The NVIDIA drivers are a constant source of problems compared to AMD. I’ve had updates completely break some games, so that if I want to play my whole library of games I have to alternate between driver versions.

I am one broken leg away from being homeless and losing everything, and it’s been like that my entire working life. I’ve never been able to make enough to actually save. Currently I have -100 in the bank and some debt I’m trying to pay off on top of that. My rent is literally half my income.

I will never stop recommending Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Madoka Magika.

It’s not “retro gaming” but that doesn’t make emulating switch games a bad thing. I dump and emulate my own switch games off my own switch because they tend to perform better via emulator on a PC. It’s really unfortunate to see Nintendo shut down what ultimately is the best way for us to preserve switch games long-term.

I think you’ll miss out on a lot of great games thinking that way! Sometimes needing to commit time into a game is where a lot of the value comes from in its experience, and persona is one of those series.

Which is really less because of the consoles themselves and more because of the priorities of AAA game studios

Perhaps, we should be more concerned with maintaining and keeping relevant current hardware, over constant production of more powerful hardware just for the sake of doing it. We’ve hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of the value we’re actually being given by each new generation. Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.

Because our government’s support of Israel furthers US financial interests in the Middle East.

Probably depends on the delivery service partner. They have slightly different hours from company to company.

I drive an EV for work, any my biggest gripe is the touchscreen. What is wrong with buttons. Why must everything be hidden behind a menu I have to navigate on a touchscreen. It feels less safe, frankly. In my own car I have muscle memory for each button and can do things like skip songs or adjust the AC without looking away from the road… But in the EV I can’t.

I went to fedi to avoid big corporations and what they’ve done with social media. Why would I want their platform having access to my posts? I don’t trust meta or any of the other big tech companies. In fact, the main mastodon instance I use blocks threads entirely and that’s one of the reasons I joined it.

The meat people eat is produced by killing animals. That’s exactly what is being done, on insane scale. Billions of animals being treated as products.

Are you sure about that?

I don’t get the wrinkles out

I think it’s important to question the idea that the US has “always rejected fanaticism”. Sure, our state doesn’t want to be viewed that way. I just think that looking at our history shows a lot of fanatic shit, from the way settlers treated the native population, to all of our conflicts in the 1900’s to now.

I have a small windows install on a second SSD that I dual boot with. Most of my games work on Linux so I rarely have to boot over.

It’s not even that everybody is going to stop buying games new, but especially given how tight money is for a lot of people right now, pushing the prices further up will force a lot of people to pursue alternatives for all but the releases they care the most about. I think enough people won’t buy more expensive games that these companies will not see the increased profits they expect from raising the prices.

I feel like all that will happen is players will continue to move to non-AAA alternatives, or wait longer periods for discounts, or maybe platforms like game pass where they can just play a lot of the new games right away just by having the sub. $70 alone is already very expensive.
