Any PS4 peeps here? I've noticed that PKGs for Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5 are not on any of the usual sites. Does anyone know where they could be found?

It could be seemingly paranormal or simply perplexing. Just a story that sparks your curiosity.

Why can't the U.N. just make war illegal?

This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade.

With that said...

Why YSK: I see a lot of users posting frequent questions about Lemmy that are currently answered by kbin.

For example:

• The ability to block a whole domain, or subscribe to one
• The ability to subscribe to individual users
• A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
• Mitigation for the "tracking pixel" issue

I find that almost every day, I see Lemmy users asking about features and I think, "well, kbin does that." I think it would be worthwhile for more users to check into both platforms and decide which might be best for them.

I know there's no official info on it. Just curious if anyone's caught wind of anything or wants to make an educated guess, just cause I'm curious what people think.

I'm way too excited, but I'm not buying a PS5 for one game. lol

Hey, friends! I have a weird issue that I'm hoping someone can suggest a fix for, cause I have searched all over and cannot find an answer.

Essentially, for the last several months, I randomly get these black flashes that happen at the top of my screen. They take up the top 1/4-1/3 of my display and they're gone in an instant. They happen at random times. Not while I'm gaming, but sometimes when I'm watching a non-fullscreen video, browsing the web, etc. I cannot purposefully trigger it, I have no clue what it is. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's krunner, because it's positioned similarly to the krunner search bar? I really have no clue.

It seems to pop up more often while I'm active (typing, scrolling, clicking, etc.) but not in any one particular program or at any particular time, and it definitely happens when I'm inactive, too. It's really hard to pin down what triggers it.

Specs:
OS: Fedora 38 (KDE Spin)
Display Server: X11 (but it happens on Wayland, too)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

My system/software is fully up to date.

I'm always running OpenRGB, GWE, and Mullvad VPN in the background, and I often have Firefox, Element, and/or Steam open at any given time. I don't think it's any of those, but I'm including this info in case it could be, or if it's helpful.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you.

I keep these notes for myself, figured they might help others, as well. :)

I'm a long-time guitarist, new to playing this genre. I'm trying to get a sound reminiscent of Blink, Sum 41, etc. Their sound is crunchy, but has a lot more clarity than say metal guitar usually has. I'm having trouble making it punchy enough without getting too muddy.

Pedal-wise, I only have a tuner, a crybaby, and DOD FX510-B Overdrive Plus. I'm playing with a crappy single coil strat that I'm hoping to upgrade to a nicer humbucker strat one of these days.

I know those bands are probably rocking Marshal stacks and have lots of stomp boxes to play with, but if anyone can suggest some settings that might get me closer to that sound with the gear I have, I would really appreciate it. 🤘

The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
