It really is. Especially when Nintendo is in the mix.
It’s like an abusive relationship, thinking that one day, Nintendo will turn around and accept them.
- Comment on How I made a blog using Lemmy - a write-up 2 days ago:
You can host your own WordPress. It’s open-source software.
And there’s hundreds of hosts who provide WordPress as a software so, while they upsell/can throttle, make money off you providing hosting services, not because you’re using WordPress.

Feel like Im missing a lot of context.
- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 2 days ago:
I’ve been neutral with Microsoft upgrades for years. Annoying, but not enough to want to change.
But after Cortana, I’m done in with upgrades. I’m sitting on Win10 forever until SteamOS fully works for every game i own.
- Comment on *Doesn't look like anything to me.* 2 days ago:
I work in marketing so I look at a LOT of stock photos. And every time I go, “Ah yeah AI garbage”, i find the source date is from 1990s or something. So my paranoia is way up there now where I don’t think I’m going to be able to tell in a few years.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 3 days ago:
This is what’s insane to me.
Option 1: locked software owned by billionaires who can control the narrative and remove anything they don’t like
Option 2: open-source software anybody can use, coded by people with extreme opinions
It’s pretty clear which one is superior

You don’t like AI bots replying to other AI bots ad nauseum?

You guys were banned for comments?
I was banned for constantly up voting luigi memes.

It’s been like 8 hours since release and I’m not seeing any.
Come on internet, gimme jiggle mod.
- Comment on Please don't stop horny 1 week ago:
Can’t remember where I read it. I think fan service is dumb as fuck. But what I read made sense at the time.
But most anime isn’t trying to be the best anime ever. That’s why there’s so many isekai. There’s so many anime clones out there. And they’re trying to pay the bills.
Those panty shot scenes. Those summer swimsuit episodes. Those end up being toys and posters.
And if a thousand sweaty horny whales buy the 22-inch chibi-san to put in their man cave, that’s money to make a season 2.
And while it’s easy to laugh at these horny nerds, it really hit close to home when my wife, a person who admitted she HATES animated shows, bought a Delicious in Dungeon Senshi doll to recreate the famous fan service scene.

There’s been jokes that end up becoming reality so yearly fact-checks is appreciated

The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.
- Comment on Elevated 2 weeks ago:
Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren’t allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.
And post-DOGE, I’m absolutely mortified.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 2 weeks ago:
Covid was a glimpse.
I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.
I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I’ve met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 weeks ago:
Oh boy. If you look at Ubisoft’s stock prices, it’s way down.
Like high 80s in 2018. And now it’s 8, roughly 1/10th if it’s value.
They aren’t going to survive another few years at this rate without some bangers. How stupid their leadership has been, with NFTs, with their sexual harassment lawsuits, with bonehead anti-consumer practices is just accelerating this downfall.
- Comment on Hotel prices 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know about that.
More like most of them have giant backpacks, lots of tourists, and one really huge creep that wants to sell your liver.

“legally”
Remember when Trump told EU companies to stop DEI policies and EU laughed? It goes both ways.
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 3 weeks ago:
I take a short breath and pull out my phone.
I notate when I last saw them.
I then pull out my document of every major event that occurred to me from point A to point B.
They look confused.
I comfort them.
I gently remind them that I’m on this ride with them. And if they didn’t want to be informed, they shouldnt have asked.
I clear my throat, and start at the top of the list.

That’s me too. And personally, I think you’re my type of person to talk to.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 3 weeks ago:
Seriously. I see comments like this all the time but no examples.
Just the idea that a developer would care so much to create something like “If user doesn’t consent, ruin their experience”.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 3 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t really matter for most sites hosted in America. American businesses do not have to comply unless they have EU customers.
International sites like YouTube absolutely has some system that will switch the cookie tracking depending on geo location.
But American sites don’t really gaf. Small News site in America, unless they’re paying for a fancy Cookie Consent Management tool, is doing it the US way and it’s opt out, regardless of where you’re coming from.
For example: if Kansas News site gets a warning from the EU about cookies, they’re not going to care.
If you hate this, stop using American products and services. (And I say this as a privacy concerned American)
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 3 weeks ago:
In the US, it’s the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they’re collecting the moment you land.
I’ve set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely this.
2010s was a wild west of downloading multi pack codecs BS. Just let me play the video!
- Comment on Clean butt 3 weeks ago:
I was like you a few years ago.
The crappy ones feel like that.
Then I sat on a fancy one that sang me a lullaby and gave me positive encouragement as I pooped. My god, my entire butthole is so fresh.
I now understand.

The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 4 weeks ago:
Halo MCC version over the original.
I saw Halo running on a classic Xbox and tried to play with the clunky Xbox controller. Couldn’t do it. Everything looked so low res and blurry.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 4 weeks ago:
There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?
I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.

I just played the original System Shock and System Shock 2. Incredible games.
I saw the trailer for the remake for the first one and wanted one last memory before I get my mind blown.
