I have never seen a bank card that doesn’t use Visa or Mastercard, even if we wanted to, it would be almost impossible to use an alternative.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game StudiosEnglish
622·9 months agoNintendo are horrible to consumers but at least they understand the value of their staff. That’s something I value more from a company. (depending on the extent of their anti-consumer practices, nintendo have definetly gone too far with their’s)

Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them allEnglish
4·9 months agoExcluding steam because even playstation release exclusives on steam now, Starfield is (was? I don’t know if it released on ps later on) xbox exclusive. Out of Zenimax’s library, that is probably the game that you would want the least as an exclusive but at least it is something (they needed something after spending US$7.5 billion on them)
Typing your own code manually? Unheard of!
My living space is clean but looks untidy (male). I don’t keep things on shelves and cupboards (apart from clothes and books I’m not reading at the moment), everything (mostly tech and studying stuff) goes on the floor. It’s not unorganised, I know where everything is and I don’t just throw stuff on the floor, if something is in a place on the floor I put it there for a reason and NO ONE SHOULD MOVE IT. Expensive stuff that can break if it is stepped on and stuff I don’t want to step on gets placed near the edges of rooms and under tables. Once every week it all gets thrown on my bed (still organised) so I can clean but after that it all goes back on the floor.

I haven’t used heroic, how good is the wine integration? Is it as seamless as proton? I want to know if I should wait for the steam sale or buy some games from gog instead.

Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still DriftingEnglish
51·10 months agoDid iwata ever say they were a bad idea? I thought it was that they had no idea how to make them secure but easy to remove, not because iwata said it was stupid.

Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still DriftingEnglish
71·10 months agoI think the reason the connectors are magnetic is because it is something nintendo’s designers always wanted to do. So once their engineers figured out how to do it (after the launch of the original switch) they designed the switch 2 around the magnetic connectors. I think it’s incredibly stupid when one of the most important things to do for a sequel to the switch is fixing the drift but it’s a reason at least I guess?
Here’s the video I watched about it: https://youtu.be/JDhj8s-i–s

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no?English
7·10 months agoBest way to run an instance for cheap is on your own hardware, but I would only do that if you are experienced with self hosting since it would require port forwarding (unsecure if done wrong)

1·10 months agoIs this made by fdev again? I know that elite dangerous isn’t the most profitable game but that game needs a lot more attention than a 3rd jurassic world game (although I played the first 2 games and I liked them)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What to do with an old Nintendo Switch?
7·10 months agoHow old is the switch? There will be someone you can sell it to who will be willing to try and fix it just for an easily moddable switch.
(Also needing to buy a switch this close to the switch 2 must be painful… all the savings that could have gone towards it…)

World News@lemmy.world•At least 27 hurt as van hits pedestrians at parade celebrating soccer win in Liverpool, EnglandEnglish
2·10 months agoIt’s not just that, the last time the police withheld information about something like this speculation about the missing information caused some of the worse riots the uk has ever seen, they are probably trying to avoid another situation like that.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Car driver ploughs into crowd at Liverpool FC paradeEnglish
3·11 months agoThe reason they are quick to make it non political is not because of what you said, it’s because the last time something like this was made political in the uk it led to some of the worst riots the country has ever seen. The police are just being extremely careful so something like that doesn’t happen again.

281·11 months agoFrom what I’ve heard about it, it’s because the default gtk style only fits in with gnome, and gtk4 made it really difficult to customise it and is also really buggy on anything not gnome.
That’s what I’ve heard anyway, I’m not a distro dev and the distro I last used is still on gtk3

One of the best campaigns I have ever played and definetly my favourite shooter.
