Really? I have the Wii U ones and they put up with a lot of abuse. The rubber on some sticks have completely deteriorated but they still input accurately.

It’s honestly what’s made me so bitter about the Joy Cons.

I believe that’s correct. And as others have pointed out this is likely an anti-scalping measure which changes my view on it.

I do however hope they will keep a good stock of them. Having to be a subscriber is annoying enough but even when I was one I was never able to be quick enough when N64 ones went back in stock.

Nintendo pulls Switch 2 pre-orders in US over Trump tariffs

Edit: also, these will never be on shelves. They will be a membership exclusive online order regardless, even after the preorder-only window.

That’s been standard for the switch retro controller releases. And yes it’s been bullshit the entire time. I would have liked an N64 one.

Initially. Still annoying but title is misleading.

🤮

It’s easy to understate what an unusual project SteamOS is. It represents over a dozen years of work from some of the industry’s finest, is funded by a private company, yet is open source and free for everyone to use. “I’m pretty happy that we’ve managed to find a balance that’s beneficial to everyone, while still being able to help this PC ecosystem in this way,” says Griffais. “I’m really happy about that.”

I can’t wait to try it

Potentially, but only for a new Smash Bros. (same reason I got the Wii U and Switch)

People liked Blue Shift more? I’m not sure I finished it…

I played it roughly a decade after it released* following playing HL1 for the first time. I enjoyed it.

Go on

Average Lemmy User

A therapist

Pretty sure we’re in that

If I back up a DRM-free installer what’s the difference?

But it’s only four easy interest-free payments of $12.49!

I just don’t want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking “god damn, it was femboy paradies!”

This is so hyperbolic I have to wonder where this thinking comes from?

It’s included in headlines is because it’s a small word. At least historically. Now it’s just a holdover.

1984?

I have never met a trans person

As far as you know

A company that makes some good decisions over a long term stands out in a sea of corps endlessly chasing next quarter

What do you mean? Mastadon users can follow lemmy communities to see posts

Edit: to clarify, Lemmy is not set up to make or view microblog style posts. Therefore we don’t see into that side of the fediverse from Lemmy. However, my understanding is that Mastadon users can follow communities on Lemmy as if they’re a microblog account, with all posts and comments from that community coming in as one steam in chronological order. So compatibility isn’t great over there either. They can also make posts in Lemmy communities by tagging it in their post. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Of course they did.

Didn’t apple already back away from this? Or am I thinking of something else?

End of an Era.

Which SMS app?

Wow, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but I wasn’t hopeful. Yes, it did read to me at least like you were being snappy with them, sarcastically thanking, and then rolling your eyes at the fact someone would even think that was a good reply

Text communication is tough though. I know I’ve definitely written some comments that do no sound right when read back.

Umm, what was the intended tone of this comment?

Better than the android version of the original being a Netflix exclusive.

Bluesky gets forgotten

Valve hired Le and Cliffe when the mod’s popularity was becoming clear, as well as buying the rights to Counter-Strike. Le calls the transition to working at Valve “very humbling” and says “I got to work with some of the best game developers in the industry, and they taught me some skills I would never have learned outside of Valve.”

Let’s not forget they also gave him a job

Next

Edit: neat** 🤦‍♂️

Very Apple of them. As if they were the first.

That’s sounds really cool. Thanks for explaining.

Like Drill Dozer?

Is this real? Or are you just tricking me by using an older game I’d know?

Who can tell

casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate,

This is what he’s willing to admit. I wonder what constitutes “inappropriate”.

Welp, I’m not on twitch but if I ever heard his name before it never registered. Who’s the biggest now? Or just make someone up I’ll never know.

Part of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt

Why? Hasn’t his official statement said enough? I have no idea who this guy is. Is he that big?
