@Suiseiseki It's not like you have a lot of choice though. There are very few FOSS games out there, and they certainly can't compare with the commercial offering. It's not what I like it to be, but it's the reality.

@cameron_bosch
People are surprisingly resourceful. I remember when 1k USD smartphones came out and could not fathom there would be much a market for it and there we are. Of course we don't know how well the Switch 2 will do, but it's not in the outlandish pricing territory

@cameron_bosch what happened around 2019? 😉

@cameron_bosch good that people finally wake up on the fact that Nintendo is nothing like the characters from their games. It's a pretty despicable company.

@cameron_bosch DMCA laws are asymmetrical. It's costs nothing to file one, and there is no risk associated with false claims. You gotta thank the Patriot Act for that.

Apparently Nvidia dropped 32-bit Physx support in the 50x series, and many older games now run like shit: https://www.resetera.com/threads/rtx-50-series-gpus-have-dropped-support-for-32-bit-physx-many-older-pc-games-are-impacted-mirrors-edge-borderlands-etc.1111698/

@hj shit happens!

@hj it's a Friday poll

@thomasfuchs Wikimedia has also no reason to spend as much as they do - they don't need to be located in SV, they don't need remotely as many engineers as they employ, so seeing them beg every year is just bad taste

@brrbrr @thomasfuchs

@brrbrr @thomasfuchs what claim?
