  • I'd like there to be an OLED option for people who use handheld mode heavily and want to pay more for a better display. But for the base model, it makes total sense for it to be an LCD display. That's just prudent, as the average player probably doesn't care and wants to pay less. Especially parents buying this at Christmas.

  • Which Dragon Age games are worth playing?
  • Awesome information, thank you so much!

  • Which Dragon Age games are worth playing?
  • Thanks, I didn't realize there was an expansion. I'm not sure if GamePass includes it so I'll look into it.

  • Which Dragon Age games are worth playing?

    I have never played any of the Dragon Age games, but I just gained access to the GamePass tier that has EA games, so I can play any of them.

    I absolutely love all of Bioware's "classic" works (KOTOR, Mass Effect) where conversation choices affect the plot of the game. Would you guys recommend just playing the Dragon Age games in order of release, or what is the general consensus?

    President who threatened to eat his opponent to attend upcoming Russia-Africa summit, while most invited leaders decline
  • IMO it's very condescending that there is a Russia-Africa summit where all the leaders of Africa are summoned to St Petersburg (and the US does the exact same thing with the US-Africa summit). As if they need to come and pay tribute.

  • Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned
  • It must be incredibly frustrating to be the new CEO that he just appointed, only to have him continuing to run his mouth and make ruinous decisions that tie your hands.

  • Can spez really be that stupid?
  • It's really apparent that Spez and the rest of the admin team don't actually use Reddit on a day to day basis. Their decisions are like some consultant coming in and recommending ideas.

  • What gaming console / platform do you prefer?
  • Nintendo 3DS is my favorite of all time 😁

  • What are some useful skills or hobbies that anyone can learn for free?
  • In the US, all AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts will dispose of your oil for free. Also, most municipalities will take it at special centers (same place where you might go to dispose of electronics).

    Personally I have a designated where I let the oil collect from multiple oil changes, and then I take it to the county landfill maybe once every two years when there's enough to justify a trip.

    It's a small hassle, but worth it IMO. Just depends on what is available to you.

  • What are some useful skills or hobbies that anyone can learn for free?
  • You can teach yourself how to change the oil on your car simply by watching YouTube videos. And then all you need to buy are a few basic supplies, and you'll be able to change your oil for life. Oil changes are either absurdly expensive (dealership) or done half-assed (Jiffy Lube), so doing it yourself gives you a job done right for pennies on the dollar.

    And if you find that you have a knack for it, you can teach yourself more basic maintenance jobs like changing brake pads.

  • Sweden in NATO? Maybe not
  • Just want to note that the link is an opinion piece, not a news article.

  • Reddit is replacing / modifying the Reddit gold feature, what are your thoughts ?
  • I think it's very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.

    Why on Earth would you announce this now when you're not ready for whatever is coming next? It's like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.

    I'm only half joking that I'm expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called "Links" next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.

  • Reddit kills awards and coins
  • It's so on-brand for Reddit to announce killing these features without any explanation of what is to take its place. Just a vague mention of more communication "in the coming months".

    How exciting.

    Reminds me of when they killed Reddit Gifts/Secret Santa.

    Reddit and Twitter are racing to see who can kill themselves faster.

  • Twitter, Threads, and the misunderstood nature of engineering
  • True in society at large, but to be fair, I don't think this post is trying to be "Team Threads" as much as it's trying to point out the consequences of the very different decisions they made. And hopefully in the future, some stupid CEO will think twice when trying to implement shit like Elon Musk did.

  • Asobo Studio Hints at Third A Plague Tale Game with Recent Job Listings - Try Hard Guides
  • For better or for worse, the Plague Tale games are my favorite games of all time. I'm certainly not claiming that they're the best, they're just my favorite. Love the fairly short length, love the attention to detail with the setting, love the characters, the storytelling, just everything about it.

    Asobo Studio's work is incredible for being pretty much indie developers. Not only did they do these two games, but they did freaking Flight Sim 2020 for Microsoft!

    Can't wait for Plague Tale 3.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 preview: the closest we've ever come to a full simulation of D&D
  • The OP is the mod of this sub and he posts about almost every game coming to PS5. It's not an ad for Baldurs Gate lol. Honestly Baldurs Gate does not need an ad. People have been hyped about it for years.

