Would love Earthworm Jim or MDK reboots but I think those are under Infogrames / Interplay not Activision?

With the abundance of retro platformers I still think this is a niche worth revisiting

Was just thinking about this game the other day. It was super fun and had a more interesting / entertaining vibe than other vehicle combat games (Twisted Metal, not sure what else)

I was all over that and Carmageddon, which also doesn’t have a very good modern equivalent.

Oooo this is a good one!

Wild. If I had to say which game is harder between Battletoads and Elden Ring, I’d say Battletoads hands down. I’ve gotten pretty far, but never beat it on NES. I guess I could go the emulator route just so I don’t get that awful feeling every time I see the cartridge, some amount of closure.

Goin on like 30-something years with Battletoads now

Big money no whammies let’s go let me in!

Yeah, Artemis is an app for Kbin that is in a very limited beta right now (I’m not in it) - *edit got the link wrong the first time **and the second time. Artemis

Yeah… it is a little overwhelming when just dipping your toes. In the initial push to get off of reddit I ended up with a lot of accounts… Beehaw, sh.itjust.works, fedia.io, kbin.social, readit.buzz, infosec.exchange, infosec.town, defcon.social, tildes, squabbles, etc. At some point you just have to use something.

If I had to guess what I’ll be doing in the future, I’d say it will resemble reddit where I had multiple accounts for different purposes but not different platforms, just different content filters and topics. Eventually there will be at least one app that works with both Lemmy and Kbin accounts and make it all more or less seemless and arbitrary.

Right now I’m primarily using Kbin and Beehaw, I don’t know which account will eventually be more important to me. I’m also using Ice Cubes for Mastodon with a couple different Mastodon accounts. What would push me all-in on a kbin instance would be if I federation between Lemmy instances and mastodon instances reached a level of functioning that didn’t feel like I was missing anything. I’d rather not have a million different apps and accounts just to see different versions of the same shit.

I’m on both (repeatedly, multiple servers and accounts) but even with Memmy I find myself gravitating towards Kbin and once Artemis is out I’ll probably stay there. Beehaw has the best interaction on its local communities, but Kbin is just a better feed for me mostly. No brand or server loyalty for me, I will continue using all until one seems to address all my wants.

It used to make sense, like… people that need no provocation to go into something they won’t shut up about, or things like that. Lately it has just stopped being used in any way that actually makes the “Nobody:” part matter.

AI will replace all of us at our jobs.

With Bermuda grass.

Thanks @ernest - we all appreciate it!

Reddit can eat my cheeks. Every time I open the app now there’s some sponsored post or dumb thing that makes me hate if.

For real I’m buying these for the kids then eating like five packs at a time on a regular basis

If only I actually was talking to myself instead of compulsively responding to bad faith arguments from a handful of people here I would have done a much better job paying attention to the mindless television I was trying to watch last night. Felt just like reddit again for a few minutes there, but now back to uh… anything other than arguing on the internet. Keep on abiding.

Nobody ever said to get rid of the NSFW filter

I’m not an avid consumer of violence, I’m not craving it. A general NSFW is great, and I’m not against it. I’m not sure if you were trying to disagree with me here or not, since people keep trying to talk me into arguing points that I never actually had any intention of arguing I don’t even know what is directed at me at this point.

The number of false equivalencies across the entire thread here is wild, because people somehow think porn is under threat or something. I am a freelancer and look at kbin for fun at home, ANY use of social media while I’m actually at work is kinda NSFW because I’m supposed to be working. I browse the internet at home, where the eyes that might see my phone are a teenage son and a girlfriend.

Should I be browsing, and somehow the kid sees that there’s a news report or shared image of a dead Russian soldier on the ground, or a portrait featuring a barely visible nipple, he’s mature and I can contextualize that for him. He has seen R rated movies with sex scenes, whatever. None of that is a big deal. Hardcore pornography is a different deal. Any granularity beyond that is great.

Also apples are not oranges.

This is a good idea

Pretty much exactly what I’ve been trying to say, just put more eloquently by you here. Incidental art nudity and medical stuff etc., exactly. I guess it ruffled the feathers of some folks with the way I worded it or people just really are that upset about what seems to be an absolutely benign thing to me.
