@WolfJay they DID move their HQ to California, and I never said they hate Japan. They just tend to censor Japanese games coming out in the west. They also wouldn't allow Martha Is Dead to come out on their platform unless it was censored. Pointing to some examples where they haven't censored stuff doesn't take away the games they have censored despite not being required to by ESRB.

They've got a bit of a track record for it, that's why it comes up immediately when someone talks about Playstation. Their hypocrisy of letting some stuff fly for some studios that they don't for others, and that those studios are usually ones that are trying to promote "social awareness" is something people don't like this side of the fediverse.

Did you know that different eye colors perceive light differently?
https://atlanticeyeinstitute.com/does-eye-color-affect-vision/

Europe and Oceania tend to be more commonly green or blue colored, whereas Asia, Africa, and Latin America tend to be almost exclusively brown colored.
And for whatever weird reason, North Americans are often brown colored too, even including the white people.

This actually explains quite a lot of things, like why sunglasses tend to be much more commonly used in the west and not so much in all other cultures, why LED lights and other lights in general in the west are significantly weaker compared to here in Asia, why there's so much more street light here than there are in Europe, and so on.

Imagine being in your 40s and being mad at a teenager who isn’t your kid…what a fucking faggot

Pleroma admins, got a question for y'all:

I'm pretty tired of seeing reports come only from an instance, instead of a specific user. Is there a way to make it so I can reject reports that aren't from specific users?

@graf i know no one cares about us, but if you're giving out admin badges for helping peeps, could you tag me too?

@NEETzsche @Humpleupagus @ShariVegas ya'll are overreacting and need to go for a walk/put down the podcasts or something

@NEETzsche @Humpleupagus This just hit me like a ton of bricks.

I just made sure to remind my older brother, who has still largely disowned me, what my encryption key pair is. Just in case.

Kinda crazy that people are just now getting their hands on current gen consoles, and if last gen is anything to go by, Sony should be doing a hardware refresh in less than a year.

It's unlikely sony will do it because they've been struggling with pandemic supplychain stuff and you really just can't find their hardware anywhere

I wonder about Xbox though, Series S has been on shelves for quite some time and in abundant supply. When will we get a new Xbox..

Maybe 2023?
2024?

I used to collect for Gameboy and GBC like a decade ago and I have a ton of gamebois and a big stack of games

But like
Going out with a gameboy color in 2022 is a lil..
Idk
I'd be embarrassed to be seen playing it at this point lmao

@enigmatico would be super cute to have a wooden box with an LCD and a tiny linux box with wifi

DIY AIO machines, just add power

@thor
If fedi was a person it would be locked up in an insane asylum, in solitary confinement, with a straitjacket.

1. Invent banking.
Wow, we quite outdid ourselves. I wonder how can we do worse 😈
2. Outlaw gold. Go full fiat.
Excellent.
3. Central banks gifting money to irresponsible too-big-to-fail banks.
That's it. I'm going over to cryptocurrencies.
4. MtGox gets hacked.
It looks like the perils of centralization are ever present, even here. I am sure there's something to learn about all this.
5. Keep building cathedral-sized centralized exchanges.
That looks like a little to greedy.
6. Binance is bailing out FTX.

Last #fediverse comment and then I go to bed. There’s nothing watching you. You can like a picture of a cat and nothing will steer 100 more cat pictures into your feed. Nothing fills your screen with cat food and cat beds and ads for cat services. You can visit the timeline of someone #NSFW and nobody knows and nobody cares. It doesn’t feed anybody’s AI model about you and who you are and what you’re like. You’re not for sale here. The timeline: it’s chronological. There’s no steering it or reordering it or buying the top slot. It’s just like the weather. It just happens. Lean into it.
