I know it doesn’t matter, but after all I’ve read about Nintendo and the Switch 2 in the last year?

Fuck 'em. I’m going to get a Steam Deck or a Lenovo handheld, and I’ll just enjoy the Nintendo products I already have. I’m not spending a small fortune on a console that they can brick remotely, or force me to buy a $50 proprietary charger for, or a “virtual game cartridge”.

Fuck all of that bullshit.

This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.

Not sure if he pushed the original measure but he was definitely instrumental in the compromise they attempted to insert into it.

That vote tally, though.

Totally, and the deal’s going to happen in two weeks. Definitely two weeks.

it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don’t have the capacity to comply.

In this scenario that’s not a consideration.

We’re talking about algorithmically-driven content, which wouldn’t apply to Lemmy, Mastodon, or many mom-and-pop sized pages and forums. Those have human moderation anyway, which the big sites don’t. If you’re making editorial decisions by weighting algorithmically-driven content, it’s not censorship to hold you accountable for the consequences of your editorial decisions. (Just as we would any major media outlet.)

Getting weird is why we love Bioshock so much.

What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.

You’re not wrong. There are lots of holier-than-thou types around here.

Same, took some legwork to get files for my 700-song library, but we did it. Fuck 'em.

It is possible to get off Spotify.

What you can’t buy legitimately via other means you can use a Youtube-To-MP3 converter to rip and add the file to your music library.

It’s not censorship to hold people accountable for making editorial decisions on media platforms, and as long as FB, Twitter, and others are weighting different kinds of content in their algorithms (which they are), they should be held accountable financially and legally for the consequences.

It’s almost certainly programmed to find damage that doesn’t exist and price gouge you for it, but they haven’t found that sweet spot yet, where you can get people to pay more without putting up a fight.

I think I’m going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

Remember you can get things refunded if you don’t end up liking a game.

So… who’s getting what?

Same Ada.

I’d rather see nothing than the slop the algorithm keeps plastering across my screen. (Though I do like the topic buttons at the top.)

I like it.

God, no.

I love my peace and wouldn’t trade it for anyone.

I hope you have fun with it. :)

Yeah, I had to put it down.

The gameplay was ultimately just too annoying to me, which is a bummer because the ideas and aesthetic were exceedingly cool.
