Wait, gaming is shit now and it was great in the past?
I agree about the speed of progress, but someone is forgetting all the movie games on the ps2.
Also, I’m old enough to remember the angry video game nerd reviewing bad NES games, holy shit, you have no idea how bad it can get.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 1 day ago:
I’ve had a similar experience.
For me it was more accessibility issues like timely checkpoints and not forcing the player to button mash.
I realized that a lot of my childhood gaming was possible because I just put up with gaming mechanics that need a lot of time and patience.
The past: don’t know what to do? Spending an hour just trying things and if that doesn’t work, try again tomorrow.
Today: don’t know what to do? This game has half an hour to give me a hint or I’m moving on to the next game cause I’m here to have fun damn it!

Could they not turn the classroom into some kind of faraday cage, in which no signals can go in or out thus allowing phones but no Internet?

Is it all or nothing?
As in, would raking only when it’s bad and leaving some leaves around better than full cleanups?
- Comment on Anon predicts the future 2 weeks ago:
Yep, things changed, but it’s more like it’s all mask off now.
Before covid it was all like this, except the majority could pretend things were fine.
Now it’s part of the common zeitgeist that things are not fine.
I like to say that we are now in the endgame.

You didn’t overcome it, you spend some energy that the earth will eventually get back.

Cause no one is stopping you from going to said instance and just having the discussion there.
If there was this super important leak that needed to be out there, if it’s posted on a right wing instance that is a defederated ghost town, it’s still out there. People can link to it and leverage the instance to have the needed discussions.
Censorship means removing access, defederation does not wipe it off of the Internet.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 4 weeks ago:
So they shutdown because they couldn’t federate with any other instances and considered that censorship
Damn, I actually didn’t see that coming, I guess they will move the goal post from any starting point.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 4 weeks ago:
Do they still exist? I’m honestly curious if they are active or if it’s abandoned
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 4 weeks ago:
Not only that, I’ve tried pitching the fediverse to right wing people, but they didn’t bite.
Even the crypto bros that were all about decentralization couldn’t see why a decentralized social media platform was superior.
This also didn’t matter for people who care about “free speech”.
You think the allure of being fully independent and having your own instance would be right up their alley given how they value independence, but nope.
Seriously? Why isn’t there a right wing instance? My guess is that a right wing person can’t fathom owning something that benefits others which doesn’t give them back profit.

Okay so he is the son, makes perfect sense.
Also, Leslie Nielsen was very good at looking serious and doing dead pan delivery, Liam Neeson is really good at that too.

Some thought that cartoonish villains taking over western countries while the rest of the world went to shit was far fetched but here we are.

- Comment on Movie theaters are trying everything to bring audiences back — from pickleball to cocktail bars 5 weeks ago:
But movie theatres are no longer the only way to enjoy the latest films.
That’s what it offered before, if a movie was coming out, you had no choice to either go to theatre or wait like a few years until you could rent or buy the VHS/DVD.
Theatres need to offer something else now. IMO their best chance is to become “the third place” for teenagers. They can have free hang out areas with affordable snacks that you can also see a movie there later.
But we all know they won’t cause their main motive is money.
And yeah, if you only care about movie, there isn’t much to be made anymore for offering a big screen in this digital world.

- Comment on Is ‘Mickey 17’ the latest victim of the Oscars’ newest curse? 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t realize we expected Oscar winners to make profitable movies.
I always thought they were different lanes.
I also like to see this analysis for 20 years ago before people went to the movies less and less.
Feel like Tarantino should be mentioned as he started his career with more niche and artsy films whereas his later works have been big blockbusters while keeping a high level of quality.
