Woah, I don't want to post for that beefy of a GPU. (I am joking, if that is not clear)
Really, most games I am interested in are JRPGs, adventure games, 2D platformers, top-down action games, and other genres that work fine with rather simple graphics. A game does not need pretty visuals to be fun.
I recognize that I am in the minority and most people want 3-D graphics in their games.
Do they? I thought they replace stick drift joycons for free. I guess it depends on how many people take advantage of that vs. buying a new set of controllers.
It would be a nice gesture, but I will believe those promises of support when they have teeth to them.
What happens if they stop doing it? Do I have to sue them for breach of contract, have to prove actual damages, and settle the class action lawsuit for $5 in store credit?
What happens if the company goes bankrupt or creates a new subsidiary to service the product and the subsidiary folds?
What level of support are they obligated to provide? What issues must be fixed and how promptly?
He wanted his kids to have a genuine VHS experience, but that was needlessly cruel.
- If you stop the movie instead of pausing it, the player will take the tape off the read head and you can rewind faster.
- You always fast forward through the previews (and only switch to regular speed if there is a trailer that everyone really wants to see).
- The film likely had closed captioning, you just have to turn it on in the settings.
- The fact that the movie started from the middle shows that the parents are the type of inconsiderate asshole who does not rewind movies after watching.
The National Labor Relations Board recently ruled that Amazon was illegally blocking delivery workers from unionizing. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/08/labor-board-confirms-amazon-drivers-are-employees-in-finding-hailed-by-union/
How does it stack up to other fitness games like Ring Fit?
In regards to SSX, after the success of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remake, I am surprised that EA did not counter with a remake of SSX Tricky. I love how accessible the SSX controls are while still offering plenty of depth for people who want to optimize their runs. It is too bad that EA Sports seems to be focused on simulationist sports games (and live services).
I would assume some of that is acqui-hiring. Google acquires a company and looks at which employees are the outstanding talent. The best employees are poached for projects Google cares about while the rest are left to keep the product going without the thought leaders who built it.
I thought that the uproar about horse armor was that it was the first pay-to-win DLC. The armor was not just cosmetic but actually provided a stat boost to your horse. The accusation was that the developers had made it too easy for enemies to kill your horse and decided to patch the game to fix it but made players pay for the patch.
Don't try to have a good diet and workout routine, try to regularly improve your diet and workout routine.
The best workout routine is the one you can stick to. Plenty of people online will tell you that to lose weight you need to be doing cardio in a certain heart rate zone or to gain muscle you need to weight lift a certain way. That is technically true, but useless. A great workout routine is just walking for half an hour each day. It is a much more realistic goal for out of shape people and simply getting your heat pumping and your muscles moving regularly will get you most of the health benefits you need.
Same thing with diet. A keto or intermittent fasting diet may be the fastest way to burn fat, but they are very hard to stick to and when you break them, you will be so hungry that you will eat enough to gain back all the weight you lost. A more realistic plan is to cut out a sugary beverage from each day and to make sure that every meal includes a vegetable high in fiber. Once that is an established habit, build on it with other small changes that move you closer to a healthy lifestyle.
During the pandemic, I rebuilt my computer but with GPU prices being insanely inflated, I decided to limp along with my old GPU (a GeForce GTX 760). The issue is that I have a 4k monitor and my current card can barely handle my desktop, never mind a game.
I have heard that prices are coming back down to a sane level, so I am looking for part suggestions. I am not looking to play new games or ultra high settings, but I would want to at least be able to handle older/indie games, on medium settings, at a steady 30 FPS.

What parts of the (former) communist world have fruit trees? Around Odessa, you can probably live off of fruit taken from people's yards. In St. Petersburg, there are also abundant fruit trees, in the sense that acorns are the fruit of an oak tree.
If you are ultra rich or ultra poor, the Soviet system is better. If you are lower, middle, or upper working class, the US system is better.

If WB really wanted to tank their game division, they would do what they did with movies and start cancelling almost finished projects for a tax write off
I feel like there is some context to this meme that I am missing.
I would go a step further and say that it should not be a stock purchase but partial nationalization. The government is not getting shares that will be sold later. The government is getting a right to appoint part of the board of directors. Every time the company issues a dividend, buys back stock, or engages in other activities to return value back to the shareholders, a proportional amount of money must be paid to the treasury. It only makes sense that if a company is so big that its failure is going to hurt society as a whole, it should be owned by society.
The core issue with dressage is that they are putting the medal on the wrong neck. The horse is doing all of the work, they deserve all of the credit. Yes, being a dressage rider is (probably) hard work, but so is being a jokey or a wrestling coach. Also, all animal training facilities should automatically be on animal cruelty watch lists and subject to random inspections.
I like that the charger doubles as a controller grip, since I only have the one the console came with but have a second set of Joycons. I am curious if it is comfortable to use.
What do you mean? Are you worried that it will be a portable or a plugin only console? Having this charger suggests that their next system will be a TV connected console (since a portable is mostly going to constantly be charging its controllers), but it doesn't have to be exclusive.
Hopefully he can recover well.
Even if your presidential vote does not matter, you also vote for down ballot candidates. They are the ones that have the biggest influence on your life. Your state senator can write laws to protect you or harm you. Your town's sheriff gets to decide if your local police officer should be fired and who should be hired instead.
I am looking for a note talking app to keep work notes in. My requirements are:
- Allow hierarchical organization of notes (like project1, project1/build, project1/configure) and easy to navigate to different notes.
- Allow basic formatting (heading, code block).
- Run locally
- (Optionally) Have a table of contents for quick navigation
Obsidian looked promising and had the additional benefit of storing notes in Markdown format for easy export. Unfortunately, I would need to buy a commercial license in order to store work-related information.
New Joy-con buttons, 1080p screen also feature in MobaPad's "first-hand information."

MobaPad is a Switch controller and game case maker (that I have never heard of), so they should have reliable info. They said that:
- The Switch 2 will have physical cartridges and the slot will also be able to accept Switch 1 games.
- There will be a new button on the back of each Joy-Con, behind the triggers.
- There will be a new button on the right Joy-Con, by the Home button.
Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).
The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.
I've been thinking about Gunpei Yokoi a lot lately. Before his tragic death in 1997, Yokoi was a game designer at Nintendo — one of the first, in fact. For them, he created the Game & Watch, the Virtual Boy, and the original Game Boy; over in games, he produced games like

TL;DR: The author asserts that Nintendo is able to be so creative because they retain employees long term rather than hiring and firing like other game developers.
Some excerpts that I found interesting:
> All of the designers of the original Super Mario Bros. on the original Nintendo Entertainment System are credited designers on Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
> Back in 2013, the late Satoru Iwata — the former president of Nintendo — said this at a shareholder meeting: > > "If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world."
Has anyone ever shopped at the online store Gate Play? I have never heard of them.
I saw an out of print expansion being sold below MSRP and wanted to see if anyone knew if the site was a scam. I am going to pay by credit card and read the terms of service, but don't want to have to bother with charge backs if I am not their first victim.
Share your gift ideas, because I am a bit stumped.
Are there any Lemmy clients that allow me to quick change accounts and return back to the last community or post that I was looking at? Ideally, one that has an Android app version.
This matters to me because whenever I see any discussion of instances degenerating or having uptime issues, the go to answer is to create accounts on several servers. It is also good to allow me to have several distinct "identies" (for example a professional one, a hobby one, a local one).
