This console would literally be doing what the Steam Deck already does - and likely charging you again for games you’ve already played. Why are you happy about their complete stagnation?
Looking forward to playing 10 year old looking games from a team (Nintendo) that will no doubt be selling them for $70? There’s so many better ways to spend your time/money…
I remain forever pissed that the best way to play BOTW or TOTK is through emulation, since they’re being held back to consoles that can’t play them consistently at 30fps in 720p.
If Nintendo would give me a legal way to play these, I would happily buy them again on PC! I want to enjoy those brilliant games the way the deserve to be enjoyed…
Wow that Twitter thread was toxic - people pretending like “greedy” Xbox is one acquisition away from world domination, when all the facts have pointed at Sony making game-level deals to continue dominating Xbox across so many new titles.
Of course Microsoft has considered acquiring other studios - that’s what happens in the business world: you consider making purchases of other companies/competition to see if they make business sense to do so. Even Sony has acquired Bungie recently to expand their portfolio of live service games, of which they showed off like 10 at their recent games showcase a month or so ago.
Just saving this comment for when “Switch U” is officially announced in April 2024 😅
It is Nintendo after all
The Deck movement is also a big win for lower-end hardware gamers, and linux gamers everywhere! Love seeing so many titles verified for those ecosystems, even though I don’t currently own a Deck :D
Star Citizen is the one fandom that will most certainly drive me to getting a big 3d printer so I can make ALL THE SPACESHIPS irl :D
I’ve collected quite a few digitally, but I need tangible copies of these beautiful models as well!! Your prints look amazing!
How cool! After spending too much on my (beginners) full sized network rack, there’s something so beautiful about the efficiency of a setup like yours!
All the cooler that you were able to print out your own :D
I type faster than I think, most times… So I’ll likely need to update my localhost to kick reddit traffic straight to lemmy :D
Curious about the same! I like the thought of someone expanding their creative mediums, but retelling family history via biography seems like an odd foray into it. We’ll have to wait and see, I guess 🤷♂️
Couldn’t find the answer around the web, but here’s their blog post about the browser!
I keep accidentally typing “red…” into by browser and visiting the site through muscle memory alone! So I’m definitely still contributing to the daily visitor metrics they seem to be showing here.
But as of yesterday I’ve completely made the switch. All in on Lemmy to fill that void Reddit used to.
Here’s to hoping more people make the switch, instead of putting up with Reddit thinking there’s no viable alternatives (like I did just a few days ago)!
That’s what gets me the most - Sony continues on pretending to care about the consumers, when all they actually care about is not having the chance to monopolize the games market themselves
Meanwhile, MS/Xbox is at least showing the care about giving consumers more choices as to where to play there games, while Sony locks down everything they can get their hands on via console exclusivity.
See also Xbox day 1 PC/Console releases vs PS 1-year console exclusivity before sometimes making a PC port. Drives me nuts!
Rock on, man… I backed in early 2014, and it’s honestly been such a wild ride throughout that time! Space Games have come and gone since then, and I’ve enjoyed my time with each and all of them, but nothing’s held my interest quite like Star Citizen.
Even the janky fun present in the game right now blows most of the competition out of the water, for me personally. And the weekly videos into the development process (Jarod’s the best!) are insightful and honestly enjoyable in and of themselves…
But it’s absolutely not for everyone! But if people are honest with themselves I think they’ll realize there’s a reason people are dumping money into a project like this: it’s got tons of promise, and there’s quite a bit to show for it even now :)
HOW DO I GIVE YOU GOLD?
Excellent write-up - exactly what us nerdy new home-owners need! :D
