I agree, as it stands sh.itjust.works has one of the best instances in my opinion. At least for users who are new to Lemmy since it has the easiest signup and is also very stable.
I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.
Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it's like night and day difference.
It was disgusting when I tried it. I don't think it helped that it was wood fired so the broccoli and carrots were heavily singed. Was very gross. It also barely had any cheese on it.
I wouldn't entirely agree, it's shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).
Developers are incentivised because advertising both:
Gives reoccurring revenue, beyond what a purchase would give.
It makes people more likely to pick them up since people easily pick things up that are cheap or even free.
Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don't want to support the app. I've known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).
So I'm not really a fan of implying this is our fault or "devs gotta eat too". This practice is very much corporate greed.
Not exactly the most exciting year for me, I don't know if non-steam games are counted as "sessions" there, if they aren't my count might've been higher (I played a lot of Minecraft on my Steam Deck).
I think the Era of consoles needs to come to an end and we need to transition to exclusively open PC-based or PC-Like platforms with Dedicated UIs to replicate the console experience (like Steam's Big Picture) but on an open hardware and software platform.
Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.
That's true, but the way they cut up the larger map environments into smaller ones to fit it in the DS' smaller ram and the DS' poorer touch screen sensitivity really made the game significantly worse, if not unplayable to an extent. I don't think I ever finished it because it needed me to draw something and the game just wouldn't recognize the shape I drew as correct because of the awful touchscreen.
It was basically soft-locked.
The lazy and poor plot was bad enough on its own but the technical problems I encountered were so bad the game was basically unplayable.
This is exciting news, Okami is one of my favorite games and it would be very nice to see a sequel for it. I hope they keep a similar if not the same artstyle as the original one. Either way though it'll be really nice to have a sequel since as most people know, original left on a bit of a cliffhanger.
There's no equivalent to the Nintendo DS these days, no excuse to make something that awful now.
I feel like Okamiden could've been a better game had they released it for the PSP instead of the Nintendo DS. They could've used bigger maps, better graphics, and still had somewhat decent controls.
You don't even need instructions on betting, betting or wagering is something that people can figure out on their own quite easily, the behavior is often demonstrated in real life in other non-gambling scenarios "I bet ya can't climb that tree", so if we assume a game about playing cards can be considered gambling, than the assumption that Playing cards themselves would also be considered gambling materials seems plausible, but it is meant to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
And yet we have whiny idiots saying copyright encourages artists to create new works. Why the fuck would it when they can just rehash the same shit over and over and over and continue making money on them?
That assumption is based on assuming that profits produce joy and passion in a project. Something which is blatantly false if you look at any of the largest, richest companies in the world.
I suppose playing cards in Europe are considered "gambling materials" under that logic and aren't allowed to be sold to people under 18? That would be absurd.
