Everyone who cares about the imageboard format cares about it because they like 2channel/4chan culture
- Comment on Two former Polygon editors say they are launching Mothership, a new game publication, on January 26, to analyze games through the lens of gender and identity 1 week ago:
I really don’t think that the prude left is as un-prevalent as this comment wants to portray. They get what they want quite a bit in the UK and Australia (often by finding allies with the prude right tbf,) and even outside of that, they’re not particularly hard to find, and perception matters. And to someone with no strong political convictions, they could easily see a ton of leftists advocating censorship of some boobs in some game and take that at face value as “leftists are prudes.” I can’t even say it’s unjustified, Trump has tons of policies that I was told not to worry about because they were fringe. They’re more serious than boobs in video games, but the principle still applies.
And to be honest, I really do think a visible amount of people on the left really are uncomfortable with depictions of sexuality and even just romance appealing to straight men. It’s like, a sizeable amount of people on the left have this strong fear of anything giving men “unrealistic expectations.” And sometimes it’s not ecchi booby gags, sometimes it’s shit like “women having common interests with you,” as if not being heteropessimistic is now misogynistic.
- Comment on 'Backtracking Development Again Was Out of The Question' — Nintendo Says Metroid Prime 4's Open World Hub Was a Victim of The Game's Lengthy Development 2 weeks ago:
I feel like people’s perception of what “open world” means has drifted. I see people claim that GTA isn’t open world because it has linear progression. Like, they think BOTW defines what “open world” means.
Do you have a seamless, interconnected world that is the primary place the game takes place? Open world.
I would bluntly state that Metroidvanias are open world, and also aren’t the only open world games that have been around since the NES.

Emo literally stands for “Emotive Hardcore”, i.e “Hardcore Punk”
Goth music is rooted in Post-Punk.

I will never get why, for so many, to be sexually attracted to a person or type of person is to want to subjugate them.
Is it just because I’m submissive?

You seem to think that having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but I strongly disagree.
In terms of population I don’t think having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but “adversary” is a geopolitical term.
On the stage of geopolitics, the current US government acts in favor of Russia.

Is Russia even a US adversary anymore?
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 1 month ago:
They’re the ones that are pressed that a different sport is called football in two countries.

So we can’t have good social services like in Europe, but he adopts the kind of thing that makes Europeans fucking annoying to talk to.

- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 1 month ago:
My personal answer is that people, particularly left-of-center folk from other Western countries, want us to feel like it’s our fault. The way they talk about us.
I don’t truly believe it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t internalize it. Maybe it’s an autism thing.

Yeah I really don’t like the “blue collar good tech bad” undertone here

Yes. I very much remember it being uncontroversial to call the N64 retro in 2010.
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 2 months ago:
Fediverse should’ve been what got called “Web 3.0.” It seeks to correct problems with Web 2.0 (many of the same ones that the blockchain Web3 purpoted to solve even) through new technology. Just as Web 2.0 tried to democratize the internet by emphasizing user generated content, Fediverse seeks to democratize the internet by distributing ownership of the servers.

Graf Zahl has always been a bit of an ass, but did he just stop caring about the quality of his work?
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 3 months ago:
Half-Life 1. It’s literally the only game I’m aware of from after 1985 that I truly think “aged badly.” Doom '93, Quake, and Unreal are still stone cold classics, even Wolf3D is fun in small doses. HL1 is a mess of control oddities and obtuse game design. I dropped it at the end of the train level when it required me to do an absurdly precise jump where getting it was basically luck to finish the level.

- Comment on My friend got this when she tried to view a Reddit post about a dental issue that got marked as NSFW 4 months ago:
Politics, tech, and Star Trek are the only three topics on Lemmy in any significant numbers. The gaming communities are mostly politics about gaming, the porn communities are mostly dead, and forget anything more specific (other than Trek of course.)

There is no way people would be as tolerant if this were about like, Argentina, despite the country haven fallen victim to similar politicians. Or even Italy, another rich but declining nation with dominant Conservatism.

- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 4 months ago:
I believe the only reason adult games aren’t as popular in Western countries as they are in Japan (and I think elsewhere in Asia?) is because there’s a stereotype that they’re low quality, which came about because of the ESRB (not sure about other countries’ rating systems) basically making it so there was no money in it in a pre-digital download world.
- Comment on Anon watches youtube 5 months ago:
It’s because YouTube used to be mostly independent creators, even when people first started making money off it. That was the sales pitch.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 5 months ago:
You were getting sports?
It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.
