I am not a number.
1998, I was 12 years old lol. The '90s were peak South Africa from my perspective. When we were all still high on Mandela, before Jacob Zuma came along and killed every last bit of hope for the future. That beautiful scenery unfortunately usually only gets seen by tourists because the rest of us are too busy trying to put food on the table.
All I’ve seen of Australia was the inside of an airport on my way to New Zealand lol.
Same from here in South Africa. Reddit had me fooled that we were about to finally enter a period where this fucking orange painted clown isn’t stinking up the news with his shit filled diaper on a daily basis, after like 10 long years of it.
I was expecting the inbred hillbillies to still vote for Trump but I didn’t realise how many closeted inbred hillbillies there were in the USA.
Everyone is a liar and everything is fake news. The media reports something? Lies. AI says something? Lies. Your neighbour tries to tell you something? Lies. The whole world freaks out and tries to convince you to change your ways? Lies.
Everyone is a liar except for when they say something I agree with and don’t have to think too hard about. Everyone is a liar except for my little in group.
Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.
Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.
Were these comics always like this or have the staff all turned into manosphere dick heads over the years? Saw another one the other day where the whole punchline was basically “haha rape”. Used to enjoy occasionally seeing these in my Facebook feed another lifetime ago but a lot of what I’ve seen here on Lemmy so far has been pretty questionable.
Sega Mega Drive for me. We had knock off NES consoles in my country with 100 in 1 cartridges but we just called those “TV games”. Nintendo never bothered with any non first world country back then, so pirates picked up the slack. I don’t think I even knew of the ‘Nintendo’ brand when I was a little kid until I started using the internet and collecting magazines.
But Sega wasn’t quite as stiff upper lip and exclusive as Nintendo and had no problem with lowering themselves and selling their goods to us plebs in the 3rd world. So Sega was the premium brand here and “TV games” were just cheap shit in comparison in my eyes.
We had a knock off NES when I was a little kid (called a Pegasus) but my first actual legit name brand console was the Sega Mega Drive.
Wish I still had it. When I was about 13, I went through a really dumb phase for about 1 month total where I decided I was too grown up for this stuff and I sold my Mega Drive and comics for enough money to buy one CD, probably of a band that I don’t even listen to anymore. Regret it to this day.
And not only do they not use any of their money to improve the world, they actually actively use it to buy up every media platform, prop up right wingers and make as many people suffer as possible. More than they already suffer that is, thanks to a system that allows these pieces of shit to amass enough wealth to last multiple lifetimes while others have to work two jobs and still not earn enough to live without hardship.
I’m all for banning people like that, personally. Especially if they’re not even bothering to contribute anything themselves.
Someone that goes through a community that shares random music, dutifully downvoting everything they personally don’t like is probably a self centred asshole. And someone that wouldn’t be pleasant to have around commenting anyway.
Adult Star Wars fans when kids try to enjoy the movie with dog people, living teddy bears and elite troopers that can’t shoot straight.
