- Comment on This is my greatest achievement in retro gaming 1 week ago:
Kudos to you for archiving games you own!
- Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Mean people existed before the Internet, after all.
- Comment on YSK that murder is now legal in California. Fully legal. Slaughter a family of four by driving over the speed limit. Go home. 2 weeks ago:
This YSK is not a YSK, and it’s also counter-factual.
There are other communities for you to post things that you’re outraged about.
- Comment on YSK that if you hesitate between Ketchup and Mustard, you should pick Mustard. It's healthier. 2 weeks ago:
Given the choice between coke or water, pick water. It’s healthier.
- Comment on How does one acess Rhythm Tengoku's Debug Menu? 2 weeks ago:
Ah, gotcha. I’d considered that, but figured if you’d looked up an image, you would’ve also looked up how to get there, haha
- Comment on The 'No ICE in Minnesota' charity bundle is live on itch.io 2 weeks ago:
No AI vibes.
Everything is spelt properly, aligned well, and uses the same font! Lol
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 2 weeks ago:
They definitely know you’re 42. Kids these days don’t have the attention span for longer, plot-heavy cartoons like TMNT.
- Comment on How does one acess Rhythm Tengoku's Debug Menu? 2 weeks ago:
Try the third one from the bottom. That’s the only one whose name doesn’t seem to align with an obvious game mode to me
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
The DC had so many great specialized controllers!
Maracas, a fishing rod, mouse and keyboard…and even the regular controllers had screens!
- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 3 weeks ago:
Why are you choosing to be like this?
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 5 weeks ago:
The reason has to do with money.
Over 5 years, someone can get a first job, a raise, finish paying off debt, etc
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 5 weeks ago:
- They aren’t making more of them, so supply only ever decreases
- People are finding reasons to get these consoles
- The “target audience” is increasingly finding more disposable income. While they couldn’t spare the $100 years ago when they were cheaper, they can find the $300 now (for whatever reason)
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 5 weeks ago:
Sometimes “man” is more of an exclamation than a term of address.
I’ve noticed kids are seemingly using “bruh” this way, funnily enough
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 5 weeks ago:
Convince them to stay home because the election is a foregone conclusion
- Comment on Dreamcast controller 5 weeks ago:
Oh, fascinating! I’ll have to look into it some more later, but do you know if it supports receiving VMU information from the game?
Like Sonic Shuffle showing your cards on the VMU
- Comment on The betrayal 5 weeks ago:
It did rarely matter.
I think emulators can give little windows for the screens now? But no controllers I’m aware of can actually display them (including an official DC controller with a VMU…no adapter sends data back, and the emulators don’t know how to send it anyhow)
- Comment on Do these murderers or mass shooters or hostage takers do they actually commit suicide more often than not? Or does a cop take a good shot and blame the offender as suicide? I would do the latter 1 month ago:
They probably do take credit for their “wonderful” handling of the situation.
They didn’t have an easy shot on the guy, and were to afraid to go get one.
I mean, I would be too. But that’s why I didn’t sign up for a “serve and protect” job.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 1 month ago:
That makes sense. It didn’t even cross my mind that someone would connect their phone to their car’s audio system specifically to take a call unless they were driving, lol
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 1 month ago:
Ah, gotcha. I was wondering why someone would be sitting in their unmoving car while having their phone connected to their car’s audio. So I figured this was while driving. But I see how I misinterpreted it now.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 1 month ago:
Isn’t it unsafe to use headphones while driving?
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 1 month ago:
You can still be overly respectful to the teachers – I’m sure they appreciate it!
(Especially when there are parents who seem to treat the teachers as retail workers…)
- Comment on New York City is being recreated at 1:1 scale inside Minecraft — project is 5 years in and contains over 50,000 buildings so far 1 month ago:
This project isn’t just a one-time build either. Instead, they’ve rebuilt several sections to ensure the accuracy of their Minecraft version of NYC.
Man, it’s going to suck for these guys if the US has a civil war
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 1 month ago:
If it’s a statement, definitely.
“Bomberman has lore?” is generally not the standard formation of a yes/no question. They’re usually formed for with the verb “do”.
If one wants to know if Amazon sells books and wants a yes/no answer, one would generally ask “Does Amazon sell books?”
If someone is browsing Amazon and finds books unexpectedly, they would be more likely to say “Amazon sells books?”
However, in some dialects of English, the two might be interchangeable. I think it might be the case for Indian English, to give an example.
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 1 month ago:
“Bomberman has lore?” as a question would generally be some sort of surprise or suggestion that it goes against expectations.
“Donald Trump is a young man.”
“Donald Trump is a young man?” – response to a statement that went against expectations.
“Is Donald Trump a young man?” – neutral, general question (if additional context or tone is absent)
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 1 month ago:
I figured – that’s exactly why I shared that. Overall, your English is great!
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 1 month ago:
I think you meant “Does Bomberman have a lore?”
With a post titled “Bomberman has a lore?”, I was expecting the post to be either surprised that Bomberman has a lore, or surprised that someone would have said Bomberman has a lore.
Especially when paired with the picture of a game’s boxart, I thought that this post was about something lore-related on the box or in its artwork.
As to where to find the lore, I’d check the manuals, including manuals from other regions. For a lot of the 90s, the manuals were the best (and occasionally only) place to find lore!
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
“Quick! A giant meteor is heading for our planet! Collision is expected in less than a week!”
…but if I sleep 7 times while doing all this level grinding and doing sidequests, nothing goes wrong…
- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 1 month ago:
I think the point is that she was a child rapist, not necessarily a pedophile.
Some child rapists rape children because of the power imbalance etc., not necessarily put of physical, sexual, or romantic attraction.
- Comment on Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up 2 months ago:
I think the commander dude gives you hints if you keep losing a particular fight though. He’ll get explicit about the trick for Psycho Mantis!
- Comment on Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up 2 months ago:
I played MGS for the first time recently, and it felt like a PS2 game with older graphics. Would’ve blown my mind as a kid if I had it back then…with a guide, too. Otherwise, I never would’ve figured a bunch of that stuff out, haha
