Can confirm. I've seen this on multiple boards. I think this was Asus nomenclature.

Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

This means two things:

• You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
• Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

But I've probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I'm in, and my age.

You just reminded me of another one: Monster Hunter World had a leftover behaviour from testing or so. The button L would rotate the camera to the right, as a hardcoded invisible binding.

That doesn't matter much to most people, but I'm left handed, so my movement keys are IJKL instead of WASD. Rotating right whenever you want to step right is completely disorienting, I ended up returning it too.

Crocs were hated? When?

I would say they are still hated right now.

I just find them ugly, but there are some people with almost visceral reactions to them. "That's not even a real shoe" kind of thing.

Oh melting chocolate, I need to try that next time. I'm always worried about burning the chocolate in the pot.

For me it just crashed often enough that it was frustrating to keep redoing things and one side quest got stuck because an enemy was half dead in the floor and I couldn't finish them.

I let the game rest and played it a year later, it was great then. Half a year later I played it a second time, with different gender, weapons focus, and starting background. It was great again :-)

Yeah, use the official client, the stupid stupid ads will annoy you enough to interrupt you in frustration from time to time

Sometimes I'm surprised that acts like these don't incite violence against the responsible politician.

For someone who had their existance threatened it could be possible to frame it as an advanced form of self defense. Of course not everyone would see it that way, but I'm thinking it would be likely that at least some people come to that conclusion.

That's exactly what a weeb masquerading as a Linux nerd would say!

I bet his penguin is from "A Place Further than the Universe"

I heard of it as an emergency stopgap measure until you can make it to the hospital to get pumped out and properly treated. But it's been a while, I could misremember

Maybe I'm desensitized because our group address is published in multiple places on the web, but that email is not even slightly noteworthy. This November we've already gotten 7 emails that said our mailbox was full or we needed to change its password.

To me this is just background noise of the Internet.

"turning to Youtube" doesn't really say much one way or another. There is a wide range of content from professional media over smaller alternative media outlets over individual opinion pieces to manufactured disinformation from state actors all hosted on Youtube.

Depends on who's writing the laws. Sometimes crime is moral.

With the resurgence of chauvinist parties who ignore human rights this is important to keep in mind at the moment.

More importantly, they can't adapt Windows to their needs.

Isn't that too slow for streaming video?

I've tinkered plenty even when using Windows haha. I even have a Windows 98 and Windows XP virtual machine for some old things, but everything I care about seems to have a modern HD release, a userpatch or can be hooked with dxwnd, so I don't use them anymore at the moment.

But yeah probably the long term solution is Linux. Personally I wouldn't run Windows 7 anymore. The unfixed CVE list has become quite long. I just went checking for the above titles out of principle, because I don't like this conflation of PC gaming with only Steam.

I still haven't made the jump to gaming on Linux, unfortunately. Although I've been running a dual boot for the last 8 years or so, because I used Linux for my studies, use it for my work, and for hosting my game servers on a second computer, so I would be in a prime position... but so far I have just gone the way of least resistance, which is still Windows 10 at the moment.

But I have a deadline now: October 2025. Just need to figure out the best distro, I don't think I'll use my existing Fedora KDE install for this. Maybe Arch, or one of these new immutable distros, that might be neat for when different games require different versions of libraries.

Ah sorry I hadn't heard that they switched to Java 21 with 1.20.5

The title of that article is kind of weird. It's just wrong to claim they are dead for gaming because of a lack of steam.

Anyone can just get Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Stardew Valley, or Anno 2070 from GoG and for each of them you can game for another 50 hours without needing steam. Or get Minecraft from their page directly and play for 100 hours. This is all without going to any retro titles.

looks like a console from a 90s pop music video
