- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week 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.

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)

- 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. 1 week 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... 1 week 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 1 month 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... 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
It’s usually a Bible but you’re allowed to swear on anything.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 1 month 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? 3 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 5 months ago:
Nothing like this should ever rely on an external server.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 6 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? 6 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 7 months ago:
Yeah, but the other two cold ones are unsurvivable weather. 21F is very survivable.
