You might enjoy Hilda if you like Bluey. Those are my two comfort shows.

Dropping to the display manager would kill your desktop session, as far as I know. I think what you maybe want is Hyprlock. Setup whatever style you want, and than spawn both the Hyprlock daemon and activate it on login.

Aren’t the initial sounds exactly why you’re right? Like I thought that was the main reason people think the creator is wrong…

I agree with the person that said you can spreadsheet-ify any game really, and in that way I know how you feel with Hades. I’ve been playing on a relatively young save lately before digging into Hades 2 and it’s been very refreshing not having all the trinkets and rerolls to really get exactly the build I want. Though even then I feel like there will always be some deviation from your plan, but you’re still given tools to tune your build to what you wanted, and you can still overcome the rng with skill expression. With Balatro I often felt I was just loosing a run because I didn’t get a necessary card or something that felt much more out of my control.

Totally agree with Isaac showing this the best. I’ve got friends that have thousands of hours in that game and still come across combos and interactions between items they haven’t found before.

Balatro. It becomes a spreadsheet sim very quickly, in my opinion. I think part of the reason Binding of Isaac and Hades feel much more timeless to me is that every run has this sort of intuitive randomness vs this just full rng you have to counter with math. Balatro feels solved, and while I guess you could count Hades max heat run as “solving” the game, the replayability of it feels much higher because builds feels more dynamic than “make number go up faster”.

Not retro at all, but Destiny 2 Forsaken. I’ve always loved the Bungie game feel and gunplay, and I finally kicked my D2 habit right after Edge of Salvation week one. I’ve tried many single player shooters since and have yet to find something that comes close to scratching the itch.

Could you share your dots? I’ve been itching to move to Niri, but I’m dreading having to fully redo my rice.

Feeld is a half decent dating app for this, but I really hate suggesting a platform that still tries to rope you into a subscription by praying on insecurities around not getting many matches. But it seems like people are pretty open with what they are looking for, and it’s a pretty diverse platform.

Second for Owncast. Pretty much the only thing I know of. Or maybe screen share in a shelf hosted Revolt server?? With permissions it should be pretty easy to set up a chat only room where the person streaming is the only one that can stream and speak.

Any chance we could get the dot files? This is really clean and I’d like to copy a few parts while I’m still on Hyprland. I’m hoping to more to Niri in the future, but I’m still tinkering with that on my system and would love something that looks this good in the interim.
