This feels like Twitter all over again
- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 3 weeks ago:
They slipped “God” into it in the 1950s. So probably a sizable factor in why we have Christian nationalists now
- Comment on The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well 3 weeks ago:
People could use SVG animations + JS to accomplish the same thing. It just never took off for some reason
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Trump and the Trump Administration are the same thing. Just assume if someone talks about one, they’re talking about both
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
He’s also only targeting cities in blue states. That’s why Texas and Georgia haven’t been invaded yet

It’s the opposite actually.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 months ago:
One of the main thing Spotify has going for it is indie artists, without a label. And so a large portion of my collection will not be on services like Tidal or Apple Music
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
You can tell she’s a piece of shit just by looking at her
- Comment on No matter how hard he tries, Elon Musk will never be as cool or as respected as Martha Stewart. 2 months ago:
And she’s not cool. So a pretty low bar to not be able to pass

Japan has laws that say executives must take a pay cut before they can lay anyone off
- Comment on It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books. 3 months ago:
I don’t want to burn the books, just strip Rowling of ownership so she doesn’t profit off of them any further is all. Maybe put them in the public domain early
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 4 months ago:
This won’t affect FF 17, but it could mean for a return to turn based with FF 18. Because FF 17 is probably already half way through development and these massive games are too large to make such a major change this late in the dev cycle

No publicly traded corporations count in the “shop local” concept

We’re talking about Superman, right?

This feels dystopian and like overreach. But that said, there definitely is some porn on the 4 platforms they cited. It’s an excuse sure, but let’s also not deny reality.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 4 months ago:
I’ve heard the 3.5% static for major general strikes being effective, not so sure about protests.
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 4 months ago:
And you’re clearly a troll. Goodbye

30+ years of studying game and software development lol
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 4 months ago:
The key ingredient that separates PC from console is you can deploy code custom optimized for the fixed platform hardware. This is why you have to go up a tier in GPU to have an experience on par with what a console would have because it’s running generisized code.
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 4 months ago:
Still not ported to a console. SteamDeck gives you a console-like experience, but it is not a console

Yeah only way to get the original soundtrack is via emulator or an actual cartridge. I think it only pertains to Sonic 3 though. I don’t think part 2 (Sonic & Knuckles) had the same issues
