All the cool kids hate Joycons.
Seriously though, I replaced them immediately and never took them out of the drawer again.

The number is based on the 10% of Steam accounts visible publicly. And then they calculated based on current full retail price of the unplayed games. It’s a nonsense figure.
If ads were interesting and creative, I might have turned off my adblockers to watch them.
I haven’t read the book. But the movie is indeed really terrible.
I cringe just remembering that movie.
It’s on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What was the drama there?
Possibly. The very early part of the game is linear. Very quickly in this game you’ll find it impossible to look up a guide because it is so non-linear, and it is really difficult to judge where you are in the game because you might have done things in a completely different order. Generally, early bosses just take a bit of practice and pattern recognition, and tend not to be reliant on upgrades.
Stories like this have been posted every so often to reddit. I’ll believe this is possible when I see it available in consumer electronics (and not just lab conditions).
True, but Lemmy doesn’t have the number of users needed to populate so many subs.
It will if Lemmy becomes successful. It will have to stay tiny and very niche. Or else all communities have to deal with Eternal September if they start getting a lot of users. Then communities will gravitate towards the same lowest common denominator content and comments seen elsewhere.
Lemmy hasn’t really gotten over the fragmentation of communities. There are multiple gaming subs, some have double digit users, some have thousands. That shit needs to be consolidated.
The fact that they do shitty things like this will male me ignore their games or wait for a crack. I ignore most EA games as well or anything that has another launcher/account forced on you.
Ultimately my main issue isnt that the company is doing shit things. The issue is that they don’t have to care because people will keep paying them money regardless and our opinions/objections mostly go unnoticed and inconsequential. Although public backlash did help the Helldivers 2 situation.
A lovely story. Ive had a brilliant experience myself with my 4 year old neurodiverse son who took great comfort in playing Ori and the Blind Forest, and finished the game himself and found all the secret areas I couldn’t.
Then at 5, he watched me play Super Hexagon and wanted to play that. He’s gotten to the hardest level and asks for my help, but he’s beyond my skill level.
As far as the argument against the issue you mentionrd, the logical argument was complete in the first paragraph:
the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.
It’s an amazing console, but the shortcomings you’ve mentioned are legit. When I got my Switch, I immediately ordered the Hori Split Pad. Then I threw the Joycons in a drawer and never looked at them again. A large capacity SD card is mandatory and is so cheap, I don’t consider that a big deal.
Online subscription shit is just console bullshit that I won’t pay on principle.
All the reasons you’ve mentioned have been sorted with a Steam Deck, and I haven’t ever picked up my Switch from the day my Deck arrived.
I picked up Star Wars Rogue Squadron and it has been great fun and very nostalgic to play on the Steam Deck. I was looking for a modern alternative and picked up Everspace, which I like, but am finding it incredibly difficult to get good at so far.
Hollow Knight is the greatest game of all time for me. I replayed it recently and it was such a different experience for me to move through confidently and quickly when I had a grasp of combat from the beginning. It took me months to finish it the first time because of getting lost and not knowing where to go next.
Some generic (no spoiler) tips:
The first step is normalising the idea of privacy so people can even see the point of paying for something they can easily get for free.
The next step would be to make products people can easily use without being tech savvy. A synology NAS has been great for me and I praise the setup to anyone who will listen, but even with something like Synology people will need some basic knowledge.
There’s Lightning calendar built into Thunderbird. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/calendar/
Other than that the options for alternatives are slim. https://alternativeto.net/software/lightning/?license=opensource&platform=windows
I guess hitboxes aren’t weird anymore now that they’re more mainstream. Although I did make a custom layout that is unusual (if that’s your definition of weird).
