Came here to say the same. I think this is usually the go-to solution for using controllers with emulators.

Sadly we are well into the era of fragmented social media and echo chambers. It was always going to end up like this. Still, I hear you. Social media was more fun when everyone was on the same platforms.

Nice nice nice. Thank you for your thoughts! I was just really curious. Haha

yeah? how well does that work for you? Is it like super cool, or what?

Although most of the focus in the media and elsewhere is on smart glasses like Google Glass and now Meta/Ray-Ban’s offerings, there are others too that fall under this umbrella term. Certain auto-darkening sunglasses are called ‘smart glasses’, while others are designed to act more like portable screens that are used with a laptop or other computer system. Then there are the augmented- and mixed-reality glasses, which come in a wide variety of forms and shapes. None of these are the camera-equipped types that we discussed here, of course, and thus do not carry the same stigma.

Obviously the camera-equipped models are concerning for a whole host of reasons, but i did not realize there were companies making these camera-less AR glasses that function like lighter VR headsets. Something like the Viture Luma actually seems like it could be a cool alternative to a gaming monitor. The price is comparable, just plug in via USB-C. I wonder what that would be like? Just leaning back in the computer chair and the monitor leans back with you…sounds pretty nice, tbh.

back when Iwata was in charge and Nintendo was still cool

this is the kind of humor i come to lemmy for

Pritchard is the final boss in Super Mario Wonder, not enough people talk about this. Really wild that they anticipated this change that far ahead.

genuinely just trying to clarify! Maybe you were using it for an application that I had not considered, in which it is clunkier. I only use it intermittently for screenshotting random things. At work we use Snagit so I don’t have to lean on the Windows snipping tool so much.

Snipping tool? The one where you hit Win+Shift+S, draw a rectangle, and then it snips to your clipboard? That’s the “unintuitive” snipping tool you’re referring to?

I think that’s totally fair. I had the same experience with Middle Earth: Shadow of War. I got my fill with the first one, the second one just felt like more of the same.

In this case, I never played the first one, and I think I’m only hyped bc I had just finished watching Blue Eye Samurai around the same time that the first Yotei trailer dropped. I’m still waiting until the PC drop though, but I think it’ll be fun open world junk food when I get around to it.

I have not played Civ 7 but i’ve seen a lot of it played. As someone who has only dipped my toe into Civ over the years, Civ 7 actually seems pretty interesting to me. Just the core concept of changing cultures as the game goes on, and ending up with a sort of hybrid of all the cultures that came before, is really compelling to me. It’s interesting to here your take as someone that seems to have played more of it.

To me, the biggest issue with the game right now seems to be the lack of a space age, as that just makes the endgame seem very abridged. What is the biggest issue with the game for you specifically? I know you said changing too much at once was a mistake, but you seemed to be speaking to their overall strategy more than anything.

holy shit, am I missing something or is this a big deal? Is this the main thing that has had Microsoft on the BDS list?

one would think Nintendo would want to get back at the Trump admin for fucking with their money so much via tariffs. but I guess they don’t see it that way. Nintendo has always been cautious/conservative to a fault.

my understanding is that some Nintendo execs are green card holders, so this will be the one time they don’t sue anybody.

Thank you, I appreciate the time you put into researching and debunking this! Consider my mind changed

I hear you, but ime, the people that are this obsessed with trophies would LOVE to have exclusive merch to show off to their friends. So for me, it’s more of a “good for them. anyway…”

Especially not ones that seem to be drifting towards supporting Israel.

I think this is the critical point. Women candidates will continue to struggle with voters that are center to center-right, so a woman presidential candidate really needs to have broad appeal on the left to succeed. They can’t afford to lose many, if any, likely leftist or liberal voters. Both Harris and Clinton were deeply unpopular with the American Left. Many were willing to swallow their pride to vote for Harris, but then she refused to call a genocide a genocide, and many dropped their support in response. A female candidate cannot afford to alienate leftists on such a critical issue.

They aren’t hiking the price on the premium Disney-Hulu-HBO bundle, which remains my only streaming subscription. And TBH it would already be HBO only if my father-in-law wasn’t paying for the Disney/Hulu half of that subscription. Once they hike the price on that bundle, they will probably lose me all the way.

EDIT: Lol psych, I just got an email from them. They are also hiking the price on that bundle, to $32.99. Bye bye, Disney!
