Meanwhile I have done my best with my kid. My best obviously wasn’t good enough. Even a psych degree did not prepare me, and I still feel like that talk is headed my way in a decade or two. ADHD is a fucking nightmare.

The usual Lyndon Larouche stuff that was co-opted by Russian state propagandists that appeals to people smart enough to see the problems but not actually be well read into what’s been happening.

You’re spot on, I think. There are several accounts entirely devoted to pushing agendas in bad faith that go unbanned, yet this?

Fine but I wanna playtest

I want a 2D Everett True beat-em-up in the style of River City Ransom where you go around thrashing decreasingly objectionable enemies, and eventually you go too far and it becomes a doomed boss rush where the whole town rises up to stop you

Edit: This might actually be my best game idea evar, OC donut steel

It has to be faster because you’re so busy, but you have time to stand up for the honor of microwaves on Lemmy. Cool premise, but I’ll pass.

You know how food gets hot at restaurants? Turns out you can do that at home.

People still have microwaves?

Possibly WFDownloader?

Live the unexamined life? But then who will pay attention to me?

Having wet jeans that touch the ground when you walk was as normal as casual homophobia. Truly a cultural wasteland.

You call that an old meme? Tell that to the snails in the paintings.

I wish there was a special afterlife for people who are cosmically unlucky. Nuked twice? Straight to business class heaven.

This a Marxist-Leninist instance LMAO

That watermark 🚮

That burnt wojack cell

It was quite a while ago, but it absolutely occurred.

Really happy you did the thing for the meme.

The people with the correct views

Are not willing to compromise their morals

And it’s amazing that such people exist

But we need a few who are down to clown

WITCH

No this is good. We are old, come sit. Now we get to enjoy old memes through new eyes.

Accurate. I’ve known for years that Reddit was going to go this way. As soon as I heard of this place I was onboard.

Fuck off mom, he knew

Haven’t the foggiest, if you must seek it out I’d start with a “reverse image search”

To paraphrase Neal Stephenson, you come from “a long line of stupendous badasses”. Why not take a flying fuck at life?

Thanks for sharing. My most toxic coping mechanism is humor, hence the post. The best way I can process things sometimes is by laughing at the idea of suicide.

I grok, but nah there are literally people who believed this and committed “quantum suicide”. John McAfee was likely one of them.

Birds aren’t real though. Stay safe, kids.

Most classic video games are on my computer, so this study was wrong.

Robbie Ferguson is deep in this stuff as one of the development partners (IMX provides key technologies that makes the marketplace green and cheap trade on). Here’s one of his interviews to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAjYtL6SkiU

However it’s an unrealized technology, and kind of a moonshot admittedly. If anyone can pull it off it’s GameStop IMO. There’s not another global video game sales company with a vested interest in reselling digital games - the others like steam are happy to keep things the way they are, naturally (basically, DRM and no resale).

Samesies. I came to these conclusions while researching what GameStop’s up to with its token marketplace. I hope they are planning something along the lines of what I’m talking about, but if they’re not then I hope someone else does. It’s an idea whose time has come I think.

Disintermediation would be nice; More of my money going directly into the hands of game developers instead of executives. Also, people who own games should be able to resell them. Can’t do that with centralized platforms. A benefit of decentralized game ownership would be that the developer could be cut into the resale of their games, which shifts the incentive to a more long-term view. A game could be something that is supported by the “used” market, and therefore has a reason to invest in long-term value. No more drive to keep on reinventing the wheel and releasing new games every year, just keep on making the existing game better.

I like itch, but it’s no steam killer. We need a way to somehow own our digital games in a way that is not centralized to one marketplace.

I’ve been radicalized by corporate social media’s deliberate harm, what can I say.

Rorkammu: No posts. 😢

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, as they say

Being stupid always costs more than being lucky makes.
