The insane experiment paid off! This game of games is a pure expression for the joy of gaming. I’ve put some hours in just poking around, and find myself consistently pleased at everything I play. Not everything is my type of game, but they still stand out as well made and even drew me in a couple times. Warp tank was the first to really grab hold of me and I want to beat it first.

People keep saying it’s like alternate reality Nintendo, and it’s clear why just by looking at it. I think it’s more the crystallized memory of how those days felt as a gamer. The magic of sitting in front of an old zenith on a rainy day and playing that weird rental you found. UFO 50 is like the smell that triggers a powerful memory you haven’t had in decades. I can’t wait to jump back in.

I’m more commenting on where I live. It’s common knowledge not to play in the lakes or waterways here.

Have fun. The water isn’t supposed to be that color or smell by the way. Notice nothing lives in that water either. Even Beau miles won’t kayak it. You do you though.

Uh huh. You don’t get to label what I do and don’t support. I’m absolutely against the genocide, but I’m also absolutely aware that there are online campaigns to sway things towards a Trump victory. To deny that well known reality means you are either staggeringly ignorant or complicit.

If you aren’t either, you’ll freely admit to the truth.

Can’t counter the point they actually made huh? Yeah, that’s pretty typical.

What really sucks is that this poor person’s cause will be scooped up and used by groups trying to sow division, and don’t actually give a flying fuck about the genocide. If you want to engage with accounts using him as a bludgeon, look through their history first. If it’s legit, fair enough. If it’s obviously a political account, point out what they are doing and block em.

This person went as far as they did for their belief. The least he deserves is not being used by fake bullshitters and bot nets. If you can’t agree with that, you’re disgusting.

He did very poorly. His base is largely racist whites. Harris knows that very well and made sure to embarrass him in ways the base wouldn’t like. Belittled him to his face as if he was nothing, and smirked at his impotent old man rage. She made trump look old and bumbling, and even conservative media is having trouble denying it.

He looked weak and it will cost him votes. Especially since his campaign is barely trying dogshit at the moment.

That was from before we knew better. We’ve seen since then that it is indeed racism and hatred that powers the Republican base. That’s why the GOP doesn’t need to have any real policy laid out anymore. They just have to promise to hurt the “right” people this time around. Any sane Republicans that existed then are voting Democrat now.

Nah. Biden was old and tired. Trump is a bumbling insane person who was easily led by the nose. A strong woman of color made trump look incredibly weak to a base made up of racist whites. Trump was obviously the worst performance.

Undecideds are fake by and large this time around. Just media bullshit or liars getting airtime.

You’ll tell yourself that because you want to be like that, so you strive for it. You need to believe you’ll escape your essential humanity. You can’t. You won’t. Rich people are entirely the same exact creature we are. Cannot purchase your way out of that. Call history fairy tails all you want, but you won’t convince me, I’ve been on both sides of the coin. I know from first hand experience how utterly basic and human rich people are.

They are not unique or special in any way. They are just people. They have more nice stuff and they have power, but they are still just the same species of clever ape we all are. If they all died, they would just be replaced. We replace billionaires all the time. We treat the money as more important than any meat behind it anyway.

Whatever you have to tell yourself as you chase the dream. Can’t buy your way out of being a human creature. There’s lots of history that shows all the money in the world can’t stop some folks from being miserable, angry fucks.

I’ve seen the word sociopath used plenty on Lemmy, but never you attached with it, like you are in this thread. Makes your little personal crusade seem fake.

Karma is horseshit, yes. But I do feel a little nicer when I find out one of the mega wealthy is perpetually unhappy. It’s proof that all the money in the world can’t save people from themselves.

Doesnt work anymore. Maybe if this is about the Starbucks CEO. Swift at least responded to criticism and swore to use less flights. I’m not sure the CEO cares at all.

It’s almost like these are bullshit posts with an agenda.

Grifters grifting grifters in a death spiral of enormous scale.

I’ve been firmly diagnosed with ADHD, once when I wasn’t even being tested for it, but ADHD markers were high enough that they asked if I was seeking treatment for it. That being said, I can read books just fine. I’ve read tons, and not just fiction. I have several nonfiction books about scientific topics I’m into. I’m currently reading a book about British royalty just because I like David Mitchell’s comedy.

I cannot imagine that I’m special. I’m certain that there are other ADHD power readers. It’s a way to hyper focus after all. I know sitting to read is a common problem area, but not always.

That’s why I mentioned insomniac, or another dev of that caliber. It’s a pipe dream, but it’s fun to think about. Doesn’t even have to be Bubsy. Imagine rockstar taking a crack at Glover. What’s your dream team of failed mascot and proven dev?

You know what, fucking Bubsy. Let’s see another one of those fuckers. Let’s give it to a dev like insomniac though. That’s what I want to see. Let’s take something that never quite pulled it together and make that shit shine! Give Bubsy his chance in the sun.

There’s a fair amount of failed mascots that had small followings or good ideas badly executed. Instead of rehashing the already beloved, let’s see some genuine attempts to redeem some of the benchwarmers.

It fundamentally can’t. Humanity has seen plenty of miserable rich folks to know the innate truth of that.
