Recentelijk heb ik sinds jaren weer een console gekocht, de Nintendo Switch 2. Erg leuk ding. Maar het viel me op dat fysieke games wat goedkoper zijn dan digitale games. Voorbeeld ik zag Mario Kart World voor €68 euro bij CoolBlue maar digitaal bij GameMania, NedGame etc voor €80 voor zowel fysiek als digitaal.

Ik had gehoopt dat digitaal goedkoper zou zijn, dit aangezien ik digitaal toch wat prettiger blijk te vinden (makkelijker switchen van games). Hoog waarschijnlijk kijk ik gewoon op de verkeerde plekken.

Daarom mijn vraag; waar kijken jullie regelmatig voor digitale games?

Sometimes I use RSS for Lemmy, bit easier. However, I noticed it logs me out or sees me as not logged in when the link doesn’t go to the instance I’m on.

Any idea how to solve this or at least why it happens?

Got the Switch 2 Zelda Edition and having a blast with Mario Kart World. 

I was worried with all the criticism on Reddit, Lemmy and general on the internet that the game would be such a letdown but I think exactly because of the criticism and that I never really had any expectations that the game is now really fun for me. 

I like that the races are a bit chaotic and really love the KnockOut Tour thing. I also like the new animations and the way the game looks. 

The only two things that I have to get used two are; the racing feels a bit slower and that drifting seems a little different than the previous game(s). 

As for the Switch 2 itself, its nice! But I’ll be purchasing these third party grips. The console feels non-ergonomic (coming from a Steam Deck). 

Can’t wait until Ocarina Remake is released and a month or two later will be getting Tears of Kingdom (or Bananza).

I’m also slightly hoping that Nintendo will be making a sequel of Mario Odyssey and Captain Toad Tracker.

I recently pre-ordered a Switch 2 and will get it end of this week and now is the time for getting games.

However, I noticed that digital is overall more expensive than physical even when the games are new from retail stores. For example;

• Mario Kart World is €72 digitally, €68 physically.
• Tears of The Kingdom €78 digitally, €70 physically.
• Ocarina Remake €70 digitally, €65 physically.

Might be a stupid question but is this a normal thing for consoles? I have not purchased any games for consoles since I went over to PC gaming in 2019-2020. Can't remember anymore how it was on PS4/5.

I like having the game physically, sort of owning it (if it still can be called owning). But the loss of easily switching games will be a sad 'loss' lol.

The games I'm planning to purchase in the long run are:

• Mario Kart World.
• Tears of The Kingdom.
• Some Yoshi games.
• Breath of The Wild (already played though)
• Newer Kirby game (2027 one).

I'm not a avid reader, but I've read quite a few books. Classics such as 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and The Book Thief.

A lot of people on the internet recommend reading Monte Cristo and so I wanted to read it but the is huge, like 1100 pages? That kind of scares me away, if that makes sense.

I usually read smaller books, like 200-250 pages. So I was wondering how do you read a book that has that many pages? I know the question doesn’t really make sense.

If you are wondering what kind of books I read, here's my humble list. Warning though, there are some ero books in there: My book list

I’m curious about the experience of other people.

I check Reddit content through my RSS feed and r/books is one of these subreddits in my RSS. I’ve lately seen an influx of books about Palestinian people and the Palestinian cause which I find great. However, I noticed that the comments are immensely dislike regards it and some even hateful towards anything Pro-Palestinian and go very much pro-Israel.

It is as if the pro-Israel propaganda accounts have made their way into the r/books subreddit. I can give an thread example if needed though. The community over there seems so much more hostile and I don't even participate, just lurk lol.

I was wondering whether some of you also noticed this if you are still lurking there.

Note: was not sure in which community to post. This one or the other one in lemmy.world. So apologies if this one was not the correct one.

I was wondering whether this is normal and if other people have the same issue.

Since a week ago or so the app has very long loading times for the initial start up. For example; I fully exited the app and re-open it, it takes quite a while to load everything. Meanwhile my Voyager takes a few seconds to load.

So I pre-ordered the Switch 2 Zelda Edition and planning to eventually purchase Zelda Tears of The Kingdom and Zelda Ocarina.

However, I have two question about the games:

1. Is it possible to have multiple saves on both games. I will be playing the game but my mother as well. She’s a huge fan of Zelda (in fact my mother is actually the main reason I purchased the Zelda edition, hah).

2. If somehow it is possible to have two save slots, is it possible to both have different languages? Because I love to play in Japanese voice + English subtitles. My mother prefers English voice + our native language as subtitles.

People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?

I have noticed that I'm very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.

This is pretty much in all subreddits I'm active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can't call what is on Reddit content anymore.

Is there a button to “hide all read”? Currently only have an option to hide individual posts that I have read.

So first in advance: this thread is heavy pro-piracy; if you are not a fan of piracy, this is not a thread for you.

A few months ago I was debating whether to buy a Macbook (Pro) or not because I still had my student discount at the time (despite having graduated). I searched a lot about it and found that the main complaint was about: price tag and walled garden. But these complaints were also in the piracy community, which surprised me a bit. I understand the initial price is high, but in return you get a great product.

I eventually caved in after figuring out that I could also pirate on a Macbook pretty easily. At least the apps. Thus far, I really like it. So far my only purchase was the Macbook itself. Everything else is pirated.

However, I will definitely purchase some of the apps sooner or later.

I love PCs, Steam Deck, and really debating whether to buy a Steam Machine and fiddle with it. But I also love the Macbook for its simplicity, battery life, productivity apps, and ease of use. Gosh, I love that I don’t have to deal with restarting after every update or the crazy fan noise after just watching a video (I had this on a pretty good Windows laptop).

I do like to give a shout out to some of the apps I use, though:

Chronoid: A time tracking app with an option to bill clients when needed. Just one developer. Definitely going to purchase this one.

MacNotch: An app with the ability to be inside your notch and give you all kinds of things such as launchers for your apps, pomodoros, shortcuts, etc.

Refine: An app that checks your spelling and grammar and corrects it (with a shortcut so that you can decide whether you want it to correct or not).

Cotypist (Pirate, do not purchase): This app is really cool and the first of its kind on the Macbook (as far as I know). It learns how you type and then gives you suggestions, and you can tab a shortcut to accept the suggestion. The reason I say pirate instead of purchase is because the developer got immensely greedy and decided to really smack his beta users in the face with an expensive subscription paywall. Many users would be fine paying an expensive one-time fee for the app, but he refused.

Since Pinterest has been a disaster for me for a long while, I have now decided to keep everything locally through EagleCool software.

Wondering whether there’s a way to have multiple sites/ platforms like Pinterest into a feed and to see all images in there. I have tried through RSS (Reeder, Reeder+ and InoReader) but that did not work out for me.

So kind of hoping someone here has a way to recommend. Would like to get Pinterest and Cosmos into it.

Apologies if this is not the right community post, was not sure which of the tech communities I should be posting.
