Microsoft Raises the Price of All Xbox Series Consoles, Xbox Games Confirmed to Hit $80 This Holiday
I don't really agree that gamers should be blamed for this. Especially when it comes to lootboxes, battlepasses, gatcha etc. Those mechanics are tailor-made to exploit common psychological weaknesses in humans. The companies using these tactics and the lawmakers not stopping them should be blamed, not the people being exploited.
Going back to simple price increases, it's not true that these always work out well for the companies or result in record sales. Remember the 3DS Ambassador program? Nintendo has already faceplanted pretty hard with their pricing strategy before. Since the Switch 2 isn't even released, we have no idea how well the more expensive games will sell.

Switch 2 isn't even out yet. We have no idea how the raised game prices will affect sales numbers.

As expected the industry is following Nintendo lead thanks to gamers.
What do you mean by "thanks to gamers"?
theoldnet.com has some of that and also works on really old systems and browsers.
Yeah, but I don't think the nutters make up the full quarter of the voting population currently willing to vote for them. Lots of them are protest voters who are just vaguely "against". Besides, I don't think it'd be the deportations making some people reconsider, but the sheer economic stupidity of the Trump government as well as their attitude towards Europe. I fully expect Americans to be far poorer and more miserable in 2-3 years and that might do wonders to dispel the myth that the far-right could "fix the economy".
From my European perspective:
The fact check is probably about the fact that Marcus Aurelius didn't say that.
Could you give us an example of such a location please?
Russia, which is blocked from other international payment systems. Or any other authoritarian country where you might not necessarily want the government to know where you donate your money to.
Whataboutism fallacy.
We're still throwing around fallacies like it's 2010? Okay, I cast fallacy fallacy!
When talking about whether a donation button should have a specific payment option, it's relevant if the alternatives it offers are better or worse. Otherwise, the argument might as well be to not have a donation option at all.
Depending on where users are located, it might be the only realistic option they have if they want to donate. Besides, traditional payment systems like PayPal, MasterCard, Visa etc are all problematic in their own right.
I don't really get the need for a term like this. People are attracted or not attracted to all kinds of aspects of other people, so do we also need hyper-specific terms based on hair color, ethnicity, body size etc as well?
For me, as an individual, I don't think the cultural relevancy of my generation matters at all when it comes to getting involved in society.
Nothing in particular? I don't see how my cultural relevancy would affect my life in any way.
Berlin is the only place in Germany where I sat down in a restaurant and was approached by the waiter in English before switching to German.
I see no practical reason to build one on earth. It would be prohibitively expensive to build and maintain and there isn't really any point to it. On planets without a breathable atmosphere, maybe, but I don't see it happening within our lifetimes.
You think that big-breasted witch is... a young boy? What are you smoking?
Permanently Deleted
I live in an old house, so sometimes mice find their way in. Never really a huge problem though. I catch them with live traps and let them out a few km away. Don't think I've had any in the last couple months.
Yeah, this seems like an attempt to create a token leftist community to prove that they're not right-wing (despite all active political communities on there being just that). I find it quite funny that they're still looking for an actual leftist to run the community... Good luck with that!
No, I'd rather just have a decent search function. Lemmy should be about human interaction, not getting answers from an LLM.
It's neither communist nor a site.
Tackling "Nicole" Spam
So I'm sure some of you have also gotten the spam DMs supposedly from "Nicole, the fediverse chick". She is notorious enough across Lemmy to even have her own community now. I think I've gotten like 6 Nicole DMs. While those may seem amusing on their own, there is the worrying suggestion that they might actually be a deanonymization attack. In light of that possibility, are there any measures the admins here could consider to prevent this kind of attack from happening? Other instances' solutions include for example rehosting external embedded images, filtering out external images from DMs entirely or trying to implement filters for preventing spam DMs from being sent. Especially one of the former two solutions would in my opinion be quite good options to protect the privacy of pawb.social users.
My introduction to Linux Gaming: The GP2X
I feel like the Linux Handhelds made by GPH in the 2000s are a nowadays almost forgotten piece of history, even though they were in some ways the predecessor to today's Steam Deck. So I wanted to create a bit of an appreciation post for this chapter in Linux Gaming history. Did any of you use a GP2X back in the day as well? For me, it wasn't just my introduction to Linux gaming, but also game development, as I programmed my first games for it using GLBasic. It was a fantastic machine for emulation as well, got introduced to many old games from the 80s and 90s through it.

Games that support the Deck's multitouch
The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.
This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

Latest consensus is that YouTube performance issues seem to be Adblock Plus' fault.
That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.
I've noticed that Pawb no longer seems to receive any new posts from any feddit.de communities. For example, if I view the "DACH" community through Pawb, the latest post is from 7 days ago, while on feddit itself, there were many posts in the last 7 days. Both instances still seem to be federated and aren't on each other's blocklists. Any idea what is happening here?

Can't reply to kbin accounts
Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
