It speaks to their game to capitalize on a “fantasy round” that’s just the two most popular cartridges jammed together with zero logic…

It might be a fun game still, but to go as far as name the game that is just a bad look.

That’s constructive feedback they should have gotten long before launch, and will make most people write it off as slop just from the name.

These generations are arbitrary

They’re not arbitrary and that’s the problem…

Up to Baby Boomers a gender was defined around cultural/technological change and social events.

WW2 ending and a resulting baby boom fit that. But then capitalism wanted easy ways to categorize consumers.

So they decided every 15 years was “better” even tho it immediately led to “generations” meaning almost nothing.

“Generations” are still valuable demographics, it’s just boomers never understood it and made up their own definition. We need to go back to naming and determining generations once they’re adults and we already know how they’re different and where to draw the line

A whole lot of our current problems are because boomers took something that worked and “disrupting it” without understanding how it works or what it even was.

I think Alan Tudyck get fucked over because Will Smith couldn’t handle not being the most likable character in a movie.

As soon as test audiences said they loved the robot, the cut back Tudyck’s scenes and completely dropped him from promotion and intro credits.

it was in a local city subreddit

So…

People in your community had an issue with you destroying local wildlife and endangering a pet…

And that was your takeaway?

That kind of makes it feel like all the rest of your issues are being similarly misrepresented, and there was a lot more going on than you’re saying.

reddit was ‘normal’ until 2016,

Lol

They mean “feed” but people always complain about algorithms determining what someone sees in their feed, that people now think algorithm = feed.

It was never to protect anyone

It’s a flawed premise

If penguins are still dinosaurs, then earth is still solely inhabited by single cell organisms and we’re clearly not.

You don’t understand…

Someone on the internet disagrees with them

I don’t think you understand what “Lemmy” is…

You came to one instance, to complain about another, neither of which are the instance you’re actually on.

There’s lots of communities where only the mod can post, and they just copy reddit. It’s stupid and annoying, but why does it matter?

Just block what you don’t like and you won’t see it anymore.

What you’re trying to do here just has zero chance of working.

You know what they say: the best time to build a time machine is 50 years ago.

I think that’s basically the movie Primer too, they’d turn the machine on, go hide in an apartment for X amount of time, then go back to the machine and emerge 5 minutes after they turned it on and just walked away.

But gravity effects time, sticking close to a planet isn’t going to be hard.

Ironically enough the first (if we ever get them) time machines are going to be a hell of a lot like modern “UFOs” are described. You couldn’t risk landing on the planet, elevation changes are what’s really a nightmare to account for. Show up and hour early and everything is a foot higher because of how fast we’re spinning.

So you’d want a space craft, because space is big and empty. And realistically it’s going to take something bigger than a telephone booth or even the 1980s embodiment of Florida on four wheels with a hood designed to do cocaine off of to house a time machine.

It’s wild that the first generation to do LSD in mass

I want to say hippies were less than 1% of that generation, but for some reason I think it was recorded as 2-3% which would be a gross over-estimate.

But for every hippie you think of sticking daisies in rifles, there was 100 spitting on Black kids for going to the school they were legally required to go to.

It would be like if in 2080 they think we’re all catboys with blue hair and 37 facial piercings.

Sure, those people exist as a fringe demographic, but they’re not the norm.

Bmost hippies had more issues with peers their own age than their parents age, that part of the folk tale gets left out tho, because the people who want us to think they were hippies and “grew out of it” were the ones beating hippies for being different.

All they were ever trying to do was lie to younger generations in the hopes they’d confirm to decades old social norms. Like, it’s weird how many people still don’t understand the boomers just lie about shit instinctively. They grew up in a world filled with lead and are literally incapable of caring about logical inconsistencies. They want younger generations to think they were cool, so they just fucking lied about what they were like as a generation.

If you ever run into a real deal old hippie some day, ask them what the majority of people their age was like back then.

2k is 1440p.

720 doubles to 1080.

1080 doubles to 1140

1140 double to 4k.

Companies all skipped 2k for the most part because all consumers cared about was resolution. That’s why the jump to 4k took so fucking long, for the most part we skipped an entire resolution generation. So even with 4k, all the other stuff wasn’t caught up.

Pretty much the same thing happened with 4g, the telecom corps agreed on a set of requirements to say they’d reached a new generation, but the numbers needed to go up before the tech was ready, so they all agreed to just claim 4g arrived, that’s why there was so many different flavors of 4g.

People really need to understand a lot of what “smart” TVs do is upscale the “4k” signal to something actually resembling real 4k.

Like how some 4k torrents are 3GB, and then a 1080p of the same movie is 20gb.

It’s “worse” resolution, but it looks miles better because it’s upscaling real 1080 to 4k instead of taking existing shitty 4k and trying to make it look better without just juicing the resolution.

So we don’t need 8k.content for 8k.tvs to be an incentive. We need real 4k media, then 8ks TV would show a real improvement.

Boomers economic policy is like if Issac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and came to the conclusion it would always accelerate at the same speed no matter what, even though the ground with the entire ass planet behind it is right fucking there.

Numbers can not constantly go up, it’s just that’s what was happening their whole lives and they can’t accept that their childhoods was a blip and not how things always were and always will be.

They just can’t wrap their heads around it. They have such shit tier empathy they can’t comprehend that they’re an exception.

Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?

What?!

Larry Ellison bought it last week, bad things you’re hearing isn’t “propaganda”…

It’s people who know what is happening, or even just who Larry Ellison is

Here on Lemmy there is only one type of people, Leftists

Buddy…

If you think we’re all “leftists” then the only differentiater you’re looking at is support of fascism, and there’s even a couple fascists, so that can’t be it.

Most weeks I get called a neoliberal, a commie, and everything in between.

There’s room for nuance here, and there’s never room for that when fascists are in the room. You leaving Jack’s up the percentage of fascists, which scares off people who don’t care about politics.

I know I just said:

It doesn’t matter what you think you’re accomplishing there, the reality is you’re just a punching bag and without you they’d fight each other which divides their base and depresses their turnout

And you ignored it, so I said the same thing with more words, kind of a hailmary on my part.

because you don’t see a political discussion here but rather one opinion on repeat.

Then disagree with people…

I do it all the time, sometimes I get heavily downvoted, sometimes I change a couple minds. But you can always just be the change you want to see

Staying off social media owned by fascist techbros is a better choice…

It doesn’t matter what you think you’re accomplishing there, the reality is you’re just a punching bag and without you they’d fight each other which divides their base and depresses their turnout.
