  • The Germans call this a Bierrettich (English pronunciation: Beer-Rat and that ich sounds like a short cat hiss). If you’re in Vienna, they‘d write it that way, but the local dialect‘d be like Bieradi (pronounced: Beeruhdee)

  • Sony is trying to patent a 'universal' rewind button that could fix your worst gaming catastrophes
  • don‘t use it is waaay easier said then done. It’s not the first time you’ll need it, not the second time, but there will be this one passage in the game, could even be the final boss on your first try, where there happens to be a mechanic at phase 6 you don’t quite survive. The game then loads in before the first phase of the boss. And because the boss was hard to get there, you rewind for the first time. Then you get hit, and you rewind again.

    The first one is hard to use, but it gets easier.

    And easier…

    And easier…

  • Nintendo Reports Rapid Growth For Metroid, Xenoblade Chronicles, And More
  • Long story short:

    Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.

    Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.

    Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.

    [Ad/Promotion/Suggestion] If you want a spooky walking simulator, check out Layers of Fear!

    It’s been about 8 years since I played this on PS4 for the first and only time so far. All I remember is a library, some paintings and that the atmosphere was pretty amazing. It’s not your typical survival horror experience where at one point you just Run&Gun your way through hordes of undeads. In the comments I read that you cannot rebind keys and other problems, this could be a no-go for some of you. Also, forced 16:9 aspect ratio is a thing.

    Just beat Luigi's Mansion for the first time! Happy (almost) Halloween everyone!!
  • I remember when my brother and I were kids and we got to the point where you needed to catch all Boos but his reading wasn’t good yet and so we never figured out what to actually do, only for me to then just play it again 3 years later and finishing it :D

  • YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people

    My girl was looking for a dress for Halloween. Yesterday she found one on Amazon for € 35 and put it in the cart, but did not buy it. Today she looked it up again and it was € 50 so she asked me to look it up with my phone with my Amazon account - it turned out to be € 23 for me, less than half of what it’s for her!

    Would you agree that this is a good list to stop ads on the internet?

    On Linux or Windows? Firefox + uBlock origin (there’s nothing better than that)

    On Mac? Firefox + uBlock origin (worse alternative: Safari + AdGuard, since you might synch browser with iPhone)

    On Android? Firefox + Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin

    On iOS? Safari + AdGuard + Vinegar + Baking Soda

    On SmartTV it’s different.

    Hardest overall solution that even works on PS5, Switch and other consoles: Get yourself a Pi-Hole https://pi-hole.net/

    For WebOS TVs use this: https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos

    Android TVs should get SmartTube: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube#smarttube-old-name-smarttubenext

    RokuTVs got either this thing: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-ca/details/840aec36f51bfe6d96cf6db9055a372a/playlet or the open source alternative: https://github.com/iBicha/playlet

    I like that Apple removed so many ports from their Laptops

    I got myself a Mac for learning SwiftUi because I want to make an iPhone game. I got myself a used 16/256 M1 Air model that has 2 USB-C ports and that’s it.

    This made me create a workstation, where I have a high quality Thunderbolt 3 dock that works with DisplayLink, so I can have up to 4 external displays on windows and 3 on my MacBook Air. On this dock, I have connected 2 monitors, a mouse, a keyboard, a webcam, still have some USB A and C ports free to use. Best thing is that this dock has a micro SD and a regular SD slot!

    All this through a single USB-C cable!

    I want to connect my work HP Probook to this setup? Just plug the USB-C cable in and all comes to life!

    I want to connect my gaming-PC? Just plug the USB-C cable in the Thunderbolt slot of the Graphics card and all comes to life!

    Oh, I want to connect my USB-C emulator console, iPad, Tablet, etc. to the monitor, or the USB-stick? Or the Ethernet ? Just plug it in!

    Basically I got my single cable workstation, and all that because of Apple removing useful at-home-things from a on-the-go device

    I fixed the Apple Magic Mouse 2!

    In my asklemmy post (here: https://lemmy.world/post/20013379) I asked if anybody could help me because the mouse just does not glide well on my mousepad, while the 10 year old gaming mouse does glide.

    The answers were pretty good and something I looked into. Then, I was just like "what if…" and put regular tape on the mouse, just to test it… and… it glides!

    How do you make a mouse glide better on a mousepad?

    I‘ve recently bought an Apple Magic Mouse to have a mouse for my left hand while working. My main mouse on the right is my trusty SL Prime-Z DW. This one glides around the mousepad like butter in a hot pan. My totally new Apple Magic Mouse however drags like dry-fried chicken. My mousepad is the size of the whole desk, so it’s the same mousepad for both mice. The other mouse I had was gliding just fine, but buttons don’t work with my left hand so I settled for this one. And no, I don’t plan on putting a Trackpad there, the trackpad is below the keyboard (I need it to better move the camera)

    Do you have any tips as to how I can make this mouse glide better?

    Flux via ComfyUI on M1 MacBook Air 16 GB RAM 256GB - a second later it threw an error and died

    Has anyone of you stumbled upon any information on how to get it running on machines like mine, or does it just not have enough power?

    If a creature like this would exist, would it...

    !

    Close its mouth at the speed of light?

    Close its mouth at the speed of sound?

    Close its mouth faster than the speed of light?

    Also… wouldn’t it be heavier than the galaxy itself? So it would create its own gravitational pull that’s like extremely strong?

    Watch OS needs Series 6 or newer

    For anyone wondering: all AppleWatches older than the S6 Chip are being cancelled, basically Series 5 and below is dead.

    Well then, farewell Series 3. You’ve been a great companion since 2017. I will enjoy the time we still have together, until you finally decorate the rainbow arm when crossing into the big drawer up in the skies. May you be reunited with the Series 0.

    Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?

    MacOS Sequoia: 30+ INSANE CHANGES (Hands-On)

    I've watched the keynote and read some stuff on the internet and I've found this video about a dude talking about the new update (I linked it here because if you didn't see the keynote, this is probably enough)

    Is it just me, or... does no one address that Apple does a Microsoft move by basically scanning everything on every machine and feeding this into their LLM?

    Cable or adapter?

    Does it make any difference (quality-wise and input-delay-wise) if I use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable directly or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, followed by a regular HDMI cable?

    Upgrading my Gaming PC

    Hello everyone.

    My 10 year old computer is not compatible with windows 11 and so I was wondering whether to upgrade Mainboard and CPU to something cheap (I guess not many are worse than my 2014 Intel i5).

    I don’t see how much specs are important for changing these parts. My Power unit is capable of -800W and I‘ve got enough Y-Cables to connect all my 6 fans 2 ports if necessary. Btw it’s only ever being used for gaming. Do you have any suggestions?
