I just quit cold turkey and moved to lemmy fulltime. I miss some communities but whatev, its no biggie.

I’m sceptical. With all the added complexity of a foldable, the specs are probably gonna be below average to absymal. I’d love to be proven wrong tho.

Rough is my understatement. My $200 gamble on embracer stock is now worth about $40 lol

How many times do we have to go over this? Just don’t fuck with my hardware post-purchase with sketchy updates.

HL2 Ep 2 vibes… I dig it

00:00 is the time with the new (“tomorrow”) date, 24:00 is the time with the old (“yesterday”) date.

24:00 isnt really used, in my experience. Also, many people dont mentally switch dates until they went to bed.

What monopoly? M$ revenue + Nintendo revenue = Sony Gaming revenue

If anything, playing field just got level, as M$ post merger will be about the same size Sony is.

Activision waa such a piece of shit, I m actually very excited for this. They shitcanned Bobby too. It can only get better.

Well the gas thing is complicated. Nearly every middle european country heavily relied on russian gas bc it was so damn cheap and gave them a competitive advantage. Europe was like a junkie on the needle “oh its not so bad nothing will happen”. But the invasion was a wake up call, and action was taken. There is still much to do, dont get me wrong, but we have come a long way. Russian invasion finally paved the way to collective european action and acquisitions on the gas market and that has helped to prevent blackouts (that Russia no doubt wanted) and tame the insane prices we had for a while a little. Thing is, there isnt many good reliable options for the amounts of gas europe needs. Norway stepped in big time (and they are the only really reliable and democratic country delivering large quantities). Middle east countries come with their own problems and unreliablities and american LNG is very expensive bc of transport (and building LNG terminals in the capacity now required takes time). In the long run, we just need to use less fossil fuels and more renewables, but that cant be done in a year or even 10 years.

Merkel played Putin for a fool with the Minsk treaty. Putin was dishonest in accepting the treaty, he always planned for a larger scale landgrab later on and started preparing for it. What he didn’t see coming was that the west, especially Merkel (these two really hated each others guts) saw right through his lies and NATO started preparing Ukraine for the coming invasion. Add to this the lies and corruption of the russian agents in Ukraine, who pocketed funds meant to prepare the landgrab by paying off locals, and you have the gigantic failure the planned “one week special military operation” has become.
