And the usage of “you people” feels intentionally pointed. Insulting to everyone’s intelligence/sense of empathy.

Then they go on to claim that they’ll make sure mass shootings won’t be tolerated in this country. Well where the fuck has this person been for the past few decades?

Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg’s banana joke.

I think it’s more like he fell near his sword such that it went harmlessly in between his arm and side, played dead for a few seconds, then checked through one half-open eye to see if anyone bought it.

I mean I know most of this admin are complete buffoons, but for some reason I can’t give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe because it took this long to own up to it, and other people in the group chat denied multiple times that it even happened.

Oh definitely, it’s just that when I searched the communities, the only result was on .world

I’d love to see an active expanddong community here. Looks like .world has one but it’s super dead :(

You’re right, the tracks are pretty short. But since the game is from my childhood it just has that special something in my heart, you know? And I also agree that the controls could have been better. If you make it to the part where he jumps into the robot dinosaur (my PFP, I forgot to add), there’s a nice variety of weapon pickups to keep the combat at least a tiny bit interesting.

Either way, I’m glad you gave it a shot!

I must admit, nostalgia has an outsized influence on my enjoyment of the things I grew up with, but I’m glad other people are giving it a chance! Like the other person said, the music is a little repetitive, but a lot of games were like that back then. Not everyone can be Koji Kondo!

There’s a game for the NES called Dynowarz and the main character’s name is Professor Proteus. The game is… not great. I loved it as a kid even though I was terrible at it. The music rules though, and I’ll die on that hill.

I’ve never seen a single other person talk about this game since I played it back in the early 90s so I wanted to give it some love 😊

I’ve always been very curious about this technology, but I imagine that they wouldn’t be as good at transmitting high frequencies. I’m no audio engineer so it’s only a hunch of course. Do they sound comparable to a decent pair of buds in the ear?

Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.

It’s so goddamn predictable, isn’t it?

The lesson here is don’t troll these idiots, they’ll fucking believe it and then start passing idiotic laws for non-problems.

Exactly this. Just like flat earthers (and that super bizarre one about time cubes or whatever), the rubes will gobble it up and eventually people will get hurt over it.

Another one is the Birds Aren’t Real meme, which I think is pretty funny, but you just know that an innocent birdwatcher will get shot some day because an extremely mentally unwell person will assume that they’re some government spook checking on the “drones”.

Welcome to Lemmy! It’s much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.

Please don’t be discouraged if your niche hobby isn’t represented here. I’m not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn’t exist, go ahead and create it! 😁

So what would happen if the user upvotes something benign and then the OP edits their post to something violent?

Not every bit, assuming we survive him.

I fear that this will lead to so much Intel leaking that it will put War Thunder players to shame.

It’s time only when it affects their pockets. Fucking leeches.

Please! It would be such a nice improvement!

I want to get out of here :(

I haven’t seen anyone else ask, but I have to know: what’s your Linux distro of choice?

Those that hate LGBT just can’t stop talking about hate and spite.

Don’t forget their weird obsession with the genitals of complete strangers. It consumes their ability to ponder things that matter.

As a fellow ashamed american, I feel you. I’d keep my mouth shut if anyone asked, if not out of shame, then out of (admittedly paranoid) self-preservation.

I hope the rest of your vacation has been/is great!
