They use the “Russia deserves to rule the world” part of the Soviet Union’s ideology, not the “communism” part.

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?

Marineland is still trying to continue existing?

Not as ridiculous as it sounds if you read the article. They rejected the argument that they were attacking the fictional character and not the people, because they were clearly targeting the people.

The comments aren’t illegal everywhere (honestly it’s the kinda shit that gets said about every Vtuber, to the point where it’s banal to me) but Korea probably has stricter defamation laws than, say, the US.

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.

this shit was a bad tactic when the communists were doing it with Gaza and it’s still bad when the liberals are doing it with Epstein.

Multiple issues matter. I don’t think dismissing people’s concerns about fucking school shootings helps your cause.

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.

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.

You know millennials are the least fascist generation right?

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.

Canada got the message. Why don’t you?

Trump could get overthrown tomorrow and Lemmy Europeans would find a way to bitch about it

Berlin could get nuked and Lemmy users would call it a distraction from Gaza

“No ethnic nationalists”

I hate it when Europeans bitch and moan about how much American news they get. I’d be a hypocrite to whine about the one piece of news I get from the most populous country in the world, which is actually kinda similar to something Trump would do.
