The first Switch still seemed like a good purchase because you could own the physical cartridge of a game so it’ll still be available long after its servers shut down. The Switch 2 just gives you a physical NFT with which to download the game with. Anyone who purchases this system will be very disappointed a few years later when it cuts off access to their library.

Gentoo was mentioned more actually.

I’ve worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.

RTX 3080 owner here. I get a black screen whenever I try to play a game after the desktop goes to sleep in Linux Mint. The only workaround is to restart the PC and play it before its screensaver comes on. The struggle is real.

The closest thing we’ll see for that kind of legislation is when BYD inevitably makes it to the US. Even then they might word it to say all data traffic from cars would have to go to US servers. These piece of shit politicians work for the data harvesting ghouls, after all.

APUs like the 5700g during the pandemic’s GPU shortage were already an amazing deal and kept me from blowing too much cash on a couple of new builds. AMD’s a real hero when it comes to value.

Thanks for this curated news update! It almost feels like reading segments from a gaming magazine.

I looked up a house recently as part of a Craigslist transaction and noticed it was the only blurred one in the street. I checked its Zillow listing and saw way more than what you could see on Street View anyway and chuckled. When I got there I saw there was a Tesla parked on the driveway which probably explained why it was blurred in the first place.

I just finished printing this basket for my bed since there’s no room for night stands. It’s made using the last spare bits of filament I had lying around but who cares since you normally can’t see it from most angles anyway.

Where’s that image from?

Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.

That would go great as a rotating poster setup for home decoration.

What would you recommend for a Galaxy XCover 6 Pro? I don’t mind getting out of Google’s ecosystem.

I just played it for the first time 4 months ago and it still holds up incredibly well. The art direction definitely helps cut down on the expanded rendering capabilities of modern PCs. While you’ll still have some reduced resolutions of distant landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, you’ll barely notice it as the distance is often covered by buildings, trees, hills, Nazi fortifications, and so on.

Our data’s just too valuable for these parasites. Data privacy laws may eventually pass to compel software companies to store everything in US servers only.

So much King of the Hill. It’s the perfect background show.

I’m pretty sure Nevada and Arizona could still be salvaged.

I think keeping it in an isometric perspective helps to simplify things a lot. The mechanics wouldn’t have to be as immersive and it should allow for more freedom for things to change depending on the player’s preferences. I’m still skeptical but at least it seems they’re going in a reasonable direction.

It’s too bad we never got a third installment. It would’ve been cool to see where they’d go after Serkonos like the Pandyssian Continent. With the way things are going with the devs that’s probably a good thing though.

Fantasian. It was made by the father of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi and composed by Nobuo Uematsu and feels just like a PS1 era FF game. It’s a bittersweet sensation knowing this is probably the last time we’ll have such a title made by these legendary figures working together but I’m happy they released it all the same.
