  • Lawnchair is almost exactly like Pixel Launcher except you can do things like remove the search bar, change the icon counts, and stop the app tray search bar from searching the web (or switch it to another search provider).

    I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t be happier.

    Incidentally, it wasn’t until about 10 minutes ago that I realized “Lawnchair” is just “Launcher” if you pronounced it in a French accent.



  • Fast forward in emulators. Also, the menu toggle in Retro Arch.

    In Dungeons of Dredmor, an old mouse and KB roguelike, the community made a good layout where every button is mapped to a keyboard key to open the various inventory and crafting windows, etc. With the track pad right there to act as a mouse, it’s honestly just as good as a mouse and KB. Maybe even better.


  • If I read comments then tap the Android back button, the post looks read and it stays that way through refreshes, so I don’t seem to be affected. I’m on Lemmy.world, though.

    Sync is full of dumb bugs and the markdown uses reddit style for everything still. A fucking year later. I wish apps like Thunder would catch up in the quality-of-life features so I can abandon Sync entirely. It’s a cobbled together port of Sync for Reddit and was never given the focus it needs, especially for the price he asks for it.

    I’m on version 122 of Sync on Android.

    Where are you getting that number? If I press the bug icon when editing a comment, this is what I see. (Some stuff omitted)

    Hell, just go to the game’s page: https://www.woodus.com/den/resources/dq+nightfly.php

    Enix’s Dragon Quest is one of the most important JRPGs ever made and can be credited (alongside Final Fantasy) with turning the genre into the huge commercial proposition it is in Japan today.

    However, given that the game’s Western release – under the title Dragon Warrior – wasn’t quite as acclaimed in the US, there’s a good chance that some of you reading this haven’t actually experienced the first game in the franchise.

    Before running to Square Enix’s official ‘remaster’ of the game on your Switch, you might want to check out Dragon Quest +, a fan-made remake from NightFly Studio. Described as a “full remake” for PC containing around six to eight hours of additional content, it has been in development for over a decade and finally got a full release late last year.

    Dragon Quest + features remixed monsters, new weapons and armour, an orchestrated soundtrack, new locations inspired by Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest Monsters 2, new mini-dungeons in Alefgard and three fresh minigames.

    It’s free to download but is only compatible with Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 10 and Windows 11. It’s also playable on Steam Deck, although there appear to be some issues which are still being ironed out.
