How can we accept transgender people for who they are / if they can’t accept themselves for who I see them as

Fixed your shitty, degenerate, transphobic meme for you.

What the actual fuck is this article, lmfao. They act like they’ve cracked the code of what a “gooner” is, and likened it to this almost religious state of being. It’s slang for someone who unapologetically gives their time and energy to one of more targets of their sexual fantasy. That’s it. They’re not trying to ascend to a state of goonvana, or whatever the fuck this article is trying to paint it as. It’s literally just a culturally accepted way of referencing obsession with sexual fantasy.

So fucking weird, dude.

You deserve a medal. I couldn’t even imagine responding to this post without speaking down to OP, so I opted to move on. Thank you for giving the advice he needs to hear and not sounding like a cunt about it they way I would have.

Gotta say, he fooled me too. I genuinely thought, “huh, it’s been a while since mickey7 graced us with his uncomfortable, sexist boomer humour” only to tab back. Shocked, I say.

Bless.

Fairly confident I wound up with some malware from a “GOG” download from one of the sites in the megathread. I’ve already formatted and the files are long gone but I’ll tuck this link away for the future.

Fascinating. As much shit as I talk, I did discover a lot of good games via those discs. The Blades of Exile franchise, for example, really stands out as a series of underrated early windows RPGs.

Balatro, Loop Hero, all three of the noteworthy Mihoyo games, Sword of Convallaria - I’m going to get flak for including gacha games, but these ones are surprisingly well designed and written games, despite predatory monetization practices - Stardew Valley, Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors…

I think we’re kidding ourselves if we ignore that Among Us was a genuinely good game, despite being notorious brainrot zoomer bait.

I’m not sure why we shifted the goal post to mobile games, but the point stands.

Edit: I had to come back because I remembered how much I enjoyed Monster Hunter Stories on mobile, and the mobile version is actually the most complete version.

Hades 2, Silksong, and the FFTactics remake, all of which came out in the last like 3 weeks.

I’d genuinely call the first two 10/10s, and the only thing stopping me saying that about all three is FFTactics’ commitment to staying true to the original, as they kept some features, qualities and even bugs moving forward that are jank in the modern era, but keep the game feeling more authentic.

Ah, I see you have never picked up a “1000 best games for Windows” CD.

There are a lot of low quality games to complain about. There are also a lot of high quality, new games to experience. 10 years from now, the low quality games will be forgotten, while the high quality games will be looked back on, fondly. Posts will be made comparing the “high effort, high quality games from 10 years ago” to the modern slop, and the cycle will repeat…

…in that order?

Funnily enough, I’m on a stock Pixel 6. I flashed custom firmware onto my Pixel 2XL back in the day, and the gain wasn’t super worth it. My phone before that, some Motorola brand, I flashed custom firmware onto and it helped a lot with features I wanted and bloatware removal. But, let be real, save being in the Google ecosphere, the Pixel is as stripped down baseline as a phone gets. And since my job is all-in on the Google apps, I have to be in that space anyway. At some stage, it just doesn’t feel like there’s much of a point.

OP read “shitpost” and thought it was a challenge.

This is such a dishonest question, I barely know where to begin.

I feel like this has to be a joke. There’s a reason Lemmy has a bad wrap for being infested with Tankies, and it starts with Dessalines.

Trying to pretend that there’s a concerted far-left effort to create civil war in 'Murica is patently absurd

Idk man, I spent altogether too much time over in .ml, and now my view on what is “far left” has changed quite drastically. And that group certainly seems hell bent on starting a civil war.

There are absolutely far more MAGAs, but the tankies are, unfortunately, still far left.

I mean, I guess 9 is “several,” but the ratio tells a very different tale.

The current US President and convicted paedophile famously crossed paths

Crossed paths with who? There’s only one Donald Trump.

Yeah, but why is this in shitpost, though.

Okay, but what stops literally any MMO with a pet class from challenging the patent and getting it thrown out the door? Definitely not a lawyer, but I was under the impression that if a property from before the patent proves it has existed as the patent describes before the patent came along, it just gets thrown out.

With you. We can’t sit here and make fun of him for thinking so poorly of empathy while refusing to show any empathy. He was a piece of trash and needed to be taken out like one, but I’m not going to throw a party over it. It’s a “you gotta do what you gotta do” situation.
