Talkin' about old games, mostly Sega.
They let me talk on the HG101 Podcast sometimes by mistake.
He/him/they/them, these are all fine.

Making a reminder note that I'm using Mastodon a bit more in the event shit gets worse here than it already is. Do I expect folks to migrate over? No, but as I've mentioned, backup plans. Probably also shouldn't be on mastodon dot social but hopefully it is temporary.

This is a pretty fun wrestling show. If you don’t know anything about wrestling this is still a fun show since it operates mostly outside of the traditional wrestling world as it were.
WARNING: the commentary team is Vampiro and Matt Striker.

Folks will tell you they won't use an alternative, and list dozens of reasons why they won't. A lot of those reasons probably also apply to the shitty thing they're still using stubbornly, because while they agree that those reasons are shitty, well, they're already putting up with it where they are

Things like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc., are kind of strange anomalies in the grand history of the internet due to their longevity. Used to be folks would be scattered to like a few seemingly big platforms, then shit would suck or get boring after a while, then a new thing grabs attention.

I'm pretty sure I made a post on here months ago about how alternative options for tech anything never get adopted because the majority of internet user these days are not tech savvy or in a state of care enough to use internet but not enough to learn it and will never use alternatives but anyway
Discord filed confidentially for an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, adding to a rapidly growing pipeline of venture capital-backed tech listings. bloom.bg/4plpBlz

RAD's cemented, contemporary appreciation is thanks to people actually playing the game, proving 'gamers' from the 00s to be full of shit
RAD was made into a laughing stock because 'gamers' can gauge quality based on production value, they're philistines.

This kinda lines up with my thoughts about how not everything needs to be a franchise. It is fine if a game or movie or whatever is one and done.
