    I am afraid it’s a bit too late, lot of players already got burnt, and will not return.

    I played again after many months and it was fun with friends and strangers alike, but it takes a long time to find teams on higher difficulties, if you are joining alone

    Turns out the Hungarian company was also just a “middle man”, they are a 1 person operation without a proper office. They subcontracted a Bulgarian firm. Very convoluted story, but I’m sure investigative journalists will figure it out in a few weeks.

    This is the key thing here. People can whine about this attack, but this was targeted and it worked with low collateral damage, which also makes it legal (as in not a war crime).

    The problem is everything else that Israel is doing since Oct 7, causing 1/3 of the Palestinian casualties to be children.

    Exactly. It’s like reading instagram or youtube comments, everybody just shouting 1 liners to a crowded/empty room, with no converstations starting.

    Now compare this to the structured convos on former reddit or current lemmy, and I have no idea why people want to interact another way.

    AI is like having an intern you can delegate to. If you give it a simple enough task with clear direction, it can come up with something useful, but you need to check.

    Lol, fucking AC Mirage, absolutely brutal.

    In Germany, most stores sold out Space Marines 2 and AstroBot on day 1, while they had endless piles of SW Outlaws on the shelves, with only a few missing.

    I know most sales are digital, but we can assume the spread of interest between these products are mostly the same in all formats.

    This game is tanking hard, Ubi will be begging anyone to buy it for 20 by November.

    Who wouldn’t want to pay nearly 1k EUR (incl. stand+disc drive) to play 6 year old PS4 games with slightly better performance?

    Sounds good on paper, but what is the point? The base PS5 is so far from being utilized, that they are still showing upgraded PS4 games (e.g. GoW, GoT, TLOU2, HFW) to promote the PS5 Pro.

    Solid journalist math. According to this logic, if I keep pressing the gas pedal on a 1.0 VW Golf, it will reach the speed of light by 2028. Amazing performance for such a small machine

    A Br*tish person complaining about lunch, that’s rich.

    Maybe try having a proper one, like the rest of Europe, and you will find the answer to all of your complaints.

    Exactly. There are ethical, environmental and health reasons to decrease humanity’s meat consumption. But screaming slurs with religous zealousy burning in your eyes will not win over the majority of the population. If you push people, they push back. Especially on morals, which is the least efficient argument to have a plant based diet - yet it’s the one some vegans like to push the most, as it makes them feel better about themselves.

    I know exactly what vegans know, about eg. dairy industry and the rape of cows. Seen many sickening documentaries, and I believe that in a 100 years we will look back on exploiting/killing animals for dairy/meat as we do now on slavery.

    Still, I eat meat.

    Much less meat than I did years ago, but I have no intention to fully stop, as the alternatives are not yet practical, affordable, or tasty enough for me. If a lot of people decreased their meat consumption, our planet would be much better - how about we take that first step together, instead of insulting each other?

    Managed to grab a PS Portal yesterday, and it's performing better than I expected

    I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday. Key points: -Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins). -So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds. -The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture. -The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to. -The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that. -The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode. -The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.

    Thank you Steve Huffman for curing my reddit addiction!

    I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy. I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction. So thanks Steve! (If it’s not too much to ask, please take a look at how you could improve instagram, you could save another 15 minute of my day)
