Don’t forget in the middle of the night, being woken up by your cat hacking something up onto your only rug… right next to your hardwood floor.
“Suh Yuh”
As I’ve heard it, it’s much less of a problem when you’re looking at it straight on and out of bright sunlight. I think it was Honor that released a foldable last year that nearly eliminated it. So they’re close to minimizing it as much as they can
Ugh, the “let’s try that again” move is so demeaning and rude. Royal families have no place in this world anymore.
They joke, but it would likely work. Become a defense contractor and the US government will let you do anything
They’ve sold 117 million PS4s and 59 million PS5s.
They take a 30% cut on each game sold on the PlayStation store. That’s $18 for every $60 game sold.
If every one of those people bought just one game per year, Sony brings in $3,006,000,000 every year. Even if only half of gamers buy one game per year, that’s still an insane amount of money.
Corporate greed on full display. And don’t tell me it’s because of game development costs. Because:
The next game, which is a fan-favourite is Uncharted 4. This game needed $40 million to be completed, and after its release, it made around $1 billion.
And the best of them all, Marvel Spider-Man. This game cost $100 million to be developed, and when it was released, it made a whopping $6.8 billion.
Sony-funded games are wildly profitable.
Anything over a $500 million in asset value taxed at 100%.
Far above what anyone should own. And yet, you’ll get middle-class people defending the people with those riches, that they deserve to keep their billion dollars.
The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.
I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.
You don’t really with physical these days either, at least not with video games. Lots of games require online services to play then and become bricked when the servers are shut down.
And then most of the time, a disk doesn’t even have the game on it. It’s essentially just a download license for you to download the actual game digitally. It’s all an ownership scam.
Feels like The Onion is on their game today, between this and the Trump $399 furry tail.

I’m of the opinion that people making less than 50,000 a year should only be paying like 5% in taxes and FICA/SS. And anyone under 150,000 taxed at 10%. Because the people making above that can afford to pay the typical 20% or more, but less than 150k is not all that much these days.
And then the mega-rich need to be paying way more than they do. Not just income tax, but capital gains tax and tax on the total value of their assets above 5 million (don’t @ me with this number, it’s an example) or whatever.
It really warms my heart to see unions coming back strong.
They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.
I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.
What’s the last game Ubisoft came out with that had any real success in the public gaming consciousness?
The Fractured But Whole?
They just don’t make great games.
Well that’s just great…
Why is fascism rising across the world? Why do people not realize how bad this all is?
Smith, probably.
Yeah… Hopefully not in 10 years, if I do things right.
Who the fuck tips landlords? You pay them, they provide a place to live. That’s the end of the transaction.
