  "Monado" has no specific meaning and is just a name.

  As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

  But I do expect we'll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They're still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don't even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

  Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.

  Yeah in my experience it's largely where you go.

  Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.

  There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.

  Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it's one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn't know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.

  I can't wait to play more JSRF. Haven't grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Cancels Japanese Esports Events Following Threats to Staff and Spectators⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.

  The article doesn't clarify where the threats were coming from, and obv it doesn't justify harassing and threatening random employees though.

  I could see them.partnering with phone manufacturers to have it pre-installed like they do with Facebook, TikTok, and all those other apps I have to delete every time I buy a new phone

  You appear to be correct!

  Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I'm hoping to see next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terraria developer bashes Unity, donates $200k to open source alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also their game is literally $10 USD on Steam, compared to all the $70 ones that have been coming out lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume their console export options are due to some kind of agreement with console manufacturers, as they keep their dev agreements under heavy NDAs. I wonder how this will play out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo showed out the Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way

  Confirmed, except how some of these games are out here being 100GB+. But the indie space is where it's at right now anyway.

  Huh TIL
  I thought it was because 4k has 4x the pixel count of 1080p
