Good news! America is about to rejoin the rest of the world in having multigenerational households, because we can’t afford to all have our own places for much longer. This has been coming for a while. If you have a home large enough to support that, this is probably a good thing. In fact if that becomes the norm (again) it would probably support future development of the country in good ways, having a higher population within a given area and having a significant percentage of that population be both children and grandparents incentivises walkable communities with accessible shops. It could go a long way towards decreasing car dependence.
But that’s all long term. In the meantime we’re all broke as hell so get ready to possibly live in the same house with your grandkids too.

Worse. They treat people how they think they are treated. They think it’s getting even, or not falling behind. Everyone in the world is going to try and grift you for something, so you’d be stupid not to try yourself.

No, you’re missing the point.
This was a conservative space. It is now unmoderated. So the rest of Lemmy came in here to spread some truth around now that you won’t get banned for pointing out the obvious.
It’s mostly just “trolling” by filling this community with anti-conservative news.

- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 1 week ago:
Fusion has always been my favorite. I “want” to not like how linear it is compared to the rest of the series, but when I get started playing it again that never seems to matter to me anymore. And because of that game structure, the game is very well broken up into chunks of 20-30 minutes of gameplay at a time which makes it excellent for playing on a portable console. I played it on a borrowed GBA-SP for the first time back in the day, a few more times after that emulated, and most recently I’ve been playing it again on my Steam Deck within the past week, I’m like 2/3 of the way back through it again, just took down Yakuza for the Space Jump last night before bed.
Fusion is also a huge story point for the series as a whole. It introduces the X and by doing so gives context to the existence of the metroids. And seeing that referenced again later in Dread was maybe one of the coolest moments I’ve experienced in the Metroid series.
Speaking of Dread, that one is a very close follow up though. I was super hype for Dread when it released and it is one of few games in recent memory that completely lived up to that hype. I was a big fan.

Gold will not hold value if the market crashes like that. Food, water, and land will be what holds value.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 week ago:
I just openly laughed right at them when I was told that, especially because my dad was no longer able to keep up with my math homework by the seventh grade.
These days I’m out on my own, with a house and a fiancée, still play video games as a primary hobby, and he’s a Trump voter in a shitty apartment that doesn’t talk about anything except crying about all the n[REDACTED]s and transes. One of us sure rotted his brain and I’m pretty confident saying it probably wasn’t me.

- Comment on Gamers go offline in retro console revival | The Guardian 2 weeks ago:
Minus the “pay $5 to skip” part, retro games are overwhelmingly more likely to be the second than the first. How do you keep someone playing your game for longer than a weekend, in an age where games are 12mb you can’t add new content after you ship? You make your game hard as balls and require a ton of grinding.
Not all games were like this, but tons were. Final fantasy, Ghosts n Ghouls/Goblins, Battletoads, and more all follow this pattern. Even Pokémon isn’t exactly hard but half of the game is just grinding.

- Comment on MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs 2 weeks ago:
They are definitely super willing to break the seal, just nobody has built a good target ID system yet that won’t fire on civilians.
If you just need everyone in a 10 mile radius dead, you could send in the hunter bots, or you could just shell the area with heavy artillery from three countries away. We already have that problem solved. Once we have a reliable target ID system I guarantee you’ll start seeing unmanned equipment in war.

The only way to get everyone to get along is to create a new, even lower underclass of citizen for the humans to all feel smug about. This is that.
This started as a joke but the more I think about it the more afraid I am that I’m right.
