  Excellent troll.

  Millennial kids knew about rotary phones, and floppy disks, and dot-matrix printers. Was still fun to rib at the older generations ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss play-by-email games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like so much fun. My college’s email game was someone accidentally mass emailed to the whole school roster and everyone replied with a smartass comment until it got shut down lol.

  Happened a few times a semester, too.

  Anarchist praxis and using the levers in the current system to better ends are not mutually exclusive. The line is understanding that the state itself is largely not built or operated in the in the interest of the common people.

  We can hold our noses and vote, and show up to local councils, and not put all our eggs in one government/corporate-appointed basket by building mutual aid and having each other’s backs.

  If politicians are actually throwing some action behind slowing down the mess they’re complicit in, that’s great! In the meantime, there’s a video on here showing the BPP protecting people in Philadelphia as a solid example of good anarchist(adjacent) organization and action.

  One-or-the-otherism leads to nothing getting done. And hope is definitely an important part of resistance. We’re all in this together, for better or worse so we should fight side by side.

  TL;DR: anarchists are on your side, no need to frame us otherwise. /gen

  ~20 min. old account with a political essay in a shitpost community. That’s…something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pasta bowl of nades⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Jewish kids get a bar/bat mitzvah, Italian-(American) kids learn and make their own sauce.

  And each person has their own unique take on it, so no two people’s sauces are quite alike. Finding out who was cooking dinner at a gathering was fun that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash soaps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll tack on that some folks need a separate face wash, as the harshness of regular soap can screw up sensitive/dry skin.

  Still, fully agree. Any singular soap is going to be better than a hodge-podge “all-in-one” bottle of god knows what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the 2DSXL, and have played about half of those. I was just sad it was primarily limited to mostly online (Pushmo’s servers are dead) and first-party titles. I was a GBA/DS kid so expected wider variety beyond that.

  It’s a fantastic little device for modding though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Apple/most smartphones would never move to USB-C, or away from proprietary chargers. Pleasantly surprised - thank you EU.

  I thought wireless controllers were going to be a fad, or at least garbage in their reliability/connection strength.

  I thought VR was finally going to take off as the next major gaming experience when the Vive came out. Unfortunately it remains niche.

  I thought Linux was going to be unusable for gaming/mainstream use cases for much longer, but Valve has made huge strides on that with Proton, and OSS devs making things like Heroic for other stores has been awesome.

  I also thought we’d never get another steam controller. Also pleasantly surprised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the switch was gonna end up with the same depressing library as the 3DS, if that’s any consolation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Point no. 2 is why I couldn’t get through Witcher 1. There’s only so many times I can fight 3-5 sewer monsters to get enough XP to not die in chapter…4? 5?

  • Just Crow Things
  • PowerWash Simulator
  • Wanderstop
  • Thank Goodness You’re Here!
  • Night in the Woods
  • Hello Kitty Island Adventure
  • Cinnabunny
  • Unbox the Room
  • April Grove

  At some point I still want LAN Party Adventures, and The Lonesome Guild but those will wait until the next sale. In the meantime I have plenty to sink my teeth (thumbs?) into!

  Same. I was able to get like 10 long-wishlisted games for ~$100 with the Steam Winter Sale, too. Nintendo would never.

  It’s a shitposting community, so probably a fake text.

  No mention of the iPod? Shocking

  Either engagement bait or cropping out some cheesy instagram tag, most likely.

  Still, he’s got nothing on Oxnard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PFP Evolution⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stardew Valley (and its many farm sim clones), Slime Rancher, Balatro, and Chicory: A Colorful Tale are just a few off top of my head. I can delve into my games libraries and list a bunch more lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PFP Evolution⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Join us in the world of cozy/puzzle games, where quick time events can go to die and you don’t have to treat a game like a full time job to be good at it 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel that. Most of my twenties were spent kinda flailing without much plan since I wasn’t expecting to still be alive.

  Cheers to still kicking 🥂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s an alt-ish music scene, there might be some small shows you can attend locally. Even if it’s only for a bit, you’d get to share a space with other community members in the area.

  If it’s an art-based scene (like furries, anime fans, etc) there might be a smaller convention or a game shop that hosts tabletop events since there can be overlap.

  There may also be online communities, as a physically easier entry point.

  Hope you’re able to find some small reprieve/joy in the meantime. /gen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like punk, goth, metal, or furries. /pos

  It’s completely normal to have sentimental attachments to positive influences in your life! Those people were/are your friends, however long they lasted.

  I’m sure that scene would also welcome you again, should you decide to revisit it more directly.
