Technology@lemmy.world•Xbox Game Pass Lost "Millions Of Subscribers" After Last Year's 50% Price HikeEnglish
214·6 hours agoDuh?
You nerds were so preoccupied with screeching at Microsoft you all mostly missed 2-3 years worth of games for pennies on the dollar.
For years you could buy up to 3 years of game pass ultimate for about $2 a month and I got literally over 3k worth of games at launch for basically free/pennies. You’d have to be a moron to not jump on it.
Of course the count was going to go down. That was the strategy. It was never sustainable.
I’m getting $250 for my latest one. Got $700 for my pixel 5(I think). 🤷♂️
Remember, if you copy and paste from stack, you’re a bad developer.
Too many developers think they code better than they do.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The gaming industry didn't remove cheat codes because they broke game balance, they removed them so they could sell those exact same advantages back to us as microtransactions.
15·1 day agoDidn’t think you’d get torn apart on this one, did ya. I’ve found most games these days do MTX pretty fairly. Even f2p typically at worst will be xp bumps in leveling.
I don’t carry my id and digital state ID s are out either way.

216·3 days agoThen don’t be prejudice and invent worries about how the code was generated. We have prs for a reason.
Didn’t have to carry a phone for decades.
Now I don’t have to carry a wallet and multiple cards 🤷♂️

Technology@lemmy.world•How a USB-connected speaker can infect a PC without ever being touchedEnglish
14·4 days agoThese are probably garbage, but some people have money and understand that a good set of speakers is more important than the latest GPU for immersion 🤷♂️
It’s ~$7300. Obviously you could get pizza cheaper, but as a splurge this is a nice car payment.
I’m sure all of it conjecture or the Internet going wild.
I’ve seen fucked up shit come out from them but absolutely nothing that is going to bring anyone down in court.
I’ll take whatever drugs this guy is on.

Global News@lemmy.zip•World Cup fans barred from bringing water bottles into stadiaEnglish
11·6 days agoDefinitely a power trip and just not some person who can’t give a fuck what the manager wants this week and getting into another fight over a stupid policy they don’t actually give a fuck about. And the TSA management definitely doesn’t change the rules each week.
Go right at them and make em miserable. They wanted to ruin your day with the bag. And you definitely know what’s going on in their life to make them give a fuck about your bag, and it’s to cause you rage.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy gamesEnglish

Be a random developer and release a successful game without steam at all.
Dumb ass.
Chads in here love to axe billionaires until it’s this guy.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Dog shoots woman with shotgun at Nebraska convenience storeEnglish
11·8 days agoSecond time I’ve needed to go full circle with someone.
iTs NoT tHe GuNs FaUlT iTs tHe PeOpLe 🙄🙄🙄
That is the comment I was addressing. It was the person’s fault. It was negligence and illegal. Words have meaning.
If you’re afraid of shooting yourself that’s all entirely tangential direction you went.

1·8 days agoNo. You’re conflating with non accidental discharge. The odds of you getting shot, accidentally are near nil.




Pedantic nerd meme. This get all the traction lol.
