    source Seems like rather similar options to me?
    But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.

  • Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the Super Mario Bros. Movie drove Nintendo to a record-breaking quarter | Geek Centrals
  • there is an estimation i saw about the development cost of Breath of the Wild, at somewhere between 80 and 120 million USD. Breath of the Wild was 4 years in Development, Tears of the Kingdom spent 6 years in Development.
    above 120 million for Tears of the Kingdom doesn't seem unreasonable.

    Mario Movie was 100 Million.

    Anyway, both are stupidly profitable for Nintendo

  • Remnant 2 Developer 'Looking at' Crossplay Support | IGN
  • How does crossplay in shooters work?
    are controllers genuinely competetive to mouse and keyboard?

    Remnant 2 seems to be cooperative? So at worst console / controller players are less of a help?

  • Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the Super Mario Bros. Movie drove Nintendo to a record-breaking quarter | Geek Centrals
  • As of August 6, 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has grossed $574.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $779.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.355 billion.

    wiki

    [Tears of the Kingdom] sold more than 10 million copies in its first three days of release, and had sold over 18.5 million copies by June 2023.

    wiki

    at 69.99 a game, would mean the total volume sold is roughly $1.295 billion, 60 million less than the Super Mario Movie.

    I'm not certain if the movie gross is the same calculation though. It seems that the calculation is fair But data for Tears of the Kingdom is about a month older so that it seems possible it passed The Super Mario Movie by now.

  • FEX-Emu 2308 Continues Striving To Be "The Greatest x86/x86-64 Emulator On Linux"
  • what's the difference between box86 and FEX-Emu?

  • Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen
  • watch astartes (warhammer 40k)

  • Room Temperature Superconductors - This Changes EVERYTHING!
  • damn, right.

    i totally forgot about those, and assumend the mix-up of room temperature and "high-temperature", because "high" is very relative and confused me as well.

  • The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
  • yeah, it doesn't destroy anything on the worldwide scale.
    but it weakens.

    erosion is a rather perfect term for it

  • Sci-Hub's Alexandra Elbakyan Receives EFF Award for Providing Access to Scientific Knowledge * TorrentFreak
  • interesting, as her service is illegal.

    but well deserved, as it clearly shouldn't be.

  • Room Temperature Superconductors - This Changes EVERYTHING!
  • room temperature superconductors don't exist. (well... when/if this paper turns out to be bullshit)

    High Temperature Superconductors do, and refer to the fact that they can be cooled with liquid nitrogen, and do not require liquid helium.

  • Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web
  • Firefox will most likely support this, if it doesn’t want to get cut off from most of the web.

    well, if more people used Firefox websites couldn't just throw them under the bus, which is why I said it's so important.
    We'll have to see, but I'd hope Firefox puts up at least some resistance.

  • Twitter To Rebrand As X
  • depends how the loans worked.
    I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
    And that that he could just go "yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don't mind", because it's not worth anything anymore.

    But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.

  • [News, Call for Action] The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
  • Several players have said they’ll exit the UK rather than exit encryption.

    rightly so.

    I'd assume any worldwide player couldn't be caught in compliance with this, as long as alternatives exist that don't.
    This might have been enough to push EU people away from WhatsApp for example.

  • [News, Call for Action] The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
  • I mean, imagine if non-british companies just went "well, no encryption for you, then."

    And disabled TLS too.

    Online Banking would probably just have to... stop.
    And a lot of other pages wouldn't load on most browsers requiring https

  • Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web
  • They are not donating, if I remember correctly fairly recently Microsoft outbid them and bing was default for a bit.

    But maybe I'm not remembering correctly tbh.

  • Twitter To Rebrand As X
  • Depends.

    If he thinks Twitter is irreperably dying, this may be a way, in which he can get out of repaying the loans he used to (partially) fund the buyout of twitter.

  • Twitter is now X
  • yeah, well, even the @twitter account now has the X logo.

    Nitter Link of twitter account, showing X Logo

    x.com redirects to twitter.com as well.

    Wonder if Businesses will replace the twitter logo in their windows as well.

  • Ukraine is now the most mined country. It will take decades to make safe.
  • With Ukraine being a breadbasked, I wonder how many fields are unusable.
    probably lots. That sucks for a lot of people.

  • Ubisoft closes your account after period of inactivity and you lose access to games.
  • That would seem like something where the TOS can fuck you over, depending on where you live and the strength of consumer protections there.

    I would not at all be surprised if Ubisoft would be allowed to completely delete accounts in several "first world" countries.

    And of course, even if you're technically legally protected, getting that right in a court against ubisoft

    Looking for a Browser to manage Web-Apps better, needs to spawn multiple instances limited to domains

    Hi there, I'm looking for a Browser that lets me open it multiple times in multiple instances (each showing up in multitasking), a Browser limited to lets say wikipedia, one that's limited to imdb, one for lemmy etc. And if I hit a link from Wikipedia to Wikipedia in the Wikipedia browser it should open in the same instance. But if I open a Link to something else, it should open in a different instance (or a single general one)

    I'd also like each of them to have an individual home screen button.

    Is there something like that?
