This is my custom Manjaro desktop that I use for gaming. (Steam, Lutris)

I like lightweight things, no gnome or plasma for me. Even modern XFCE sickens me. I use Lumina Desktop 1.60 with a specific commit of fluxbox (1d19662c8975e881b4fa6465a8305be3ea5282ee) for the window manager, otherwise bad window and focus behaviour. That's the whole REASON I switched to Lumina, because I was previously using Trinity (TDE) for years, until I started having focus problem with some games, for example taskbar popping up in the middle of games and mouse breaking out etc.

I named it Manjaroo, because it really is both gutted and heavily customized. I have a lot of distro packages as dependencies (too onerous to maintain all of it + lib32), but the main stuff is all custom PKGBUILDs. This is a lot of work, to keep a "good" gaming environment that I don't hate (admittedly, I don't like much).

Some Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! boss-battle fan-art that I like, this time around, depicting Bomberman fighting Ashtarth!

Quoting: GroganI don't know what would happen if I use img here (automatic resize or pollute thread with 1920x1080 image?) so I'll just make a clickable link.

The forum will automatically shrink the image to fit, and then it can be clicked to view it at full-size.

Hahahahaha! Yes! However, I'm probably the worst pirate you've ever heard of - my Entroware Orion i5 (recently promoted to my daily workhorse) is simply named after a location in Five Nights at Freddy's.

Oddly, none of my machines have yet found themselves named after a location from a Bomberman game...

Oh wow, those are spectacular!

A couple of months ago we were throwing away old computers at work. I saved this puppy and turned it into a little gaming system. I've upgraded with old parts I had laying around, with the exception of the RX 580 which I bought used.

I just did some simple upsizing on some graphics from Wario Blast Featuring Bomberman to add a handful of new ones into my rotation; This one is from Bomberman's ending, and shows him riding the Motobomber, which is the most fun power-up in the entire game. I really like the chunky look of resized Game Boy pixel-art, so I might do this again.

I really do have a lot of non-Bomberman backgrounds, honest! I'll endeavour to show more of them going forward.

My humble old system.
To work and play!

This one just came up in my rotation - it's some beautiful Yume Nikki fan-art by a Steam user called Yonetee, representing the Sky Garden area of the game.

Honestly forgot to swap my wallpaper for September until now so I just picked some gradients to see me through to the end of next week or so.

Some Minecraft (or, indeed, Minetest, if you prefer!) fan-art showing a blocky wolf sitting at the top of a blocky mountain looking out over some blocky islands and howling at the blocky moon, this time around.
