- Comment on How is nobody talking about the fact that The Simpsons Arcade Game got home ports to DOS and Commodore 64 but not NES, SNES or Genesis -- and didn't arrive on console until Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? 12 hours ago:
Who wants to feel old?
spoiler
More time has passed since the 360/PS3 release than had passed between the arcade release and the 360/PS3 release.

Nintendo/TPC: “See, this is why you need to buy both (or all three) versions of a Pokemon game, every time we release and re-release them. Our lawyers will be in contact if you choose not to comply.”

Sometimes they have hall effect sticks, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they have back paddles, sometimes they have extra bumpers instead. Which is which? no clue

- Comment on You never forget your first 2 weeks ago:
Growing up I had a Genesis because I wanted to play Sonic 2. I remember 3 of my friends also having a Genesis, only 1 that I remember had a SNES and he was also one of the 3 with a Genesis. There were 2 that I remember stuck with NES, 1 played on his family’s PC (ooh fancy), and 1 I don’t think had any video game systems. The first real Nintendo fanboy I met was my college roommate, but that wasn’t until the mid-00’s.
SNES probably was better, but I had more exposure to the Genesis so that’s what I wanted.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 weeks ago:
That’s cool and good for you and all, seems like you had some good bases to build from, but that ain’t me.
I’m not big on skills or practice. Can’t rekindle a curiosity that I’ve never had. Can’t stick with anything long enough for self-improvement. Never enjoyed reading. No career to speak of, worked food service more than anything else.
I’m just running out the clock. Day by day, week by week, year by year.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Better that they change their mind on bad policy than stubbornly stick to it
- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I don’t have any of that curiosity, ability to fulfill needs, things to care about or make better either.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 2 weeks ago:
I think some people are, but not everyone. But the people most prone to that future shock are the older, wealthier generations, and they’re using their wealth and positions of power to take out their confusion and fear on everyone else that still sees that the world has room for improvement.
- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 weeks ago:
I hope your perception of time is greatly accelerated in that case, I know I couldn’t stand 500 years of failure, I’d off myself way way WAAAYYY before that.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 weeks ago:
Based on this part
you can pursue whatever you’re passionate about
I wouldn’t have anything to “contribute” as I wouldn’t consider myself passionate about anything. All I would do is consume media if all my other needs were met.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 2 weeks ago:
The same way I do everything: poorly.
- Comment on does patrick stewart’s head look like a football with a face? 2 weeks ago:
I assume he means an American football. I mean, I’ve never thought that myself before but I guess I can see where he’s coming from. But really the width to length and roundedness of head/chin aren’t quite right for that comparison.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
The Mayting season, even.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
Marriage doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, if a couple chooses to spend a lot on their wedding they’re doing it for that sake, but it’s not necessary.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 weeks ago:
Because people facing deportation aren’t billionaire donors, so the law doesn’t work for them

But then they’ll just start fucking to that rhythm, everyone knows it’s the best song to fuck to
- Comment on What is the best take your blood pressure to get the most accurate results? 3 weeks ago:
Due to medical issues, my mother has had several doctor visits the last couple years and part of that was monitoring blood pressure. The only items you listed that was mentioned to her was to have feet flat on floor and legs not crossed. For everything else, as someone else said, I think it’s more important that you’re consistent, i.e. either keep your arm down or raised every time. Obligatory iana dr., this is not medical advice.
