- Comment on Is it a pattern that most of Zendaya's haters are right-wing or is it just a coincidence? 3 days ago:
And definitely not known for Dune or Spider-Man.

Very low cost cosplay

This seems paranoid to a silly degree

- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 6 days ago:
I think I preferred the design of the ps2, personally.
- Comment on Is this green or blue? 6 days ago:
I would definitely call that blue.

With weird pro-slavery undertones!
- Comment on Silent Hill 2 remake studio Bloober are working on another Konami series and it's "truly special" 1 week ago:
I’m guessing…Gradius.

They’re still making this shit, huh?
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds | Review Thread (89/100 OpenCritic) 1 week ago:
Steam yes, GOG no. Also PSN.
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 1 week ago:
Those were kind of annoying because it was essentially luck if the draw which one you got.
Records could also have bits at the end meant to loop as the needle bounced. The Beatles’ Day in the Life has this, which sounds weird in other media.

Not all of them, only if it had Redbook audio.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Lemmy is the right sample to ask this question. Definitely a lot of gamers and tech enthusiasts here.
Personally I avoid doing computer tasks on my phone if I can at all help it. Have both desktop and laptop that I prefer to use.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
The specific devices impacted by this are pretty old (I think only the first and second gen ones? So at latest 2009), so honestly I doubt they’re very worried about it.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
You can still use calibre to sideload onto them. Where you get the books is another issue.
- Comment on You know what Mega Man needs? A gun and the face of a middle-aged smoker. 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s likely that it wasn’t capcom us rejecting the japanese design. Far more likely that Capcom JP didn’t share marketing materials with US branch and left them on their own to figure out how to market it. Japanese companies not taking any interest in how things were localized for other markets was completely the norm during that time period.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Are there endless wars? A lot of people don’t like .ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear and they’re defederated by a lot of instances, but that’s not really a hot war. Outside of that most drama seems to be about certain mod/admin decisions. But that kind of feedback loop is by design. People are supposed to have opinions on whether they think instances are well run and aligns with what they’re looking for…and if it doesn’t align, that would be a good reason to switch instances. I see more fretting over how to make Lemmy more popular than arguments about instances.
- Comment on PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well. 3 weeks ago:
You mention that PayPal was bought by eBay (in 2002) but not that it was spun off again in 2015. They’re separate companies. If anything, Venmo is a competitor of PayPal.
- Comment on Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
Defaulting to any one instance would be against the goals of federation, I think.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 3 weeks ago:
Apple basically killed my chance ogg had by not supporting it on ipods. Which was unfortunate.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 3 weeks ago:
Most people are archiving in FLAC but the reality is that almost nobody can hear the difference between 320 (or even V0) and FLAC. So in cases where the disk space makes a difference mp3 still makes sense.

Bees???
- Comment on New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out 5 weeks ago:
I’m not a huge fan of it still but at this point it’s not a bad game, just not to everyone’s taste (which btw seems to be true of most open world survival crafters… I’ve noticed that being a fan of any one of those games is a poor predictor of whether you’ll be a fan of any of the others).
- Comment on Rumor: Marvel Is Making Another Avengers Game 1 month ago:
I’ve wondered why Disney hasn’t moved into that field, but I bet they look at MS’s experience as a huge cautionary tale. Massive company, very tech savvy, was willing to spend a ton of money to get a big boost in the industry…and 20 years later was it worth it? Disney’s main thing is its valuable IP, not software. Games studios don’t really integrate that well with the rest of their business. AAA games get more expensive to produce every day, even moreso than blockbuster movies. Probably more profitable to license their IP to the highest bidders and let other companies shoulder the risk.

The arcade beat’emup wasn’t bad

This makes me wish I could currently see comments on posts on sh.itjust.works. Bug in sync is making it not work.
- Comment on Did rap become more popular in asia in recent years? 1 month ago:
The first time I went to Japan was during this period and a lot of the bars were specifically hiring black men to stand outside and get people to come in.
- Comment on The Last Of Us Part II will require a PSN account to play on PC, making it unplayable in over 100 countries 1 month ago:
Their games on PC still seem to be selling pretty well.
- Comment on Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty 1 month ago:
shrug I guess we’ll see but I don’t think it’s at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don’t see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.
- Comment on Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty 1 month ago:
Well we still don’t have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.
