on Apple is reportedly working on iPhone game controllers in c/technology@beehaw.org · 14 Sep 2026
The app store is the biggest video game storefront in the world by revenue (play store beats it handily on volume), so it makes sense to start selling video game accessories.
I just hope the controllers are long lasting and easy to self service, like valve makes. I have my doubts with Apple.

Depends on style guide. Many say all uppercase initialisms use just an ‘s’ when plural.

Yes! Too much hate for Firefox for imperfections while the chromium-based browsers are so much worse.
Sure use Librewolf or waterfox if you want, but people have to stop poisoning the well that is Firefox. That just pushes people back to chrome and edge.

on Kayinworks - I Irrationally Hate RetroAchievements in c/gaming@beehaw.org · 8 Aug 2026
I find that how much I care about achievements parallels how well they are done. Some games I care almost nothing, especially when the achievements feel tacked on. Other games, the achievements represent thought-out developer-suggested goals or progression and feel right. If I trust the developer’s choices in creating achievements, I enjoy the achievements.
As such I don’t care about RetroAchievements at all. The achievements aren’t a part of the game. They end up either trivial or tedious. If I want a tedious challenge and can’t come up with one myself, I’ll see what people who love and have mastered the game tend to aim for.
It’s not an oppressive society for Sergey when Sergey is an oppressor. Forcing him to be slightly less of an oppressor? That would be real oppression.
