  in 2020, they made people pay 60$ for 3 old games. people thought it was ridiculous.

  in 2025, they’re making you pay 70$ for 2 old games.

  lmao

  nah, death to all intellectual property. it’s not better when it’s physical. in fact, in some cases, it’s much much worse; like with medicine patents

  they didn’t include galaxy 2 in 3d all stars to make the suckers double dip 5 years later lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Pokémon Company head lawyer says yeah, those latest Nintendo patents are a bit much, aren't they⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i wonder tho, why are they going after palworld specifically? cause palworld is faaaar from being the first pokemon-inspired game, and id argue it’s not even the best one

  and it can’t just be the plagiarized design allegations (which, tbf, some pals are really on the limit, not that it’s a bad thing), because if it was they’d just use their existing copyright instead of filing tons of new patents

  nintendo directs were always advertisements, it’s kinda their goal: to advertise to you upcoming nintendo products

  I guess Iwata and Reggie made them more pleasant to watch, but they were still ads

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  even if you’re a nintendo fan, you don’t have to tune in to 1 hour of advertisements, you know

  i promise, once it’s over you’ll find out about all announcements you care about in other ways

  Screenshot of Lemmy, showing two posts next to each other; one is the post I’m commenting under, showing the contrast on Reddit between “commentary on an escalating fascist state and a vapid repost everyone has seen a million times”, and the next post is titled “This bacon grease” with the image of bacon grease on a spatula.

  damn look at how evil lemmy is!!! elevating both of these posts to the same importance!!! /s

  outdated news from may 2nd, in fact today a judge ruled that google won’t have to sell chrome or android, and they can keep paying mozilla/apple for being the default search engine

  BUT, they will have to share search data publicly, and the default search engine deals can’t be exclusive anymore

  yea, that’s what i said when talking about newer gens being better

  i have a i5-1240P and im lucky to get 6 hours while on power saver reading PDFs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i’ve had a framework 13 from a time before there was any other type of framework, and it’s a great laptop honestly. ive yet to do big upgrades, but just being able to repair it myself is awesome. one time i dented the chassis around where the power button was. no worries, just changed the input cover and bam 5 minutes later it’s like new.

  my only complaint is that the battery life is atrocious. i heard it’s better (but still not great) on newer models tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  so far, I haven’t encountered a game marked platinum on protonDB where the GOG version didn’t also work

  and really, unless the steam and GOG versions of a game are radically different, i don’t see why the Linux compat should be different

  the only way protonDB will fail you is if a game is on GOG but not steam; protonDB (frustratingly) only lists steam games

  elden ring released on PS4 and xbox one, consoles which are (on paper) less powerful than the switch 2

  the game ran fine there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the switch 2 is ARM based, not x86. idk the intricacies of the switch 2 GPU when compared to mainstream nvidia graphics cards, but I’d guess there are major differences between a mobile APU and a big boy PC GPU

  technically capable of running software… but just barely.

  come on now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well optimized for the steam deck (or for PCs, really)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  time for the switch 3!

  …or time for developers to rediscover the long lost art of Optimization

  …do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?

  for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word “gnome”), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU

  imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine
