  personally, it’s kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i’m not fully aromantic, but also it’s only happened once so i’m probably on the aro spectrum somewhere

  but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others

  (and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it’s just a meme)

  big fan of oxygen tho, i have to say, not a big fan of that atomic mass. i think we need to give a neutron to those ^15^O to make it a nice, round 16

  maybe it’s just that I hang around good parts of the internet now, but i saw that “no one:” format so much more back then

  i still see it sometimes now, but around 2018 it was everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I view others in social media⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “no one: absolutely no one: not a single soul: character: punchline”

  going back to 2018-era youtube comment sections is painful

  you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.

  they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel

  french politics

  have you seen french politics? like actually?

  i know that when compared to the US it may as well be a socialist utopia but french politics are awful. france is one of the countries most responsible for imperialism and colonialism.

  its nintendo, im sure they’re going to find some way to raise the price for everyone else too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  using last-gen hardware in their consoles

  I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

  but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

  • killing emulation projects
  • patenting basic gameplay elements
  • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
  • charging full price for basic rereleases

  and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

  • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
  • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • attempting to kill video game rentals
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i said ubisoft but quality stuff by sony or microsoft (or any big studio) goes on sale too like a year after its released

  for nintendo, a 7 year old rerelease of an 11 year old game is full price! even at retail! and the used copies aren’t much cheaper!

  the only mario games on switch that go on sale are the mario + rabbids games, which are pretty good (definitely better than some 1st party nintendo stuff). the reason they go on sale, well, they’re published by ubisoft!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  • actually dangerous extremist

  • guy in a ninja costume with a knife

  • weird meme

  • completely made up stereotype

  1/4: do better next time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  also, at least ubisoft shit goes on sale, and the used copies are less expensive…

  for nintendo, once in a blue moon the game will have a 10$ discount and that’s it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  yikes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  remember when they released a 60$ HD upscale of a 40$ game that, itself, was at some point permanently discounted to 20$?
