the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with

    Hi everyone!!

    As with 99% of those here in this thread, a reddit user and so unenthused about the idea of not being able to choose my app to moderate or scroll. I’ve finally made the jump. My friends all think I am nuts, but I’m set on it. I take privacy and FOSS seriously!

    I’ve been on Mastodon twice before, but this time I think I’m making it official, and loving how Lemmy is so far <3

    I’m a Linux enthusiast, gamer (just got a Steam Deck! - BoTW via CEMU as Linkle, Stray and now starting the download for Skyrim, hoping that I can mod the game? The only YT video I checked out said that I need it installed on the SSD to work, which is hard since I have the 64gb version), I live for summer. Coffee is my reason for living.

    Honestly joining up here feels as good as it did when I ditched the typical socials.

    Can’t wait to get to know you all!

      Ditto the FOSS love, if that makes you nuts then I guess we both are!

      How well has BoTW been running on Steam Deck for you? If I could run that and ToTK emulated on a Deck I think that would be the final nail in the coffin for my switch

        I play the WiiU version of BoTW, which is indistinguishable from the Switch one and has the bonus of a crazy modding community behind it. It works beautifully, not one hitch. I use the pre-rendered shader and pipeline cache for it so it has not-a-stutter. I also play at 40fps. And being able to play the whole game as Linkle is so a fun change!

        Here is the video I followed, if you wanted a quick look!

        Also ToTK is running on the Deck. The r/yuzu and r/newyuzupiracy have a ton of videos playing it, but I’m going to finish BoTW first before tackling the new one!

        Here’s a video from a week ago of it running. But I am sure its much better now, as updates and tinkering have moved at a blistering speed over ToTK!
