Okay, we need to right this ship. Everyone who works on the south end of the office: get to work on optimisation. The rest of you, you’re fired.

God this guy broke ToS while connected to the internet? Can’t MigSwitchs run offline? I thought it was just a cart dump.

If you still have those messages and they prove that he knew you were a minor and pursued you anyway, you have an opportunity to take a civil lawsuit against him. Considering the age difference the value of that case to you may be significant.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
I don’t know if offgassing is the reason the water tastes better when cooled overnight. I would do this with an enclosed bottle (no off-gassing possible) and it would taste equally better.
Definitely cooling it is an improvement, I always thought it tasted different due to how our mouth/taste buds responds to the dropping temperature.

For me it’s 54,000,000,000 then my brain just glosses over the rest of the zeros. You could literally put other random symbols in the later digits number and I won’t see them.

- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 1 week ago:
Indeed. I think the last 6 months have been great value for PC game pass. Of course it goes against the OP/thread sentiment that Xbox is ripping everyone off.
I buy on steam/key resellers at heavy discount most of the time, but game pass allows me to play new release games that are in the “looks interesting, but I’m not dropping full price to try this out” category of games.

There really is an XKCD for everything.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 1 week ago:
I think if you’re playing 1 new release game every month or two, you’re getting the value. I’m enjoying Avowed and Doom the Dark ages recently, but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for Doom.
Xbox has kind of been on a roll lately with the games they’ve added.

But it’s okay for Goldman Sachs to replace workers with AI? Either it’s a tool that they are happy working with and incorporating into their business, or its not.

Regarding BP:
spoiler
Yeah, it feels like rolling credits on blue prince is just the beginning. I think you could have 100 hours in BP.
I feel the same way but will put more time into it if I get it on steam one day
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 1 week ago:
The comment I replied to believed that both the console and the game price is a scam, that is their valid opinion.
They criticised OP for “half caring about the rip off pricing”. OP didn’t think the console had ripoff pricing. Why is that a character flaw of op like is suggested by the commenter?
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 1 week ago:
I played Blue Prince and Clair Obscur back to back on Game pass and I’ve got to say that these were two of the best games I’ve ever played in their respective genre. Makes me want to go back and try Myst/Riven.

Didn’t realise that consoles were sports teams that you were either in the club or out of it. OP is allowed to have a nuanced take.

The new Asus Xbox would be really cool if they got quick resume working. That would then be a really decent Game pass + windows handheld machine. I can’t see myself moving away from my steam deck OLED for a while, quickly resume is the killer feature.
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 2 weeks ago:
I’m an Australian so I’m not 100% sure on what you’re paying for other consoles at the moment, but the switch 2 hardware is cheaper than the base disc PS5 slim and Xbox series X over here. Don’t even get me started on PC hardware.
Xbox raising their prices to $80 isn’t a good sign. Sony increased the price of the PS5 over here recently even though it won’t be subject to any tariffs, to subsidise their losses in the US.
All that is to say that Nintendo aren’t being so anti-competitive relative to the industry that I think they’re going to be forced to drop prices
- Comment on The Switch 2: Is it worth buying? 2 weeks ago:
I think the average PC gamer on Lemmy isn’t going to see the value in the Switch 2. I think for people that want things to just work the switch is a great console.
The Switch 2 is getting a little greedy with paid upgrades to switch 2 performance for switch 1 games, and that goes against the “just works” ethos.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 2 weeks ago:
If they can’t do that then this thing is kind of DOA. I’ve just assumed for some reason that this is what they’re doing.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 2 weeks ago:
LTT describes that the XBOX team have also trimmed down 2GB of W11 desktop bloat with this and have attempted to make the W11 experience more similar to a console. I’m curious to follow this. I’d imagine Microsoft are a bit intimidated by the fact that SteamOS is a better gaming OS than Windows. Obviously this must have been in the pipeline for a long time now.

Honestly the likeness of John Snow is crazy good here. Not sure if it will be a good RTS, but the timing seems really late considering GoT wrapped up 6 years ago.
