You can just visit a different community, but it won’t help. Lion King Linux memes will follow you to the ends of the earth.

That is BSD. You can go there. Cool people. Hardware support is a bit spottier though.

Documentation has gotten worse too. Veronica Explains discussed this issue in one of their videos. If you look at some good examples of documentation like the Commodore 64 manual, it explains concepts to an audience unfamiliar with computers in a way that’s easy to understand. Lots of modern software doesn’t have docs like this anymore. Then, on top of that, you have the condescending users in help forums.

Is Wayland better for gaming than X?

lol yes. I did it a few times before I realized that it’s not a good way to get weapons. Only lost a few bucks.

Edit: Should clarify, my parents bought them.

Hahaha this takes me back. My first purchases in 2011 were a few TF2 weapons. I got my account a short time after it went F2P.

Redux and last light were great. Awesome short ish stories that capture a unique vibe. The shooting is really good too. I still have yet to try Exodus due to issues running the game. but maybe I’ll try again.

Uninstall Call of Duty.

It might be good. It’s just kind of insulting to use the Marathon IP for this. Still, I’m happy for anyone who ends up liking it.

For a meme community, is it really worth drawing the line at BSD? It’s in the same spirit. Tomato potato.

I reserve my right to complain.

I am surprised that they didn’t just do away with it entirely. I don’t think it would have hurt their bottom line. This is somehow worse IMO. They’ll charge you more money for physical media that doesn’t even have the entire game on it. It’s like they want people to know that they’re being slapped in the face.

I am genuinely surprised that they’re suggesting physical games that act as keys for digital downloads. What is the point of getting a physical cartridge if you can’t play the whole game offline? I guess they’re just trying to kill physical media, and this is the first step in this direction.

They are the only real family oriented console AFAIK. At least on PC, there isn’t a huge emphasis on local coop. This makes a steam deck a harder sell to people just looking for the casual family games. Nintendo on the other hand is committed to releasing games like this with every generation, and they don’t seem big on games with a restrictive age rating. I’m sure that wins points with parents.

I’d love to tell families that they should just buy a steam deck, but I don’t know if it’s the right choice TBH.

Does it make sense? Emulation is going to happen one way or another. If Nintendo sold a GC controller that is PC compatible, they’d at least make some money from those buyers.

I guess they don’t want your money if you’re not buying the switch. Strange move, but I guess it’s their prerogative to alienate more consumers.

Yeah this is a reasonable take. GIMP has its core set of users, and, even though I could be wrong about this, I suspect that they like the UI as it is. They’re not beholden to making the most generalized image editing software for Linux.

When I saw the trailer, I thought Nintendo had pulled the craziest power move. Now I’m less disappointed since I probably won’t have much interest in this anyways. I probably will watch some streamers play it for sure.

One thing I can believe is that AAA games have gotten really expensive to make, so it’s not surprising that companies have broken that sort of soft $60 limit that we had for a while. I’m not even against paying more for a good game. When an indie game for $20 can provide over 100 hours of enjoyment, it’s just getting to be a tough sell.

Nintendo has been pushing the limits of how far it can make things worse for their customers, and people are still locked in because of some of the first party franchises. (Zelda, Mario, Pokémon, etc.)

Frankly, I’m surprised that Nintendo fans aren’t more mad.
