I love it when companies think the (often invented) number of pirated copies has any meaningful correlation to lost revenue.

My girlfriend and I have one Nintendo Switch. We share it. But the only modern Nintendo games I play are the Legend of Zelda series. Since Breath of the Wild, when a new one came out, we’d buy it right away, and then I’d end up placing a copy on my PC to play so we could play together.

If Nintendo thinks I’m gonna buy a game twice just to play at the same time as my partner, when we only have the one console, think again. If Nintendo thinks someone who only likes one game is gonna buy a whole second console, they’re out of their minds.

What I do own is a Steam Deck, because Steam is a platform first and I can play my games on my fancy PC at home and on multiple devices. My Steam Deck can even play non-steam games great too!

The second Nintendo makes a PC store that let’s me play their games on my other hardware, I’ll start buying that second copy of all our games solely for the convenience of it. Until then they can suck an egg.

I always felt like Flowers For Algernon was such a compelling book and the only movie i know of is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. You would think it was a comedy based on that movie.

Still trying to catch back up on Adventure Time

Also God watching all genocide

Under capitalism, yes.

Under socialism? Men would all be spending their new free time learning woodworking and making gigantic overengineered furniture out of oak and mahogany.

Damn, I didn’t even realize I’m doing anti-vax research as i type this

I don’t see this as a problem, the media is terrible at understanding/caring about real cultural trends.

The fact that I have a better time on Lemmy than Reddit on my phone, despite the huge difference in user numbers, says it all to me.

Reddit has been seeing a meaningful and lasting decline since they decided users don’t matter, and there’s no coming back from that.

Just like Facebook has suffered a permanent user loss and failure to grow, so will Reddit. It won’t be overnight, but newer generations are increasingly tech-literate, even when they aren’t more media-literate.

I never thought Mastodon would become a place to be, despite always hoping. Never imagined a real Reddit alternative would start to form, but here I am.

Cambridge Analytica laid the foundation of general disdain for centralized social media, and Elon Musk single-handedly exhausted the public’s patience with corporate bullshit.

I think decentralized options are here to stay, and I think the only centralized platforms that will take longer to upend are video-dependant ones.

All in good time.

Why did I read this in Scottish accent?

That’s how I always felt, but after using Apple track pads for so long, my reflex for scrolling has changed.

Because I use my track pad and mouse interchangeably all the time, I just need them to use the same direction for scroll.
