  But this isn’t the formula for all games. While we might agree that games from 2000 or even 2010 are “showing their age”, at this point 5 to 8-year-old games are less and less likely to be seen as ‘too old’ by comparison to hot releases.

  As someone that grew up in the '80s and '90s, it’s wild how much different the pace of change in games was then compared to now.

  In 1991 I was playing NES games, in 1998 I was playing Half-Life. Every single thing about the experience of video games changed in that span.

  In 2017 I was playing Breath of the Wild, in 2024 I’m playing more or less the same game in Tears of the Kingdom.

  Capitalism: “No.”

  How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

  Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

  God heals, but always within the exact parameters of what is possible by the modern medicine of that exact era.

  Amputees unfortunately can still go fuck themselves.

  Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

  Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

  The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

  It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

  YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

  You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does Bluesky have that Mastodon doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

  I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Another version, with a discount for owners of the original games.

  Of course, OpenLara is free…

  Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that’s the actual value they’re watching, did you ever think of that, Mr. Pessimist?

  (Sorry, junior dev somewhere out there. I tried.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Madden should not be 70$⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anytime I consider buying a Madden game, I watch a YouTube video of competitive play for the latest version. It always reveals how garbage the football sim part is. It’s all audibles and hot route spam and exploiting the useless AI in the same ways over and over again.

  I’ll never buy a Madden game while all that crap is in there. They should make it so that spamming audibles and hot routes causes players to blow assignments and false start all the time, but the average “competitive” Madden player would probably die from nonstop crying and pants-soiling if EA did anything like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Madden should not be 70$⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Football video games were such a big part of my childhood in the 80s and 90s, but football video games died the day NFL2K died.

  Linus criticizing Steve on “proper journalistic practices” shows an incredible lack of self-awareness.

  Never left. Never would leave. Chrome was always a trap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most religious conservatives support capitalist ideology?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of people who are critical of capitalism aren’t necessarily advocating for an entirely different system. Rather, they’re advocating for dealing with the problems of capitalism head-on, rather than pretending that they don’t exist and allowing them to become worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the future of Lemmy vs reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy has enough user activity to fulfill my time-wasting needs.

  There doesn’t need to be one website that EVERYONE is at. The Web didn’t used to be so damn consolidated.

  I don’t give one shit about “Lemmy vs. Reddit”. I care about Lemmy having active communities to engage in, regardless of what is happening on some other website.
