When I point out that it's bad for Afghanistan to "go broke"
Except that isn't what OP actually said. Now who's having a rich disagreement with people in their head?
This thread started with vilifying the Taliban, you responded with "oh you want people to starve?" Obviously, this is not a direct response to what they actually said.
All anyone said was that the Taliban is bad, and you're very weirdly up in arms about that.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Goofy clip of the week
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Friend came to visit from out of town, played some casual 3S for a little while. Also managed to rope him into trying out Waku Waku 7 and Twinkle Star Sprites as I wanted to show off some fun hidden gems in my collection.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Remember when I said I was done grinding this game mode and wouldn't do another run?
Splatoon 3 - Haven't touched Salmon Run since the last Big Run and I'm clearly rusty. Put up a 173, which is gold, but I know that gold target isn't actually much, especially on this map. Still can't kill a damn Triumvirate, which is what I really wanted.

I would absolutely go on a date to play DDR.
Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django. You play a vampire hunter with a solar powered gun, and the gimmick is that the GBA cartridge contains a UV sensor so that you're required to go outside and use real sunlight. It's such an absurd gimmick, but it works. It works incredibly well and makes it an unforgettable experience.
The first game is alright, but the second is where the series really came into its own.
Games that are in the business of selling anime girls end up attracting a certain demographic. And as the developers know who their audience is and double down on catering to that crowd, this kind of behavior becomes increasingly normalized over time.
It's not like gamers are rejecting live services as a whole, because there are still quite a lot of successful live service games. And when a live service is successful, it's really successful. So much so that it's worth it to investors to keep gambling on them, one hit can compensate for a dozen flops.
In order to get more people on Fedi, we have to get more people on Fedi. People will go whereever everybody else already is. That's the only thing keeping Twitter alive, even though almost everyone there will openly admit they hate it, no one will actually leave Twitter because everyone else is still on Twitter.
It's a chicken-and-egg problem that I don't think Fedi can actively do anything to solve. Or rather, I think it's too late to solve. If there's any competitor that has a chance, BlueSky has established a much bigger userbase in far less time, and that's enough momentum to potentially get there. Anyone who's leaving Twitter will go to BlueSky before they ever look at Fedi.
If this can dual-boot, that could be really handy.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus on sale last year and ended up liking it so much that I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. Meanwhile my Steam Deck gathers dust because it's just way too bulky, I grew up on a Game Boy Color and want something that fits in my pocket.
The ultimate dream for me would be if/when someone gets SteamOS running on something this size.
Damn. Hadn’t actually posted there much but I did lurk quite a bit.
Just feels like every attempt at alternative social media is dying as the internet shrinks to a few corporate websites that control everything.
