RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Oh, and the Shutdown feature actually works as it's supposed to in Linux! 😆 000
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 21/06/2026So far my planned Creative Cloud replacement looks somewhat like this: Photoshop = Photopea / Affinity www.photopea.com Illustrator = Graphite / Affinity editor.graphite.art InDesign = Affinity Studio Premiere = DaVinci Resolve After Effects = DaVinci Fusion / Pikimov / Blender pikimov.com 100
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Windows is my side chick now. After hesitating for years I finally took the plunge and set up Linux on my primary machine. I will use Windows on my 2nd SSD to open older Adobe After Effects files. But for the future I hope to rebuild my motion graphics skillset around DaVinci Fusion and other tools. 120

RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 08/03/2026#Game #Journaling Tag 2: Bin bei #Moonring ein Stück vorangekommen. Gefühlt bringt es mich dem Spiel näher, und lässt mich nochmal über das Erlebte reflektieren. Was mich Stand jetzt gefühlt vom Spiele-Hopping abhält. Mehr Fokus ist ja grundsätzlich nicht schlecht. #Intentional #Gaming hat was. 010
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Ich glaub, ich hab endlich mal einen Nutzen für dieses #Notizbuch gefunden. Ich hör ja ständig, dass z.B. #Journaling mit backloggd.com beim Durchspielen helfen soll. Mal gucken, wie lange ich das durchziehe. Aber die Grund-Idee gefällt mir. So nach und nach das fette #Gaming #Backlog abarbeiten. 020
Reposted by RetroDimaDMGpage | GAME BOY Blog @dmgpage.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Diese frühe Werbung der Game Boy Classic-Serie aus dem Jahr 1996 berücksichtigt die ersten vier Titel, die unter dem Label veröffentlicht wurden. Später kamen noch weitere Titel hinzu, wie zum Beispiel Kirby’s Dream Land oder The Legend of Zelda – Link’s Awakening 🙂 062

Sigma Star Saga DX, the 2D shoot-'em-up/RPG, is coming to Switch, PS5, and Steam in the not-too-distant future! We hope to share the release date soon, but for now you can add it to your wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/3281520/… 14414
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Okay, Challenge #1 wird schon mal klappen. #itjustworks #linux #gamedev 051
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Thousand Year Old Vampire is something I'll definitely take a look at. When you're journaling, are you guys writing? I'm not sure if that's something I can keep up for a long time. I mean, how much exhaustive (exhausting?) detail do I have to go in? Maybe some kind of speech-to-text apps could help. 220
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 06/02/2026The Wretched is indeed something I have to try yet. That's one of those that use a card deck, right? I'm all into unusual mechanics. Dice are fun, but there's so much more out there. Still have to try Dread with the whole Jenga tower thing. 😄 110
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I tried 4AD already, and while I think that it might be a very good approximation of a regular dungeon crawl, I find myself gravitating towards more story-driven approaches. I'm usually into PbtA and Rules Light systems because I feel that they give me just enough rules without constricting me. 110
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Does anybody have experience with the medium of #SoloRPG? I find it quite cumbersome to get a group together on the regular, but I still want to play and challenge my brain with improv and creativity. I'm looking for something that's preferably #NotDnD and a somewhat lightweight #TTRPG. Any ideas? 240

RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 04/02/2026This would work for "lightweight" work like images in Photoshop. (it's still a RAM hog) But rendering videos and motion design for example requires all of the resources. In my case I'm thinking about some kind of virtualization with QEMU, which is supposed to allow for better performance. 110

RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 03/02/2026In that case, I can confirm that Affinity works. github.com/ryzendew/Lin... And www.photopea.com is not bad either, even though it's browser-based. GIMP still pretty much sucks sadly. And Krita is an option if you're into digital painting.github.comGitHub - ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer: A repository that helps users get affinity software working on GNU/Linux 🐧A repository that helps users get affinity software working on GNU/Linux 🐧 - ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer 000
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 03/02/2026That's great to hear, I'm thinking about switching myself. But in my case that would mean dropping more than 10 years of knowhow in After Effects completely for an uncertain future. Again, a hard decision to make, if there's no open source alternative for certain workflows. 100
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Yeah, but on the other hand it's fucking Windows 11. Hard decision to make 😅 310
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Yeah, it's probably a good time in general to switch up the software stack completely... I'm thinking about going all-in on Linux. Which would mean losing After Effects. Hopefully DaVinci Fusion can be used for character animation. I would recommend Synfig Studio to you, but tbh I really don't... 😅 100
RetroDima @retrodima.bsky.social · 22/01/2026That's basically how I do it... Don't know what that says about me. 010
