He Is Not Ok
  • Sonic would beat the shit out of Trump without a second thought. He isn't a Freedom Fighter for nothing.

    Jerry Seinfeld 'Regrets' Blaming 'Extreme Left' for Killing Comedy
  • I never understood why he would say that to begin with. It's not like his brand of comedy was ever particularly edgy. Obviously the "people are too sensitive these days" thing is stupid, but it felt extra strange coming from him.

    Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?
  • I didn't say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to grill talk about cartoons and video games.

    Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. "It's a communist website." Is not what they told me to get me over here.

    Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?
  • Absolutely. There's just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you're a trekkie I guess. Then you're set.)

    Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked
  • comparing their shitiness with Blizzard's is like comparing apples to oranges.

    That's... what I said.

    My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they're the devil, when in reality they're just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I'm not trying to convince you it isn't. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it's the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?

  • Here's the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don't care about Nintendo's copyright lawsuits enough that it's the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard's leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don't know what nuance or perspective are.

    What's your personal little conspiracy theory?
  • Shortly before the flex tape video, he announced he was going to appear in a debate with another Youtuber named Destiny. In this debate, he claimed that "Rich blacks commit more crimes than even the poorest of whites" (direct quote, I shit you not), and that Donald Trump had never said anything racist. It was completely out of left field and shocked pretty much everyone.

    My theory is kind of a joke, but I seriously have trouble believing that these are the same person. It was so sudden and so random that I want to believe that there is some other explanation as to why it did. Up until this point, Jontron had stayed fairly apolitical. On the very rare occasion he'd share an opinion on Game Grumps, it would be the most milquetoast moderate thing you've ever heard. To jump from that to retweeting actual Nazis for praising him for saying what they believe feels completely insane. It's easier to accept that there is some sort of sussy imposter imitating him than to believe this just happened.

    Turning the serious off for a second, I think that if anyone knows the truth, it would have to be Arin. I don't think Danny was involved. He might just be blissfully ignorant.

  • You know how some people believe Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced with a body double? I think that happened to Jontron at some point before the incident.

    "Springtime for bibi"
  • This will be a train wreck. Anyone who's familiar with his atrocity of a novel True Allegiance knows that high pitched fuck can't write for shit.

    Nintendo would "rather go in a different direction" than follow AI trend, says Miyamoto
  • We have not once encountered a corporate shitstain as aggressive as them.

    Are you kidding? You can't think of a single company in the modern games industry worse than Nintendo? Do EA, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard not exist in your reality? What did they do in your eyes that makes them worse than sex abusers and slave drivers?

  • So in the middle of the night I heard a noise that I thought was some kind of bug. After 10 - 15 minutes I realized that whatever it was wasn't going away on it's own, so I got up to shoo it away. This little guy was on the floor screaming at the slider door being harassed by my two cats. I don't have a chimney or attic, so I have no idea how they got inside. When I opened the door, instead of taking flight, they simply hopped out the door froggy style. Were they injured? I don't think my cats did it if so, because they mostly just seemed confused by the poor creature. And what were they doing in the house?

    And yes, I'm taking my cats to the vet just in case they got bitten.

    UPDATE: Thank you to everyone concerned. I have contacted a doctor and she said that given the full details of the story I shouldn't need to worry. The poor thing was inside for *at most" an hour when everyone was awake, so it's highly unlikely to have bitten anyone before being spotted by me. The only concern remains the cats, who as mentioned found the bat before I did. I plan to vaccinate them ASAP. Once again, THANK YOU, but doc says I'm fine.
