There’s no need to ever move out from your parents if the living situation is positive for all of you. I truly believe that the pressure to be “independent” is a coordinated strategy to keep people separate so everyone has to buy their own set of everything. It maximizes profit for big corporations and landlords.

I have only managed to convince ONE person to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, tragically, because it’s my favorite tv show of all time.

Because to companies, labor is just a business expense, you’re a cost to be kept low so they can please investors/shareholders. Our system isn’t for your average worker, it’s for the people who own the businesses.

I feel like it’s hit-or-miss. A lot of people will zipper merge, but a lot of other people don’t care and mess things up.

Never have, never will.

I really don’t have a place or space to display them, so they sit in a bin on a small shelf w/ my other retro game stuff. I’ve never minded the lack of spine labels since I’ve always had them in bins, haha. There’s even some hidden gems on the platform!

Nintendo 64 games.
It was the first game console I really played much of growing up. I’d go to my dads on the weekends and he had it there, so it was this magical time, playing Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64. I’ve collected nearly all the games I grew up with, as well as some I never played as a kid. I like having it, knowing that at any time I can play them, in their original forms on hardware. Emulation is great but playing on hardware just hits different.

I shop at grocery outlet and ultimately eat very little.

I’m not sure what there is to like, honestly. Capitalism has done an excellent job at making sure that we have homeless and hungry people, despite having more homes than homeless people, and we throw away enough food to feed all of them too. conservative values led to suburban america, which is such an incredible failure in every single way. You can’t walk practically anywhere, we don’t design infrastructure for pedestrians, and we build anti-homeless architecture anywhere that we do happen to have areas people can take shelter from the elements or sit down in public (because having homeless people visible is bad for business!). You have to pay money to just exist anywhere. I’m fucking tired of it. It inconveniences those of us who have homes, and just want to be able to socialize in public places, and makes existence HELL for those of us without homes.
Liberalism, at best, wants to maintain the status quo, and is never willing to push for change fast enough to stop people from slipping through the cracks. Roe VS Wade was, quite literally, abolished while we had a liberal president. Biden is still funding Israel’s genocide.
Capitalism calls for infinite growth in order to please investors… which will stop eventually. Whether we want it to or not. They’ll just destroy the planet even more than they already before they get to that point. There’s not infinite resources, and the damage we’ve done to our planet because of industrialization and capitalism is irreversible.
So yeah.
Fuck liberalism, capitalism, and conservatism.

Most of these things are coping mechanisms, that we use to deal with living lives structured in ways that are bad for people. The 9:00 to 5:00 5-day work week is bad for you, but weed and cigarettes and caffeine and alcohol help you to keep doing it day after day. That helps the soften the physical pain, or to help you relax after a particularly bad shift, etc.
I disagree with the statement that sugar and gluten are bad for you, but at least in the US they do have excessive amounts of it into everything.
One other thing is that I think it’s bad to lump all drugs into the category of saying it’s bad for you, because every drug is different and the way they affect you varies dramatically. It’s important to evaluate drugs individually - remember that the medication that you get at the pharmacy are drugs too.

There is a lot of games that are like that that are very high quality. Splatoon 2 and 3 have pretty extensive single players that focus massively around platforming and shooting, plus online multiplayer. Mario Odyssey is an obvious one, Mario 3D world/Bowsers fury. A hat in time. Sonic frontiers. Yooka-laylee has two games. Psychonauts 2. Super Lucky’s tale. There’s remakes like Spyro reignited and crash insane trilogy. Ratchet & clank rift apart. It takes two. Bomb rush cyberpunk. Hell, I know it’s not quite the same genre but I would count Fall guys.
I know that 3D platformers are nowhere near as commonly developed, especially by big companies, but let’s not act like there’s a drought of good quality games to play that are as good if not better than the PS2 platformers…

“Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine?”
I figure that people who take the time to swap to federated social media are generally going to be people that are a little more political…
and Israel is currently actively committing genocide. So political people are posting anti-israel posts. It’s really not more complicated than that.

I just use it as a place to vent my thoughts, feelings, or frustrations in the moment. I think of it as “screaming into the void” and over time you collect a small circle of people you regularly interact with. Don’t think about it too deeply because it’s not deep

I know it’s maybe not a great replacement for everyone, but this crap is why I stopped using YouTube and just use Peertube now.

It’s the only effective ready to get a response. Stonewall was a riot.
The only thing those in power will listen to is the destruction of property, because what they care about isn’t the life of most of us. It’s money. They care about money.

Ok adolf

Sure. But eventually is better than now. Because as long as it isn’t in a landfill, and it’s not broken, it can still be experienced. Honestly, even when I’m not using my Nintendo 64 games, I like just looking at them.

If collecting brings you joy, do it. It keeps retro hardware out of the landfills.

I mean, each time he’s messed it up more, another group of people migrates off twitter over to alternatives. I also think more people in general are becoming aware of the fediverse in general thanks to what’s going on w/ reddit, but that’s speculation on my part.

These days I mostly do emulation on my steam deck, so I use it’s attached controller. It is a bit odd playing a game with playstation button prompts on it though.
With wii emulation it’s nice that you can control the Wii cursor with the touchpad by setting it as a mouse.
