  • I'd like there to be an OLED option for people who use handheld mode heavily and want to pay more for a better display. But for the base model, it makes total sense for it to be an LCD display. That's just prudent, as the average player probably doesn't care and wants to pay less. Especially parents buying this at Christmas.

  • $360B on nuclear subs, locking into US military strategy, opening up our country to US troops and military hardware, we ask them to free an Australian citizen and the US says piss off!

    Jump

  • Yeah and characterizing the US response as "piss off" is melodramatic at best

  • Awesome information, thank you so much!

  • Thanks, I didn't realize there was an expansion. I'm not sure if GamePass includes it so I'll look into it.

  • President who threatened to eat his opponent to attend upcoming Russia-Africa summit, while most invited leaders decline

    Jump

  • IMO it's very condescending that there is a Russia-Africa summit where all the leaders of Africa are summoned to St Petersburg (and the US does the exact same thing with the US-Africa summit). As if they need to come and pay tribute.

  • South Korea has given up on talking to the North

    Jump

  • Maybe "The US and its allies"?

    I mean Japan is typically included as part of The West, and it is to the east of China. Cuba is in the western hemisphere, but it is Marxist-Leninist. I don't think directional terms of the globe make as much sense in the 21st century as they did in the premodern world.

  • You're right, sorry about that! It does! I removed my comment.

  • Well yes, you are definitely exaggerating if you are suggesting that half the planet is a 'death cult'. Maybe if you want to say that the foreign policy establishment in certain countries is, then it would be a more reasonable statement.

    I don't think that "the West" is even a useful term.

    Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned

    Jump

  • It must be incredibly frustrating to be the new CEO that he just appointed, only to have him continuing to run his mouth and make ruinous decisions that tie your hands.

  • Can spez really be that stupid?

    Jump

  • It's really apparent that Spez and the rest of the admin team don't actually use Reddit on a day to day basis. Their decisions are like some consultant coming in and recommending ideas.

    What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I feel this way about referees/umpires in sports too. The best ones aren't flashy but just enforce the rules.

  • What gaming console / platform do you prefer?

    Jump

  • Nintendo 3DS is my favorite of all time 😁

  • What are some useful skills or hobbies that anyone can learn for free?

    Jump

  • In the US, all AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts will dispose of your oil for free. Also, most municipalities will take it at special centers (same place where you might go to dispose of electronics).

    Personally I have a designated where I let the oil collect from multiple oil changes, and then I take it to the county landfill maybe once every two years when there's enough to justify a trip.

    It's a small hassle, but worth it IMO. Just depends on what is available to you.

  • What are some useful skills or hobbies that anyone can learn for free?

    Jump

  • You can teach yourself how to change the oil on your car simply by watching YouTube videos. And then all you need to buy are a few basic supplies, and you'll be able to change your oil for life. Oil changes are either absurdly expensive (dealership) or done half-assed (Jiffy Lube), so doing it yourself gives you a job done right for pennies on the dollar.

    And if you find that you have a knack for it, you can teach yourself more basic maintenance jobs like changing brake pads.

  • Sweden in NATO? Maybe not

  • Just want to note that the link is an opinion piece, not a news article.

  • Reddit is replacing / modifying the Reddit gold feature, what are your thoughts ?

    Jump

  • I think it's very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.

    Why on Earth would you announce this now when you're not ready for whatever is coming next? It's like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.

    I'm only half joking that I'm expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called "Links" next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.

  • Reddit kills awards and coins

    Jump

  • It's so on-brand for Reddit to announce killing these features without any explanation of what is to take its place. Just a vague mention of more communication "in the coming months".

    How exciting.

    Reminds me of when they killed Reddit Gifts/Secret Santa.

    Reddit and Twitter are racing to see who can kill themselves faster.

  • Twitter, Threads, and the misunderstood nature of engineering

    Jump

  • True in society at large, but to be fair, I don't think this post is trying to be "Team Threads" as much as it's trying to point out the consequences of the very different decisions they made. And hopefully in the future, some stupid CEO will think twice when trying to implement shit like Elon Musk did.

  • Asobo Studio Hints at Third A Plague Tale Game with Recent Job Listings - Try Hard Guides

    Jump

  • For better or for worse, the Plague Tale games are my favorite games of all time. I'm certainly not claiming that they're the best, they're just my favorite. Love the fairly short length, love the attention to detail with the setting, love the characters, the storytelling, just everything about it.

    Asobo Studio's work is incredible for being pretty much indie developers. Not only did they do these two games, but they did freaking Flight Sim 2020 for Microsoft!

    Can't wait for Plague Tale 3.
