- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 5 days ago:
Some games, some are on cart too. Switch 1 is actually probably the best because just about every game is fully playable unlike ps and Xbox which require patches often to run alright. Switch 2 I hear cyberpunk is fully on the cart, but I doubt many publishers are willing to pay for the bigger carts, so we’ll probably see a lot of third parties be just the key, which is ridiculous.

It’s great, I can lend my friend the games he doesn’t have, and I can do the same with his games. In this way, we can play many more games than we have the money for.
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 5 days ago:
Same, and now this is the second mention of it I’ve seen on lemmy in two weeks. I got it for like $5 in a combo pack with a terrible mech game in the bargain bin in Walmart probably 20+ years ago. Never beat it, but the vibes are top notch and I replay it every few years. Still have the disks and all.

There’s these things called consoles, that let you put a disk in, they both contains the game and a license to play it.

Hades IIs character is a girl, and it’s very fun.
- Comment on Company agrees to 4-day week at full pay—worker reveals dramatic result 2 weeks ago:
My job does 4.5 days at full pay during summer, and it is so goddamn liberating. I actually have time to do things, I have more energy because I can take extra time to rest after completing my weekend tasks, I can get into doctors without missing work and having to make it up later. Genuinely, fighting for 4 day week, 8 hour days, and full 40 hour pay should be higher on the labor movements priority list, like it was when we won the 40 hour week in the first place.
- Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets 4 weeks ago:
It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 4 weeks ago:
No way, it’s only 10 hours? Eternal was longer than that, and so was 2016!
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 4 weeks ago:
Can’t say for certain because I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard of a concept called promissory estoppel that might apply in situations like this.
- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 1 month ago:
A dockworker driving their machine remotely using low latency tech like they’re using in remote surgeries could very well be more productive remote, but we won’t know until we try.

Many of the people who would have been criminalized for minor things like smoking cannabis to cope with the horrific work culture and thus are ineligible for work visas to most of the world. Many of those with the resources to do so have bought into the system and don’t know what the rest of the world is like, and there’s another group who just think the US is swell and everyone else is jealous of us and trying to come here.

It’s not, really. It would be easy to implement at any company that makes a decent profit margin. Productivity goes up with shorter working hours, anyway.
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 1 month ago:
Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel. The new panel did the same thing though, and at that point I just sold it and bought an OLED.
- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 2 months ago:
Perhaps it’s more that the extremist rhetoric of the opposition that denigrated them and elevated war criminals wasn’t the best way to motivate the masses of impoverished and disillusioned people to vote for them.
- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 2 months ago:
Less than a third voted for him, too. Millions are disenfranchised and millions more recognize that there is no correlation between desires and outcomes when it comes to voting.
- Comment on Fear of job loss hits its highest point in years—but workers won’t accept less than $81,000 5 months ago:
That means 21% can’t read. Not to mention that 50% read at below a 6th grade level.

- Comment on American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it? 9 months ago:
I was driving this weekend, a truck turned onto the road ahead of me, stayed stopped in the right hand land until I got near to them, then slammed on the gas spewing a massive cloud of filth that entirely enveloped my car. Thankfully my wife and I noticed it beforehand and rolled our windows up.
- Comment on This is What Prime Air Drone Delivery Looks Like - Core77 11 months ago:
Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.
- Comment on This is What Prime Air Drone Delivery Looks Like - Core77 11 months ago:
I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.
- Comment on Me to myself everyday. 1 year ago:
Naps. I sleep like 6-8 hours a night usually, and then I take a nap basically as soon as I get home. I find I have more functional time this way, even when I end up sleeping more than 9-10 hours, because I’m more refreshed and ready to go.
- Comment on Private Equity Firm Bought My Employer 1 year ago:
Private equity will suck as much money out of the company as they can until it starts to fail and then they’ll sell it. Firing employees and making others do their work for no extra pay, if you have patents they’ll sell those, close facilities and force everyone into smaller spaces… literally nothing is off limits. Idk how much is publicly available, but if it is you can look at Avaya for an example. Went from being literally the biggest supplier of phones in the world with the majority of patents on applications for telecom technology to going bankrupt and having to restructure. They’re now on a single floor in a shitty building and most work has been outsourced.
- Comment on Okay this is getting a bit real now Duo, thanks 💔 1 year ago:
Just mandarin. There’s not many resources for Cantonese that I found when searching. You’re likely best off hiring a tutor.
- Comment on Okay this is getting a bit real now Duo, thanks 💔 1 year ago:
I second that for Chinese. Use HelloChinese.
- Comment on Why is there no sound? 1 year ago:
I still don’t know how it happened, but my oldest little brother and I had this pair of walkie-talkies that would pick up this adult dudes phone conversations regularly on a specific channel, and we would troll him so hard. I kinda feel bad now, but not really because it’s a great memory.
- Comment on Just catching up now, but apparently this is the source material for most Generation A cultural milieu. 1 year ago:
My little Gen A brother calls his friends who watch it “super brainrot”. I like to tease him by calling things skibidi sometimes because I’m finally old enough to be the one getting the eye roll for using slang incorrectly and it’s truly hilarious.
- Comment on Slack users horrified to discover messages used for AI training 1 year ago:
It’s not no matter what. It’s under the system we have they are not only not punished for doing so, they are heavily incentivized to do so. There are ways to punish bad actors that de-incentivize other potential bad actors, our politicians actively choose to prioritize these bad actors ability to do harm over the well being of the population.
- Comment on ‘Mad Max’: The feud between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy that George Miller wanted to avoid between the stars of ‘Furiosa’ 1 year ago:
So the feud was that Tom Hardy is a diva removed and Theron is a professional and didn’t accept him being a tool and wasting everyone else’s time and money. Sounds like he deserved every minute of what he got and then some.
- Comment on Gabe Newell, the Man Behind Steam, Is Working on a Brain-Computer Interface 1 year ago:
This is rather old news, predating Neuralink entirely even. There used to be an unlisted YouTube video by Gray(Grey?) Newell that showed off what they were working on back a few years ago, too.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 year ago:
For 3D games:\
- Xbox Series X controller with added ExtremeRate back paddle kit.
For PC games:\
- og Steam controller
Most of the time I use the Dualsense Edge though, because I rarely use controller on pc and almost never turn on my Xbox.
