The fact that they included the service sticker on the back is 10/10. How long until Nintendo gets them blocked outside China (the company appears to be Chinese)?

I'm getting a laugh about how half-assed their attempt to hide the Nintendo branding is.

What's the deal with all the different lenses though? What are those?

I know, however I looked it up to see the context and it sounds like it was part of a spoken conversation, not written text. As such, the [sic] doesn't make sense.

then do process

Heads up, it's due process because it's the process you're due (the process you're entitled to or that's proper, expected, etc), not the process you're doing.

Yeah, but considering the games are mostly garbage mobile apps that had no players or came out just in time to be selected for the Olympic line-up (*cough* obvious IOC corruption *cough*), they might as well not have one. They added Fortnite but couldn't even do that right because they removed the pvp battle royal stuff from it and replaced it with target shooting, lol.

I'm also from Texas. I wish our politicians didn't suck so hard.

I had people try to bully me. I was tall enough that most kids thought I was strong (I wasn't, I struggled to build muscle even when I was a gymnast, but they didn't know that), so they almost never tried anything physical. Furthermore, I was kinda too ADHD (or possibly autistic) for insults to work. They just didn't register as something I was supposed to be offended by. In my head, that was just someone's opinion or someone teasing (in hindsight they weren't, but at the time I thought they were); for the former, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and most of them are full of shit" while I interpreted the latter as someone just trying to play around.

People tended to just give up when they realized that they couldn't find my buttons but I could find theirs very quickly.

I love plushies. I grew up AMAB which meant that after a certain age (typically before 10yrs old, somewhere around 7~8yrs old), it became unacceptable to have plushies. I held onto them long past that age and didn't "put them away" until I was well into my teens, but I was still very aware of the fact that I couldn't let anyone outside my family know that I still had my plushies because I might get bullied if I did.

Afaik, no one outside the family ever found out, but it took a long time for adult me to accept that it's okay to like plushies and start pulling my og plushie crew out of the closet. Now I'm starting to expand my plushie portfolio again and I have a small army of protobeans, several high-quality dragon plushies, a medium-ish roadkill opossum, a few makeship/misc plushies like a Gardener from Gemini Home Entertainment or Acrid from Risk of Rain, a big moth, backstories and names for almost everyone, and I still have my OG beanie-baby crew (some of whom I've discovered would be fairly valuable if they hadn't been well-loved).

I regret letting my fear stop me from covering my bedroom in plushies.

Accelerationism is a bigoted ideology that seeks to pit the minority against the majority during a state of economic and political collapse. It looks okay in a vacuum and on paper, but the reality is that in the event of widespread instability sociopaths would almost certainly seek power by convincing the majority population that it's minorities are the root of all their problems. You now have a second Holocaust on your hands.

Furthermore, I'm almost certain that it is spread by Nazis seeking to harness the left's hatred of the West in order to achieve their goal of "cleansing the white race" because I've observed that accelerationism is extremely popular with Nazis. They believe that a collapse will allow them to exterminate anyone they believe to be degenerate or inferior without being impeded. The extreme left, like always, is getting suckered into believing in a post-crash utopia and is helping them spread their disgusting ideology.

Sir, you are almost certainly a Nazi or a Nazi's unwitting cockholster. That makes me extremely disappointed because I know you didn't used to be like this.

You wanna make a real change? That means you have to actually get out from behind your PC and start targeting common "issues". You have to tackle the "problems" that the US is facing head-on. None of this cowardly, keyboard-warrior bullshit where you simp for some kind of fake, Nazi-inspired utopia and hope that something better will replace the US when the US collapses (spoilers: it'll only get worse). You have to actually take matters into your own hands.

You won't though, because you don't actually care, you just want to watch the world burn. You've drunk your flavor aid and now you're dying and can't see straight. Your mind has been poisoned to the point where you can't see the harm that your rhetoric threatens or who your rhetoric actually serves. As such, I'm not interested in arguing with you because I know you've convinced yourself that you're right and as such, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. I'm more concerned about others following you while believing they're somehow doing good.

Right, but I'm confused by OP's question. They're asking how the Dreamcast might have turned out if it'd had an MMO, but it did have an MMO.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I think what happens is that normally when someone is wearing a costume, it's because they're playing a character (dressing weird because you want to is just called "fashion"). So the logic goes person wearing costume -> person playing a character -> person is being "fake". The misunderstanding is that most vtubers (or at least furry ones), it's actually kinda the opposite; the vtuber "costume" is what they consider to be their real self.

I'm confused, wasn't PSO an MMO?

Hey, I recently received a 14-day ban from lemmy.ml for this comment:

While I suppose it wasn't the nicest thing I could have said, here's what bothers me. They cited rule 1 as the ban reason. Now, lemmy.ml's news community doesn't have its own rules section, so I was left to assume that they were applying the instance-wide "rule 1" which was, "no bigotry".

No Bigotry.

Apparently calling someone a tankie and a redfash accelerationist is bigotry? Are they seriously trying to equate being a tankie with being trans, gay, black and/or native american? Seriously? That's incredibly bigoted and offensive; and that's ignoring the fact that the common tankie idols like Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un are deeply intertwined with things like nationalism, ethnic superiority, queerphobia and the like.

Meanwhile, their modlog shows that they've dealt with multiple instances of actual queerphobic bigotry by removing the comment while also letting the user go.

Do we really want to be associated with bigots like that?

The thing that sucks is that there are communities I genuinely enjoy on lemmy.ml, however getting banned for bigotry after calling someone a tankie and redfash accelerationist while actual bigots are allowed to keep hanging out on lemmy.ml is like a slap to the face.

I'm honestly considering leaving Lemmy and social media at this point. It seems like my two choices are corporate-owned black-box algorithms populated by soft-spoken bigots and pissed-off centrists looking for an axe to grind, and FOSS-based federated platforms where you still have to tolerate bigotry because there apparently aren't enough users and interesting content otherwise.

Inb4 I start getting harassed by lemmy.ml admins or something.

Edit for people who are curious: it's not Photoshop, it's a troodontid mask made by Archesuchus for their "Weird Birds" series. Here's what it looks like under normal lighting conditions.

Not gonna lie, I really, really want one. But fursuit heads are expensive (I'm assuming the cost would be similar since that's basically what it is) and I don't have the skill or tools to make one myself. :c

Rule of the lake (pawb.social)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Description: A giant snake lady sits in a lake. A man stands next to the edge of the lake and asks, "O snake of the lake, what is your wisdom?"

The snake replies, "Osamu Tezuka, the inventory of manga and anime, created old-school furry icons like Kimba and Bagi and had a secret collection of erotic furry art that he made which was only found after his death; so weebs are really just a human-focused offshoot of furries.
