The 32X was one of the things that killed Sega. Making add-ons or expansions for existing consoles has proven to be a failed business model.

Stating this unilaterally overlooks the PC Engine CD, which has more games than the base PC Engine.

Atari Lynx. Remarkably powerful handheld for coming out two months after the Game Boy, but no truly memorable games that aren’t ports (which could be said about all of Atari’s non-2600 consoles tbf.)

It’s usually a Bible but you’re allowed to swear on anything.

Unfortunately most people on Lemmy are extremely serious people.

Just because Japan is in decline doesn’t mean America isn’t.

“Someone on Lemmy” is probably someone who thinks anyone who doesn’t use the right Marxist buzzwords is a CIA plant.

I’d tell myself I’m going to do it, but chicken out.

YouTube drama is just as vitriolic as politics and matters 100x less

midwest.social is sorta the defacto US-specific instance despite the name pointing to a specific region.

I think cold balkanization is both the most likely and most optimistic scenario.

I’m curious why you think it’s most likely. Most optimistic, I agree.

The US wasn’t run by Nazis in 1939 though. The same (rather popular) guy who was President in 1939 was President in 1941.

It’s very possible Germany becomes run by Nazis again.

If they could take an Xbox One/Series SX controller and add in this order:

• Gyroscope

• Two extra face buttons (for fighting games)

• a rotary dial

• a trackball (both primarily for retro games that use them)

• a touchpad (or even better a touch screen)

• HD Rumble

without making the controller uncomfortable, that would be ideal to me.

Back when they were significantly cheaper than competing products, it was “you get what you pay for.”

Now…just go to Wendy’s.

I honestly feel like Lemmy got considerably less vitriolic toward Americans after the election.

I used to think Lemmy was too insignificant for Russian influents, but I’m not sure anymore.

It really does feel like online communities get more relentlessly xenophobic when they have more Europeans. It just seems like a lot of you can’t get by without mentioning where someone’s from. Like, no, someone not seeing the value in retro computing doesn’t say anything about “the intelligence of the average Scot.” And if you can’t tell where they’re from, American by default.

ITT: As per usual, Lemmy thinks living in conditions and condoning them are the same thing

Good. Living in a super power seems to suck period, because super powers care about ideology and power, not people. Do we need “hyper?”
