Yes, I’ve seen that one. This might be either a parody, or some idiot who tried to recreate it

Saudi progress has been just PR, eg. Black Panther in cinema, women driving. Then they chop up a journalist in Turkey, ooops.
MBS is a dictator, and his country is a shithole in the desert.

It’s a bit sad, as Ubisoft made some of my favorite games growing up. I remember playing AC Black Flag and Far Cry 3 10+ years ago, and wanting to move to a tropical island after

Mostly it’s the lack of competition.
On one hand, regulators allowed big companies to become monopolies, so we don’t have a choice. Imagine if instagram and whatsapp were not part of facebook, how different social media would be? Or if bumble and hinge were competing with tinder, not just all being a part of match.com.
And on the other hand, we have examples like the console “war”, where Xbox messed up this generation so hard, that Sony now can do whatever they want.

They are doing this because a rotten corpse doesn’t force them to compete, they can do whatever they want. If MS didn’t shit the bed with the Series X/S, Sony would be trying harder to please customers, or at least not actively screwing them (see also: 800 EUR PS5 Pro without disc drive or vertical stand).

I ended up around 1.3 per can, ordered 3 boxes with some discount. Will order one again soon, as they are throwing me another discount if I leave a review.
Defintely not cheap, but also not too far from brand name energy drink prices in Germany. Of course in Easter EU you can get Hell or something similar for around 0.5-0.6, it’s hard to beat that.

For Europe it’s 800 EUR + disc drive + vertical stand, almost 1k in total. No thanks, Sony 🤡

You are actually right. I tried this game as a friend liked it, and it basically does everything that COD does, but for free, so it’s not the worst way for somebody to spend their time online. Still, I imagine Ubi execs promised to dethrone every other shooter and have 100 million payers to milk for MTX.

Ubisoft’s free version of COD. I tried it as a friend was raving about it, tbh it’s a fine game if somebody likes this style. The character’s from the Ubi universe are just a gimmick, most play the same

Interesting, for me it was the opposite.
When I had to go back to the office, I started burning cooking oil and truck tires in my backyard every weekend, so my ecological footprint increased significantly

I tried Brite, a bit more healthier version of energy drinks, and I’m feeling much better not forcing myself to drink what tastes like battery acid in the morning. Still, the best would be to just stay away from caffeine, I had some periods like that lasting several months, was feeling great, and sleeping great

Best way to spend my valuable free time on a Sunday afternoon
I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday. Key points: -Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins). -So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds. -The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture. -The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to. -The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that. -The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode. -The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.
I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy. I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction. So thanks Steve! (If it’s not too much to ask, please take a look at how you could improve instagram, you could save another 15 minute of my day)
