My intended nuances are often missed on Lemmy.
I can relate. There are a lot of users who insist on assuming ill intent where there is none.

- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 days ago:
There are a lot of people with old technology in their home that still gets used. Fax is still needed for lots of medical things, and not everyone has an office to go to.
Think retired people taking care of sick family members.

- Comment on Are 3D-printed objects waterproof? 1 week ago:
In my experience, TPU is fairly easy to make watertight. You have to start with good and dry material so it prints as smoothly as possible.
It floats pretty easily though, so you might need to print it solid or with high infill.
- Comment on Insights on the Cancelled Sony-Nintendo Console Project 2 weeks ago:
IIRC, Sony’s leadership wasn’t interested in their own game console until their partnership with Sony was unceremoniously dissolved without prior warning when Nintendo announced on stage that they were partnering with Phillips for a CD addon to the SNES.
That “betrayal” is what spurned Sony to go it alone with the hardware they had already developed as a starting point. Thus PlayStation was born.

- Comment on TPU wall thickness for shoes 2 months ago:
They will limit, but not by as much as you’d want. Plastic bags still allow moisture to pass through even when they’re airtight. I live in a swamp, so drying is a necessity before every print.

Yeah, do it!
I had a similar touch when I was younger. I’ve worked for Circuit City, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Blockbuster Video. Sadly, Best Buy somehow survived.
- Comment on What happened to Kbin.Social? 4 months ago:
The owner of the site (Ernest, IIRC) has some health issues that have kept him from being as active as he had wanted. He also wrote the frontend code as an alternative to the Lemmy software. Mbin continues onward as a fork of Kbin.
I wish him the best. I hope he gets better. I know too well what chronic illness can do to a person.
- Comment on Spike In Removed Google Reviews On September 17th. 4 months ago:
I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.

There’s a ROM download on the developer’s page. Does anyone know if that’s a beta version or a demo or…?

The game still needs to be available for the right CPU architecture.

I remember using the mouse on Wolfenstein 3D, but that was the only game I ever played with it besides Mario Paint.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 5 months ago:
Nothing wrong with knowing what you like. I grew up on arcades and early generation consoles, so my preference skews towards faster paced games with tight controls. Because of that I just don’t enjoy anything that I perceive as slow to control. To be fair though, any games from those early generations that felt slow to control didn’t appeal to me either.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 5 months ago:
Ah, but if you only go after what you want, then by definition you’re avoiding what you don’t want.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 5 months ago:
I want to like LOK:SR, but I can’t get past how much I dislike how it controls.
I agree that Tomb Raider is worse though.
