I have never seen a bank card that doesn’t use Visa or Mastercard, even if we wanted to, it would be almost impossible to use an alternative.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game StudiosEnglish
622·7 months agoNintendo are horrible to consumers but at least they understand the value of their staff. That’s something I value more from a company. (depending on the extent of their anti-consumer practices, nintendo have definetly gone too far with their’s)

Games@sh.itjust.works•AI-generated reviews on Steam are becoming a problemEnglish
11·7 months agoSteam already does stuff similar to this? Reviews flagged as “suspicious” aren’t deleted but aren’t included in the overall score instead, and a notice is put next to the overall score when this happens. The same is true for reviews made by people who got the game with a key.
Why not extend this? Like you said, most bots have low play time, valve could exclude (but not delete) reviews with low play time. I agree that doing something like this is a slippery slope towards mobile app store reviews but if it’s done right then it is a net positive.

Games@sh.itjust.works•AI-generated reviews on Steam are becoming a problemEnglish
18·7 months agoThe main problem is that those reviews are still included in the overall review score. I think you can filter out low play time but that’s an extra step most won’t take (because they shouldn’t need to)

Yep, I think I counted at one point and half of the photos on my phone are pets

xkcd@lemmy.world•What if the moon turned into a black hole?English
4·7 months agoIt probably got turned into a black hole through the same method everything else happens in this series:
Magic. In the baseball video he specifies that magic is what causes stuff to happen, after the magic, it’s all normal physics
What the fuck, it isn’t satire? And other sites are writing articles on it?

Games@sh.itjust.works•PC Gamer taking a jab at the industryEnglish
7·8 months agoIt currently applies most to the game and tech industries
Putting this in a seperate comment because it is unrelated but that is a completely acceptable reason to hate part 2. (Like most good stories) it’s not made for everyone.
I think the reason you (and others who dislike part 2) were (wrongfully) labeled as a bigot is because most the hate for the game came after the leaks and before the release, so all people knew was that
spoiler
They’re killing off the male main character, that’s so woke!!!
and all reasonable criticism that came after were unfortunately assumed to be in that group.
Was trying to avoid spoilers (even though most people know the scene, but some don’t) but I forgot about spoiler tags (probably because they only work half the time in boost)

Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them allEnglish
4·8 months agoExcluding steam because even playstation release exclusives on steam now, Starfield is (was? I don’t know if it released on ps later on) xbox exclusive. Out of Zenimax’s library, that is probably the game that you would want the least as an exclusive but at least it is something (they needed something after spending US$7.5 billion on them)
From what I have heard, that scene wasn’t adapted very well into tv
Typing your own code manually? Unheard of!
I really like this game, but… yeah

Games@sh.itjust.works•Nintendo suggests price hikes for consoles and games are coming to Canada, but Switch 2 escapes for nowEnglish
5·8 months agoThey’re $110 in canada? That’s insanely overpriced? How much more is that compared to regular AAA games? I could understand people justifying the price in the uk, mario kart world costs £67 digitally (including tax) which is CHEAPER than call of duty and “only” £7 more than a regular AAA game and the new donkey kong is cheaper than AAA games digitally (but only £59 vs £60). I think the games are overpriced in the uk, since they will never go on sale, but $110 is ridiculous.
I used to have an s9 that would take a few minutes to turn on. I was shocked at how slow that was when I upgraded.
