"We want more money." There, that's the article.

Which one is that? Mario Kart?

I don't think I've ever been this disinterested in a Nintendo console and I bought the WiiU. So far we have:

  • Insane price tags: 80$ to buy games digitally? And 90$ for physical? This isn't how you stop piracy, it's how you start it.
  • The tech demo costs money. Why? Sure, they explained why. Just not very well.
  • That Nintendo-Denuvo deal from 2023 is still a thing. Thankfully, no games on the Switch have implemented Denuvo. With the Switch 2 coming out, I'm not certain this will remain the case.
  • Far as I can tell, they did next to nothing to fix the joycon drift. The one big problem with the Switch 1.

Also, the launch titles are kind of sparse. Most are rehashes of existing Switch 1 games, with two or three exceptions. Not for me, I guess.

Just finished Yakuza 0 and am psyched to start Yakuza Kiwami (which is a remake of the first Yakuza game). The action is soo good. Beating the shit out of enemies is already satisfying enough, but where it gets really good is when you build up something called a Heat meter as you're fighting. Once it builds up, you get access to Heat Actions and they are nuts.

I mean just look at this madness (spoilers for move unlocks)!

They go in a quantum state, existing and not-existing at the same time until someone perceives them, at which point they go into one of the two quantum superpositions: being or not being.

Or nothing would happen, idfk.

So many downvotes. I thought it was funny! But I suppose some people might need context:

Congrats on graduating! And to answer your question: no, it's not too late. However, fair warning: it does seem to get harder to develop a social life the older you get. But by no means impossible.

Are you talking about archinstall or have they actually automated the default installation method?

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Do yourself a favour and install it on a virtual machine first. Screwing up an install on Arch is frighteningly easy. The Arch Wiki is your friend, use it. Also, read the installation instructions before you begin the installation, not during. If this sounds like too much of a headache (understandably so), then give EndeavourOS a whirl.

And we should care what this man says...why exactly?

 

Big news for VF fans. Yes, both of us.

In all seriousness, this is probably my favourite 3D fighter and I'm eager to see how it comes out!

 

It happens all the frickin' time. Someone wants to convert a PDF file to Word. Fine, we have tools for that, but depending on the quality of the PDF, the resulting text may contain some errors or just complete gibberish. But then you find out that they had the original Word file all along. I hate that so much.

And now today happens! But this time it's different. Someone wants to convert a PDF... to an Excel file. Are you fucking kidding me right now? I have an urge to run down the office with a megaphone screaming "WE DO NOT EDIT PDF FILES! WE MAKE PDFS WHEN WE'RE DONE EDITING THE DOCUMENT!".

Our department keeps refusing conversions from PDFs to other formats, because the conversion is not always accurate or reliable, so we direct our users to the tools we have available for this sort of thing, while clearly pointing out the downsides of the conversion process and explicitly stating that ensuring the accuracy of the conversion is the responsibility of said user, not our department. Because, inevitably, the software WILL make some mistakes. Os become zeroes, 5 becomes the letter S and don't even get me started on the whole capital i, lower l and number 1 situation.

And despite all of this, despite all the warnings and examples of failings in the past, nobody seems to get through their hollow skulls that they should avoid editing and converting PDFs just because of how much of a pain in the ass it is! Ugh.

 

So, really, a win for everybody.

 
 

This is an email I came across at work. I seriously can't believe they're trying to justify being stressed. It may not be as caustic as other posts you see on here, but it still kinda pissed me off.

 

I mean specifically, what criteria does a webpage have to fulfill for it to be considered web3 compliant?

Because all I see around the web are people waxing poetic about freedom, ownership and whatnot without really saying anything. There's no consensus, there's no whitepaper, just... vague, nondescript ideas.

 

I tried setting one up with Zeus, twice, but I couldn't figure it out.
