Rarely as a kid, but I pushed for adult discussions when I got older because otherwise I would never talk to them and it was clear they wanted to talk to me.

They only wanted to talk about inconsequential things, which is boring so no thanks.

So whenever I talked to my mom or dad after like 25 or something, I resolved to only talk about things I was actually interested in, and to cut short in consequential conversations and steer back to interesting topics, things I normally didn’t talk to my parents about (drugs, relationships, philosophy), and eventually one topic or another got their attention (my mom told me about smoking pot in high school), and I continue trying to be as honest as I could with them because I don’t want a relationship with someone comprised entirely of small talk, but I don’t want to ignore my parents either.

I definitely think there’s a correlation between how you’re brought up and your relationship with your parents now, my parents implicitly taught me not to bring up consequential life topics to them as a child, and I had to recognize and actively fight against that terrible lesson as an adult in order to have any sort of mature, human relationship with either of them.

Proves the falsity of inevitability.

Hopelessness and cynicism is very hip and demonstrably incorrect.

“never!” they cry, as the first Muslim Democratic Socialist is elected mayor of New York in a landslide.

Holy crow, that freaked me out. That’s really impressive. Pretty uncanny valley, but I can definitely see the appeal.

that’s really interesting. I listened to a podcast with one of the writers, or maybe the creator, I can’t remember right now, and he talked about how sincere everybody was about creating the superhero who could actually change the cultural lack of concern about climate change.

and what’s super cool is like statistically and culturally, it looks like the show worked.

like yeah everything is still fucked, but it would have been way worse a generation earlier if a bunch of awesome nerds didn’t make Captain planet for generation x so they would become horrified over climate change.

hahaha holy crap i am laughing out loud, thank you, dang that’s so funny

haha, this is it, this artist achieved expertise over layout.

I like a lot of their ideas, but this one is executed pretty flawlessly.

very funny.

back? I never gave it up, haha.

radical, congratulations! cheers to more good times!

I’m with you, Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites.

i still play it every few years and sometimes I’ll get the urge to watch the latest world-record speedrun, it’s so much fun to even just watch.

pretty much the only game i do that with.

great screenshots too. there are so many mods for SM64 but I almost always play vanilla, so it’s fun to see you guys as different characters.

SM64 Toad is a psychopath for sure.

congrats on getting to share the game with your friend, and almost hitting a year with your screenshots!

TIL, thanks

thanks, I’ll keep an eye out.

if you think that despite the overwhelming popular evidence, i don’t think any further examples are going to change your mind.

people complain about Microsoft and Sony all the time.

as you say, Nintendo is “just as evil”, they are all shitty companies that treat their customers like dirt.

Nintendo seems to be the most litigious of all of them, and is now warning people they’ll brick their devices. that their customers bought.

there’s not a bias against Nintendo, there’s a retaliation for their shitty policies that they continue to enact despite their customers protesting and making their preferences known.

it’s literally so bad at this point that I’ve decided not to buy anymore Nintendo products.

doesn’t have to be new to be real shitty!

With their big recent widespread warning I figured it was a new policy.

didn’t know it was just a reminder.

someone had to say it.

whaaat?

so a comment mentioned lump… that’s a quite a leap to your notion that Lemmy is nothing but presidents of the United States band posts.

I think the fact that you have that post at hand maybe indicates that you’re pretty into the band?

rather than all of Lemmy being into that band.

who does rock.

from my absurdly extensive(editorial opinion) user history alone, you’ll be able to tell that… wait let me check how many posts and comments I have…

that .01% of my posts are about that band.

I don’t think the POTUS band affliction is as a widespread as you are insinuating.

I see a lot more posts about the coward POTUS than the band POTUS these days.

also, they are free.
