  • That’s years old right wing propaganda spread by the likes of Alex Jones for years. They use the ‘socialism’ in “national socialist” (part of the term Nazi comes from) to argue so, ignoring the fact that anyone can make a name whether or not it’s true. If any socialist plans were made by the Nazis, it was of course racist first; only the in group gets any benefit.

    These are old ideas that were niche at first but have been moving out into the public as the right shifts the Overton window. Stuff we’d dismiss at ridiculous crazy yelly conspiracy man is now mainstream even with people who might not want to be associated with Jones.







  • Nintendo will always care, especially since you can easily currently install emulators on stem deck, and I seriously doubt it would be impossible to install those on steam machine. Now aside from the emulation stuff, having another contender in the console market may always affect each of the companies simply because not everyone can afford all the consoles. Growing up the parents who raised me didn’t buy us a single console, so my first consoles were from the parent who only visited (divorce), in lieu of child support payments, and we generally only had one at a time until we started buying them ourselves.

    If you’re on a limited budget, even with kids, you may only choose 1 or two consoles, and your choice may be the most “comprehensive”. While Nintendo makes excellent games for kids, it’s not like the PC market doesn’t have anything for kids. Plus new consoles in a market could convince publishers to expand that way too.






  • (my comment was mostly joke-y bit)

    I know, I wasn’t so much chastising you but more just speaking my mind. I was worried about being too serious in a joke context.

    And yeah, the basic patern recognition parts of our brain does make it easy to have prejudices, and makes it harder to not knee-jerk react. (Also forgot to mention I’m also a manga enjoyer. Reading at my own pace is much easier than watching shows that define the pace).


  • I won’t define myself on the ideas of a self identified racist. Many people like that assume everyone is like them and just lying to themselves or trying to virtue signal.

    Though, like Avenue Q joked, it’s very easy to have some ingrained racist views, and it takes work and introspection to resist it.
