- Comment on Undertale will be 10 years old in 3 months 12 hours ago:

(the switch 2 version comes out at 00:00 on thursday no matter the time zone tho)
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 day ago:
in the west too our phones spy on us but everyone knows, everyone thinks it’s bad, and yet nobody cares
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 6 days ago:
personally, it’s kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i’m not fully aromantic, but also it’s only happened once so i’m probably on the aro spectrum somewhere
but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others
(and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it’s just a meme)

- Comment on George Floyd Murdered (2020) On this day in 2020, a Minneapolis cop murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. Floyd's death became the catalyst for protests around... 1 week ago:
it doesn’t feel respectful to call this a shitpost, but it’s still good to share
- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 1 week ago:
i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly
personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!

big fan of oxygen tho, i have to say, not a big fan of that atomic mass. i think we need to give a neutron to those ^15^O to make it a nice, round 16
- Comment on How I view others in social media 2 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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

- 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" 3 weeks ago:
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" 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 month ago:
its nintendo, im sure they’re going to find some way to raise the price for everyone else too
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 1 month ago:
its kinda sad how one of the biggest women’s community on the lemmy/main side of fedi is !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone…
i mean, it’s a great community, but yea.
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 1 month 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.
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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!
