Late posting but I did remember to change my wallpaper to something "festive" for October:

Just a quick little tribute to Star Parodier.

I put it together by combining a scan of the game's key-art from the provided wiki link (with added blur/glow to counteract the harsh edges a bit - I didn't feel like spending the entire day getting rid of each stray pixel manually ), with a space background that I found online.


Here's a copy that isn't a screenshot of my desktop.

The humbling of my main Arch Linux computer continues:



The power button on my Acer X223w monitor has become physically fused, so for now I am using its little brother the Acer X193w which I had spare instead, featuring the same 16:10 aspect ratio but a smaller resolution. I will be looking for a better display, but like with potentially fixing my AMD RX 460 graphics card, it is not the burning priority it would once have been for me as long I am still doing most of my gaming on my retro computer.

It's now December 1st here in the UK, so I've moved over to my rotation of Christmas-themed video game desktop-backgrounds. This one, of course, is a Bomberman one, which I'm sure was completely unexpected.

It's an edit of an old 1024x768 image that's archived here - I brought it up to 1920x1080 by moving everyone out to the corners, reconstructing Golem Bomber's missing finger, and adding a bunch more snow. I've uploaded the version that's not a screenshot of my desktop here if anybody would like a copy.

Is this really a thing? Am I really out of this world?
I know some people do this for Christmas, Halloween etc, but I never did that... Tell me more.

Yeah, it's a thing.

There's not really a lot to tell - I just pointed Xfce at a different folder so that it cycles through those this month, haha. Not that I have very many themed backgrounds for this, but I tried to get into the spirit of the season regardless!

And still on the hunt for a new monitor.

I got me a new monitor...... So now both screens are the same size and the same resolution!!!!.......

So I actually picked up an Acer AL1916W while out thrifting today. It is a sideways upgrade from the Acer X193w I was using as they are both 19" with a 1440x900 maximum resolution, and still a downgrade from the Acer X223w with the faulty power switch I had before, but for $10 I am not going to complain about picking up another 16:10 panel. The AL1916W looks slightly sharper so that's nice I guess, but I will keep looking.
