Favourite 90s platformer? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Super Mario Bros 3. It barely makes the cutoff, releasing jn 1990 in North America. But man, it is something special. I completely understand why people prefer Mario World, but Mario 3 feels like the peak of the 2d franchise for me, and everything after that is just reiterating what it perfected.

Sonic 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3 are up there, too. The first time I played Crash especially, my mind was blown. There are several games that scratch the same itch as Mario and Sonic, but I've not found a single game that feels like Crash Bandicoot. Gamers were spoiled in the 90s. ...unless you bought from a company that wasn't Nintendo or Sony.

I think the decisions in NV are all grey enough to prevent decision fatigue. Oftimes, you're picking the best of several bad options.

So sorry about your friend. Loss can make some things too hard to revisit. I'd not dare to speak for your loved one, but I would say that if I were to pass away, I'd certainly hope my friends played my favorite game. I'd probably take some time off from whatever afterlife there is just to watch.

Doom.

People are still making Doom WADs. And have you ever heard of the FPS genre?

Got a solid chuckle from this one. This may be the first Fallout community I really fall in love with.

That's hilarious. They're really keeping the spirit of the wild west-era internet alive.

Makes a lot of sense lol. I appreciate your usage of ED as a source, I find that reading between the opinions yields some shockingly accurate web history. I remember being shocked at their articles for gay and trans people... and then you read the one on straight people and realize they believe in equal treatment.

Anyone who got a chuckle from this, it's an excerpt from the Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional letters of advertisement for competing fur trapping businesses. Every one of the letters is hilarious, and they become more unhinged as PB Fouke and JF Swanton start really responding to each other's claims. Highly recommend for anyone wanting some of that 2007-style forum humor.

For context, this paragraph is lifted from SomethingAwful's Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional advertisements put out by two fictional fur trappers, who are competing in business.

While one of the trappers, PB Fouke, tries to sell his business on dedication, JF Swanton sells his furs on the promise that he is so cruel of course he's going to have the best furs.

Doesn't make it less offensive, but the point being that it was written in character as a fur trapper from the 1800s who regarded himself as much more cruel than all else.

To follow up my previous post, I did some research on alternatives to Amazon Shopping to suggest to anyone interested in ditching Amazon. Note that I have not personally read each company's mission statement. AFAIK, all of these businesses are registered as B Corporations.

If anyone has any reasons that any of these sites aren't a good replacement for Amazon (ie shitty business practices), please let me know so that I can reconsider their inclusion on this list. If anyone has more suggestions as well, I'm all ears. I'll be working on an infographic with this same information as well, to be more easily spread throughout social media.

Monetary Protests (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don't use.

Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.

I'm looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn't figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.

EDIT: found the sources! They're all by The People's Union USA. It's just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.

I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don't necessarily trust The People's Union USA. They have a login feature. Don't be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.

I find it hard to believe that this was done unironically by right-wingers, every second of it is hilarious. Though I guess Poe's Law dictates it's probably real.
