Can somebody say PROPOGANDA?!

I’d use Android Auto + Sandboxed Google Play more if Android Auto allowed NewPipe, OsmAnd and other FOSS apps to be added to the dashboard.

I mean, when it comes to console exclusives, some can’t be beat. Nintendo and Sony have proven that console exclusives still drive sales.

YAAAAAAR, MATEYS!

B-bu-buh-buht muh cloud computing, and S3 buckets, and no need for physical, and non-ownership!

This is exactly why I started moving my shit off Proton Drive and into my external hard drive. Yes, the Proton Suite is private and secure, but I want to own my shit.

Also why I’m moving my shit off Bitwarden and onto KeepPass.

Backups are key, Lemmyngs!

Also likely: they just took the investment money and ran, the fucking robber barrons they are.

I mean, when you have a dev cycle that has to closely line up the games with merch and media, that doesn’t leave a lot of room for redesigns. It was only in the last generation that some Pokemon lile Charizard and Ho-Oh got SLIGHT redesigns, and now with Gen 10, Pikachu is getting its second redesign.

Hard agree that bookmark import/export would make transitioning to IronFox much more incentivizing, but aside from that, I love how hardened it is.

I wish I had done more research into which TP-Link router I could flash OpenWRT on before buying the one I’ve been using for the past two years.

Seriously considering using OpnSense on an old laptop at this point.

Fair, I also have a Switch 2, and Pokopia looks like tons of fun.

My argument was moreso “I have other options” apart from Nintendo if they ever go the “you will own nothing and you will be happy about it” route, which they seem to be inching towards.

What’s this about me being on a report and shrinkage tho? Genuinely asking.

And when they do, mark my words, they’ll raise the price of digital games to $70-80 because “we’re Nintendo, what the fuck are you gonna do about it?”

Well, Ninty, I have a Steam Deck loaded with cracked games, roms of your old shit you refuse to rerelease, PC ports of said roms, fan games, and games I’ve bought theough Steam that will literally last me several generations at this point, and that’s not even counting the games that have yet to release.

Yessir, I have enough PC games to never touch a Nintendo game ever again. And if I ever do feel the urge, there are tons of fan games, ports and roms of Nintendo IP accessible via web browser.

Nah, Lil’ Timmy, your former employees are about to see a “stream of blood”.

Yes.

Went back and forth between the following:

Vanadium - secure Chromium browser installed by default on GrapheneOS, Bromite/Cromite - alternative secure/private Chromium browser, Quetta Browser - private Chromium browser that comes with an AI-based ad blocker and extension support, IronFox - private Gecko browser that is as hardened as LibreWolf or Mull Browser.

Right now, I’m daily driving Cromite and IronFox, the former now having extension support via Developer Options, which allowed me to enable and install extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

You da freaking GOAT! Thank you for introducing me to this!

You’d be better off buying a non-smart Samsung commercial TV from eBay and getting a $20 Onn 4K TV Box from Walmart. The latter can be Degoogled and sideloaded with Stremio, Cloudstream, or your streaming app of choice to make it the ultimate privacy-respecting media center.

Local weed babe still waiting to get filled.

Oooh, nice wanted poster!

Any games that do take advantage of the increased performance cost $5-20 extra.

One of the smartest thing Nintendo could have done, and it seemed like they were doing this with BOTW/TOTK was to offer the upgrade for free with NSO Expansion Pak memberships, to increase the value of NSO Expansion Pak, get more people to sign up for NSO Expansion Pak and make the Switch 2 a more viable purchase.

BUT NAAAAAAH, ROTFLMAO, $20 ON TOP OF $70 ANNUALLY ON TOP OF $70 GAMES COMING OUT MONTHLY ON TOP OF A $450-500 CONSOLE + $100 ACCESSORIES IS MOTHERFUCKING CRAZY.
