“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

I’m 41 now, so I was around for all that stuff. I must admit, I love those old ’90s and early ’00s games like Duke Nukem. I was also going through puberty at the time, so there’s that nostalgic factor.

I don’t think those days are ever coming back, and I’m okay with that. I enjoyed those games at the time, but I can now see how others may have found them offensive—something I never really considered back then. Many of those ads and games were a product of their time, reflecting the MTV era, which, as we know, eventually gave way to reality TV, for better or worse.

These days, it seems like we’ve evolved in some ways but regressed in others, with thousands of porn games on Steam, which is definitely not my thing. I appreciate that the industry has matured and is now more inclusive and diverse. While there’s still room for improvement, I’m glad to see that gaming can offer more sophisticated and varied content that appeals to a broader audience.

Maybe not but it’s certainly more entertaining. This ad doesn’t make me want a PlayStation, it makes me want to go out and party

That’s why I responded to you and not her 😅

There’s nothing wrong with sex appeal. Removing sex appeal, drugs, whatever else is how you get boring corpo bullshit ads instead of edgy corpo bullshit ads.

A chiropractor 💯 fixed my throwing arm that I had been dealing with for over 10 years. Made me an absolute believer. That said, I’ve been to two different chiropractors and they were wildly different in everything they did. Dr Lopeig in Great Falls, Virginia is an absolute wizard.

I don’t understand who you are arguing with here

Fantastic list and love that you put Z on there. Gotta add some classics like Wolfenstein, Doom, Descent, Quake 1, Mechwarrior Mercenaries, Kings Quest… damn guess you could go on and on…

I think all my cars are Japanese except the 2003 wrangler I have… not sure who owns Jeep these days

As an American I was a bit upset and ready to retort to your comment. I then realized none of my cars are even American and you are probably right.

Cellulitis usually causes swelling

Source: had cellulitis from jumping into rocks in the James river. Was admitted to the hospital twice and was released on 9/11 because they thought the hospital would be inundated with victims of the pentagon attack

Well I’ll just go ahead and die of old age then since I was alive during its initial release

Yeah I use Reddit for some subs that aren’t active here, like Sim Racing. I use Lemmy frequently as my /r/all since there isn’t as much content yet. Sometimes I have to remember what instance I’m in because of ones like hexbear and even .ml to a degree

It will all unfold gradually. I continue to use Reddit and also enjoy Lemmy. The main issue with Reddit, particularly the old.reddit version, is the lack of a dark mode and the need to zoom in to poke around on the phone, which becomes a bit cumbersome. Back when Apollo was around, it significantly enhanced the Reddit experience.

Over time, users will come to recognize that the experience on Reddit is less than ideal. Currently, its only advantage is its large user base which is increasing becoming run by bots.

Great now I have to spend my whole life reinstalling it

I torrented it at first but enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying DisplayName field missing from registry once I had a stable job and some extra disposable income

Absolutely in the same boat as you. Used to be home alone (1&2) but the past 5 years or so the first Christmas movie I put on is Die Hard and I can’t imagine that changing anytime in the future.

Against the Storm. Been on steam for 15 years and it’s my third most played game now. Rimworld and CK3 are the only ones above.

Isn’t there an option to block bot accounts?

Thanks for the lengthy explanation, sounds interesting. Is the thumb button for ducking or jumping?
