Apparently, the Micro was the last Game Boy product that Nintendo made.
Very elegant.

And the pièce de résistance, a Game Genie.

I think they were trying to make it look like the stereo equipment of the day.
- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 3 days ago:
Incredible. This might be my new favorite.

That MSX2 is sick.

Oh, that is cool.
- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 3 days ago:
Well that was my second choice. Classic.

I’d never heard of Easter lamb cakes before, and it’s my sincere hope to never hear of them again after seeing this.

- Comment on Bombshell report reveals staggering amount of government funds paid to Elon Musk 6 days ago:
The thing about reactionaries is that they think that money is finally going to the right place. Enriching billionaires is the one thing the GOP consistently delivers on.
They’re happy to be subjects to the elite; that’s exactly how they want it. They don’t want that money spent on making people’s lives better by providing services, they want to be ruled by someone who they can see themselves in and therefore be raised up in the social order.
It’s pretty pathetic.
- Comment on Lemmy’s essential 25 PS1 games 6 days ago:
It would be a crime to forget Metal Gear Solid on the list.
Bushido Blade is also fantastic.

- Comment on It's Time for a Flat Tax 1 week ago:
You’ve got to be some kind of window-licking moron to think that billionaires shouldn’t pay more into the society from which they benefit the most.
- Comment on This is basically it. The stunlock intensifies 2 weeks ago:
Reactionaries only value the rule of law when it gives them cover to revert to the status quo ante.
They only care about one thing: power to tell you what to do. There’s no principle to violate, because they don’t think that way; to them, empathy and compassion are weaknesses to exploit. Principles are useful for propaganda, not a code to live by.
They’re willing to do anything to get it, too— selling out their country to a Nazi slug was just a bonus.
- Comment on This is basically it. The stunlock intensifies 2 weeks ago:
Simping for grifting billionaires is their whole thing. Why wouldn’t they be happy?
- Comment on Do you think progressives understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? 3 weeks ago:
Reactionaries don’t care about other people.
Even their family; they’re notorious for disowning their children for being someone different than they wanted. They treat their wives like slaves.
He’s fine with it, because it doesn’t affect him. There’s no more thought to it than that. It’s an inherently anti-social ideology.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 4 weeks ago:
Reactionary ideology is all about protecting privilege by demonizing marginalized people. They believe in zero-sum rights and privileges: in their view, expansion of rights for another group inherently means a loss of rights for them.
- Comment on Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus,' too, founder says 3 months ago:
From Wikipedia:
In November 2024, following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 United States presidential election and Elon Musk’s nomination as a co-executive of the proposed Department of Government Efficiency, Bluesky experienced a surge in new user registrations as people migrated from other social platforms, particularly Twitter. Many came from the United States, United Kingdom (where Bluesky had previously seen growth during the 2024 UK riots following Musk’s commentary), and Canada. The social app added over 4 million registered users in that week, becoming the most popular app in the US App Store and Play Store.

Right? They were awesome.
- Comment on Time to go to the Soup Store 3 months ago:
Minestrone or Italian wedding soup are both pretty chunky.
- Comment on What is your favorite Halloween older game? 3 months ago:
The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.
I imagine you’ve played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.
- Comment on What is your favorite Halloween older game? 3 months ago:
If you like point-and-click adventure games, there are a bunch in spooky territory:
Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle
There are more, but these are the ones I’d start with if you haven’t played them.

I’d never seen this community before. Subscribed!
I’m terrible at keys, but I do like to play with 'em.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 3 months ago:
Yeah, there’s no use in speed-running Reddit.
Let’s make our own thing.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 3 months ago:
I wish instead that people would post in the general communities first, then spin off into a new community if there is interest.
Like, we don’t need a whole community for the new Dragon Age game or whatever, but we do have a games community that would benefit from the post. Then if there are 20 Dragon Age posts every day it could obviously support it’s own community.
- Comment on LA Times Refuses to Endorse Harris After Backing Biden, Hillary, Obama 4 months ago:
I know you crave my attention, but I don’t talk to you, remember?
I’m sure you can find the reason why with that big brain of yours.
I will not be responding back; you are worth only contempt.
- Comment on LA Times Refuses to Endorse Harris After Backing Biden, Hillary, Obama 4 months ago:
Is playing dumb usually a successful strategy for you?
I can’t imagine it would be.
- Comment on LA Times Refuses to Endorse Harris After Backing Biden, Hillary, Obama 4 months ago:
Because the billionaire owner told them not to endorse anyone; big money always aligns with fascism.
Keep linking the reactionary propaganda site that famously had a “black crime” section though.
Fucking gross.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 months ago:
I’m currently using a trick on my Windows 11 work machine to get the old UI for file explorer by going through the control panel and going up a directory.
I’ll be so pissed the day they strip it out, because their new design language is ridiculously slow and terrible for the sake of “cleanliness.”
