@flwwhtrbt They didn't announce any sort of pricing for it though, did they?

I saw some discussion about a rumored $900+ price point, as that seems to be the launch price for the non-Xbox ROG Ally... feels a bit too steep a price to be successful really, IMO.

What's your opinion?

@padraig I'm using N26 for day to day, and then my local Credit Union for physical branch stuff and savings.

Didn't really see the appeal to Revolut at the time I left Ulster Bank, but it does seem to be the more popular choice versus N26.

@flwwhtrbt yeah, it's unfortunately been abandoned in the bottom corner of a bookshelf gathering dust... The front plastic has seriously discolored since i looked at it last too 😳

@flwwhtrbt My GameCube would be outraged if it could read your toot!

@phoronix it was always the first thing I disabled on a Firefox install.

Halfway through listening to the latest Mars Volta album, and it's an enjoyably slinky accompaniment for this nice weather today 🎶

@fedicat R* tradition dictates May 2027 most likely...

I'm not gonna be buying a PS5 just for GTA, RDR2 is already the reason I have a PS4 sat in it's box somewhere in here 😂

@fedicat Captured on PS5? That's impressive!

*mandatory sad PC platform noises*

@flwwhtrbt I've seen a few comments about it looking a bit suspicious, including Nick (from The Escapist / Second Wind) over on bluesky comparing it to "The Day Before"

@flwwhtrbt I tried the demo for InZoi and was pleasantly surprised with how robust the in-game design tools were, but then remembered I have absolutely no creativity and kinda gave up on it.

I'd say it'll really shake up the Sims community!

@killyourfm weirdly I've only encountered it on Lemmy.

I wonder if my self-hosted masto instance is just too small to be targeted by that spam?

I *finally* got my little Gitea instance going again!

v1.23.4 tweaked ACME stuff without listing it in the changelogs.

*shakes fist in general direction of updates*

@fedicat Ooh, which color did you go with? The white/purple variant looks really nice!

I'm basically waiting for my Corsair K95 Platinum to die before I buy another keyboard, which may take some time.

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remake isn't gonna have the THPS4 career.

What even is the point?
Hype completely gone.

@flwwhtrbt Don't forget about #Steam #NextFest - I've pulled like 12 different demos this week to check out already!

#Fumes is a pretty decent Mad Max car combat experience that I stumbled across while browsing, it's definitely getting the (languish in my) wishlist treatment!

#DescendersNext replaced mountain biking with snowboarding for the sequel, and it was alright, but maybe not capable of topping something like SSX or Steep any time soon in my eyes.

@thelinuxEXP had one wisdom tooth pulled a week ago, it has not been a fun week 🦷💥

All the best for a speedy recovery!

:oof:

Forgot about my Humble Bundle Choice sub until right now, when I got an email from PayPal thanking me for my purchase.

It's quite possibly the least hype looking month of Choice I've ever seen.

I don't know what changed, but my self-hosted Gitea instance has wrecked itself.

It seems to be an issue somewhere with Cloudflare DNS, because LetsEncrypt keeps trying to dial a random cloudflare (nameserver?) IP instead of the actual public IP I've set on the A record...

I can't figure it out, and I can't find anyone having the same issue either.
This was all just working like 3 days ago.

Bollocks.

@flwwhtrbt I believe @killyourfm was floating a similar retro games club idea recently too, although I'm not sure if it was mainly targeting retro hardware?

Could be worth checking out either way!

Just watched the season finale of Dexter: Original Sin, pretty decent prequel to the original show.

The casting (outside of Christian Slater as Harry) was really faithful to the original cast, and while it wasn't groundbreaking it done a great job of letting us see things that were talked about in the original.

I'm just wondering if they'll make another season of the prequel, or if this was a one-time deal. It feels like they left enough space in the timeline to go either way.
