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?

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.

The average Lemmite is the kind of person that thinks you shouldn’t be allowed to ignore politics

Most of Lemmy is the left wing equivalent of this guy.

As someone who’s in a similar position…I like the technology and the idea of booting tech billionaires. I don’t like how the userbase here is so monolithic, and this comment section makes me think people here like that this platform is a circlejerk.

Same thing that happened to the 2 dollar bill right? Still usable as currency but no longer made.

do you think this post is serious

Yes. I very much remember it being uncontroversial to call the N64 retro in 2010.

Graf Zahl has always been a bit of an ass, but did he just stop caring about the quality of his work?

But unknowingly, gently, they keep getting pulled towards a trodden path and if this goes on long enough we’ll have like 10 genres to choose from and that’s it.

Usually when people think in genres instead of artists, genres get more granular, so we end up with hundreds of more new words that describe minute differences. Like, look at EDM, a genre that has never really cared about individual artists. They’ll consider a 5BPM difference to be a different genre.

Given all the different “microgenres” that are popping up now, usually by younger artists, I think that tracks with music today.

As someone who isn’t necessarily big on the notion streamlining is “objectively” good game design… That more or less began to be disposed of the minute we had the technology, minus a few now-niche genres that rely on it. It was gradual, but mass market games as early as Zork in 1981, had save schemes.

Makes sense (I think what put that in my head was someone advising against booting Windows from SD Card on Steam Deck.)

Sounds like it could be a cool novelty for a little while, but ultimately it’s a waste of SD Card to make them for every game you have. Also, isn’t it not great for SD Cards to constantly read or write from them?

Pixel phones cost several times what my phone costed.

I think there is an AI bubble, but the aftermath will be like the dot com bubble: the internet didn’t go away, but a bunch of businesses that were only ever valuable because they were on the internet did.

OpenAI won’t go away, but a bunch of companies whose products are pretty much wrappers for ChatGPT will.

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.

They come for the things nobody would be caught dead defending (often even people who privately engage in it) first. Look at how during the thing with payment processors and porn games, some people were saying they didn’t mind if it were just the rape games being banned. Those are used as justification for speech restrictions to the public.

(I don’t even think KiwiFarms should be legal personally, Chris Chan’s story should be considered evidence enough that they’re a harassment forum)

4chan’s creativity died when the first Soyjak was posted.
