source Seems like rather similar options to me?
But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.

there is an estimation i saw about the development cost of Breath of the Wild, at somewhere between 80 and 120 million USD. Breath of the Wild was 4 years in Development, Tears of the Kingdom spent 6 years in Development.
above 120 million for Tears of the Kingdom doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Mario Movie was 100 Million.

Anyway, both are stupidly profitable for Nintendo

How does crossplay in shooters work?
are controllers genuinely competetive to mouse and keyboard?

Remnant 2 seems to be cooperative? So at worst console / controller players are less of a help?

As of August 6, 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has grossed $574.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $779.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.355 billion.

[Tears of the Kingdom] sold more than 10 million copies in its first three days of release, and had sold over 18.5 million copies by June 2023.

wiki

at 69.99 a game, would mean the total volume sold is roughly $1.295 billion, 60 million less than the Super Mario Movie.

I’m not certain if the movie gross is the same calculation though. It seems that the calculation is fair But data for Tears of the Kingdom is about a month older so that it seems possible it passed The Super Mario Movie by now.

watch astartes (warhammer 40k)

yeah, it doesn’t destroy anything on the worldwide scale.
but it weakens.

erosion is a rather perfect term for it

interesting, as her service is illegal.

but well deserved, as it clearly shouldn’t be.

With Ukraine being a breadbasked, I wonder how many fields are unusable.
probably lots. That sucks for a lot of people.

That would seem like something where the TOS can fuck you over, depending on where you live and the strength of consumer protections there.

I would not at all be surprised if Ubisoft would be allowed to completely delete accounts in several “first world” countries.

And of course, even if you’re technically legally protected, getting that right in a court against ubisoft

I didn’t like the fact that for the “pc-setting” in the 8bitdo you have to use the dongle, and can’t use bluetooth.
also the kingkong2 pro has exchangeable abxy buttons, so you can change them to the correct layout for the thing you’re currently playing on (which may be extremely useful with the little brother, depending on his age)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

And I think it’s also not considered safe enough to retrofit gravel traps into places where there are safer solutions (like tarmac run-off)
There are dangers of cars digging in and flipping if I recall.

Rightly so, see this current Thread: Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud

Windows 365 is a service that streams a full version of Windows to devices. So far, it’s been limited to just commercial customers, but Microsoft has been deeply integrating it into Windows 11 already. A future update will include Windows 365 Boot, which will enable Windows 11 devices to log directly in to a Cloud PC instance at boot instead of the local version of Windows.

If Microsoft really wants to slowly kill “local windows”, Valve would be fucked if there is no way for gamers to game locally.
It’ll be hard enough to compete with “performance on demand” anyway, at least until Microsoft pushes the pricing back up after luring everyone in.
See Netflix, everyone loved it, no-one bought DVDs/BlueRays, and now everyone hates Netflix for raised prices, going after password-sharing, cancelling shows etc.
I expect exactly the same with “cloud PCs”

then put in X Disks.

we did that with (floppy) disks forever, and CDs too.

I don’t remember any DVDs using that, but they surely existed

Fdroid can share Apps from people with Fdroid near it.
Fdroid basic can’t do that, but with Android 13+ you don’t need root (and jump through hoops) do do automatic updates with it. Fdroid needs you to confirm every single file to be installed (without things like privileged extension)

Android <13: Fdroid
Android >13, Generally Fdroid Basic, and Fdroid for edge-cases where Fdroid Basic crashes, or the Internet is down but you really want to install a new app that your buddy has.

lol, sure he is ready, but I don’t expect Williams to call him up.
At all.

but… why?
Wouldn’t more content be good?
why would we want to punish meta for adopting open standards? shouldn’t they and everyone else be encouraged?

Is scaling the server a largely financial issue, or not? @nutomic@lemmy.ml

could you reasonably confidently say that you could 10x the amount of users for something like 1000$/mo on liberapay?
If so, would you mind setting a “goalpost” for the community to help lift the financial burden?
