What does your computer home screen look like?

Can’t be doing with icons everywhere. Messy enough offscreen as it is. Work on a laptop with a 23" Monitor dual-screened so it’s this x2.

Still is from Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty, from one of their lockdown dumps last year:

Busted! 🙆 Laptop is relatively new so haven’t got round to tweaking the task bar. It’s kinda been left there as a reminded to have a browse through and see what it’s like compared to the last time I bothered looking months/years ago, but meh.

The important thing is that the task bar is in its proper position at the top of the screen, right? (Logic actually tells me it belongs on the left, but Windows doesn’t display it very well when you put it to the side, so having it there would be the work of a pervert.)

The important thing is that the task bar is in its try-hard position at the top of the screen, right?

I agree

Have a big dumb stripe down the middle of the screen that looks really bad on colour but almost fine with black and white. Apple store said 400 to repair it, fuck off apple

New work laptop - I haven’t bothered setting up the background beyond choosing a default that was less bright than Apple thought I’d want to use.

The desktop will gradually fill up with screenshots and other temporary files which get filed away to the bin every few months.

Meant to do this when it was new, and forgot until I updated my computers to Big Sur today. I have a desktop mac (where all the stuff lives) which is synced with a macbook air. So the desktops look the same, except that the laptop doesn’t have all the Adobe apps on. I don’t like loads of clutter or distracting backgrounds on them. I have loads and loads of huge Photoshop files neatly filed away in folders.

It’s annoying me that when I updated all the Adobe stuff today, not all of the icons updated to the new smaller size.

Myst!

It’s about a fiver these days

I wonder if I can get past the point that stumped me FOREVER when I was 14

[anon24576931]

I got Little Big Adventure at the same time for that exact reason.

Still haven’t got round to playing either of them 6 months later mind.

[frenchtoast]

I went to play Riven a good fifteen years after I originally played it. Still got stuck on the exact same part. It’s embarrassingly early in the game too Haven’t ever looked a solution up, it’ll be a mystery until the end

I remember playing LBA for the first time and wondering how videogame graphics could ever be bettered

I’m really surprised they haven’t brought it back for the Switch- it would work really well.
