Yeah, definitely. I always say it all started with Napster.

Now that I think about it, Metallica really had a whole new market to themselves if they’d just been willing to give up a fraction of their money.

“There are no girls on the Internet”, yeah, no.

Fuck cigarettes. I’ve never been a smoker and have always hated having to smell cigarette smoke on myself or my environment. So glad I don’t have to put up with that anymore.

1. Niche interests are more accepted and not immediately just seen as a reason to make fun of somebody for. If someone likes birdwatching, model trains, tabletop RPGs or whatever, who fucking cares.
2. Being anti-LGBT is less and less acceptable. Of course, transphobia is still far too accepted these days (and by that I mean none should be accepted), and acceptance of asexuality and aromanticism in particular are still not where I’d want them to be, but it’s still a far cry from what it was in the 2000s.
3. Misogyny and objectification of women isn’t as bad as it was years ago. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not necessarily great, but I think even a space like Hexbear would’ve been a lot worse 20 years ago.
4. Veganism is more accepted now, but this is an extremely low bar 😒

Haha, you believe in Manbearpig like Al Gore

I’m so cynical that I think this was all a psyop to get things like Marvel movies accepted by the mainstream, plus of course a way to sell things like Funko Pops.

It was too cringy for .world, smh.

”Why don’t you consider living in China?” isn’t really the own you think it is. lol, bringing up Saudi Arabia like we think it’s great or something.

That DeSantis staffer who made the shitpost video with the black sun in the background was onto something.

Nobody tell them.

Every day I’m happy I don’t work in sales or marketing.

Yeah, the TeknoParrot stuff is definitely worth downloading, there’s a bunch of games in there that have no home versions. I was actually looking for Senjin Aleste forever until it one day showed up on Myrient with all the other TeknoParrot games.

It’s hard out there for a conservative brony.

Yet more proof that all they wanted was another

The full PC Engine romset doesn’t take up that much space and is great especially if you’re into shmups. PC Engine CD games obviously take up a lot more space, but you should at least get Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Ys Book I & II. You need a BIOS file (syscard3.pce) too, which is probably somewhere on Myrient but easy enough to find online.

If Myrient has a full MAME romset, download that too and you’ll have basically most of the best arcade games ever made. I’m assuming you’ve already planned on downloading all the 8 and 16-bit console games, so those probably don’t need to be mentioned.

but it’s not like downloading the ISOs and compressing them into CHD takes long either.

Fuck

Asking people to pay for ROMs continues to be the most cringy thing to do. (referring to the download manager thing just in case)

”Arabians”

”Employim”? Is that antisemitism or a reference to something I don’t know?

We need the ”we’re building a classless, moneyless and stateless society” comic except with ”we’re making a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium”.

It shouldn’t be surprising that the writing isn’t hitting the same, the lead writer and designer of DE isn’t involved with this and neither is a lot of other key staff. This isn’t the same ZA/UM, it’s a corpse puppeteered by investors.

People who support capitalism the most know the least about how it works.
