UT2004: modify the setting to make it work with modern computers: https://quake.blog/configuring-unreal-tournament-2004-for-modern-windows.html#mcetoc_1g0te50f1iu - Then you need to update the settings to the new fan master server: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2902411820
Dark mode and switch language to English (unless the thing is originally German) not least because it's much easier to find support in English.
I change the WASD key bindings to ASDF (D = forward). It's more natural for a typist and makes a greater number of adjacent keys accessible.
That... That is wild
I used to change WASD
keybindings to ESDF
for a similar reason. And in most of my emulators, IJKL
stand for triangle
, square
, x
, and circle
(or their other console equivalents) respectively.
The rest are more or less assigned depending on the console. Since I mostly play PS1 games, the rest of the bindings are follows:
L1
:A
L2
:Q
R1
:;
R2
:P

Turn off mic and camera permissions
Work makes me use a Mac, and the main setting I always want to change is the power state to off.
Serious answer though, motion blur in games, ick. I also usually turn off audio normalisation and max out the quality settings for streaming audio apps
Too long to list.
Almost all keybinds. I use a gamepad, and re-map keys on the gamepad so that all game functions are as close to the same keypress as possible. Run will always be the same, interact will be the same, hold breath, reload, etc. etc. So it’s far easier to pick up speed in a game when you don’t need to spend as much time pausing to look up what key does the funcrion you need.
For first person games, map reload on mouse 4 and sprint (or whatever else was on shift, maybe a spell) on mouse 5. Melee is left alt.
This is a bit niche but is the first thing that sprung to mind: I strongly dislike the Ubuntu font family. It's one of the first things I remove from Mint when I reinstall.
I don't use the default Cinnamon look either, and picked one that looks even more like Windows 7, which is what I was using before I switched. Now it 's just a case of old habits dying hard, I guess. The icon set I use is blue though. Way better than Windows' yellow or Mint's default of green, IMO.
Dark mode? Check? Custom shell prompt? Check. Old school Minecraft grass block icon because the creeper one is awful? Check. Shell aliases, ~/bin dir and custom keybinds? Check.
More generally, there are a few websites that store what ought to be user-attached session-spanning settings in short-lived cookies. That means that certain things go back to defaults when I restart the browser, even though my login persists. Grumble, grumble, etc.
new minecraft instance -> FOV 90
new browser -> remember open tabs when closing (and install adblock)
langauge -> English (i live in Poland so many devices come with polish as a default)
in games -> subtitles on
in tv shows -> subtitles off (unless the audio is poorly balanced with sfx)
i've also built muscle memory on my specific set up of Adobe apps, so if i were to use someone else's photoshop i'd feel lost and confused
Minecraft -> Bobbing off. That shit gives me motion sickness
Language. I can understand English with no problem, but I prefer Spanish if available.

What's that?
Murca's default of "Fuck all brownies"
Needs to be changed to "Money is not God"
GNOME interactive screenshot from default to Ctrl+shift+s
That's all "customization" that's needed to make GNOME work for me
