Your problem is that you assume Ukraine is innocent. They’re not. They’re the antagonists. They knew Putin can’t resist pushing forward when they antagonize him further so they keep doing it to keep the flow of income from completely unrelated countries so the whack-job Zelenskyy, along with his backers and partners, can keep living like kings.
“You”, collectively, referring to all the warmongering hypocrites who want to keep the war going for no reason other than sLaVa uKrAiNi.
I’d love to focus on retro games, tech and other cool stuff that interests me. Problem is, even after blocking all sorts of instances and communities, and building up a word filter, I still see political (or in this case, geopolitical) posts all over the cesspit that is Lemmy.
The Ukrainian government and the financiers behind them, yes.
They’d continue to cozy up to NATO, persecute Russian nationals (even peaceful citizens) and give Putin the legitimate reasons you claim he doesn’t have.
Ooh, how dare I not fall in line for a narrative that is designed to launder money and keep people dying in the process? The audacity!
The Dreamcast has such a utopian vibe to it that just fits nice weather!
I think part of what makes it special is how it shows gamers what the potential of 3D offered. With the blocky polygons and blurry textures of the N64, Nintendo gave high-res renders to show gamers the future. Almost like a “See how far we’ve come? This render is where we’re headed so jump on board!”
I wouldn’t want to claim this as a win for the open source community. Ukraine keeps pushing for war when peace talks should be the goal. Putin may not be listening either but it’s no surprise when Ukraine keeps pushing for escalation. Neither side has any excuses left at this point. Let’s not give open source software a bad name by supporting warmongering.
We still have a long way to go but we’ve already come so far!
Not a weird argument, that’s the same logic you used. Just because some kids might not agree with your decisions as a parent, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make that decision. Caring what others think about your parenting style is exactly why we have so many messed up kids in the first place.
Right? How dare a parent actually care about their child’s upbringing? It’s 2025, we’re supposed to give our kids an iPad at 3 years old and let Cocomelon raise them.
“Ha your parents don’t even let you do underage drinking, drugs and other shady activities?”
Same argument. You don’t relinquish your authority and protection as a parent because a few losers want to make fun of your kid for being raised with a mom and dad who actually give a crap about their upbringing.
I’ve come to find that people with their hearts in the right place (such as yourself) are often attacked or ostracized on the Fediverse, especially Lemmy.
How DARE a person express traditional values??? How DARE a parent not want to be an iPad parent and let their kids do whatever they want???
It’s mind blowing and it drives me further and further away from Lemmy on the regular. Keep up the good parenting and if I could offer my advice? Find a better place to ask for things like this, because all you’ll get are moronic replies like half the replies here.
No. It’s an advertisement of political beliefs veiled as a retro games post.
“Look at me, I’m a leftist! Oh, and it’s relevant because a retro game made me one, see???”
Give me a break. It’s nothing more than an advertisement.
Yet again, the analogy fails. This is a community themed after retro games. As is on point for the Fediverse, folks can’t resist shoving their political views into everything, then they act as if it’s unreasonable for people to say they don’t appreciate the attention-seeking, echo chamber nonsense in a totally irrelevant community.
You don’t get to force politics in a non-political community, then tell people who disagree that they need to go somewhere else. Nope, that’s not how it works.
That analogy might work if not for the fact that I’ve attempted to block political discussions from my Lemmy feed through instance blocks, community blocks and word blocks, yet I still see people obnoxiously shoving their political views into everything.
Yes, because there’s literally no reason to make it about political views. And yes, those titles would be just as ridiculous in my book.
Again, discussing themes in a game isn’t the issue. The issue is that the title was very specifically written that way to catch clicks. Clicks from similar culture warriors and from those who disagree. It’s disingenuous and completely unnecessary.
That’s laughable. It was nothing BUT a cult back then.
