Haha just reading your comment cou

You’re getting apples for 10 cents a pound at a grocery store?! Nah there can’t be right

We’ll see I suppose. I will add, though, that exclusive games absolutely do drive people to Xbox or Playstation (or Nintendo). Not a deal-breaker for most people, but a factor for some people.

Nah I still don’t get it. Windows PC gamers don’t have to think about compatibility at all right now - every major game release is compatible with windows, apart from some Nintendo exclusives. You dont even have to think about it - when a new game is announced I know I will be able to play it on Windows without jumping through any hoops. Even if it’s a simple check mark for every game it’s still more work, and many games are gonna be blocked because of anti-cheat.

I also think that very few casual phone/tablet gamers are going to be purchasing a dedicated Linux gaming machine that isn’t a daily driver computer. Heck, most Americans don’t even have a desktop nowadays. I don’t think there’s a price out for the steam machine yet but we’re talking over $1000 right? Probably more like $1500 once you factor in peripherals? That’s a TON of money for a casual tablet/phone gamer to drop on something that they won’t also be using as a regular computer.

I guess, but anyone buying a steam machine is gonna have to research the specs anyways, and more exhaustively, check to see if every game they like is supported. I get why open-source enthusiasts are excited about this project and I am to, but in my opinion the cross-section of people who a) aren’t willing to build their own PC or even research different options and b) are willing to daily drive Linux are pretty slim. Especially when they find out they can’t play BF6.

Yes and no, if you don’t feel like doing a bunch of research pcpartspicker and reddit have all kinds of recommended PC builds at every budget level. You can also pay people to just build a PC for you. Also… pre-built gaming PCs have always been a thing? So I don’t really see the hype tbh.

But can it provide emotional support as well?!

Depends what you mean by “upper end”, but already 64GB is running for over $600. And it’s almost certainly going to get worse. I wouldn’t be stunned if 32GB tops out at close to $1000 next year.

Oh, interesting! Thanks for the info.

As just someone who browses all on lemmy.world and comments occasionally is there anything better about doing the same on piefed? I don’t feel like my experience is lacking, except that sometimes images load slowly depending on the instance. And I don’t think there are native videos, or at least I see very few of them.

Was it though??

Piefied is at about 5k monthly users and rising, so that does help a bit. With that factored in the monthly users is probably about level over the last 2 years and comments are going up, although that could be the influence of bots as well.

I’ll be honest I haven’t delved too deep into his music but his cover of Bulls on Parade goes hard

Denzel Curry maybe?

So your claim that they are still funded and influenced by the British government is completely unsubstantiated got it.

“You have insufficient funds available on your payment method for an additional flip.”

Nah it works out the exact same. Say you make $10 every time you sell a $100 product. That means you have a 50/50 chance of either gaining $110 or losing $90. 110*0.5 + (-90)*0.5 = $10.

They are my primary news source. I think they are extremely trustworthy and overall pretty unbiased. I sense a sort of contempt towards Donald Trump that bleeds through even in their very dry reporting style. I appreciate how non-sensationalized their stories are.

Do you have any evidence they continue to be funded and directed by the British government? They were literally partnered with TASS until 2022…

Ok cool, I might give that a try!
