Again…what have they said about this game so far that you think is a lie?

I give your comment 3 stars

As far as I know all they’ve really said so far is “this is going to be a huge and epic game!” And people already seem to be like “oh boy another lie”

Has he even said anything yet about this game that sounds unbelievable? I feel like people are getting preemptively angry.

Lol this all started because you made things about your own specific narrow point of view

Yes and most if not all of those landed on console too. Your point?

What’s your point? If a game came out on console, it doesn’t matter that it was ever an arcade game?

I’m saying for millennials, the notion of video games had shifted from primarily arcade to primarily console due to the console boom in the 90s

Speaking as millennial in the 90’s, this is untrue. I, and most of my millennial friends played games on consoles, in arcades, and even on PC! If a game came out in arcades, and later came to consoles, it is still an arcade game. It doesn’t suddenly not become an arcade game because it’s been released elsewhere.

Also, do you seriously not know about Street Fighter 2? This is the biggest takeaway that you are not a millennial. The 90’s had a HUGE arcade boom with fighting games. Arcades were filled with fighting games, and the most popular games would have multiple units and still have long lines of people waiting to play. This was a huge part of gaming in the 90’s as millennials. There’s a reason why people wanted to play Street Fighter 2 so much when it came out on SNES: it was already extremely popular in arcades! At this point I feel like you are deliberately trying to troll, and like the idiot I am, I’m just taking the bait.

thus supporting OP’s point that Millenials should remember a time when games are not pay-to-win.

Again, I am a millennial who played beat ‘em ups in arcades a lot. They were very popular Those games are straight up pay to win. Yes they came out on consoles too, but a) those versions weren’t as good, therefore b) the arcade versions were still more popular

These generations are defined by date ranges and not something I made up.

Whoops! My bad. Millennials started in 1981 and I was born in 1980. Guess I was never a millennial after all except the years keep changing and I’ve seen start dates of 1980, 1979, and 1978 as well. It’s hard to keep track when the date keeps changing.

So yes, it is entirely possible that the oldest of the old Millennials might be arcade crawling at age 8 or 9 in the 80s

Ok, now I gotta ask; are you an alien? Because most human children begin walking within the first 2 years. 8 or 9 year olds usually don’t need to crawl

but a whole bunch more of them are still in diapers or not even born yet.

Hmm, it’s almost like the experiences of everyone with a generation aren’t all exactly the same.

I was around in the 90’s. I downloaded the Doom shareware (and many others) from either the internet or local BBS’s in like, 1994.

It’s amazing, he’s said so many terrible things, I’m still learning about stuff like this he said years ago.

That junkie looks like he’s in pretty good shape

 

When I go to search, I can search for threads, microblogs, and people, but the link to search for magazines appears to be missing today.

 
 

I’m sure there are ways to do this on desktop, but in mobile, as far as I can tell, if I come across a nsfw community on my thread and I want to block I, I can’t do that without first clicking on the link to the community feed.

 

I tried getting into the game last year, and while I enjoyed the game for the most part, it was incredibly easy, to the point where combat seemed like something that got in the way rather than something to be enjoyed. I had healing spells, but I didn’t need them, and I was never at risk of dying. Doing any side-quests at all made me seriously over-leveled for story quests, and I wasn’t even getting into the story. I know you can just pay to skip the story, which doesn’t sound at all like a good idea (paying extra for less game?)

If they do something to make the game more interesting and challenging for newer players, I would gladly check it out again. But is this something that’s actually in the works?

 

I keep seeing recommendations for scripts, but I’m not eager to just start installing a bunch of random stuff on my phone.

 
 

I keep seeing posts from Lemmy or Beehaw instances, but the “from” label seems to cut off part of the full name. For example, a post “[email protected]” will just show “from Chat,” and I can’t tell it’s a Beehaw instance unless I click on it and scroll to the bottom of all of the comments to see all the information that identifies it as a Beehaw instance. Is there a way to be able to see this information without having to do all that scrolling?

Edit: it also gets more confusing that some posts will straight up say “kbin.social” next to the post title even if they were posted in a different instance. I don’t understand why this happens.

 

My understanding was that they blocked 2 specific instances, which people are referring to as “defederating” and “having a closed system,” but my understanding is that all other Lemmy and kbin instances can still interact with Beehaw and vice versa, so isn’t Beehaw technically still federated, they just blocked two instances which is something I would expect federated servers to be allowed to do? And are people boycotting Beehaw? Does that involve not interacting with any beehaw server, or does that mean people are just not having accounts in a Beehaw server?

Edit: and I’m seeing posts now suggesting that kbin is defederating? What’s up with that?
