Work on your reading comprehension, mate. Edit: oh, it’s you. Actually don’t bother lmao

Shame then, since even if you were right it’d be pretty fucking difficult to empathize with in any way.

Kind of a disgusting sentiment, not gonna lie.

while in many cases people take things too seriously, avoiding “the N word with a hard R” at all seems relatively easy

The tankie stuff turns out to still remain a hard sell, who could’ve imagined… (block lemmy.ml if you can, if you can’t, switch platforms and then block .ml)

One unfortunate limitation of the fediverse is that blocking undesired categories of content is harder than on reddit: when you block a subreddit, it doesn’t exist on 50 other instances. None of the fediverse stuff handles that gracefully, the “subreddit” approach was just not a good choice for this kind of thing.

That way maybe some of it will be accurate.

Gotta respect the longevity of this tweet

Also, the entire web stack, the entire history of email, Javascript - the horrors of the universe just happen

First one, then depression kicked in and I was neither

Soundtrack was damn nice though. David Wise (and Kirkhope from other Rare games of the same-ish era) wrote some excellent stuff.

Not ridiculously pedantically, of course… but yes

They don’t.

Clear or curate (remove anything political) your watch history, start liberally (hue hue) blocking shit. Install BlockTube. (uBO and SponsorBlock are also a given, just slightly less on topic)

They’re trolling, no point feeding the troll.

Shocking.

GoT’s final half and definitely last season pissed me off to no end at the time, but in retrospect I’m glad I don’t have to care about this anymore.

“We will be GLAD to return when Christians & Those who fear God and HATE evil! Thank ------ You,”

… yeah, that seems about right.

Shit like this is why I wish instance blocking dealt with users, too

It’s more of a permanent flooding situation, but, well, election year. I just block shit that gets to be a nuisance - some instances are entirely devoted to shrill screeching, some have legitimately decent communities that just aren’t worth the astroturfing/doomposting/negativity/politics/malicious management/people being twats or 100 other reasons. None of it’s missed, except it shows how much of a ghost town this is when you remove the ragebait.

I lost my (several pages long) blocklist in the kbin.run disappearance, Lemmy actually having instance blocking does a lot to make it easier to build back up. I do wish blocking an instance also blocked its users, which doesn’t seem like the case.

I think the oldest thing I’ve played is mostly just NES stuff. Some of those will have been ported arcade titles or whatever, otherwise it’s plain ol’ SMB1 (1985, I think). I still play SMB3 ('88) quite often.

No, they’re pretty much just dumb. In tech, this works along hype cycles where there’s gotta be some new thing all the fucking time, and it cures what ails ya and is perfect for every case. This mostly involves taking any actual merits of [new tech] and blowing them way out of proportion and context, making it the best thing since sliced bread. This invariably makes people invest because hype is more important than making sense. When the cycle for that particular tech winds down into the Trough of Disillusionment, a new one shows up.
