Nope…

Were these mobile games?


tfw I’ve never even heard of Peggle…


I’ve got no idea what’s going on either…


I have aphantasia and no internal monologue. Words I read don’t have voices. I know what his accent is, and I could try and imitate it, but I can’t hear it.



Oh, well that’s interesting! In theory, they could have been talking about 2020 then…

I remember playing 2020 when I was in high school, but apparently, I was playing basically as soon as it came out, which I didn’t realise at the time


I had no idea they had a name!

I’ve had it as long as I can remember, though not very often. It would only be a few times a year I’d say…



Steam? Though I’m not sure I’m loving it… 22 years now… But it worked back then, it still works now, and it hasn’t lost itself to enshitification. It even followed me to linux.


Ok, to be fair, he could have meant “still there”


Page 236 is Terns. I mean, if that’s what you’re in to…


I’ve got my doubts. Body sculpting, explicitly including sculpting to look “animal like” existed even back in Cyberpunk 2020, which was released in 1988.

Furries were around before that of course, but the first furry convention wasn’t until 1989, and furries didn’t really reach mainstream awareness enough that uninvolved people started to think hating on them was cool until even later than that.

I don’t doubt someone involved in Cyberpunk Red took some enjoyment in making someone who dislikes furries uncomfortable, but I’d be VERY surprised if that’s why they were included back in 1988.


I don’t like Flatpak, so that makes it an easy choice for me. Flatpak apps never quite integrate properly

I like having Flatpaks as a fallback option, but if something is available in the arch repos, aur or chaotic-aur, I’ll always go there first


“Wrong” doesn’t have meaning in this context. Someone is giving you a label to try and describe a personal experience that they have access to that you don’t. The label they choose to communicate that to you is subjective. Because it’s subjective, other people can (and likely will) disagree with their self applied label. But that’s part of the process that impacts them when they choose and use the right label.


As much as you may think otherwise, sexuality and identity labels aren’t objective. They are subjective and self applied, because it doesn’t matter what label you pick, or how clear cut you think it is, there is someone, somewhere, who uses it differently. There is no single “truth” when it comes to these things.

So yeah, picking a label that helps you navigate the world is the smart choice. Because if you’re trying to pick a label based on some objectively true definition, you’ll fail before you begin, because there is no such thing in this context


That’s why sexuality labels and identity labels are best when they’re self chosen. People get to decide for themselves what helps and what fits. And part of that whole process is dealing with other people offering their opinions, whether you asked for them or not. That stuff impacts the labels people choose and/or the labels people choose to share.


Maybe don’t get a reverse prince albert then :P

It doesn’t sound like calling yourself blue eyed in that circumstance would help you exist in and navigate the world…


They didn’t enter the machines date of birth…
