  • a lot of savings

    Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

    So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

    Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

    I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

    My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.



  • 5h25.

    J’aime bien bosser à 6h. Le monde se réveille, la ville est encore calme. Autour de moi il n’y a que la voirie qui s’active à nettoyer routes, trottoirs et vider les poubelles publiques. Quelques autres travailleurs du matin sont présents, souvent du staff de l’aéroport, on se reconnais entre nous et nous saluons de ce signe de tête trop matinal. Parfois des touristes stressés qui prennent l’aérobus pour avoir leurs vols du matin nous accompagnent, il n’y en avait que deux ce matin mais la valise était immense, ça sent le long courrier.

    Les samedis et dimanches à 5h c’est une autre ambiance. Il y a des groupes de gens bourrés qui sortent de soirée, personne n’emmerde personne mais c’est clairement différent de la semaine, c’est animé. Le kebab du coin ouvre exprès pour satisfaire la horde de zombies qui fait la queue pour éponger tout cet alcool, malinx le lynx. Je me dis que si un jour j’ouvre un snack, ce sera dans un quartier avec des boites de nuits car je n’ouvrirai que les samedi et dimanche entre 4 et 6h du matin. On est sur des tarifs suisses donc je te fais un grand croissant fourré jambon/fromage local pour 18 balles, 22 pour le croissant raclette. Le chiffre de la semaine est fait en 4h avec TVA de seulement 2.6% car c’est à l’emporter. Ensuite c’est la glande, c’est beau.

    Mon dernier dimanche 5h il y avait une centaine de personnes sur la place en face, que des étudiants de l’Uni, sortant probablement d’une soirée spéciale. Une voiture de police qui s’arrête rapidement et constate que tout va bien, c’est bon enfant.

    Ils vont tous dormir alors que je vais bosser, j’aime bien les tôt.

    Mais j’aime surtout finir le boulot à midi 😎


  • Welcome fellow cheese lover. If you’re from where I guess you’re from, we have a few communities for our big plus country.

    Most of normal French speaking in on the jlailu instance, example the not very active !suisse@jlai.lu.

    I think there are some English Switzerland communities and I don’t know about German, they are probably linked with the main German instance (like we are on jlailu with the rest of francophonie).

    And as IRL, Italian speaking part does not exist 🤷🏻‍♂️

    But you’ll find plenty of cool communities not related to a country or language. My favourite type are the ones where you can speak about whatever you want.

    Also as a nice to know, you can blacklist keywords on several apps (and communities, peoples or instances), that way you can avoid the US politics spam around news communities.

    It takes a little while to craft your perfect lemmy experience, but once done it’s a cool place!






  • Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.

    I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.

    The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.

    Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used to 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.

    As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.






  • The video game?

    I also was very used to drink while gaming and sometimes still think about getting shit faced to enjoy my gaming day.

    But then I realize that’s not true. When drinking you end up playing less cause you need to take a drunk nap or whatever. You spend quite some time being idle or not really into the game as your now poisoned brain can’t thinks that well.

    You are also worse at the game cause you’re drunk. After a while you don’t do multiplayer voice chat as you can’t speak without sounding drunk. Your aim becomes shit as your vision gets doubled. In an MMO like RuneScape you might fail your skills rotation almost every time.

    Nah, trust me bro, you’re not better at video games while drinking nor it makes you play for a longer time.

    Another motivation was “I don’t want to be the drunken teammate always unable to play correctly after 22h”, I entirely stopped multiplayer games because of that.

    Now that I don’t drink I can play coop games again and chat with friends without being a burden.
