  • That style of blocking makes sense for more personal social media, but I don’t think it fits a public forum like the Threadiverse. On Reddit, bad actors were able to weaponize blocking to hide from anyone who would disagree with them, anyone who would push back against misinformation. That did a lot more harm than good.

    Everything you post here is public, and you should expect that anyone can see it, even people you do not like. If you don’t want to see someone you don’t like, that’s what blocking is for, but you shouldn’t expect to be able control who can see your posts when they’re all public to begin with.

    If something is so sensitive that you think you need to hide it from someone you don’t like, then this probably isn’t the platform to post it on at all.


  • We remember the best of the best classics, and forget the ones that sucked. When you watch classics, you’re watching the ones that have stood the test of time.

    Decades from now, some of today’s shows will looked back on the same way. Many will not, but we won’t even be thinking about the ones that didn’t.


  • What kind of games are you looking to play, and what form factor do you want?

    I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus on sale two years ago and ended up liking it so much I wish I’d bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. There are quite a lot of devices like it on the market, if you want something small for retro emulation look into all the different options.

    Meanwhile, my Steam Deck largely gathers dust because it’s just too bulky to feel like a replacement for the handheld-sized handhelds I grew up on. Switch (2) is good for running Switch games, and it’s at least a bit smaller and lighter than the Deck, but mine rarely leaves the dock.







  • And if Nintendo thought Wario Land was so great then why did they stop making those games like 2 decades ago?

    Because the last games didn’t sell so well, and because the staff that worked on them have other projects.

    Just because a game didn’t get infinite sequels forever doesn’t mean no one can appreciate the originals. By that logic, Chrono Trigger must be one of the worst JRPGs of all time to you.
