  Hopefully that means it was worth it!

  I always wonder how many of these are actually just patches behind the scene to fix viral trends. Or even more devious, they use the viral trends to patch a specific failure point to make it feel like progress is being made.

  Same, it took an hour or two to click, but once it did it was a lot of fun.

  I initially hated eternal, but stuck with it because of how good 2016 was. Glad I did because it’s a blast once you get the flow of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sell USA? Why Trump's tariffs may be sparking a historic storm on Wall Street⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there is any doubt to the why, the US has lost a lot of trust people placed in it, and therefore investments don’t feel safe. I haven’t even heard anyone argue that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like that’s a hard thing to do. Most of the gatcha games I’ve interacted with hide core game mechanics behind gatcha pay walls.

  The real issue in gatcha is that many games require money to make actual progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate the trust!

  Honestly it’s kinda ruined other sudoku puzzles for me. Some of the harder ones could take me an hourish to complete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD’s Lisa Su Breaks Silence on US Chips, TSMC Hikes Pricing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tariffs can work, but they should be targeted and executed in a planned way. Completely decoupling China and US is more likely to break things than fix them.

  If you look at Biden maintaining tariffs, export controls on chips, and the Chips act you see a very coordinated and purposeful policy to keep the US at the center of chip design and manufacturing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While I’m all for glfree sudoku “Studio Goya” and their series of sudoku apps are more than worth the cost, especially Miracle Sudoku

  I know this is a thread about Foss, but they really put some crazy thought into these puzzles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump admin proposes redefining 'harm' to endangered animals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no one in the US who will benefit from what Trump is doing (besides maybe Trump and some cronies). The only people who seem to be benefiting are Russia and maybe China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump admin proposes redefining 'harm' to endangered animals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The long term impacts of Trump and the current Republicans is going to be larger than anyone is estimating. All those tech companies will be hurting in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for this, I was confused cause I thought it was still being released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a shame that game didn’t get lore attention. It’s one of the best metroidvanias I’ve ever played and has amazing combat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart Should Cost More - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His videos have been pretty weak for a while. Happy that he’s been branching out into publishing games though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I host Jellyfin in the most secure manner possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the easiest way would be to have two vlans on your local network. One that is connected to the internet and another that is local only. I think you’d have to switch networks when wanting to access the jellyfin server in that instance, but would negate the main issue, which is your VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, the only real first party game was BOTW (and that also released on the Wii u).

  There were some smaller games, like 12 switch/snipperclips/fast rmx, but the switch on release (and most of its life) was struggling for games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, real physical games are better, no arguement from me.

  Just calling out that it could be even worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason they sold any was because the console released with like one game, which seems to be the same strategy this time around too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean with this setup you can still sell the game and it keeps a used game market. I don’t like not actually “possessing” the game cause we know everything online shuts down eventually, but it’s much better than the “physical games” that actually just have a download code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t play on PC at all, a steamdeck will open you up to a whole new world of opportunity with games that are really cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if it counts as open world, but a souls-like platformer with some great movement is Blue Fire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JPMorgan Raises Risk of U.S., Global Recession to 60%⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it hilarious that everyone was surprised by the world wide tariffs, Trump has shown he’s willing to destroy anything to get what he wants (and it’s what he wants, not what’s best for America)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JPMorgan Raises Risk of U.S., Global Recession to 60%⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe all these predictions are for the 2025 calendar year. While the article doesn’t explicitly state, they do mention forecasts for 2025, so I think it’s safe to say they think the odds of the US will be in a recession by the end of the year is at 60%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like the camera!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It has been a long time, about 20 years. That being said, jumping $20 in price overnight is bound to cause some fervor.

  I also think that Mario kart world will probably justify the price, but Nintendo puts out a lot of junk that won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that thing is going to be around for a year and then just vanish, much like the kinect or eye toy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only think I’m salty about is the pricing and move away from physical games.

  I think the console, game sharing, games and more all look great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean technically you own the house and the bank owns your loan (with house as collateral), but I do get your point about taxes. However, if the bank had to pay the taxes, they’d just wind up incorporated into the loan. And if the bank actually owned the home, you’d need their approval for any changes.

  As for mortgage insurance, you can avoid that with a large enough down payment (20%).

  As for the full cost of the loan, I thought that is part of the standard paperwork? If not, sounds like you might have had a bad realtor. You can also look up that info online with any mortgage calculator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump unveils 10% tariff on all imports, plus reciprocal tariffs on dozens of nations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure it should be “war on trade” like war on terror/drugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the switch2 is going to cost more, definitely.

  Also games are going to be $80 apparently :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely, and that’s why hard/strict laws or rules can be dangerous. Much like the famous “I know it when I see it” judgment on obscenity.
