Fair point. With that in mind, my new prediction is that Trump’s DOJ will start a new case against Google, and then spend two years tripping over their feet before landing at the exact same point.

eeeexactly. Love when a corporation induces artificial scarcity and it comes back to bite them in the ass. Now granted…most people that want to play bloodborne on PC probably already paid for the PS4 version, so all Sony is really missing out on is EXTRA money. Or maybe they’re just hoping Bloodborne Remake 2028 will be a PS6 system seller.

wow good thing Russia won the US election to end sanctions, then.

shadPS4 emulator is coming to the rescue, don’t worry. I feel like we’ll see the whole game playable at 60fps in that emulator within a years’ time, Sony be damned.

Yeah, it’s like they are creating a GOG seal for games that are basically only available because of the special work that GOG does.

sorry i don’t know star trek, so i do not know who this woman is (fake nerd, i know). reverse image search only narrowed it down to star trek, and there are too were too many different star trek shows to figure it out without extensive research. please feel free to impress the class below with your star trek knowledge.

It doesn’t load in my Lemmy app, but confirmed it does work in a browser.

This ain’t a photo of my own chonks. your beanbag is probably the better choice. my own cats prefer a papasan chair and a window ledge, respectively. lol

For the chonks, of course

Counterpoint: both of those ideas being patented meant no competitor could use them while the ideas were relevant. And in both cases, the patenting company made like one promising example of the patented idea and then barely used it after that. Wouldn’t it have been better for consumers if we could have had loading screen minigames back when long loading screens were still relevant?

I completely agree. In my memory the third panel doesn’t exist.

The three patents—all filed in Japan between May and July 2024—draw similarities between Palworld and 2022’s 2022’s Pokémon Legends: Arceus specifically. Their descriptions concern game mechanics like “riding an object” or throwing a ball to capture and possess a character in virtual spaces.

Wait…so the patents didn’t even exist when Palworld was released into EA? or am I missing something?

That’s what has kept my partner on x. They also go on way less frequently than they used to, but there’s still some fandom stuff that is only there.

Paradox posted this the other day: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/news/traffic-breach-statement

I think it’s just called “Traffic”? It’s still early days for CS2 mods, not that weird for a mod to have such a generic name.

it’s the new gaming king! Still riding high on my 5800X3D personally, that was a GOAT purchase. I know the AM5 counterparts are beating it out on all the charts, but videos like this highlight how it is still better than the majority of CPUs when it comes to gaming performance.

like what was the tech that caused such a leap? They talk about how they switched up the x3D cache configuration - it used to be stacked above the main part of the chip with some sort of insulation in between, but they found a way to remove the insulation and put the 3D cache on the underside of the chip. I’m no expert and i watched the video yesterday, so sorry if that explanation isn’t clear. Effectively, they found a way to bring the 3D cache “closer” to the cores, which shortens the time it takes for the cores to communicate with the cache.

qualified due to autism? You have not explicitly said your reasons for seeking MAID, and whatever they are, I’m sure that you know what you are doing. I just want you to know that I believe autistic people are one of greatest natural gifts that the world has given us. Y’all have a gift to see the world in a refreshingly-different way from everyone else, and there are many autistic folks in my life that I love dearly. Many of them have survived some very dark phases in their lives, where everything seemed hopeless, and yet today they are the happiest people I know.

Whatever you end up doing, I just want you to know that I believe your existence is a treasure to this world, and many others do as well. But I don’t know anything about the rest of your situation, and I respect whatever you decide to with your own life.

Ugh i had no clue and this makes me so sad to hear, you are such a cornerstone for this community I can’t speak to all of the ways that you have “served” over the years, but your service here has not gone unnoticed. I don’t pray, but i’m holding you in my thoughts today ❤

we don’t talk about him