  • Jerboa v0.0.39 Release
  • Are you a developer of both Lemmy and Jerboa? I just realized I think I've seen your name in both places. You are a freaking hard worker!!!

  • The Release Date and Key Features of Windows 12 Unveiled
  • This is just my own take, but I feel like at least part of the reason they went back to releasing new versions is because of the recent resurgence of macOS. Not only do Macs have the excitement of Apple Silicon, but they have annual "new" OS releases; even if not much has changed, it creates excitement with their fanbase. I think Microsoft realized that it's not very exciting to just be on Windows 10 forever. So we got Windows 11.

  • Anybody play Golden Sun?
  • I'm hoping it comes to the NSO service soon. Of course there's nothing wrong with emulating, but it would be cool to play it on the Switch too.

  • Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads
  • Amusing that Twitter's cease and desist notice claims that Meta is using its "trade secrets". Lmfao what trade secrets? Twitter has no unique technology or patents. Their whole business position is nothing more than first mover advantage for their format of social media.

    That's why they've never made money. They don't have any novel IP or "trade secrets" to leverage in the first place.

    Say what you want about Meta, but at least they have a whole ad platform that they created that competes with Google Ad Sense, and is an actual asset.

  • Biden says Supreme Court 'misinterpreted the Constitution' in rejecting student loan relief
  • Trump already announced he is running in 2024. And so is Biden. Unfortunately, this is the absurd situation we are in. Out of all the 300M+ people in this country, we are going to have a choice between these same two fucking guys AGAIN.

    I had hoped at least the GOP candidate would be someone other than Trump, but it seems unlikely.

  • Update from thread this morning: I bought a PS3 on Facebook marketplace. This is the amount of dust. O_O

    Somebody mentioned de-lidding the CPU. I am hoping to get away with not doing that, but we'll see how it runs.

    I got it for $40, so I can't complain. The disc drive works fine, it outputs 1080p, the controller input works fine. It just needs to be cleaned like all hell.

    Is buying a PS3 worth it in 2023?

    I never had a PS3 back in the day. I have a PS5 now, and when I was looking at the PS+ packages, I was fascinated by the fact that all the PS3 games have to be streamed. And what's more, relatively few PS3 games are even on the service. I didn't realize that the PS3 was such a unique/powerful console, that it still apparently can't be properly emulated even on a PS5.

    I am interested in playing Final Fantasy 13, the Killzone series, Resistance Fall of Man, among others. Looks like a PS3 can be had for about $120 at my local game store.

    Do others still have and use their PS3? Does it still connect/interface to Sony's online service? Like can I still get trophies that connect with my PS account, buy DLC, etc? Or is all that shut down?

    I do have an Xbox Series X, so I could play FF13 on there, but none of the other games.

    (Hopefully this kind of post is ok here, I know it's not gaming news, but just trying to not sit and lurk, but actually create discussion)

    nypost.com Doomed Titanic sub CEO tried to sell cut-price tickets, saying it was ‘safer than crossing the street’

    “He was absolutely convinced that it was safer than crossing the street,’ Jay Bloom wrote on Facebook. “But he was very wrong.”

    Doomed Titanic sub CEO tried to sell cut-price tickets, saying it was ‘safer than crossing the street’

    The NY Post got their hands on some pretty damning text messages where this CEO was irresponsibly downplaying the risks and cutting the ticket price for a potential prospect. I know he's dead now, but I hope some sort of regulations come out of this.

    How does the concept of legal liability (for firms) work within Marxism?

    Hi everyone, although I am not personally socialist, I come in peace with a question that I am seeking to learn.

    Within capitalism, the concept of "limited liability" is common. Essentially, the owners of a firm cannot be held personally liable for the wrongs of the firm. If Toyota makes dangerous airbags, the personal home of the executives cannot be seized to pay victims. Only company assets can be liquidated.

    How does this work within a Marxist framework where the workers are the owners of the "firms" (or of the manufacturing plant). For example, imagine that a worker-owned plant makes faulty airbags through negligence. Would the workers be personally liable? Or would the concept of limited liability remain, and the worst that could happen would be the liquidation of the plant to repay victims' families?

    Thank you for hearing my question!
