That, or GPS, but they’re more expensive

They talk about Apple products, but that’s not something I concern myself about. I just like vibing with Grey’s beautiful mind

He’s still in the Cortex podcast :)

CGP Grey might be one of the most interesting people to ever have lived. I cannot get enough of his podcasts. I still miss Hello Internet dearly.

I think I’ve seen the video he’s referring to. It was good background noise for when I explored the underworld in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (took ages!)

I guess that when you come from a land of tweaking things to juuust the way you like it, any hindrance to this would be annoying

Well… There’s yer problem

You must mean 7.5 hours

Where in my comment does it state that I don’t pay indie devs?

I spend money on Steam, but I have no illusions* that I’m not owning the things I get there.

I’d much rather have a title on GOG than Steam. At least there I get to keep it.

I was thinking of sites like GOG when I wrote my comment.

I have never heard of a Steam game you could run without having Steam installed

Buy second hand.

In my country first party titles go for $60 and all the way to $90

Second hand prices for these are often between $30 and $40.

And you can always sell those used games, and not really lose much (if any) money in the process.

Ps. Prices will fall even more when Switch 2 comes out next year. Hopefully it will be a repeat of the post-Wii days, where most Wii games were dirt cheap.

I purchased it purely as an all-in-one indie game player for the television, that had a nice form factor. Was easy to connect with controllers, and relatively high-end.

I don’t really like playing on it’s joysticks and buttons, but that doesn’t matter when I only really use it docked.

It’s nice with a relatively high-end console when on the go. I usually bring a controller along for this, though.

It was expensive, but performs exactly as advertised.

Have I got some good news for you then.

One cannot buy digital content with DRM, only rent it.

It’s impossible to regret acquisitions you’ve never made.

Point in case. You can sell on your physical games. Not so much the digital ones.

All that said, I too use Steam, just not mainly anymore.

Edit: Holy smokes did this blow up! I’m happy to drive engagement here on the fediverse, albeit I do believe I struck a nerve. Either that, or some people have poor reading capabilities - I see the comments refuting something I haven’t said.

Except parking minimums

Found yer problem

You keep saying lemmy is a site. It’s just an implementation of a protocol. There are many Lemmys in ‘Lemmy’

Also, no one’s stopping any community from growing. If they were to grow, the people you mention will just make new smaller communities, just like the same kinds of people did on Reddit.

After Sync for Lemmy, I feel like Reddit continued under a new name.

YMMV I guess

The post clearly asked for the worst names, not the very best /s

Beautiful.

I own a car.

I still bike every day to work.

This comic is very unrelatable
