8,7,3,1,5,2,4,6

i do love sweet potato, but quite often it seems they dont fit.

6 is so low on the list, because I genuinely never had good ones. If someone serves crinkle-cut fries, they are always the most bland, soggy, frozen industrial ones they can find.

Similar goes for 2 and 4, although they usually dont taste as bland, they seem to have some seasoning on them.

Surely, you must be choking…

Meiner Meinung eher 9/11

I can get this to work on my steam deck. Back buttons and gyro.

But on my PC, it doesn’t work. Does anyone know what the requirements for this to work are? Do I need a specific Bluetooth version?

Es ist völlig egal welche Distro du benutzt, es wird immer Leute geben die dir sagen welch schlechte Wahl du getroffen hast.

Blue would be water.

What game would actually use blue?

First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.

as for your question

…have you picked up any games? What have you bought,

I have picked up:

• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99€
• Supermoves for 0,77€
• Mirage Feathers for 2,99€
• a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.

Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven’t picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.

Another game I can recommend is “Beyond: Two Souls”, which is available for 1,99€ on Steam. It’s a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get “Detroit: Become Human”, a very similar title in terms of gameplay.

Crash Bandicoot trilogy for 3,99€ was in instant buy for me.

at our company, we threw out a Lenovo Yoga X390. Technically, W11 would be supported, but it’s 6 years old now, so it goes in the trash.

I made sure it’s “disposed of” properly. In totally unrelated news, I installed manjaro on my new Lenovo Yoga X390, which I found in the trash.

honestly, it’s mostly the same for me, as well. I might play a game on epic, give it a whirl and if I like it, put it on my wishlist, hoping it’ll appear in a bundle anytime soon.

Fair question.
AFAIU, the GOG extension was a perk that you received for a one-time payment ($6 iirc), and I believe there were two different ways to make that payment. Continous membership/subscription to patreon was not necessary.

Unfortunately, they seem to have completely wiped information regarding this from their website, I can’t find it there anymore.

EDIT: used archive.org to look up their old, pre-v2-announcement website:

It was a one-time purchase via Ko-Fi or patreon.

Looks like 87% of people leaving votes understood the obvious sarcasm, even without the /s :)

Feedback in their discord seems overwhelmingly negative. Personally, them putting the GoG extension behind a paywall already left a sour taste in my mouth. Lack of GOG and Amazon support in Junk Store was always a big inconvenience that required use of heroic anyways, so for me it was more convenient to just stick to heroic alltogether. And I will keep using Heroic launcher, instead, their $40 p/a price certainly didn’t win me over.

I don’t wish junk store bad luck in their endevour, but I strongly believe if they actually pull through with this, it is going to crash and burn. Hard. It wont generate enough revenue to sustain long term development and will be either partially or fully abandoned within 18 months. The concept of Junk Store is too niché to not be a FOSS community driven project.

They try to make it sound like it is not a subscription model: you pay $40 for 12 months of updates and support and keep using the software afterwards without receiving updates. But in practice, this wont work for very long. Store APIs are gonna change, backends are going to break, etc., making updates be a necessity. Software as a Service.

One thing I found to be a particular slap in the face for current supporters was a FAQ regarding the future of the GOG extension for the Decky plugin:

Q: Since GOG addon support is going to be bug-fix only, will it be added to the public domain?
A: We’re using the GOG addon as a canary in the coal mine. If enough people continue to support it by purchasing, that sends a clear signal we should keep investing time into both the GOG addon and maintaining the open-source code. However, if sales drop off significantly, it will indicate we can safely scale back or stop work on the open-source version without jeopardizing the project’s sustainability.

It’ll be self fullfilling. People are going to stop buying the GOG extension for the current decky plugin, because future updates are not guaranteed. That reduction in sales is going to indicate to them, that there is no longer demand for it and every current supported is SOL. They are not even guaranteing a fixed ammount of support for the current extension here, they keep it vague and open.
If I had paid for the GOG extension, this FAQ would make me mad.

I did not, I deliberately left it out. It should be immediately clear that my comment is sarcasm.

$40 for junk store is an insane price, even more insane that its a yearly subscription 😳

18 more wild cowboys out in the yard!

maybe we should find another sollution than having women store money in their bras?

As a conservative, I propose women should no longer be allowed to handle money, when they go outside they need to be accompanied by their husband or father, who will handle their money for them. That way, women are also unable to spend money on useless shit like birth control, pads etc. and can use it to buy proper stuff, like beer and meat!

Yes we actually still have them, but we have them in the most insulting way, basically one half of the shell is a candy part and the other is the toy and each half is separate by its own film covering.

In Europe (or Germany, at least) they are sold under the name “Kinder Joy”, so we can choose between those and Kinder surprise.

I bet it was because one kid in the 80s or some shit was in some freak accident or something

Actually, that’s not the case. Kinder Surprise is banned under a law from 1938, long before the product was even conceived.
