  I would be okay with defective controllers if Nintendo bothered to fix them. Through the entire lifespan of the console they sold controllers that would eventually drift. I own 3 pair of joy cons, they all drift. When sent for repair they were all deemed unrepairable, even those under warranty. That’s inexcusable.

  In the new iteration of joycons they STILL don’t use TMR or hall effect sticks.

  I don’t want to support this company.

  I bought the Switch 1 on launch and loved it, it was everything I was looking for on a console. However, every single joystick broke. I bought several joy con packs and they all drift heavily. Nintendo Iberia refused to even repair them. They gave me the option to either replace them with a 20 euro discount or pay 20 euros for them to ship them back.

  Awful product quality, awful support. Guess what, I’m spending my money elsewhere.

  No email service can refuse to obey the law. None.

  Proton is at least non-profit now.

  I also played ff8 before ff7 and largely prefer it. The combat system is a mess but I’ve grown to like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played a bunch of HoM 3 but I don’t think I understood how to really play the game. That game is a lot more complex than it initially seems and it’s not trivial to me when to add new heroes, explore and split your units.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lightning Returns was boring AF. I tried to play it like 4 times but I just can’t. It’s awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  13-2 is one of the worst ones, to be honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Final Fantasy X is probably my favorite Final Fantasy of all time.

  The HD remaster has some “cheats” to smoothen your experience, if you ever want to give it another shot:

  • No random battles
  • Infinite gil
  • All non key items
  • invencibily (to make up for low levels) This way you can enjoy the story and move quickly through the game.

  If you don’t enjoy turn based battles nor grinding I think this IP is just not for you. Definitely nothing before Final Fantasy 12. Maybe Final Fantasy 12 is ok, though I thought the story was on the weak side.

  Dota is not casual at all, it’s quite competitive. It’s the reason the communication is so toxic.

  Couch co-op games are very nice but in my personal experience friends don’t make a habit of gathering to play them. It’s a infrequent ocasion, online gaming is much much easier. Boardgames are a cooler experience if you’re gonna have people frequently at your place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

  I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly jmprove your chances of winning, most often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

  When I use the linux or web client it asks for a selfie with my ID card when I try to enter a server.

  Works fine on Android.

  Bad example since lucky literally means good luck.

  I admire you, friend!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that I have not yet met a single human who enables a bios password. An attacker can simply boot the bios and disable it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t install most linux distributions with secure boot enabled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to install Linux, secure boot limits the distributions you can use. If you don’t then it’s whatever.

  We got a puppy so gaming has been pretty much non-existent… We did try a few games, but none of them were good enough for me:

  • Phogs: felt very repetitive

  • Unraveled 2: Can’t really say what turns me off but it really doesn’t spark joy for me. The puzzles just feel uninteresting and with no purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nop. Disable it in the settings/apps

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also don’t have a Gemini app but if you search for Gemini in the Settings main menu, it shows up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.

  Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It went on sale yesterday so I ended up buying it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not. I have a 144hz monitor and even at 144fps games games with heavy camera movement are unplayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games don’t even have crosshairs… Another big offender was Spyro, for instance. Just the camera moving was enough to make me sick in the stomach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phogs

  This one caught my eye as well. Split Fiction had a small section that played very similarly to this game, don’t want to spoil too much. It was fun, but I’m unsure if I want a full game about it.

  Cassette Beasts

  This one looks good for me heh :P

  Sea of Stars

  This one has been on my wishlist forever now, the mixed reviews have been turning me off. I’m not sure if these classic RPG games are her thing but we should try and figure it out.

  Children of Morta

  This one fell flat for me. I don’t know why, I didn’t connect with the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had motion sickness ever since I remember. I just can’t play shooters, it’s physically impossible for me.

  Somethings help like a TV instead of a monitor, zooming out as much as possible, moving as further from tv as possible, low camera speed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a struggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trine

  I do own the first 2, I totally forget about this game. Definitely gonna give it a try.

  Spiritfarer

  I already played and loved SpiritFarer, it was an amazing journey. I don’t want to say too much but I just can’t repeat it any time soon.

  The lego games

  I forgot to mention in the original post that we did play the lord of the rings lego game and I really hated it. I found the gameplay so boring…

  Knights And Bikes

  This one looks intriguing, I’ll check it out!

  Monaco

  I do own Monaco, maybe i’ll give it a try!

  Thanks!

  I have RetroDeck set up but I’m honestly not into emulation. I do own a Nintendo Switch and we’ve played a couple of those. They’re fun but I’m not looking into supporting Nintendo for the time being.
