So it begins.

Out of curiosity, what do you do with all that storage? Can’t imagine I’d ever need that much personally
Right, that was a thing too
Well yea, it’s another motivator for people to actively go against the Russian government in one way or another. The more discontent people are with the situation that’s been ongoing for 2+ years, the more likely something’s to happen, I’d wager
This debate had been brought up back when Atomic Heart was bound to be released. Many people argued back then that it’s fine buying the game since the dev team had completely relocated to Cyprus (very popular country for Russians to move to next to Kazakhstan and numerous European countries), thus not funding the Russian government through taxes.
However, given that the dev team still lives in Russia this time, there’s not much to debate. The figures the author mentions check out and there’s no other way to put it, really, that gamers are, in part at least, funding Russia.
Sure, the company might have opposing views to Russia, but firstly, they haven’t moved to a different country, which is at least a little concerning, and secondly, are a legal entity in Russia, so they pay them regardless of motivation.
I mean, it depends. PS5 Pro is an enthusiasts console that, compared to regular PS5 and Slim, won’t be selling as much. Playing the devil’s advocate, you could argue that the higher price point is then warranted since they won’t be selling as many units (99% sure they just made it more expensive because they can but whatever).
In the past, their consoles were sold at a loss, at a lower price point, which they could justify by profiting in other areas of their business, such as games and accessories. Sony could, theoretically, do this to PS6 too to ensure that not too many people are priced out of having a console and retain their status of loyal-ish customers.
Wishful thinking on my part for sure but not too unrealistic when you think about it.
If you put it that way
The value proposition is just heavily skewed towards video games. Some games cost less than a single visit to the cinema and provide heaps more entertainment. Sure, it’s different entertainment and the social aspect of going to the cinema is a factor too, but I’m not much into cinemas myself, so I know where my money goes.
Load times that don’t take ages with the internal SSD of the PS5 is a huge boon too
Are all of these “laws” in place because incendiary weapons are especially cruel compared to a simple shot to the dome?
Take this advice with a grain of salt, but consider going to an SLT. Practically anything to do with late language acquisition is worthy of being looked at by an SLT. If the therapist is specially trained or schooled in it, it may show results with language acquisition and production. Plus a second opinion, other than from a psychotherapist, could prove helpful with finding strategies to manage your daily lives. Good luck!
Is that its intended use? Actually not a bad idea
Yea good thing we didn’t follow through lol
Back in our Business 101 class in university, we were supposed to come up with a new business idea and pitch it. We came up with a self-tying tie. Guess we weren’t too far off lol
Thanks for the insight. I tried my hands at Kubuntu on an old laptop of mine and didn’t mind the few differences too much. From what I’ve heard on Lemmy, Mint seems to be a good all-around suggestion for new Linux users, though
Guys, I’ll switch in a heartbeat to a Linux OS if any one you can recommend a stable OS that works on a Surface Go 2. It should support its touchscreen, of course, and a Surface Pen. Plus, a FOSS alternative to Journal would be stellar
That first name was new to me. Cheers
I’m not sure if this is stretching it, but this comment thread is just so awesome. It’s like one of those moments on reddit that would be referenced for years to come
A PC is something different and not really comparable to a console if all you’re interested in is a hassle-free, straightforward gaming experience. Economies of scale make it so that a PS5 is just plain better than any PC you could cook up for that price.
Plus, exclusives are a factor for console choice, sure, but I’d argue that the performance boost relative to PS4 models is worth the price. I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I’ve been really happy with my PS4 for these last four years.
