Guy was a legend, I bought Terraria because of him. His voice and style was amazing. Rest in piece!

What is all this insolence? You will find yourself in gladiator school vewy quickly with wotten behavior like that.

No problem, its not some golden rule you should follow (especially from an internet stranger) but it's mainly bad roads, bad economy (poor police/ambulance availability), the little Roma villages/gipsy makeshift living areas, where I would not show up alone with any valuables (similar to gipsy ghettos near big cities) and last but not least wildlife. While bears and other predators are not uncommon, rabid dogs are also a possibility.

Before somebody accuses me hating Romania (its a beautiful country with incredible landscapes and the capital and developed parts are very popular tourist destinations), the above is also applicable for many other europen countries. This is why I strongly suggest doing some research before planning such trips, as the relative safety and enjoyment of a holiday can vary from region to region within a small country. This is why its borderline impossible to give a straight answer to the original post.

Not sure what answers you looking for, if you want to have a carefree vacation just read some reviews of specific countries and regions.

If you are backpacking or planning a multi-country trip I would check the crime rates of the places, there are many websites with the statistics available, like THIS

As a general rule of thumb popular places and big cities will have the highest crime rates, while smaller cities and countryside the lowest.

Also I would avoid solo trips and backpacking in general in the rural parts of less-developed countries, like Romania, etc.

Pretty much thats it. Europe as a whole is probably one of the safest travel destinations in the earth with some planning and common sense.

2 years ago I would say PCs over laptops, owned a couple of gaming laptops and always ended up going back to desktops. Still have a decent, but relatively old desktop PC. Lots of gaming laptops generate a brutal amount of heat, so gaming in bed or holding the machine in your lap is not very comfortable. At the end you just sit at a desk plugged in, same as a regular PC. The only positive of a laptop is if you traveling a lot and want to play high end games it makes it possible.

However today I would go with the third option: handheld gaming PC. The Steam Deck absolutely changed my life how I game. I am finishing more games, I can play literally anywhere, anytime and its just so damn convenient. Sure, there are compromises, its not for everyone and AAA and multiplayer gaming is not really ideal, but neither of them interests me. For everyday PC stuff you need a docking station and connect up all peripherals to use them as a workstation, again not ideal but they all work as a full fledged PC as well.

Again, probably not everyones cup of tea, but it just suits me so damn well. Last year I did over 90% of gaming on handheld.

Also since the success of Steam Deck the competition is catching up fast and almost monthly someone releases a new handheld gaming PC so there are many options to choose from.

In my opinion the problem is not who would agree/disagree with it, its more like the fanbase and marketing is on another level and most people would just not care as long as they have the latest iPhone with the latest buzzword functions and features.

I feel people are more forgiving towards apple. I dont have any study or anything to back it up, just can't see why the die-hard userbase of the most isolated and curated ecosystem would care about anything.

Yaay, I can spend another 500 hours comfortably having no idea what am I doing with my builds!

The rest of the snails chilling under other leaves

 
 

I'm getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I'm planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I'm at it might as well watch movies on it.

So my question is: any good setup/apps/guides for movie streaming or downloading I should know about? I don't have a home server, or anything, usually just torrent what I want on my desktop PC and watch it there, but I have zero experience with pirating movies on android.

I will definitely not use the tablet for social media, google services, etc so I can do with it whatever I want, it's purely for comics/ebooks/movies.

 

Most likely a repost of a repost from 5 orher platforms but I love how quickly Lemmy become my favourite place and would like to contribute!

 

Hi Lemmings!

I have my Deck since March 2022. I was one of the fortunate ones to receive it quite soon.

Lately I noticed two things: The right joysticks movement is not as smooth as it was before and sometimes it makes a creaking noise.

The "A" button lost some of its resistance and become super sensitive in some games registering twice per button push. For example in a text heavy game I often skip dialogues because of this.

The device is in a perfect working order, no abuse, no damage, screen protector since day 1, protective skin applied, etc.

My question: Should I contact Valve and ask for a repair..

...or maybe try to get some nice replacement parts and upgrade the buttons and joysticks?

How does the available replacements compare to original parts? Are they an improvement? Or should I go the safe route and let Valve repair it for me?

 

First of all love the app, its my daily driver now for Lemmy!

I was wondering if you could favourite or "star" communities in the list so they would always show on top of the list? I love to check my feed but also I like to daily browse specific communities. It would help a lot, especially with my growing number of communities subbed.

Many thanks and keep up the great work!
