- Comment on How is nobody talking about the fact that The Simpsons Arcade Game got home ports to DOS and Commodore 64 but not NES, SNES or Genesis -- and didn't arrive on console until Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? 14 hours ago:
No, a super corporate title would be “Analyzing the Platform Disparity: The Unconventional Release Trajectory of The Simpsons Arcade Game Across Home and Console Systems”
Which you’d probably find less clickbait but would be absolutely perfect for aligning synergies.
If your critique is that I tried to wrote an interesting title, guilty as charged. But who doesn’t try to be interesting?
Thing is, this being Lemmy, there’s no incentive to click. Clickbait literally implies a reason to click. The pertinent thing worth seeing is already in your feed.

True, but the C64 version definitely wasn’t authentic. 😅

- Comment on Trine Was a Masterpiece. Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, they’re successful and sold a boat load of copies. I already mentioned that.
But there’s no retrospectives. Go on YouTube, there’s nothing in how groundbreaking this title was. No articles written about it in the same way something like Cuphead or Shovel Knight.
Popular, yes. Very much so. But also culturally forgotten.

No what was said was the “Groups are Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon”.
That is to say that Groups are not for Mastodon, so Mastodon users should be content with hashtags.
But Mastodon users use Lemmy groups from Mastodon, and better group integration is already being planned by Mastodon themselves.
Ergo, groups are for Mastodon.

Nope, not a Piefed photo stream. All those photos (so far) originate either from Akkoma and Pixelfed.
It looks “just” like a Piefed photo stream because I’m sending photos there. 😊

You don’t need to make a single interface, just a “meta-interface” that allows you to switch UIs on the fly.
That’s entirely doable within a client.

Sure, here’s the URL:
Also, you might want to look at getting a better Lemmy client.

Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use !lumoura@piefed with my Akkoma account.

Not only is it possible, there’s lots of Fediverse software that’s just designed to be a “dumb server” akin to Nginx. For example, appy:
Now the reason this stuff hasn’t caught fire yet is because we’re just now moving away from “Fediverse = Mastodon”. So the idea of federation itself isn’t just a paradigm shift, it’s a complete system shock that disrupts our mental models for how social media is supposed to work.

Mastodon is terrible for topical discussions because people don’t use groups. But they can if they knew how to use them.
Now you may say the system was not designed for cross-pollination, but the fundamental system is not Mastodon, and it’s not Lemmy: it’s ActivityPub.
Now do all these apps implement ActivityPub imperfectly? Yes. But eventually, some app will get it right—ideally one that will let you choose your preferred UI/UX on the fly.

What if I told you that you can use Lemmy with Mastodon right now—and that many people do?

For real. He replied to my Akkoma post, which tagged this Lemmy group. 😆

At this point, why not just get a PC?
Just put Bazzite on one, hook it up to your TV, and it becomes a console anyway.

The format never made it big in Canada so I was oblivious.
But I still have many Walkman models, and I love them.
