I’m not totally sure how to moderate this with our “no politics” rule in this community. I’m thinking the situation (and this meme) is more independently funny than about a political agenda or bickering, so I’m leaving this up.

The spirit of the rule is simply to prevent this community from being another political battleground, and I don’t think this post crosses that line.

I view memes as more fun when they’re lower stakes, like retelling a joke someone else told you.

Thinking of it from a copyright infringement angle just feels so grimy and commercialized to me.

Fixed, thanks

It’s a chess clock

And now he’s angry.

Great band

Maybe Sony will use today to announce a remaster or PC port!

Lol, they just need to rotate it 90° so that (from the players’ perspectives) the bottom left square is dark and the bottom right is light.

The Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) had expansions that were meant to improve the capability of the system and extend its lifespan, but ultimately they weren’t super popular because it didn’t make sense to make games for such a small subset of Sega’s market share.

This is the 32x add-on that allowed for 32bit processing, and someone has just stacked a bunch of them on top of each other to be funny.

(Pictured here is the base system in the center, with the 32x add-on on top and the CD player below)

I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re not playing standard chess…

The board is sideways, and Putin’s king and queen are swapped!

Wait till it’s so enshittified it’s unusable

Discord is going public soon, so start the timer…

Same. It takes sort of a bold leap of faith.

We waited a while but realized that if we had been a little less risk averse, we could’ve started earlier and been totally fine.

Do you use it a lot? Or does it auto-run on startup?

I might open the app maybe once or twice a month, and it frequently asks for credentials.

If you find one, please share with the rest of the class. That would be cool to see.

Whoa, so much to browse through. Thanks!

Malenia’s final phase…

I’ve been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I’m most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.
