released in June, less than 6 bucks, only 1 review.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s hard being an indie dev it seems.

How about reading the article before commenting

As an ex-journo, ouch.

But yeah, investigative journalism is dead. A press release is a valid source but it is the journalists duty to sift through the BS and corpospeak and convey what it actually means.

There’s too many sites that just paste a press release on a blog page and call it an article, but let me stop there before I digress even more!

I feel like there’s research paper potential here…

“gauging Battlefield’s launch success from observing Battlebit popularity - CluckN et al”

They consolidated their handheld and console departments into one to be able to sync the 3DS and Wii U releases better, and I guess that’s when it started.

The 3DS was still supported years into the Switch lifecycle and got games. Okay, maybe mostly remakes/ports, but the 3DS was still getting active support. They also launched the “New Nintendo 2DS XL” in 2017 and similar to the GB Micro in the sense that it was a cheaper version of the same hardware (or even less, considering no 3D).

But with all that being said, the elephant in the room is this: our phones killed the 3DS (and other handhelds). Of course portable gaming is far from dead, but traditional handhelds are more niche now due to everything being available on the phone or tablet.

That’s cute, but if you don’t do shit with the feedback, then it doesn’t really matter how big the playtest is, eh?

Sources say that playtests with external players are happening much more frequently than in past installments, and the amount of data and feedback collected is the most the franchise has seen in its history. From small feedback sessions to large-scale player tests, Battlefield is now taking the much-needed “player first” approach.

Alright, let’s wait for more info other than “sources say”, then.

Their next handheld, the DS, was an experimental clamshell console with dual screens and a touch pad, yet was tasked with somehow recovering the ground lost to Sony while also being a worthy successor to the Game Boy name.

It was originally not meant as the “successor” to the game boy, but as a “third pillar” next to console and handheld gaming. This is because the 2 screens of which one was a touch screen was pretty niche at the time.

Soon they realized that its popularity and compatibility with classic handheld games made it a fine successor to game boy games, instead of a gimmicky console that only had a limited run.

They did launch the GB Micro after that, but it was just a very very small GBA SP so I guess that doesn’t count.

As @HorseChandelier pointed out, it’s not about misgendering, it’s about what being a first Lady entails

I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female

Meanwhile, future First Lady Elon Musk weighed in on Tuesday

Ooh spicy, I like it

Having fun responding to these advertorials:

Title: “How To Compress A Video Without Losing Quality”

2. Compress video using Zip

Yeah, I always share my videos in a zip file, especially when I’m sharing it with strangers.

3. Change the resolution

I thought without losing quality was the goal here?

Anyway, use HandBrake to compress videos. It’s got a slider for quality so you can finetune the quality and file size to get as close to the file size you want to share it.

Wouldn’t that enable an angle of “martyr for freedom of speech”?

Could you elaborate on this angle? I’m not very well versed in the rights of companies operating in the EU, but I’m unsure “freedom of speech” is one of them.

Edit: I did find information about how social media needs to help us protect freedom of speech for all of their users. Currently, X is doing the opposite it seems

So 2 out of 50 games aren’t really improved, aka 4%.

Turns out you can’t just throw better hardware at every game to make it run better, who would have thought.

It almost looks “3D” in the first pic instead of fur, if you catch my drift. Really odd, in the fun and unique kind of way.

Do they have a permanent mustache, or what is that? So cute!

They are mentioned in the article, if we can call it that. But no specifics:

Currently, U.S. restrictions include an embargo on a certain weapons shipment and limitations on various combat-related equipment, even if they do not involve explosive ordnance.

Yoo you again, great work!

Idk, I kinda agree. Look at how many shitty Pokémon games were made in order to launch alongside with a new series or movie. Those time constraints did not do those games any favor.

So I’m happy they didn’t try to launch a new Fallout game when the series was released. I’ll be wandering the Mojave Desert until then. And if something like 76 comes out again, I might just stay there forever.

I know this is a meme, but if you want to get rid of them:

Click your picture on the top right > Settings > Notifications > Email > turn off “Missed activity emails”

Not accurate enough. All the piss and sweat would mean lost weight too.

It should be measured the same way calories are measured: dehydrate it, weigh it, and then explode it inside a machine. I wanna see how many calories go in and how many calories go out.

Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

Are you insinuating Google is reading your Lemmy comments and pushing you news recommendations based on those?
