I mean not really. Even if they have a rough idea of how many times their game has been pirated by looking at seeder counts on torrents or whatever, theyre definitely not taking those numbers as a win and saying “look how many people didnt pay for our product, that just proves everyone really wants it”. Theyre comparing sales numbers.

I wonder if its some regex mistake where because it has the letter ‘s h i t’ in that order even though theres letters in between, it got flagged.

Somebody else also said it but the steam deck is amazing. Mid level pc performance that can handle almost all new games, and you can use a dock and have it set up just like a console. I use mine all yhe time with bluetooth ps4 controllers. Much bigger games library+being able to emulate so many older consoles makes it a no brainer i think.

This specific ad is like a 15 year old meme at this point and is likely incredibly fake though.

This is such a bad faith comment. Im not a hexbear user but my instance is federated with them and ive interacted with lots of their posts. Go into any post on hexbear and youll see tons of examples of them disagreeing WITH EACHOTHER. they commonly have huge arguments in the comments and as long as everyone is civil and not arguing in bad faith noone gets banned and noone gets urt feelings. Stop lying and using hexbear as the lemmy boogeyman because its a bad look.

Have you not heard of a router? Sure i have an internet connection but i wouldnt have to. Lots of people have subnetworks that are isolated from outside network access, and my router would still be able to stream from my computer to my laptop even if my internet was down or i unplugged the modem. The last time they did scheduled maintenance on my internet thats exactly what i did, i streamed things that i had previously downloaded and saved on a different computer.

Literally if my “ai based adblocker” could block ads originating from another server, why wouldnt it be able to block hundreds of gigabytes of javascript? Why would i even let that download in the first place?

If youre only streaming it within your home network that could still be very much offline…

Microsoft mjght have been better than thwy are now then, but they were NEVER fun and cool. Dont be gaslit.

Steam deck. Not as cheap as an ambernic or raspberry pi, but I’ve been blown away by how painless and plug and play everything is, and I’ve played games on it from every console generation up to ps3 so far, plus modern pc games. Steaminput makes controller settings a breeze even for games or applications that don’t have good input settings. I knew I’d like it before I got one last year, but since then I can’t say enough good things about it, it’s honestly everything I dreamed of as a kid playing video games, almost every game under the sun all in one handheld package, it’s honestly incredible.

Lots of controllers have gyroscopes these days. The ones I’ve personally used are switch, ds4 and steam deck, but I assume it’s a pretty regular feature on newer controllers these days too.

Yeah, and the ones that did are probably the bottom of the barrel.

I usually do this anyway to a certain extent, at least I kinda rephrase what I said, in case them asking ‘what’ wasn’t because they didn’t hear me but because they didn’t understand. Then if their brain does catch up they get two different versions of my message :)

I mean sure it would? That’s rhe whole point is that exponential growth quickly reaches massive quantities. Like literally after 120 days I doubt that many lilypads would fit on earth.

If it takes 120 days to be covered thats a huge fucking pond.

I mean the way I’ve seen it in a lot of grocery stores is there is a separate, often walk in cooler for single cans/small cases of imports or more specialty beers, and then an aisle with big cases of the common beers that arent cold. I’ve also seen a store where half the aisle was stand up refrigerated shelves and half was unrefridgerated for the bigger cases, which I assume is happening here.
