Will be interesting to see the real sale numbers after the hype has died down.
Everyone keeps saying people will buy it anyway but of the few dozen gamers I know nobody wants one.
My coworker preordered one and before he got it he was excited. The day after he said he regrets it. 🤣
I honestly don’t understand the Nintendo glaze. Nintendo refuses to grow up with their customers. That’s why their games fall flat with casual gamers. Saying “It’s for kids” is so lazy. Kids don’t buy games. They did when games were $20-$40 dollars but that isn’t the case anymore.

Entwined Fates: Russia, China, and the Unravelling of Western Delusions
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently told EU diplomat Kaja Kallas that Beijing did not want to see Russia lose in Ukraine, not because it directly supports the conflict, but because it feared a U.S. strategic realignment against China. If Russia were to falter, Washington could shift its full focus to the Indo-Pacific. While some EU officials were surprised by Wang’s frankness, the comment underscores a widely held belief in Beijing—that a Russian defeat would upend the delicate balancing act China has maintained amid great power rivalry.Wang further rejected accusations that China was materially aiding Russia’s war effort, claiming that if Beijing were truly providing such support, the conflict would have ended long ago. These remarks, while diplomatically calibrated, reinforce the view that China and Russia perceive their geopolitical fates as closely intertwined.
Ukrainian nationalist accounts have gone into a tailspin about this. I almost feel sorry for you people. We did try to warn you!

i suspect that this self-interested strategy is going to lead to the sino-soviet split part 2
I don’t think it will in the short term since Russia needs allies and the West has made it clear they will never be allies with Russia. Russia doesn’t gain anything by splitting with China now or in the short term.
Much longer term it was always bound to happen. Russia only gets critical support around here because it’s going against the West in this specific conflict. It’s still a capitalist country with reactionary views on a lot of things.
That’s going to eventually put it at odds with China and other AES countries unless there’s a change in power in Russia.
With all due respect, I put little stock in gloomy historical analogies without any materialist analysis to back them up
I have a lot to say about China and Russia's development strategies and foreign relations if we actually got into the details
no respect to be lost; i know little more than your average american liberal and i'm genuinely interested in reading it.
i've run into people on lemmy who know considerably more about dialectical materialism than i do and i posted that comment in the hopes that one of them will see it and respond with a knowledge drop that helps dispels that gloomy perspective you detected.
And just a bit later i saw that cursed sonic curry that they sell in the us.
There are also natural blue colors, but the problem isn't the color, the problem is that in US food the color is artificial, because it's cheaper than natural colors. If it is unhealthy, the industry give a fuck, important to gain more money. Collateral damages are nice for the friends from the pharma industry.
Life expectancy in the US is more than 7 years lower than that of other first world countries. Too much stress, anxiety, crappy food with to much shugar and additives, inexistent healthcare. Capitalism kills
people who ate as little as one hot dog a day
Who TF is eating a hot dog every day? That's their idea of a minimum amount of a particular food?

I know, right? One hot dog a day sounds like excess junk food consumption to me, not minimal consumption. These people clearly already do not have a decent diet and probably have other poor lifestyle choices. So it seems disingenuous to say that there is no safe minimum level of processed food consumption when their "minimum" is already excessive.
I get that this stuff increases cancer risk, but so does everything. Enjoying life without being too excessive with anything is what we should all shoot for. Life is a balance.

Russian serviceman says Ukrainian forces hit civilians during evacuation in Donetsk area

Name one thing they have ever lied about lmao
This week you guys thought they were lying when they reiterated words from Zelensky
You already support shelling of civilians, why not openly support this? What's the difference? Is there only lint between your ears?
This week you guys thought they were lying when they reiterated words from Zelensky
Yeah, I think reconfiguring the bots with a new narrative is long overdue tbh...
It's one thing to question how objective are Russian sources when talking about ukraine, but those bots post the same "this is Russian propaganda" / "this is unreliable source" narrative even under articles from western medias, and it even gets posted under articles from ukrainian sources, where the next recommended article is usually something like "illegally, unprovokedly and full-scale invading orcs just massacred triillions of innocent ukrainian women and children" which is just peak comedy :/
At least add filtering on domains before commenting or something, it's not that hard XD

in reply to DonutsRMeh • • •I've had the similar problems with bazzite in desktop mode coming back from sleep or screen off, first with Nvidia, then solved by switching to an AMD graphics card, but now it happens there too. I have two workarounds.
1) Try Ctrl+Alt+F1and Ctrl+Alt+F3. You should be able to switch to console then back to desktop/login screen.
2) In KDE Plasma, there's a way to map wake screen to a keyboard button. That worked for me until I reinstalled the OS and never bothered.
I think this is a Plasma or SSDM issue but idk how to report it properly.
Any ideas would be appreciated

I've had the problem with two laptops in the past (the bug was with all distros I tried), and in one case it was a BIOS that Linux didn't like, and the second one was the internal wifi that its linux driver was buggy. For the first laptop there was nothing to be done, so I disabled sleep completely in the bios, while for the second one, I disabled the wifi modules in the kernel's blacklist, and then used a usb wifi that I knew it worked better. Both cases were appearing as a dead screen, but it wasn't the screen/hdmi/gfx card to blame. In yet another case, with a thinkpad laptop, the wake up was working, but it would wake up 30 seconds later than anticipated. In that case, it was the fact that its thunderbolt was dead (hardware had gone bad), and only when I disabled it in the bios completely the laptop would wake up correctly and fast.
