- Comment on Shenmue beats Doom as the most influential game of all time in BAFTA poll 21 hours 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???

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

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.

Nothing like this should ever rely on an external server.

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? 4 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.

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