  maybe it’s just that I hang around good parts of the internet now, but i saw that “no one:” format so much more back then

  i still see it sometimes now, but around 2018 it was everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I view others in social media⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  “no one: absolutely no one: not a single soul: character: punchline”

  going back to 2018-era youtube comment sections is painful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie Dev Who Pulled Game From Xbox In Solidarity With Palestinian-Led BDS Hopes Others Will Do The Same⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.

  they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel

  yea, for historical preservation purposes, having the original source code will always be better

  but in practice, what we have now is good enough to do basically anything you’d want the source code for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨28 years later, Lego Island's lost source code has been rediscovered – but the fans who spent nearly two years painstakingly decompiling it by hand "can't have it"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  to clarify: the decompilation is done. so we have the source code, one way or another.

  (well, it’s not completely done since it doesn’t compile to the exact same binary, but it’s very close - just go watch the video OP linked, it’s good)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  french politics

  have you seen french politics? like actually?

  i know that when compared to the US it may as well be a socialist utopia but french politics are awful. france is one of the countries most responsible for imperialism and colonialism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  tbh these people would probably say linux is too niche anyways

  but, like, imagine a project that’s entirely free, backed by donations, fully open-source, and so successful that it’s name has become a generic term for what it is. a project so successful that basically everyone who’s ever been online has used it and uses it frequently. a project so ubiquitous that almost everyone takes it for granted.

  too bad that doesn’t exist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  some weird wannabe social network with no large corporation behind it and no VC money in the bank cannot work, should not work, will not work.

  techbros can’t even imagine something working without capitalism, they truly have no imagination… no wonder they made genAI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  using last-gen hardware in their consoles

  I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

  but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

  • killing emulation projects
  • patenting basic gameplay elements
  • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
  • charging full price for basic rereleases

  and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

  • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
  • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • attempting to kill video game rentals
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i said ubisoft but quality stuff by sony or microsoft (or any big studio) goes on sale too like a year after its released

  for nintendo, a 7 year old rerelease of an 11 year old game is full price! even at retail! and the used copies aren’t much cheaper!

  the only mario games on switch that go on sale are the mario + rabbids games, which are pretty good (definitely better than some 1st party nintendo stuff). the reason they go on sale, well, they’re published by ubisoft!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  • actually dangerous extremist

  • guy in a ninja costume with a knife

  • weird meme

  • completely made up stereotype

  1/4: do better next time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  also, at least ubisoft shit goes on sale, and the used copies are less expensive…

  for nintendo, once in a blue moon the game will have a 10$ discount and that’s it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yikes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  remember when they released a 60$ HD upscale of a 40$ game that, itself, was at some point permanently discounted to 20$?
