Puyo Puyo. The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (25th in all but name). None of these games ever got released outside of Japan, but after the crossover did well overseas there were high hopes in the community we’d get a similar mainline game for the series’ 30th anniversary.

I wrote a very long essay about how that didn’t happen, and the state of the series ever since. And a more recent followup video on Sega’s newest blunder.

Desktop audio streaming has never worked. Bug report has been outstanding since the beginning and Discord has just… never addressed it.

All of these issues absolutely are cause for concern. The more I read you trying to pretend they’re not, the more I’m beginning to wonder if you’re just a fash in disguise.

What do you define as them “winning”? You can say that out and open neo-nazis will never make up a majority of the voting populace. But they don’t need to be a majority to do real damage, and they shouldn’t be ignored just because they’re under 51%.

Look at everything that’s been happening already. Trump. Bolsonaro. Brexit. The repeal of Roe v. Wade. The erosion of LGBT rights. These are real issues, and they will not go away if we close our eyes.

And outside of just legislation they pass, consider a more human perspective. Each and every impressionable person that gets suckered into their ideology, that they teach to hate, that’s a tragedy already. We need to do everything we can to save people from hate.

I’d been on the microblog side of Fedi for a while, when Reddit shat the bed I went to check out the link aggregator/forum. But it’s a long way from ever being able to replace what I used Reddit for: communities for niche microinterests. And I’m not optimistic it’ll ever get to that level. We have a slow moving frontpage for memes and world news but that’s about it.

I still keep the tab open and poke my head into it from time to time, but I don’t do much more than lurk because there’s not much for me to see here. I’m still not going back to Reddit either, but that just means I’m a hermit living in a cave now.

There were a lot of valid conversations to be had about journalistic integrity. Which made it all the more damning that Gamergate never once had any of these conversations, ever.

What answer would have satisfied you? You started off aggressive and combative in the OP, then acted surprised when you were met in kind.

Built a new desktop, backed up everything on my old laptop, next step was to format an Arch installer USB. Instead of formatting the USB, I formatted my laptop’s /boot partition. No big loss since I had the backup and was done with that old toaster, but oops.
