@DarkFox That’s good to hear, it wasn’t shitty enough as it was.

This was my first ever exposure to Battletech, and 35 years later I still love the franchise. This looks awesome.

“People who missed out on the slave trade”

Or “Just google it”

Hehe, 9 year old me teaching myself Turbo Pascal from library books in an effort to learn how to make my own computer games. I was shamelessly ripping off Battletoads with my own game called “Body Building Frogs”

Besides the very first Zelda, this is the only other one I actually DID finish, lol.

Could you not convert your characters over? I don’t play either one (I was more into Palladium games like TMNT and Heroes, or the old Westwood Star Wars), but I feel like it could be doable?

Hehe, the actual “old internet” resembles the fediverse of today, it’s what we thought the internet was supposed to be back then. Once corporations found the internet, we got the bullshit we have today.

Rock and stone, brother!

not including calls to kbin.social? Curious how they factor in, since they seem to be getting pretty big.

If someone makes a federated porn app, they could call it “Feddish” … just give me a mention in the credits.

Whenever people say “Somebody should do something!” they very rarely ever add “and the somebody is me”

Yeah, the “enshittification” concept, I’ve read this, and definitely agree.

As a divorced father who lives alone, my dearest hope is that my own kids learned enough from me to do something like this as well.

Democracies work when the voting populace is educated and informed. Unfortunately, humanity willfully avoids being either in favor of opinion and bias.

I actually used the newer official desktop site, and really didn’t mind it at all. What I minded was Reddit acting like their company was Reddit. No, you just provided the website and infrastructure. You were not Reddit. WE were Reddit. And we liked Reddit as it was, not what you are turning it into to make a quick buck on your IPO. We didn’t appreciate providing ALL the value and then being treated as if we weren’t important or to be listened to. I’m tired of good sites being whored out for mega-bucks and then transformed into another sub-par lowest common denominator that is a ghost of its former self. I’ll skip the wait and pain of watching that happen yet again, and leave now.

So yeah, I wasn’t a third party app user, but in the long run I’ll still be effected by everything corporate management is doubling down on right now.
