Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•"Valve’s new Steam Controller has a major problem for PC games not on Steam"
21·14 days agoYep, same. I had money saved up since the announcement to buy the controller when it launches, but this is seriously making me consider just buying and Xbox controller instead

Just Post@lemmy.world•I'm not smart enough to invent time travel, but I still have some ideas.
41·16 days agoI mean it all depends on your point of reference. If you’re trying to teach about the solar system and the heliocentric model then yeah, the sun is stationary since
Are force ghosts supposed to be in Jedi heaven? I always thought they were just Jedi powerful enough to retain their consciousness after being returned to the force in their death

Games@lemmy.world•Why is gaming becoming so expensive? The answer is found in AIEnglish
3·1 month agoSorry, I was just answering your question and honestly didn’t mean it to sound agressive. English isn’t my native language so apologies if that came across as mean spirited, that wasn’t my intention

62·1 month agoYes, it’s a mainstream center-left newspaper in the UK, definitely not fringe or a tabloid
I think a big part of his story is that his mother wasn’t fucked actually

Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streetsEnglish
8·1 month agoSame thing in France. I also live and Paris and don’t really know what the other commenter is talking about: bikes and electric scooters are not supposed to be ridden on the sidewalk, and from my experience rarely are if there’s an available bike lane. The only places I regularly see bikes on the sidewalk are those where the road infrastructure makes it too dangerous to ride a bike on a street
Can you grab a couple for me as well while you’re in the caveat store?

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Basically, they’re asking their users to help train their AI
21·2 months agoYoutube is honestly driving me nuts with its automatic titles translation. If I’m going to watch an hour-long video essay in english, I’m also capable of reading a two-word title in the same language, thank you very much. It feels kind of insulting to be honest

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Yes, Paradox are aware that a “barrage of DLCs” can scare away new players, for all their bundles and discountsEnglish
19·3 months agoThe issue to me is that the discounts aren’t even that interesting. I would love to get back into CK3 to see how it evolved since launch, but even during a big sale buying a few of the most impactful DLCs would cost me as much as a brand new game.
That’s interesting. Do you manage to land those hits consistently once the element of surprise is gone? I also practice historical fencing (but I mostly do arming sword and langes messer, though I’ve occasionally dabbled with rapier), and my experience has been that taller people usually have the reach advantage.
Ducking and thrusting straight ahead of you makes basic geometry work in your favour for compensating the reach disadvantage (your arm has a 90° angle giving you maximum range), but it also massively exposes your head of your first hit doesn’t land, and prevents you from using footwork for a few seconds. Once your opponent’s has figured out your strategy it would seem like he would just have to stay a bit out of reach and counter-attack/riposte while you recover from your ducking
I would hoard hobbyist supplies and then never use them











Well, I had no idea this existed until reading your post, so my first guess would be lack of / bad marketing
