It's extremely frustrating how much of the retro gaming space isn't focused on a love of the art form and preservation of history, but rather tasteless failmen trying desperately to relive their childhood. There's definitely a throughline there.

I guess a willingness to admit you're wrong when presented with evidence gets you blocked on this site.

Okay, show me the voting records that I'm not looking up. I will admit you are right if you can find me the evidence of their entire voting record being aligned with the GOP.

I'm asking you for objective facts and you're not providing them. You're just yelling at me now. I'm asking you questions to try and understand your positions, I haven't even taken a position of my own on anything. I'm not trying to tell you what to believe, I'm only asking what you believe.

You are changing the subject. You said, word for word, "And the squad has voted more with the GOP than Dems." Are you admitting that is false? If you want to discuss individual votes, I'm fine with that, but we have to square this circle first.

You said they vote more with the GOP than they vote with the dems. A cherry picking of a few votes doesn't demonstrate that. We have to reconcile this point, we can't have a conversation unless we can agree on reality. I would like a source on their percentage voting record per your original claim.

Before we go any further, I need you to cite your claim that the squad votes more with the GOP than dems. You can't just gishgallop past that.

I don't think you're being genuine with me when you say he has to meet every single promise, because you don't hold anybody else to that standard. I'm trying to have an honest conversation with you but you're not making it easy for me.

Tulsi is a Republican, she didn't get where she is due to leftists. She isn't even an elected rep. Sinema wasn't even a progressive, let alone a leftist. That has nothing to do with us. Fetterman was a mistake and everybody admits it.

I don't think you're being fair when you say that being unable to change federal policy is a failure on the record of a city mayor. I also think it's unfair to say he doesn't deserve any credit for his successes. That seems designed so that you still get to claim victory no matter what.

Gen A.I. is false hope. It's a delusion; a distraction from the real problem. That we live in a world that does not value the person, does not value art. Gen A.I. sells people a devious "solution" to a problem it exacerbates. We need to fight it, and fight for a better world.

It's not technically, it is. You buy it to play video games. By your own definition, this means it's competitive. Whereas a car is a vehicle, you don't buy it to video games.

A console is just a computer. You can plug in a console, phone, PC, Steam Deck, whatever else to your TV. So please explain to me, how is it that still having several different options to play the same video games can be a monopoly but having only one to play a specific video game isn't?

Solar Bear @ursa.solar · 19/05/2026
I don't agree that it makes it not monopolistic because you can buy a different thing that does something else. Further, if we accept that you can, then your point is wrong because that means PCs and phones would prevent Nintendo from having a monopoly.

"A monopoly (from Greek μόνος, mónos, 'single, alone' and πωλεῖν, pōleîn, 'to sell') is a market in which one person or company is the only supplier of a particular good or service" Video games are a particular good or service. Who else sells this particular good or service now?

Sony and Nintendo don't compete against each other, the two products do very different things and aim for very different markets. They both effectively have a monopoly as-is, this makes it worse because now PC doesn't really get to compete against PS5 anymore due to exclusivity.

Yes, it is about money. They're pulling back because they want to sell more $600 consoles along with $60 games instead of just the $60 games, even if you already have a better system and didn't need it.

I didn't say you were wrong in your use case, I said it's not worth the deleterious effects on society. It is revealing that your literacy is already damaged so much by this tool that you couldn't understand a tweet-length chunk of text.

The minimal amount of legitimate use cases it has is not worth the overwhelming deleterious effects it has on society and there's no realistic way to separate these things. It's kind of like pointing out asbestos has useful properties. Yes, but it gives you cancer so it doesn't really matter.

Even if we accept this statement at face value, in practice it still means there's a lot more people running around making bad code than there used to be. The consequences of this aren't worth giving skilled engineers a marginally better autocomplete that they supposedly can do just fine without.

This is true, if you let the government take money from billionaires simply because they hoard it and corrupt our government, just so that we can use it to benefit the people instead, then the government will also come to your house and take your toothbrush for no reason

Correct, they did not respond and we lost. You are right to feel upset by it. So do I. But we cannot let this feeling make us politically ineffective. Yelling indignantly at them may be cathartic, but it's not useful. What people should do and what people actually do are different, so we must adapt.

"Vote blue no matter who" draws a direct line to low turnout every single time, and until dems understand that, it's going to keep happening. Republican voters respond to that strategy because they're barely better than trained animals. Democrat voters don't, and dem leadership resents that truth.

Blaming a trump voter is like blaming an untamed animal. You don't blame the gopher for digging holes or the beaver for making dams, it is simply in their nature. Democrats are supposed to be better, which is what makes their failures sting more.

It's awesome how when progressives lose it's the fault of progressives, and when non-progressives lose it's also the fault of progressives. We're expected to always show up, never get anything, and always take the blame. Weird that this strategy isn't working; maybe we aren't yelling at them enough?

I also spent way too much in this game. The vibes were immaculate. The OST only had a few tracks, but they are all bangers. I recently stumbled on a remix for my favorite theme from the game: youtu.be/GqODTobO3sQ

My crackpot theory is that this isn't Mega Man 12, it's the long-awaited bridge game between Classic and X. That's why the last monitor in the hallway of dates and numbers was all screwed up, why Dr. Light isn't shown, why he was sealed in an X-shaped vault. Mega and Proto are gonna awaken X.

Great business model though. Turn down the temperature, but in a way that weakens a major fossil fuel alternative, making us even more reliant on fossil fuels and therefore maintain a need for their "solution" to fossil fuels.

It's a trick. My body tells me to go to bed early and then wakes up 2 hours later and won't go back to bed until 3am. I must never listen to the siren call of the early bed time, no matter how tantalizing it sounds.
