A wizard did it.

I assume low sales are because they're ludicrously expensive, which makes sense for early technology. Apple are generally slow to adopt new things, they like quite a lot of polish (and to come up with some marketing so that they can claim they invented it!)

Phones have been getting bigger over the years because people want to see more (whether for video, games, or just reading), the limit is that most people don't want to lug a tablet around with them. A folding phone that provides a bigger screen and fits in your pocket doesn't seem like a crazy concept to me, that's why I'd quite like one (though I can't justify the cost).

lack of a clear reason to exist

Isn't the reason that you can have a big screen which you can fit in your pocket?

Wow, that's a huge number!

Obtainium has its own list of apps you've added, you could just use that as a list so you don't forget about them?

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn't work if they couldn't authenticate to your Steam account.

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that's the one you consider to be the best!

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it's just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you're aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they're the ones that you brought up!

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren't gatcha games?

 

Some posts (e.g. this and this) do not load the images in Summit but load fine in the web ui. Summit gives this error:

stream was reset: PROTOCOL_ERROR

This post contains quite a lot of formatting. It looks fine in the web ui but Summit seems to mess it up (I think maybe it's trying to put it all under one of the >?)

 

I looked at this post in Summit and it's just showing an image post, but when I view it in the web ui there's a linked article. Have I hidden it in some setting or is Summit not showing the link?

 

There's a video in the description of this post which Summit can't display, the Lemmy web ui doesn't load it either but apparently it loads in other clients

 

I've seen this posted a couple of times in comments, it seems like a reasonable investigation in to the recent shit storm

I usually actively avoid engaging in anything to do with US politics as it's pointless getting depressed by an awful situation I have zero control over; this post is not about fueling arguments or making us all feel worse, just determining if a useful tech company has gone to shit (TL;DR: probably not).

This triple-backticked comment loads in the Lemmy web ui but not in Summit, though weirdly it works fine on the original instance!

 

This post is a link to imgur. The web ui shows a thumbnail but Summit does not, and when I click the link Summit crashes.

Summit version 1.49.5 on Android 14

@idunnololz@lemmy.world can you recreate or do you need more info?

 

Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.

It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019.

 

We're all well aware of Steam's summer sales, but don't forget that indie storefront itch.io also has a lot of games on sale this week. I've linked to my post in !freegames@feddit.uk which covers 22 games that are currently completely free, but you can browse their games on sale page directly for a huge number of indies (of varying quality!)
