Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers productionEnglish
6·5 days agoThat’s why most people I know got the switch. They got it in spite of bad performance to play older 3rd party games on a portable, social format. Can play with friends, on the bus, on the couch. Don’t really need better specs to do that. Even hardcore gamers may own a switch to do that - the appeal and accessibility is very broad.
The nintendo games are largely just a bonus, imo. They’re very expensive and I personally wouldn’t seek them out if I didn’t also own a switch. If I had kids or was a kid that’d be a different story, probably. The modern legend of zelda games, mario kart, and super smash were great though.
A bunch of the other nintendo titles were fun, but many of them feel weirdly like mobile games with way more content or something to me - hard to explain, but they don’t feel like $60 or $70 games (to me). Something to do with the repetitive gameplay loops, visual style, and design built around levels rather than exploration/open world. Animal crossing 100% feels like less of a game than the gamecube version did - more repetitive, basically the same appearance, feels less complex.

20·5 days agoThe value proposition just isn’t there. Much more expensive for better performance and… pokemon pokopia? There aren’t any games really taking advantage of that increased performance that I am aware of. My switch 1 still works. I’d like better performance, but not for $500
It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new
Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are

1·18 days agoHell yeah. I was considering a C5, but saw people online saying ads are present on LG.
I use shield anyway, but I will probably just follow your advice and set default input to the shield

politics @lemmy.world•Joe Biden warns that Donald Trump will try to ‘steal’ midterm elections
2·28 days agoAt least it can be contested then. It will get more support from people. If they’re going to rig it (hack machines, miscount votes), nothing can be done. But if they’re just trying to weasel they’re way into disenfranchising people, they can be beaten with turnout - and all the republican redistricting (gerrymandering) efforts have razor thin margins, lots of opportunities to flip seats and districts in elections leading up to the big one.

It already is, of course, but a large majority needs to agree

101·1 month agoCame here to say this. I get what he’s trying to say, but we are all definitely apes. And that’s pretty cool - apes are awesome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae:
The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/; hominids /ˈhɒmɪnɪdz/), whose members are known as the great apes,[note 1] are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans (Homo sapiens) remain.[1]

$1 - 5 = $5
$6 - 12 = $10
$13 - 20 = $20
$21 - 50 = $50
$51 - 70 = $100

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AIEnglish
8013·2 months agoI am genuinely curious why people are so angry and are jumping to conclusions, willing to boycott a company that has done great things for media preservation over an inconvlusive statement about something that will likely have minimal or no effect on them, GOGs employees, or the user experience of their platform.
AI assistance is a tool. Why would they ban their developers and maintainers from using Windsurf, for instance? Or their design folks from using AI tools to help make mockups? It doesn’t make any sense. If their workforce wants to make use of AI tools responsibly… why is that a problem?
AI use does not mean they will start churning out slop. And, frankly, GOG is a software distributor/vendor… they don’t have creative control over the games they sell. The AI would be in the behind the scenes development of their platform, not in the products. The only way it’d affect users is if they put it in the user interface somehow (but… how and why would they?)

46·2 months agoLots of these creeps could do that. The thing is they won’t to “protect their legacy” when, ironically, speaking out, admitting their own crimes, apologizing to their victims & taking full legal and personal accountability, and taking the other bastards down would be the best thing they could do to leave something of a positive legacy and begin to atone.


Well… you see… 25% of the game is 100% human made!
