So far, the highlights for me are Super Mario RPG remake, and a new Dragon Quest Monsters installment!

One day Doom will be able to run through carrier pigeons.
Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.
I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.
Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it’s all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.
I don’t think people actually would, if push came to shove. They’re just expressing nostalgia for a simpler time, which is pretty easy to understand, given all the dystopian effects of social media and smartphones.
I think smartphones have done a lot of harm, but they’ve still done far more good, which is why we use them. Especially in poorer countries where smartphones are often people’s only access to the internet.
That said, there’s nothing stopping any of these people in the article from being the change they want to see in the world. Not to send anybody to Reddit, but r/dumbphones is a fast growing subreddit for people that want to try that. A lot of the users are Gen Z who never got to try them and want to give it a whirl.
I like lemmy.world because it seems to be neutral and doesn’t have heavy handed moderators. Communities are allowed to bloom and grow. It’s scalable.
I respect what Beehaw wants to do, but their goals are not realistic if they want to be a platform of any significant size.
So far I also like the communities I’ve seen on Lemmy.ml, but there have been a lot of technical/server issues.
He comes across like an entitled child who has made up his mind and is too stubborn to admit when he’s wrong. Add onto that the fact that he bullies people with his lies and manipulation. Very much not an adult, let alone a CEO.
I really owe Steve one for opening my eyes to Lemmy. I’ll certainly never go back to Reddit, other than perhaps the occasional Google search for an IT question somebody solved 10 years ago.
But as far as actively contributing? Having a Reddit account? Nope, I’m done. I was very active on Reddit, and I haven’t posted since the announcement.
But despite me and many others leaving, I really feel for Christian and the other developers. They really got fucked. The 30 day turnaround was an absurd notice to give someone, and Steve didn’t have any defense to give for that, according to this article. He seems like a really ruthless, uncaring person.
Drug dealer character Stringer Bell in ‘The Wire’ had a good scene where he talked about the business strategy of repackaging and renaming something when you are unable to raise the quality of a product. Just rename it and customers think it’s better.
I think our generation will definitely have consoles set up in nursing homes when we are elderly. No doubt about it.
