frunch, in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

I’ll throw mine in:

Video games: Weird Dreams and Spectre VR both for PC back in the early 90s iirc

Music: one artist i really enjoy that unfortunately died from covid in 2020 though he was only in his 20s… His name was Cesar Alexandre and i got to know and love much of his work as Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza. In fact, my first thought when i heard the opening track from their EP Daily Night Euphoria was that it would have been a great soundtrack for Spectre VR…

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston, in Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Freddy Mercury and David Bowie are up there in that podium.

Yes

jopepa, in Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Love Sufjan. He has a Mozart mind in his own right.

If Mozart was raised with an accordion and looney tunes he might Weird Mo, if he had parents like Carrie and Lowell he might be giving LGBTQ+ and Christian Conservatives a Christmas album to agree on.

Trying to compare a Mozart of our times to the original is like comparing an apple to the tree it grew from. There are obvious similarities but fundamentally are just different things of different times.

DieguiTux8623, in best app for lemmy?

Bookmarks (saved posts and comments) are usually associated to the account since there is support for it in Lemmy APIs (PUT /post/save and PUT /comment/save respectively) so even if you change client you should find them there.

The answer to your question is subjective, what I like about Lemmy is that there are many clients (web and mobile) so you can choose what you like the most, and many of them are even open source.

A board game called Off the Rails. You play as goblins in a mine, and use mine carts to collect gems. It was on kickstarter maybe 5 years ago.

Azurewrath, in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

A friend and I used to play Liero Xtreme lots when we were kids. I have never seen any mention of that game anywhere on any forum in my years on the internet

I played the heck out of TankPot back in the day. One of the best early games to have a high number of simultaneous multi-player, I think 64, split poverty 4 teams of tanks. Played through the browser, it moved around to different sites a few times over the years and now has its own dedicated site:

No idea what the movie’s actual title was but there is a wonderfully poorly dubbed kung fu movie by the American title “Shaolin V Ninja”

The voices are terrible, sometimes the characters answer their own questions, music is stolen from Star Trek II at points and it features probably the best “I’ve been stabbed” sound in cinematic history at about 1 hour, 13 minutes. Highly recommend. youtu.be/h6iYROUoHUE?si=6h7DzxRMD6x4YSLl

Also it’s that specific dub, there seems to be a more shared version on youtube that is better translated (and not as stupid).

TheDeepState, in What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

Perma bans

@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

perma bans him (joking of course ;D )

TheDeepState,

If only Reddit would do the same thing that FB does. I would gladly take a month ban from time to time to stay on Reddit. But, they got me and like lots of other people, I didn’t say anything bad. Oh well, hopefully Reddit will go down in flames in 10 years or so.

sometimes I feel like Nintendo’s Custom Robo series counts as only 2 games ever existed outside of Japan: Custom Robo [Battle Revolution] for Gamecube, and Custom Robo Arena for DS. Luckily there’s been 3 spiritual successors since then: Cyberspace Colosseum, WizardPunk, and Battlecore Robots.

There’s also this B-movie from the 60s called The Creation of the Humanoids. It’s not that spectacular per se, but it is the source of the “You are a robot” sample used in Powerman 5000’s When Worlds Collide and the Metal Arms: Glitch in the System theme music.

serial_crusher, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?
@serial_crusher@lemmy.basedcount.com avatar

Obesity modeled as a disease that should be treated with drugs like Ozempic. I’ll buy that it’s like that for some very small set of people, but I can’t shake the assumption that drug companies are exaggerating so they can sell more, and most of their customers are just too lazy to try proper diet and exercise.

While we’re on the topic, Gastric Bypass seems incredibly destructive and surprisingly ineffective for weight loss. One thing I could totally get into, though, is if people had access to that beta-metabolite they discovered that reduces feelings of hunger.

There was more than 1! My dad had at least 2 and I am pretty sure there was a 3rd. I remember playing the Minotaur labyrinth one a lot.

AngryCommieKender,

They’ll be in there somewhere. I was surprised by how many I hadn’t heard of.
