Games are not exclusive to humans — other mammals, fish, and insects inherently play as well Google’s monopoly ruined what search engines could’ve been, and now AI is making it worse.

@pluralistic ...and yet, with the same annoying thumbnail design (cute/frowny face) favoured by the same corporations - and algorithms - he seems to despise. (sigh) I kwow, i know. But its quite painful that any dissenting voice have to play the game, lose his/her soul, and only THEN achieve the vissibility to...to what? to denounce the system on which they`ve become dependant for income and ego-trips? @adamconover Adam, Windows is still a thing, and Microsoft still sucks, and we still hate it. Check this shit out https://www.propublica.org/article/the-irs-decided-to-get-tough-against-microsoft-microsoft-got-tougher Good vid tho.

@adamconover Hey Adam, LGBTQI refugees in Kenya are requesting an audience to tell their stories... "Kakuma is a death camp for LGBTQI refugees." -Peter Tatchell, LGBTQI activist. He goes on to say "No one is helping LGBTQI refugees at Kakuma. Its a real shame." A month of research cannot find any charities that are helping... Please use your platform to uplift their voices before the death camps come to our states... I have friends there and they need protection and advocacy 😭🙏🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ @adamconover awesome you are such a DEBBIE DOWNER in a good way. ENJOY, people are really nice been on a couple months and i'm a a hole and drink. THE ALL apologize before they threaten your family. YOU KNOW if mastodon users attacked the capital they would have paid for the tour and called ahead to make and appointment with the representive that they planned to vandalize office. NICE FOLKS. About to embark on a project I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: I’m playing through The Legend of Zelda, on an NES hooked up to a CRT, with only the manual and original map to guide me, just as though I were a kid in 1987. Wish me luck!

Going to turn this into a thread as I play through. This cartridge I picked up from a local shop already had a save file for “BUTT”. Looks like the person died 17 times and made no progress. No way I’m deleting that - I’ll save my file in slot 2. Adulthood means being able to buy as many video games as you ever wanted, but having absolutely no time to play them.

@adamconover Adulthood is using your brain instead of your wallet. @adamconover Or having the time to play them but still just playing Minecraft with the Nomifactory modpack. Please help me I put in 21 hours over the past 3 days into this modpack Lisa has a beautiful new comic in The New Yorker (both digital and in print) and I couldn't be prouder. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/26/why-i-chose-horses-instead-of-babies |
