I just Bezos wasn’t invested in the company. I’d hate to give that fucker any more money if I can help it.

Had the dumbshit U.S. president not shit out a bunch of tariffs along with every AI company buying up future stock of computer parts, I really don’t think Sony would have increased the price of these consoles.

They know it’s a bad look to do so. Microsoft also had to raise prices on their consoles last year.

Windows 10 kept throwing up full screen ads for whatever bullshit they were trying to get me to sign up for while also telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Windows 11.

And that’s how I ended up with Mint on my desktop and laptop a couple months ago.

I have to use Windows for work, but my personal machines are Linux and macOS at this point, and I have zero intention of buying another windows license.

Exactly.

No one needs to worship Steam. Gabe will never let you on one of his 50 yachts.

Deport those ungrateful native Americans back to…America???

I can see why they are upset, she’s out of focus there on the left.

So, Apple and other companies that charge 30% to host apps: BAD

Steam changes 30% to host games: GOOD

I’m not saying this is your argument, necessarily, but it’s funny to hear that “30% is good actually!” in the tech space because the last few years it’s been “Apple and others who charge 30% are taking too much! All they do is host and manage the traffic for apps!”

And I’m not trying to say Apple is good or anything. It’s just funny.

We call those nipples “a set of Sarah Huckabees.”

For sure!

It’s also my favorite. Just a great film.

Moana

The first one, not the second - it’s not a great movie.

But even about ten years on, I still think Moana is the best looking film Disney’s done, and it looks nuts on a 4K OLED.

The whole thing looks great, but there are about three scenes I remember as standing out:

But, really, the whole film looks awesome.

My thought is that I didn’t know he was in the movie because I’ve been avoiding trying to see stuff about it since half the fun is finding out fun easter eggs while watching.

But scrolling Lemmy spoiled that, so that’s fun.

You talkin’ 'bout Blewskee?

The snowflakes were the fascists we made along the way.

Yep. Just don’t connect it. Or connect it once a year to get some firmware updates if one wants (or better yet use a USB stick).

I have a good Samsung TV, but when I had it connected to the internet the UI would be painfully slow every time I needed to switch inputs (I have most things running through my receiver, but my PC was straight into the TV). Turning off all internet functions vastly improved my experience with this TV.

For sure. I honestly only needed Nintendo to make it more powerful and have a better screen, and they did that PLUS make the joycons feel better along with all the little things like you said.

I mean, PCs have been EXACTLY THE SAME since PC gaming has existed. The differences are “better graphics over time.” That’s it. That’s all people care about. You still use a mouse and keyboard or controller. Nothing has changed in decades. Yet no one bitches there’s no innovation in that space. Maybe VR is a new thing, but it’s not what people care about on the whole, let’s be honest.

Yeah I agree. I never had the OLED switch so literally every facet of the Switch 2 is better.

I think this might be the first time since the transition from the NES to SNES where the difference between consoles is just “it’s more powerful.” (And more comfortable.) Though the controller got an upgrade. The same could be said maybe for the transition from N64 to GCN, though I’d argue the controller and media changed a lot - but it was still “Games are prettier now” when you boil it down.

I guess where I’m going is that it seems like everyone wants some BIG HOOK to try and understand why the Switch 2 exists when it exists because the Switch 1 is now 9 years old and runs on a processor that’s like 11 years old. People seem to expect Nintendo HAS TO do some whacky gimmick (that a lot of them will hate anyway) when they really don’t. It’s ok to just put out better hardware — that’s literally been how Sony and MS have operated for the last 25-30 years. Sony and MS have barely changed their controllers during this time (they have been refined for sure but the same layout for Sony since day 1) so the main draw has always been “it’s faster and prettier now.”

“I’M FILLED WITH CHRIST’S LOVE!!”

“Why didn’t you tell me about pearl harbor? I was -5 years old at the time”

I love this game. Spent enough time with it to get the Platinum. I still listen to the soundtrack, and a couple of tracks get me teared up because they are really beautiful and remind me of events in the game and how they made me feel.

Definitely my GOTY from 2025 over some of the other games that were nominated.
