- Comment on Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This Generation 1 week ago:
While moving to the current generation, I did give Xbox Series X an honest consideration. But the games catalogue made me choose PS5 over it once again.
In hindsight, especially after owning a Steam Deck, I am glad I stuck with PlayStation.
Its almost as bad as playing on the wrong invert y setting.
Yikes! Never thought about controller layouts in this way.

I have never used Xbox controllers so I can’t speak for their ergonomics or ease of use.
But I definitely find the DualSense controller to be more aesthetically appealing, partly due to its symmetry, and I have to admit that it was the second most important factor when purchasing PS4 Pro a decade ago.
The first most important factor being the games catalogue.

Every time I read any Xbox news, I immediately remember the email that Phil Spencer sent to Satya Nadella when PS5 was announced. The email gets funnier as the days go by, and as additional context gets added in the form of news like the OP.
Inserting the part of the email thread that I like the most below:
Even as I type this I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself.
We’ve all lived with 7 years of starting off a generation with a price and performance (and messaging)disadvantage to PS4 with Xbox One. I have to admit this morning when I woke up knowing the PS5 reveal was today that the stress level was higher than normal. Now after almost 12 hours of soaking in their unveil, taking apart their specs and looking at the community responses I just wanted to say that I’m proud of our team.
We have a better product than Sony does, not just on hardware but equally important on the software platform and services on top of the hardware. We have the ingredients of a winning plan. I felt the feedback from the BoD discussion on being too confident and maybe this will just reinforce that perception, I get the need to be humbly confident but today was a good day for us.
We haven’t won anything. And I know we have hard discussion about pricing, P&L, investments etc. This mail isn’t trying to scoop any of that, those discussions really matter. But we can take confidence in our product truth hereand I do believe any conversation needs to start with believing in that. This was a good day for Xbox.
Thanks for indulging me.
Phil

I am more curious about what it actually is.
OP, can you share the real context around the image?

I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it. For me, it was the shrieking frog at the bottom.

Ah! I stand corrected on the title. Thank you.

A textbook would lose most of its credibility in my opinion with a title like “____ 4 ____”.
The fact that it contains such wonderful takes on electricity is just icing on the cake.

What a lovely coincidence.

Fascinating. But isn’t this akin to stripes on a tiger or zebra, just visibly in a different electromagnetic spectrum?
Whereas bioluminescence involves producing/emitting of light like fireflies.

- Comment on I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game 5 weeks ago:
I had to read more than once to realise it is not a game about WinRar.
Having said that, all the best with the development, and may the game find love and success. :-)

I don’t know how you arrived at this based on what @TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca was saying.
Connection strength is a network/infrastructure problem while what was being said in the original comment is an application/usage one.
The other part of your statement can be solved using a search engine which restricts itself to just searches and not distract itself with ads and AI. But evidently such a product is hard to build in today’s world.

A perfect origin story of a villain.
Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.

Oh. I only feel enlightened about anus.
I am clueless as to what it is doing in a medieval combat manual.
The most I can rationalise is that the author had a bout of frustration, and the manual was the only outlet for their thoughts.

Thank you for enlightening me.

I zoomed in on the picture, and the first thing I see is the word “anus”.
I could be misreading it, but what other letter could it possibly be.

This could just be the specific pockets of interest you frequent or whatever the algorithms deem worthy (after all, memes have more engagement).
I have always seen memes and compliments over the past two decades or so. Of course, the memes were more widespread, while the compliments remained where discussions took place.

Going by the teaser, it looks like a cape pull.
- Comment on Superman | Official Teaser Trailer 7 months ago:
Sharing my comment[0] from !dcstudios@lemmy.world:
I loved the teaser, but the thought that kept running through my head was that, aside from the style, colour palette, and a more varied supporting cast, this iteration feels very similar to the previous one: We still have a serious, bruised Superman enduring the public’s ire.
I find it ironic, given that the main critique of the character over the past decade was precisely this portrayal.
Perhaps the full trailer will distinguish the themes better.
Either way, I look forward to the movie.

The comments here are really reinforcing the stereotypes about Lemmy.
- Comment on Crimson Desert: Official Hexe Marie Boss Fight Gameplay 8 months ago:
Last I heard about this game was at the Game Awards a few years back. Nice to see the game development chugging along.
The gameplay in the boss fight video looks too cluttered, IMO. But there is enough time for the devs to tweak it or add options to reduce some of the on-screen elements.

Voyager is indeed a really good app for Lemmy. It is based on Apollo app which was the best, and IMO, the only sensible way to browse Reddit on iOS.
I am glad @aeharding@vger.social had a working version ready merely days after the new TOS came into effect.
I have been using it since it was called Wefwef (which I still feel was a better name, more playful), and I liked it so much that I use it on my Android phone as well as my iOS daily driver.
