Could we convince Trump to seize this company, then he can claim he achieved his goal, and we can all just pretend he was never talking about Canada the country?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 35 minutes ago:
Or just connect a regular mouse using Bluetooth. Current switch already supports it for some games.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 1 day ago:
Yeah, this was my thinking as well. Inflation + preparations for tariffs are likely enough to bring the price to 450.

He’ll probably claim they’d have doubled their staff by now if it weren’t for them.

Developer just confirmed the they found and fixed the bug for the next version.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 3 days ago:
I honestly felt the same. Then I thought, eh, let’s just try. Turns out I don’t care about my library being split. I just add desktop icons for the games I’m playing and launch them from there without thinking about what platform it’s on.

Yeah, I’m actually a member of his channel on YouTube.

Yes, I’d much rather these be on Lemmy! I don’t want yet another blog to bookmark. By being on Lemmy I also catch new posts pretty quickly in my feed.

I love these posts, but I need to make a bug report for the Boost app, because for some reason these posts are unreadable in that app. Scrolling is just way to sluggish. Not sure if it’s the length, or number of images.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 3 days ago:
I honestly thought this was an option, but I can’t see it in the client, and the offline installers only offer all patches and the latest version. Not the original version.
I agree that’s daft, and hope that feature doesn’t get paywalled. The more people who do the survey and stress these points, the better.

I got the impression they’re aiming more for a “fan club” kind of thing where you get access to articles/videos/Q&A/voting rights, etc. So more a kind of Patreon like many creators have. I didn’t get the impression that this would in any way change the business model of the store.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 4 days ago:
I think the only way they can introduce a subscription without backlash is if they make it a purely community thing with a few bonuses. Give people access to special insights into their preservation efforts, special interviews, voting rights, Q&A, occasional free game, etc. If they lock features behind this like more cloud storage, or other stuff that customers simply expect with their game purchase, the press will be all negative.

Yeah, I found that one weird as well. Lego Island wasn’t just the first Lego game. It was one of the first open world games. Well worth preserving. Much more so than the Lego games that got added.

I was quoting thaem from memory. Could be that I misread that specific question.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 4 days ago:
I mean, if you’re giving them money monthly for a “Preservation Members Tier” then isn’t that exactly what you’d be doing? You’re just getting some perks as well.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds: First Impressions After the Long-Awaited Release 4 days ago:
Got the game free with a ROG Harpe mouse of all things. Never played a monster hunter game before, so should be interesting.

I’d love a gog galaxy client for Linux with proton support. I also agree though, that it probably wouldn’t help them become more profitable.

Unless you’ve left out anything, it doesn’t sound like human trafficking. Could def have ended badly though.
