Looking at the ratio of my downvotes I guess here haha.
I’ve thought about how to respond to your comment for a while. I don’t want to “out” some niche communities here for being toxic. That just perpetuates the problem I’m complaining about. So instead a non niche example are the Nintendo and video game general communities here are overwhelmingly negative compared to their reddit equivalents.

Oh shit that’s what the lyric meant? Damn deep lore on that show. I always thought it was a metaphor for his hospitality.

I’m confused if this is in support of coconuts being mammals as plants are living. Or you aren’t aware that plants are alive.

Oh that’s an interesting thought that I hadn’t had.
Hopefully we aren’t becoming the containment board.

Yeah I was bored the other day and opened up a niche reddit community and I was just floored at how positive everyone was versus the same community here. But I digress I imagine it’s going to be phases and I’ll continue to try and be positive.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 5 days ago:
I’ve noticed this a ton over the last two or three months. Lemmy has become so much more negative than it was when I joined. It’s a real bummer. I can’t even imagine trying to be a mod or an admin.

This was the first anime I ever saw. I had no idea why people liked the genre after it.
I got the VhS at a goodwill.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff 2 weeks ago:
Lots of stuff to bitch about with GW but prices aren’t one of them. Exhibit A is the article you’re responding to, they are responsible with their profits and put them where they should. Exhibit B is they could minimize costs and outsource the entire plastic operation but they still make all models in England. Exhibit C is paying for Art is always morally the correct thing to do, even when mass produced. Finally Exhibit D, fuck GW for promoting incredibly short lifecycles for their games and pushing an almost weekly FOMO event on products that leads a lot more to these profits than just model sales.

It is like risk but cooler! And honestly you don’t need a 2k point meta army to start with. For the price of two or three $60 video games (guess I have to preface that now) you can have enough models for you and a friend to have an absolute blast.

No problem. I had a similar reaction “wait isn’t that Welles” and went googling myself. I just had a head start on you since I recognized him.

- Comment on Codemasters confirms layoffs as EA-owned studio shifts focus away from beloved rally games 5 weeks ago:
Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 1 month ago:
I mean we will never know but 5billion is a lot no one else is going to throw this much to VR. Gaben will buy another Yacht before valve spends this much. Apple will never care about gaming. Microsoft and google both develop as though they can’t focus on any project.
Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.
Itch.io hosts some amazing game jams, and maybe we will see Godot and Unreal take up some slack but not five billion dollars worth.
- Comment on Meta axes VR game developers amid $4.97 billion Reality Labs loss 1 month ago:
I know people don’t like Zuck and meta in general. But flooding VR with money was a good thing for the medium. Lots of small teams and independents who otherwise couldn’t have developed for VR got to.

Lemmy lately has been on an outrage fest it’s getting kind of exhausting. Topics in just about everything I follow are almost all outrage with out critical thinking.

Just saw a copy for 100 dollars at a GameStop in the Portland area yesterday. Crazy how expensive this game is now.

For double smite ima eat gyrodos sushi off of a Pokémon trainer’s naked body in an underground club.

Spoiler
I am aware and mostly shitposting but I want to thank you for your effort to educate me. People like you are good for the internet. Now back to shit posting.
So Gyro taste like sushi?

Gyrados is the Drake of dragons.
- Comment on Best starter hands-down 1 month ago:
Oof. No wings or limbs, evolved from magikarp. I think you need to reassess cool dragons.
They are a cool fish monster tho.
- Comment on Best starter hands-down 1 month ago:
Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.
I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1

I had the wall power adapters as a kid so battery life rarely kept me down. But yeah you’re right.

I’d recommend the dlc. It’s fun to see the characters again. I got lucky and on my first time through the game the second dlc released so I was able to play them both kinda in my run.
- Comment on Most under-utilized consoles? 1 month ago:
Honestly everything sega.
The master system had a built in maze game which was incredible to me as a kid. The Genesis/Mega Drive was fantastic but its add ons sega Cd and 32x were barely utilized. Saturn and Dreamcast both abandoned far too quickly.
I recently played my first Saturn game and honestly had my mind blown knowing what the competition was doing at the time.
Gamegear was dope too when you compared it to its contemporary.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI - Sometimes you just want to turn your brain off and punch big, dumb monsters 1 month ago:
So hot take here, while the side quest activities are filler the lore they add is great. There are some very touching moments at the end of side quest chains. Especially Torgals chain. Made the side quests worth it in my mind.
I also ended up getting the dlc for the game which I seldom ever do I just enjoyed it so much and wanted more. While the rpg elements are light. I really enjoyed rocking the different powers in combat and felt very flexible on my builds.
