He/him. Trying out some different instances. If you see this handle on another instance, it’s probably me, unless someone else also stole it from Campaign: Skyjacks.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

That’s not a mannequin. It’s just a lady showing off her awesome abs.

The lighting, the angle, and the fact that she appears to have just finished working out (and is thus very, very sweaty).

On the one hand, I agree that corporate exploitation of Pride (like corporate exploitation of most things in general) is pretty gross.

On the other, it’s kinda heartening in a weird way when these companies see LGBTQ+ people the same way they see everyone else. Granted, what they see them as is resources to be exploited and bled dry and then thrown away, but hey, to be honest, that’s an improvement over how they used to see us.

Most are, yeah. IIRC, cis lesbians are the demographic most likely out of anyone to support trans rights outside of trans people themselves, by a large margin.

Sure, and it’s fine when a meme flops. But this person was apparently being an asshole about the entire concept of memes.

My wife is into things I’m not into. Sometimes she even drops references to those things into conversations that I don’t get. You know what I don’t do? I don’t say, “So, I’m supposed to memorize all these TV shows in order to have a conversation with you?” That’s being a jerk, and completely unnecessary. I just kinda politely smile and nod, and move on.

Oh, you missed out so much. Fortunately, the site is still mostly usable, though last time I checked, the games did not work.

Pulling the ladder up behind you is a proud American conservative tradition.

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

Game updates bring bad with the good, because devs often rely on them to deliver a full, playable game.

When you bought a game back in the day, you got a full, playable game on the media. It wasn’t always bug-free, because… you know… it’s software, but they had to at least quash all the showstoppers without the benefit of a Day 1 patch.

And don’t get me started about DRM…

Fair, but ET was such an awful debacle that it killed Atari as a company and paved the way for Japanese companies to take over the entire market for the next couple of decades.

Now it’s just business as usual.
