An appeal to nostalgia is a claim that more or less boils down to “things were better in the past.”

The NES era has a special place in my heart because those were basically the first games I played and those stick with you. But… I am not about to claim that modern equivalents aren’t as good. And I don’t feel the need to prove otherwise because I know that it isn’t their objective quality or lack thereof that made them special to me. So the question is why is it so important to you that you can “prove” the PS2 era 3d platformers were objectively superior? Are you going to suddenly flip a switch in your head that changes your opinion of them if someone manages to “prove” otherwise?

AND you have to keep in mind that you are more likely to remember good games and forget mediocre ones. There is a bias toward older games being thought of as being better because most of the garbage ended up being lost to time. Today’s stinkers are still fresh on everyones’ mind.

xkforce,

Mica, sand, cds, other bugs, anything that has intricate fine structure.

xkforce,

Ive been under once and they said the exact same thing about Michael Jackson.

xkforce,

Well this aged poorly didn’t it?

The technical term is “scaroused”

xkforce,

Also most software is written for that default os and if they ran into most of the common issues linux users do theyd throw it in the bin.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

xkforce,

Upvote: contributes positively to the discussion, hasnt been said before in the same thread, well researched/high effort

Downvote: trolling, obvious/overdone, bad/disingenuous reasoning, spreads misinformation, bigotry/sexism

xkforce,

Tbf windows defender is pretty good.

The one time when misstyping your password was a good thing

First year physics students asking the important questions for the 10th time that day

The temporal accords were meant to protect the timeline that lead to the temporal accords and that includes any alternations to the timeline up to that point. All of them.

xkforce,

I remember people hating on voyager calling it “shitty nutrek” and now it is adored like TNG, TOS and DS9 are. Give it a few years and “nutrek” will be old trek and we will have a new set of trek series that “fans” will spit on.

xkforce,

((( ))) is a nazi dog whistle op

It is actually a Brassica Oleracea cultivar.

xkforce,

Rankine is there twice.

xkforce,

Op… their transparent lie about not wanting to pay 1 pound a day to turn the electricity on should have told you to walk away let alone the structural issues.

xkforce,

Unless you meant to destroy all of that data, that was unintentional not intentional.

xkforce,

You meant to destroy your data?

xkforce,

I failed out of college once and almost twice before completing my degree 15 years after I started. I was diagnosed in my final semester. So not so much functional as incredibly stubborn.

xkforce, (edited )

This reminds me of something that the people that diagnosed me with adhd said that boiled down to me supposedly dropping hobbies and interests that I am not immediately good at. I felt like a lot of unfair assumptions were made about why things do or do not interest me.

Like… I am a chemist. It took 15 years to obtain my degree. And because of indecisiveness, I also have very nearly enough credits in biochem and physics to have two more degrees on top of that. Some of my hobbies: running molecular structure optimization calculations using multiple computational chemistry software suites, learning programming to be able to mod video games, designing meal plans from scratch using a spreadsheet that tracks 30+ food nutritional and other parameters for hundreds of foods (vetted by a dietician and was in part responsible for stabilizing my mother’s kidney failure and helping me lose 70+ pounds) The idea that I apparently dont have my own preferences that outweigh the difficulty of hobbies seems laughable to me given that.

xkforce,

Theyd auction the classes to the highest bidder

xkforce,

Draco was a brainwashed kid. He was a victim of his parents.

xkforce,

Draco was raised by wizard supremicists then sorted into a house exclusively filled with people just like him. His only exposure to anyone different was through rival houses. The school heavily encouraged competition between the houses and segregated children into ideological bubbles. All after one sorting ceremony when they were 11. Draco was a child. Imagine being judged by the beliefs you held when you were 11 for the rest of your life.

xkforce,

The DOD was like this. And it wasn’t just that you had to change passwords every so often but the requirements for those passwords were egregious but at the same time changing 1 number or letter was enough to pass the password requirements.

xkforce,

I hate quiche. She thought I love quiche and was so proud of herself every time she would make it. Never told her otherwise.
