- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 3 days ago:
a lot of savings
Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.
So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.
Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?
I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.
My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.

That would cost them enormous amounts of cash and hours of work just for one market.
There’s no point, the best option is just to ignore the US and let them pay more than the rest of the world, even if that means fewer sales.

Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.
I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.
The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.
Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used toto 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.
As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
Scent-ore
Simply “englishified” from French where I’ve ever heard only one way, Centaur (100 tor).
- Comment on I just found out 200GB SFP exists (imagine my seed ratio!) 1 week ago:
I’ve seen two times in my life couples walking on the street with the husband holding is hand around the woman neck like that.
I told friends and they didn’t believe some people could do that. Later during the year we saw another couple walking the same way.
I really don’t understand, like you said, it gives me the creeps.

- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 5 weeks ago:
They do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage) but they definitely do.
Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 !

I really like the “thermal runaway thing” expression, and yeah it is a false equivalency but it’s a funny one.
EV charging and the tech around it can be slow today, but it doesn’t mean we should abandon and go back to what we know is working (as some people want to). This is a recipe for zero innovation and not the way to become a Star Trek like civilization.
In my city there are electric buses that charge in a few seconds at some stops along the route. No overhead wires, no big diesel engines and no noise.
We just need to work and improve those new vehicles, find better than the actual EV and combustion engines as well.
- Comment on Tesla Installing Countermeasures as People Are Hacking the Cables Off Superchargers 1 month ago:
Just get rid of the fuel stations. It’s ridiculous that vehicles owners should expect to refuel their cars anywhere but at home or at work
- Comment on Your Earbuds Are Gross. Here’s How to Clean Them Properly 1 month ago:
Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!
Thanks wired.
- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
They’re on the backlog for me.
I bought it mostly for supporting the strike and for the Godot C# books.
- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
Nope, we learned about it from an English written post (see my other comment) about a pcgaming article.
If course we immediately spammed the French lemmy because vive la grève !
- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
I first saw it on !technology@lemmy.world (in English). It was also on !technology@beehaw.org

In case you missed it (posted several times on lemmy) the STJV grève bundle on itch.io
- Comment on ‘By humans, for humans’: French dubbing industry speaks out against AI threat. 1 month ago:
We have (or had?) a bad English cursus at school, I don’t know if that changed as I have not be at school in a while.
A somewhat strong culture with enough to read, listen and watch 100% French content in a lifetime, so that doesn’t help. And a few remains of rebellion that does not help as well.
I believe the French dubbing industry is also known for its quality with plenty of talented voice actors. But I heard this from others, I usually consume cinema or tv in the original language.
You are right that it clearly does not help. I am always annoyed when I see a French speaker crying over Steam forums that x video game does not have a French traduction, just play it in English duh.
Anyway, we have a perfect dumb science excuse that we love: We cannot speak good English because of our native language frequency. That’s it, we can’t do shit about it, c’est la vie
- Comment on ‘By humans, for humans’: French dubbing industry speaks out against AI threat. 1 month ago:
I speak perfect English and voluntarily keep my French accent cause it gets me laid.
Also because I’m too lazy to introduce myself or put the fucking emphasis at the correct place, but mostly because of the first reason.

- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 4 months ago:
Kerbal Space Program
I’m well above a thousand hours on the first game. Then all my flying sims (MSFS, Xplane, DCS, Elite Dangerous) also have a very high hour count. But for civilian airliners most of those hours are spent AFK in cruise.
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 4 months ago:
I made the switch from YNAB cause !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world
I only had a small understanding problem at the beginning but then I quickly managed to replicate my YNAB (and import the data).
Now that I’m used to it I don’t see any problems and I like it.
The lack of mobile app could be a downside but I don’t budget on my phone.
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 4 months ago:
A simple homemade NAS, mostly for hosting my Plex library and cloud.
The synology needs to be emptied, removed and sold.
The m2 Mac mini was hosting some docker like pihole and actual budget but those are now on another Mac mini used as a workstation, so this one will be sold as well.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 4 months ago:
I like the ones that add a second operating system cyberware. It can be seen as cheating but you can have a netrunner deck and a sandevistan at the same time (or whatever double cybwrware you want to play with).
I think it’s cyberware EX. I use the collection function of Nexus mods (ordered by rating) so I don’t have to hand manage hundreds of mods.

I know you are right. I said that number from out of my ass as I was at work.
I just checked gog and I am actually at 201h and 7 minutes. My first play through was probably around 120 to 140h but I honestly don’t remember.
Funny enough, the actual save I use is from my first playthrough, the last save right before the last mission. As if I don’t watch to abandon this specific V (female basass street kid net runner with katana).
