FOMO is a helluva drug.

I'm no fan of Apple, but Nintendo is worse.
Because they are one of the most consumer hostile gaming companies. The only redeeming quality is their games are usually top notch. I personally refuse to give them any more money.
I agree. HDD to SSD was a huge leap. NVME was a small, sometimes noticable upgrade. Past that, I can't tell a difference. And it's hard to get excited about the hardware updates when the software can't use it.
I have never once been about to tell a real world difference in SSD speeds. Until OS I/O code improves, faster SSDs don't excite me.
Because of Proton and also how shit can just break on Linux (see the current glibc fiasco), it might be better to have just a Windows version.
I when I play a game, I don't even notice if it's Linux native unless the game specifically tells me it's a Linux build.
Didn't be so hard on yourself. You can also pester us about the status of Jira tickets.
Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, you chose to be confidently incorrect about this?
So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.
I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.
I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.
That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.
I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.
I'm not sad I tried and failed so much as I'm just sad it didn't work. I may try again sometime in the future.
Just play NMS. Get it on sale if the price is a concern. It's neat.
Wait. You want anti-corpo social media, but not anti-corpo discourse??
MK 8 is also a previous generation title that Nintendo got to double dip on already.
MK night be a good value proposition for some folks. It's still too expensive. I have games that I've paid $20, $10, sometimes even less for that I've gotten more play time out of. Play time to cost is not a good argument.
Let me also contrast with some of Nintendo's worst practices, like selling 3 old Mario games with no enhancements, that are just emulated, for $60.
