I’ll legitimately be moving to Linux today. This just broke the camel’s back for me.

I checked my account through the site and they don’t seem to have shit other than my current display name. When did they start collecting this data?

I regularly emulate Switch games on my RoG Ally Z1E, and it pulls it off so fucking well, I haven’t touched my Switch since I got the thing (it easily runs every title I’ve thrown at it at 60fps+higher res, plus I have the ability to mod games if I need to.)

I can’t imagine it’ll be too difficult for them to emulate Switch 2 games, assuming Nintendo don’t catch on to emulation developers too early.

I thought you were exaggerating, but after checking it out, it really does feel like a mid-late 00’s website, and goddamn do I fucking miss it. Everything online these days is flat, overly-simplified, absolutely corporate and sanitized to fuck and back. I feel like, on an atomic level, I’m closer to a frown than a neutral expression when browsing most of the internet these days.

Also Subnautica itself fucking rules, good to see their website has just as much effort put into it.

1980’s.

It couldn’t possibly be the fact that the game is just mid as all fuck, and people are far enough past the honeymoon phase that they’re finally having to accept it.

Believe me, the world is better off not seeing me in a short skirt and thigh highs.

I like girls. I like how they look, I like the way they sound, I LOVE their fashion options. It isn’t really any deeper than that. That said, I’ll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

EDIT: I guess if I had to further expand on this, I’d say that female characters give me a way to explore options I don’t have as a tall, bearded, broad, ‘built’ man. I’ve always loved cuteness, hyperfeminine fashion, “girly stuff”, and so in addition to just really, really liking girls, video games allow me to explore the cute, feminine avenues I can’t in the real world.

Also, as another commenter stated, I’d also just rather look at a girl’s ass than a guy’s for the entirety of a playthrough lmao

I love the passionate anger.

As someone who uses GrapheneOS but knows very little about the technical side of things, what implications does this have for the OS? I’ll actually just not use a smartphone anymore if I’m going to be forced back onto the privacy nightmare that is stock Android.

Yeah, agreed. This is a very spicy take, but Mario Kart 64 also disappointed me after going back to it as an adult. It just… doesn’t play well compared to the newer titles, especially with how good the gameplay in 8 is. It was amazing for its time, but things have absolutely improved since then.

Enjoyable exploration at the very least. It’s the one thing Bethesda has always excelled at, but I knew Starfield was going to be a massive disappointment full of copy+pasted POI’s as soon as they mentioned “1000 planets” and procedural generation. So not only does Starfield fall flat on its face in the story and wooden dialogue departments (imo, all their games suffer here), it isn’t even able to save itself with the kind of immersive and rewarding exploration experience you’d have expected Bethesda to at least provide as they did with their previous games by merit of a handcrafted, curated map.

I’m glad the honeymoon period is over with this game and people are finally seeing it for the half baked, outdated, and bland exercise in mediocrity that it actually is.

I dream of a world that again exists without big tech, but you know, it’s a dream.

Yep. Pixel, GrapheneOS, be harsh and restrictive with permissions, and intuitive with the apps you install. Simplify your digital life - it’s much easier and less of a hindrance than you’d think.

Holy shit, three replies in and someone is already grandstanding as some anti-racist hero by bringing up the crack epidemic.

These are actually pretty cute, but again with the fucking app and online connection. I’d never have one of these in my house, let alone give one to my kids to play with unless I’ve disabled any network connectivity (but the simplest solution would be to just not buy one.)
