You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.

You better hop the Bobs don’t come through your place of work looking to make changes.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 days ago:
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way my boss can’t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I’d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.
The thing is, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care. It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and the company ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing,I have eight different bosses right now!
So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.
Now they are trying to offer me some kind of stock option and equity sharing program? I have a meeting tomorrow where I am probably going to be laid off.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 week ago:
This was going to my answer as well. While spelling on the internet is pretty bad, English isn’t the primary language of many people on Lemmy.
- Comment on What peripheral do you think should make a comeback? 5 weeks ago:
Not sure I’d want it to come back, but this post brought back the memory of Boktai. It was a gameboy game where the cartridge had a built in light sensor that let you charge your weapon within the game.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 1 month ago:
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think it will just be cycles (assuming we all survive long enough). I’m in an industry where the large companies are imploding and smaller companies are starting to shine again, eventually those companies will likely become big as well and implode.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 1 month ago:
Old printers on ebay are going to be the new game, until we start seeing kickstarter flooded with new printer companies.
- Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well? 1 month ago:
Correct. It does not funnel all the conversation into the same post, which is probably most people’s preference.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 1 month ago:
I think the uphill battle here is that a good amount of the active users on lemmy are probably very tech savvy. The percentage of us who aren’t, are doing it wrong in their eyes.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 months ago:
I blocked a lot of news communities, because it was just consuming my feed, so I also missed when this happened.

Isn’t that kind of how I ended my whole comment?
- Comment on Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console 2 months ago:
I think you’re forgetting the thing that is also stopping me from doing a lot of random ideas myself. It’s an extra thing to carry.
I often think “man it would be great to use my sp again”, but I can just emulate on delta on my iPhone. It’s the reason I don’t have the PlayDate and why I also don’t have a dumbphone connected to my iPhone even though I’ve thought about it as well. People want to reduce instead of adding more. It’s the reason it still drives me crazy I have 5 remotes for my TV. People just prefer to get a device that can do the most. Hell my parents in their older age are now to the point they don’t care about PCs anymore, they just have a tablet they can add a keyboard to if they want.
All this is not to say this shouldn’t exist. But if it does I really do hope they take full advantage of the setup and do try to innovate and make creative games that would only exist there.
- Comment on What do you think about centralised clients? 2 months ago:
Do we have a percentage of people who visit reddit on a computer vs phone? I assumed by now most of them used a phone, so those same people would keep using phone apps.
- Comment on Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console 2 months ago:
My initial reaction was “oh cool”, but I have a feeling most of the games would be something that can just be played on a tablet. I’ll keep an eye out, maybe it’ll be more versatile than the PlayDate.
- Comment on What do you think about centralised clients? 2 months ago:
I assumed most apps already do this? I believe the voyager app defaults to lemm.ee now because .world is large
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
I’ve mentioned a list with info of some nature a few times, with people shutting down the idea. It always boiled down to “the instances may lie about what their instance is about”. In their heads what their write may be the truth, even if it isn’t. This would leave it up to a third party to make summaries of these instances, which may or may not be agreed upon. There may be too many drastic and conflicting ideologies.

Megaman Legends Megaman Battle Network Jetforce Gemini

Given that they remade Chain of Memories entirely, I am really surprised they never did it for 358/2.
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 5 months ago:
This is a very good example. I am going to steal this in the future.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 5 months ago:
I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 5 months ago:
Some higher end brands come with shoe horns. I have a few now. I will say in all my years I have never broken or deformed one though, and I have some cheap ones from amazon too.
