21 | hey/they - Casual gamer with more heart rather than skill. Drummer and songwriter. Pro wrestling fan for over 10 years with no sign of stopping. Obsessed with old(ish) hardware & tech. Daily driving Arch Linux + KDE Plasma. Comfy vibes. 💞
Damn, who would've known that not having subjects force-fed to me in a never ending feed mixed with the actual people I follow is good for my mental health.

Very grateful for Bluesky for allowing me to be casually on social media and *still* have a good time. 💞

RSS is such an underrated tech and that blows my mind.

Tempted to start making Linux content potentially, from a casual perspective. We'll see with time. Maybe it'd be fun to learn kdenlive through it!

Retro Video Games will always be my favorite hobby. I really, REALLY miss dedicated options on main consoles nowadays...

Yes, things like the eShop were pricey, but the assortment of games was awesome almost immediately! Just a nice convenience that I miss dearly.

The Nintendo Switch going so hard for the end of it's life cycle is NOT something I expected, but am really glad is happening.

Now, if only we could ramp up the speed of these NSO retro releases... maybe when the next system drops? 🤔

Thought I'd share my desktop here, since I've been posting about tech more and Linux in general.

Daily driving Arch + KDE Plasma at the moment and beyond excited for Plasma 6! Installed using the 'archinstall' script from the Arch ISO.

Much easier than I honestly expected. 🥰

The winners of the KDE Plasma 6 Wallpaper Contest -

Absolutely phenomenal! I love them both, personally, and am using the 'Comet' variant of it.

Cannot wait for Plasma 6!! 😄

Back on Arch Linux, instead of EndeavourOS. Just felt like doing things a bit more 'manually', I guess? So far, so good!

Even though most of my 'console' gaming is done via emulation nowadays, I really cannot deny the comfort I get from sitting back on the couch and playing through like, Mario Galaxy or something. I really, really need to invest sometime into getting a Steam Deck.
