Looks cool! :)

It’s a reference to crazy stuff MAGA nutters have said (specifically Muppety Taylor Greene 🤢)

Agreed! More creepy eyes for the surveillance state

“Hey there, Jeff” (0.0) that bit had me stuck for a month until I decided to push through it!

No problem! :) If you do opt to try making something yourself I’m sure the folks here at Lemmy would be more than happy to check it out and give you some feedback!

Maybe it’s time you made your own project (if you’re up to it) :) time to serve that quality bisque in a bowl deserving of it lol besides, things will never change if we stay the route with Jack Welch-esque CEOs running the show; we need more indie devs, more small businesses, people who want to make something great because they’re passionate, or even just folks who want a sustainable future without strangling ourselves with the noose of “line must go up” mentality.

But also that’s a metric ton of work, and owning a project like that is certainly a risk to take!

This! Consoles are losing to handhelds like the Steam Deck in terms of capability and price. This keeps up, and we might see more switch over!

Good on you for looking for an ethically sound option! Can’t speak to their manufacturing, but Valve has the Steam Deck you can get cheap, runs Linux in desktop mode (still handeld, just called that to differentiate from SteamOS). Works rather well! And Valve is nowhere near perfect, but they’re much less of an ethical quagmire than some other producers.

One hundred percent this! While what’s happening in Gaza is beyond deplorable, voting third party only serves to shoot these folks in the foot. Not only would Trump promote actual pogroms to kill off the Gazan population en masse (even worse than the current level of violence), but they’ll find themselves the first up against the wall along with LGBTQ+ folks at home if Project 2025 is allowed to proceed.

You could call it shooting oneself in the foot or cutting off their nose to spite their face, but it’s more like voluntarily slitting their own throat and smiling about it because at least they made the floor messy for everyone in the process.

Great game :)

Excellent read, albeit sobering

Rightfully worried IMO

There was an episode with The Monkey’s Paw, that one always stuck with me!

I don’t know if it’s 60 FPS, but just this Sunday I was helldiving on Meridia with a full party of 4 doing dark fluid runs on 9 and I didn’t have any lag or issues playing. And I play docked with the resolution set to 1920x1080 so it’s certainly more aggressive on the hardware than in handheld mode at 1280x800. All this is to say it feels smooth and lag free (I unfortunately just haven’t bothered scoping out FPS; too worried about the Charger that’s aiming to slap me under one of those bile titans 😅)

It’s a grand time, runs surprisingly well! :)

True that! It’s ironic how they think they’re the “Lord’s Army”, when if we used their own obsession with Revelations as a comparison they’re clearly the false christians worshiping their false prophet that’s preaching the prosperity gospel, and following their anti-christ leader Trump.

Now they’re just waiting for their Third Temple so Jesus can reappear, completely oblivious to the fact that if they ever got their deluded wish they’d immediately just try to lynch him for being a “woke” liberal. Or that he’s supposedly supposed to come back “like a lion” instead of “like a lamb”, which I take to mean he theoretically wouldn’t be as gentle the second time as he was his first time around. And they’re specifically blaspheming in his name. It’s just dumb at every level, even if you do believe in the Bible’s teachings literally.

Seems to be the Year of Nintendo Burning Bridges. Upside is, maybe all the competition they’re finally getting in both the handheld space and in some of their big software franchises will force them to try to produce better content and hardware. Or it’ll be Nintendo and they’ll stay greedy in their walled garden with inferior products; at the very least we’ll have some superior alternatives to enjoy elsewhere!

Agreed! Giving up is giving in to oligarchs who have profited relentlessly off of our suffering and the defiling of our home. Stand up! It’s better to die on your feet fighting than on your knees, groveling to the rich while they pickpocket your dying corpse.

Climate apocalypse is here for us all. Wanton apathy and inaction leads only to guaranteed failure!

Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.

At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!

Well, looks like I won’t be playing Subnautica 2 lol
