  I’d absolutely post this online but I wouldn’t wear it as a shirt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frequent TikTok users in Taiwan more likely to agree with pro-China narratives, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s people who run apologia for anything the Chinese government or even Chinese business does.

  Meanwhile I remember that TikTok helped Trump’ s youth outreach campaign with the message they gave when US access was restored, so they’ve already signalled they’re not on my side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like SMW better myself (actually not a single franchise entry on that list is my favorite in the series) but it doesn’t have the kind of unanimous praise SMB3 does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to take this as “games that I never see anyone question their quality.” (I don’t even like all these games myself)

  • Sonic 3 & Knuckles

  • Kirby Planet Robobot

  • Doom 2016

  • Street Fighter III: Third Strike

  • Pac-Man

  • The House in Fata Morgana

  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazonian tribe that received Starlink satellite internet sues The New York Times, TMZ, and Yahoo for $180M over defamation and more, claiming a viral 2024 NYT story smeared members as porn addicts.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More evidence that the panic about porn addiction is a psyop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨George Floyd Murdered (2020) On this day in 2020, a Minneapolis cop murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. Floyd's death became the catalyst for protests around...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it. I very much do remember that, for the first day, you could hardly find someone who thought Floyd’s killing was just. Then the “but he had a past record” and “he OD’d” (???) talking points started coming up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s looking like they will, but then the results will be fudged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s maybe not that hot a take to people who grew up with the Apple II.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What If History Had Taken a Different Path?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The 32X was one of the things that killed Sega. Making add-ons or expansions for existing consoles has proven to be a failed business model.

  Stating this unilaterally overlooks the PC Engine CD, which has more games than the base PC Engine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dont worry about your retirement plan...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t give me hope like that.

  I’m more optimistic than the average Lemmy user, but that’s too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most under-utilized consoles?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Atari Lynx. Remarkably powerful handheld for coming out two months after the Game Boy, but no truly memorable games that aren’t ports (which could be said about all of Atari’s non-2600 consoles tbf.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s usually a Bible but you’re allowed to swear on anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that Mario Kart is worth 90, it’s that a lot of these AAA games aren’t worth 60.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When BAFTA’s poll reached Lemmy, I did think a lot of you were overrating Doom. It’s definitely in the top ten, but not number 1 IMO. Tetris, Minecraft, Super Mario Bros, and Pong definitely belong above Doom IMO.

  But Shenmue??? Maybe top twenty, but number 1???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think cold balkanization is both the most likely and most optimistic scenario.

  I’m curious why you think it’s most likely. Most optimistic, I agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup will brick $800 emotional support robot for kids without refunds⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing like this should ever rely on an external server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it’s fucked up that it’s the norm, but also anyone who isn’t a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn’t belong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but that’s keeping in mind that, contrary to popular belief among the types that go on Lemmy, most people aren’t ideological. They don’t care that Democrat A is this and Democrat B is that, they care about who they think will help their lives, ideology be damned. So, a lot of the people that socialists would call “libs” would vote for Bernie, BUT, most of those people think of Sanders primarily as “more liberal.”

  People who are actively aware of the difference between neoliberalism and social democracy, I’m not sure. But I honestly think they’re a rounding error in US politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temperatures⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the other two cold ones are unsurvivable weather. 21F is very survivable.
