In-store payments refers to physical store locations. Steam is e-commerce. Wero has been ready for this for almost a year now and if the merchant supports it, it works like a charm.

That said, note that Wero is essentially an instant SEPA transaction so you obviously need a bank account. And, which is maybe not so obvious, your bank needs to support it. Essentially most (or all?) Genossenschaftsbanken and Sparkassen in Germany do; private banks not so much as of yet.

Could someone elaborate how Volla Phone compares to Jolla phone? I honestly thought at first this was a typo but both actually exist 😅

As a European that carefully checks the temperature levels indicated on the clothing before washing, I feel like I did it wrong - or at least overly complicated - my whole life now 😅

I’ll probably drop into the Big Run for Splatoon 3 this weekend. I’m also playing Etrian Odyssey 2 HD (which I somehow find a bit too difficult 😅). Plus - Starfox Adventures! It’s remarkable how this GameCube game looks pretty much on par with many current-gen titles. It has some minor gameplay flaws but otherwise its production values are insane

I noticed a lot of Wero advertisements at train stations etc as well, which is great to see! I already use Wero quite a lot for p2p payments but its availability in a commercial setup feels kinda limited. Only online store I successfully used Wero to pay so far was Decathlon. I know there are quite a few others that support it but some truly are so obscurely niche that it’s unlikely I’d ever buy anything there 😅

Which damage version is implemented in the European version? My memory says Japanese-style for SMB1 and American-style for SMB3 - but given I had no idea there were regional differences, I may be totally wrong. Back then, Europe mostly got a version of the American version a considerable time later than the rest of the world so I guess it doesn’t really make sense the way I remember it 😅

Check with your bank. Some offer “virtual cards” for their own payment apps. I can at least partially avoid Apple Pay this way.

This actually looks pretty cool! Love that I can use the account from my self-hosted Snikket instance 😍

For some reason, I’m really feeling the urge to get back into Team Fortress 2. It’s been ages since I’ve been active now and it seems a rather poor experience on public matchmaking servers. If anyone knows any good (European) community servers, I’d be grateful for a recommendation 😅

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter - it’s one of my favorite jrpg series (although the second chapter is the true jewel in the trilogy) so I enjoy this remake a lot. I’m already at the final boss so I’m fairly optimistic I’ll finish it this weekend.

I may also continue playing a bit Pioneers of Pagonia. I’ve been playing it every now and then as an early adopter during development but it’s finally released now. Still not sure how I feel about this game.

Holy moly! That almost makes me want to dive right back in with a tiny project 🤤

Incidentally, I just setup my own Snikket server earlier today. Worked like a charm 😌 I haven’t done a whole lot with it yet, but I like its clear admin interface and the concept of circles. I had some issues with video calls (frozen picture) though.
