  Don’t give me hope like that.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨Anon is waiting for Japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because Japan is in decline doesn’t mean America isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inching closer to the grave every day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  50% of what Gen X thinks is zoomer slang is actually jokes at zoomer slang’s expense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We already knew that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are, some people aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨What my front page looks like with no-politics content filter on⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just think the nature of how Lemmy came about and who created it means that it’s mostly used by very serious people worried about the state of the world.

  It’s one of the reasons I still use Reddit honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The US wasn’t run by Nazis in 1939 though. The same (rather popular) guy was President in 1939 was President in 1941.

  It’s very possible Germany becomes run by Nazis again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes Super Mario Bros⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A sense of entitlement to features in a creative work not made by you is the real selfishness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could say I still run my 2015 PC, but it’s Ship of Theseus’d at this point, the only OG parts left are the CPU and mobo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SHAME.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen Europeans make the fact that Americans don’t generally drink unpasteurized milk into a “yanks dumb” thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the context of Lemmy, my best explanation is that tankies hate Orwell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every other time I’ve encountered this argument, it’s been an argument in favor of racism and xenophobia, often a Nazbol argument like “socialism only works if no diversity.” I refuse it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the Communists are willing to do what they say we need to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're the same picture.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temperatures⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, we know Nintendo does have in-house developed emulators that they used for Virtual Console and then NSO and the Classic Edition.

  It’s fairly likely they didn’t take the effort to port those to PC for the museum, but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kotaku being Kotaku⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Minecraft is mostly popular with people who were 5 - 12 years old 10 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fascists provide easy (but often fake) answers to hard problems. Loneliness, the fear of replacement, that kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Asmongold an alt-right "entrypoint" influencer?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He strikes me as more a rube that occasionally picks up alt-right talking points than a dedicated follower. At least on one occasion he called out Moon, a shitty right wing video essayist, for lying, but he went really hard on anti-Sweet Baby Inc. content.

  So I guess he could unintentionally? But intention doesn’t really matter here. His fanbase probably leans right too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Look you've just to got read the prologue that was a limited edition IHOP giveaway in 2015 and the story is awesome⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fate is only difficult for people who are adamant about watching adaptations. And even though I do think the UBW anime at least reaches the threshold of “good,” it’s still inferior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t explain gay men.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reject reality⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was “want you in my room when the baby is sick” until today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass (Opinion)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Game Pass is a profoundly stupid decision. It doesn’t make it’s money back and now Xbox users are used to not paying for games. And from a consumer perspective, enshittification always eventually happens with subscriptions.
