My life forever changed when I found out you could play Mario Kart with a Nunchuk instead of the motion controls. It’s so much better.

Absolute cinema

I guess I was so caught up in the GPU shortage that went under my radar. Seemingly nothing is immune from these component shortages.

I love gas turbines! I love pollution spewing power plants reliant on a scarce natural resource! (heavy /s)

If you use a ThinkPad that has its track point designed around the assumption that middle click is used for scroll and only scroll, it will send you crazy. Thankfully KDE can disable it in most apps through a setting, but some apps keep on doing it anyway.

That is a bit odd. Maybe it doesn’t sell that well in the EU. Here in the UK pretty much all the major retailers sell them, plus the PlayStation Direct store.

The PS5 does have a media remote. It is available for sale at most retailers that stock PS5 controllers.

The old Dysons are way better than whatever the hell they’re doing nowadays. I could genuinely feel the difference in the plastic quality when I moved from an older DC 39 to a newer Big Ball (the Big Ball’s is significantly worse). Not to mention the Big Ball has gone through two roller heads (both had the mechanism break). No wonder their newer cordless models have a 2 year warranty instead of the old corded 5 year. They used to be really good, if a bit expensive, but now the options from Bosch and Miele look far more attractive.

It was so off putting when you just wanted to share something and proceeded to get struck down by the wrath of the mods, or worse, the completely opaque auto filtering CQS system. As you can probably tell from my profile, I love making memes, but only really had the courage to start when I joined Lemmy, since if I made a bad one here it would just get downvoted and I would have a chance. This place is such a breath of fresh air.

You’d be surprised at how recently the glow plug lighters were removed. I know at least a few mid 2000s VWs that came with it standard and not as part of any smoker’s package option.

From what I have heard, it is most likely the USS Hornet (CV-12, the museum ship, not CV-8), as Project Aces used it for 3D scans before the trailer came out. In addition, the museum staff sent out this tweet after the trailer came out:

There are no words to describe how badly I want the electric LFA concept at the end of the article to go into production. Sure, it’ll be crazy expensive and low volume, but considering the wizardry that went into the original LFA I think it’d end up being one of the best cars of all time.

Need to make my decisions somehow. Simply surrender to the wisdom of the cube.

Not all of Linux, but that has kind of already happened. I wish I was making this up.

I believe it says “I care not”.

£58.99 (UK price) is the same price as Legends Z-A, despite Pokopia seemingly being a smaller side game. Even if the game is good, there is no way it’s going to sell well at that price to anyone other than die-hard Pokemon fans. Persona 5 Tactica (which I really like) did the exact same thing (full game price for smaller side game) and it did not end well, copies of Tactica still linger on clearance to this day for sometimes less than 20% of the original price since a lot of the launch excitement evaporated.

Sommie, the little, uh, thing that lives in a cave in your home base (the Somniel). You feed it and pet it, and it gives you bond fragments you can use to improve your Emblem Rings. Essentially, Engage is a giant crossover event and every Emblem Ring is a different character in the series that gives you different powers in battle.

Yeah, I was as confused as you were when I started Engage. My first game was Three Houses, which feels like the Oppenheimer to Engage’s Barbie. Even then, I love Engage so far. At its core it’s a very traditional Fire Emblem game, weapon triangle and all.

It is funny how GameFAQs is so old I end up going to posts on there about the original releases of games when I’m looking for help with a remake. Props to the site admins for keeping it up this long, so many other resources have withered away over the years.

I have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6s (similar sort of pairing and Bluetooth system although with the addition of LDAC) and I can confirm the Sound Connect app is not required to pair the headphones (works perfectly on my laptop with a Qualcomm Bluetooth chip and my desktop with an Intel chip, both running Fedora). It’s only for settings management and firmware updates through your phone. It might be worth checking if there’s any firmware updates for the headphones, and also try a few more resets. I used to have a pair of Bose headphones that had the exact same problem as you are experiencing, but it would go away after disconnecting and reconnecting a few times. It’s worth also seeing if you can pair with any other type of device in addition to your phone (Windows, smart TV, anything that can do Bluetooth A2DP) as it might be an issue with pairing to devices in general.

Out of curiosity how are you triggering pairing mode? If you are triggering pairing mode through the Sound Connect app, it might be worth instead holding the hardware button on the back of the case for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode.

I really want this to succeed. I’ve had to import soundtrack CDs from Japan so many times for games I enjoy (Nintendo and non-Nintendo), so to not have to go through the import process would be so nice. I do wish Nintendo would follow the lead of other game companies however and release their soundtracks digitally on stores rather than just on Nintendo Music (which only has a limited selection). If you could just buy the FLACs or M4As off somewhere like iTunes, Qobuz, or 7digital it would save having to ship a soundtrack at all.
