Xbox 360 is easier to emulate than OG Xbox or Sega Saturn last I checked.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 1 week ago:
A lot of it isn’t an “insistence” per se as much as it’s company founders who did have some kind of connection with the product the company makes dying or retiring and getting replaced with people who don’t.
Ironically, the MBA was originally created as a way for people with degrees in more “boots on the ground” positions to learn about business so they could more easily move into management positions. What it’s morphed into is unfortunate.

The teachers union is most likely part of the opposition to the current regime, which hates both education and unions

They were there before all that, and network effect.
- Comment on Two former Polygon editors say they are launching Mothership, a new game publication, on January 26, to analyze games through the lens of gender and identity 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t think that the prude left is as un-prevalent as this comment wants to portray. They get what they want quite a bit in the UK and Australia (often by finding allies with the prude right tbf,) and even outside of that, they’re not particularly hard to find, and perception matters. And to someone with no strong political convictions, they could easily see a ton of leftists advocating censorship of some boobs in some game and take that at face value as “leftists are prudes.” I can’t even say it’s unjustified, Trump has tons of policies that I was told not to worry about because they were fringe. They’re more serious than boobs in video games, but the principle still applies.
And to be honest, I really do think a visible amount of people on the left really are uncomfortable with depictions of sexuality and even just romance appealing to straight men. It’s like, a sizeable amount of people on the left have this strong fear of anything giving men “unrealistic expectations.” And sometimes it’s not ecchi booby gags, sometimes it’s shit like “women having common interests with you,” as if not being heteropessimistic is now misogynistic.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
And you can say “block anything related to that,” but I don’t want to stop hearing about it entirely. Just not the only topics.
And even on the few active subs that aren’t Trump or Linux, there’s a lot of commenters that can’t shut up about Trump or Linux, particularly ones that think you’re a bad person if you ever stop talking about Trump.
- Comment on 'Backtracking Development Again Was Out of The Question' — Nintendo Says Metroid Prime 4's Open World Hub Was a Victim of The Game's Lengthy Development 3 weeks ago:
I feel like people’s perception of what “open world” means has drifted. I see people claim that GTA isn’t open world because it has linear progression. Like, they think BOTW defines what “open world” means.
Do you have a seamless, interconnected world that is the primary place the game takes place? Open world.
I would bluntly state that Metroidvanias are open world, and also aren’t the only open world games that have been around since the NES.

Emo literally stands for “Emotive Hardcore”, i.e “Hardcore Punk”
Goth music is rooted in Post-Punk.

I will never get why, for so many, to be sexually attracted to a person or type of person is to want to subjugate them.
Is it just because I’m submissive?
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 5 weeks ago:
I just did a new build with DDR4 because I was panicked about rising costs, and I don’t think the Ryzen 7 5800X counts as low end, or at least it didn’t when it was new. You’re probably right about it being old stock though, and none of this is relevant to laptops.
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 5 weeks ago:
Just give me DDR4 then.
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 1 month ago:
You seem to think that having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but I strongly disagree.
In terms of population I don’t think having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but “adversary” is a geopolitical term.
On the stage of geopolitics, the current US government acts in favor of Russia.
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 1 month ago:
Is Russia even a US adversary anymore?
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 1 month ago:
They’re the ones that are pressed that a different sport is called football in two countries.

So we can’t have good social services like in Europe, but he adopts the kind of thing that makes Europeans fucking annoying to talk to.

- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 1 month ago:
My personal answer is that people, particularly left-of-center folk from other Western countries, want us to feel like it’s our fault. The way they talk about us.
I don’t truly believe it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t internalize it. Maybe it’s an autism thing.

- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 4 months ago:
But unknowingly, gently, they keep getting pulled towards a trodden path and if this goes on long enough we’ll have like 10 genres to choose from and that’s it.
Usually when people think in genres instead of artists, genres get more granular, so we end up with hundreds of more new words that describe minute differences. Like, look at EDM, a genre that has never really cared about individual artists. They’ll consider a 5BPM difference to be a different genre.
Given all the different “microgenres” that are popping up now, usually by younger artists, I think that tracks with music today.

There is no way people would be as tolerant if this were about like, Argentina, despite the country haven fallen victim to similar politicians. Or even Italy, another rich but declining nation with dominant Conservatism.
