I started with kiwami. There was a perceptible downgrade when I played the first non kiwami Yakuza 3 however

One thing I love about the series is how detailed they are with food and drinks.

I did this. Still playing through them all by release date

I’m in agreement. I think where our opinions differ is that I’m not worried about consumer electronics in this new economic and political reality. And the reason I’m not worried is that I know it’s fucked.

We will not see the type of economy that we have been used to for quite some time. And if the last democrat admin is anything to consider, then I doubt these insane new regulations will be repealed even if the Republicans lost power in 4 years.

I think there are much greater concerns than consumer electronics and now is the time to plan for them.

I think I might get the point…but I think we are past trying to build budget friendly PCs for gamers wanting to play the latest AAA titles.

As a gamer myself, it’s sad but I’m tightening up my belt and preparing for much worse economic consequences. Like what a 100% tariff on Taiwan made chips will mean for the US military budget and the national debt.

Honestly, I’m anticipating buying junk hardware for at least the next 4 years that’s being auctioned off by companies that are not able to deal with the new economic hardships that this and other decisions are going to create. I doubt I’m going to be able to play the latest games nor will I be able to afford them. Luckily I have a backlog of games and there are a lot of books I want to read too.

I think one of the bigger consequences of this in terms of pure compute is people not being able to self host open source LLMs and similar models offline. As I think this will soon become something that’s expected to have access to in the next couple of years.

I am for getting tech you need when you need it. I’m against buying tech you might want to have now just in case it cost more money in the future.

If you are really concerned about future costs of essential items that you will die without, then I suggest stocking up your pantry with shelf stable food as much as you can and researching what you can do to help your local community grow their own food.

You know what’s cheaper than a $2000 RTX 5090? Not spending money or upgrading unless you actually need to.

Both Porco Rosso and sound of music are excellent films for kids of you want to start to talk to them about fascism.

Anyone know of more?

I’m not from Finland but I’ve been playing a lot of My Summer Car and just figured out how to take a sauna and got the Welcome to Finland achievement.

My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it’s closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won’t be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

When you get home, she turns on the TV and it’s 3/4 of the way through a rerun of the Beetlejuice animated show premier. You hear your mom cough and light another.

Its not Minecraft but you might be interested in Voxelibre which is a game made using [Luanti (formerly Minetest)] (https://www.luanti.org/).

It has a Lemmy community: https://lemm.ee/c/voxelibre

I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.

So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.

If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.

Some websites don’t immediately work on my computer because I use Firefox with noscript. Does that mean I should have a special device from lego so I can reliably view Lego.com?

Just look at the amount of contributors and releases since the fork. Its more than just an archive.

You do not want your entire family to get the shits with you just because you couldn’t find better shrooms

Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.

Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.

At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.

I use Arch BTW, so I just use ryujinx from the AUR. The upstream git repo was updated to one that is in active development and is working better than ever.

Here are the latest stable releases for all platforms

Also, fuck Google. I’ve been removing the word from my lexicon. I say, let me search (or research) that instead
