- Comment on Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun! 1 day ago:
Wasnt the autumn sale just 2 weeks ago?
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 3 days ago:
But not shipping. And sometimes, that’s the difference.
- Comment on We tested the Nvidia App performance problems — games can run up to 15 percent slower with the app 5 days ago:
Sounds like something adjusted something in the nvidia control panel and the monitor is balancing that out with a low red value.
Maybe worth to take a look. - Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. 1 week ago:
Not like there is a good way of measuring transportation and shipping fees if you arent an insider that knows how much it actually costs.
I usually expect to pay between 15-20€ if I buy <2-3kg items from the US/CA and some for stuff like JP and CN - Comment on This spoon. 1 week ago:
Looked a bit something like this but in stainless steel:

I saw this spoon in Sri Lanka. Seemed like they have no other spoon shape and it was offered with meals like oat porridge and sago porridge.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Tbh at least UE is doing incredible work
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Well this may be a just-you-and-someothers problem the general audience (on lemmy at least) disagrees.
I am fine if devs sell on epic but not if it’s arbitrary exclusivity.
I have bought on EA and uPlay but I would never consider them again if they pay (for example) Take2 if they would exclusive sell GTA6 on the EA store. - Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Tbh any stake is too much and I’ll try to reduce it if poasible (e.g. pihole for tracking urls).
Rather I would prefer to own stake in tencent :p At least I get paid dividends. - Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Steam does provide good general dev services
GOG preserves games and let’s you own game files without pesky DRM
What does Epic do besides developing UE5 and harrassing the PC platform witg exclusivity deals?Other dev-specific platforms like EA amd Uplay get a pass because they publish only their own games.

The videos mark rober does and did this year also rubbed me in the same wrong way…

*American?
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Keep that in your hand or bring a small bag to keep it inside.
I wouldnt use a styrofoam cup anyway. Usually my thermos or drinking bottle - Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 3 weeks ago:
Luckily I started to only buy games after comparing on isthereanydeal.
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Keep it in your pocket. Not really hard tbh.
Of course other humans are trashy :/ - Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 3 weeks ago:
Assuming it has no copyright or license
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 3 weeks ago:
If you can please look if its archived already and if not upload it to archive.org
Assuming it has no copyright/licemse because it’s a fan fictiom it should be alright. - Comment on Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account 4 weeks ago:
This was an example for someone that couldnt care less about twitter and social media politics.

Let’s hope it dies quickly
- Comment on Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account 4 weeks ago:
I never tried it. My only contact with the fediverse was through Lemmy.
When I became aware of lemmy it was first through the piracy subreddit doing the exodus and the head mod db0 mentioning the new piracy community. I wasnt aware of instances at the time and signed up on lemmy.ml because that was the first thing that popped up.
Later I realized I didnt want to be a part of ml and switched to my current instance.Same goes for matrix. Signed up on element and now I dunno if I wanna stay there or leave. No special reason to do either.
Last time I heard about Mastodon it also doesnt inform about instances.
First google on mastodon leads me to mastodon.social.
A few links later (Info about an animal called mastodon, mastodon.social, google news widget, google info page widget and a “people also ask” section) I get to the joinmastodon.org page and first leads me to mastodon.social and a server selector.
My grandmother would be overwhelmed, my mother would ask me if the site is safe (I warned her to be wary about domains switching) and I assume other more tech iliterate would be just joining mastodon.social totally defeating the use case of deferedation. - Comment on Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account 4 weeks ago:
The usual suspects couldnt care less. The more convenient it is the better. No matter how bad the future wil be.
- Comment on Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account 4 weeks ago:
Cool. Now give me an argument why my mother would care about this fact.
- Comment on Valve has created a Steam Bluesky account 4 weeks ago:
Maybe for the tech bubble.Most normies I know know that reddit exists but peimarily scroll on insta.
- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 4 weeks ago:
There is some important ounce of knowledge there.
Let’s say a majority. - Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on "EU-Linux:" Petition calls for the implementation of an EU-Linux operating system in public administrations across all EU countries 1 month ago:
They are already interconnect at various points.
Schools are connected to university networks, university networks to loval government intranets and those are again probably at some point connected to the federal network.
I don’t wanna guess where else they have connections to like the police or legislative network. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I started by putting a good amount of money in first with the goal to the the average later on.
I mean what should you do with spare 15k other then investing it somewhere.
Yes, yes you could diversify… - Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund 1 month ago:
To me NoMansSky feels like singleplayer Minecraft but with planets and tasks/missions.
So if you arent fond of that, I’m afraid it’s not for you. You can play witg randoms but I would say this isnt the norm. - Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 month ago:
Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.
How will you handle competitive matchmaking? I agree for casual matchmaking though
A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking
Maybe moderm in relative termy but notnreally. One of the articles I could find on the quick is from 4 years ago: ign.com/…/cod-warzone-cheaters-are-being-matched-…
- Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] 2 months ago:
I think a huge reason for this is how fragmented the linux ecosystem is.
A hundred ways to do simple things and even mundane things are suggested as “You can’t do X with tool X easily. Just install package Y instead because it can also do it”
But now you have another program installed.
Also some parts of linux have much drama around it (www.phoronix.com/news/Bcachefs-Fixes-Two-Choices). This adds uncertainty.
