I mean, I’ve seen this meme about Ferengis, so there’s that.

This isn’t “providing and opportunity”. This is exploitation. Full stop.

And yet: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”

That has never sat well with me. It suggests that God leads the sinful into sin, and capriciously decides whether to deliver or condemn.

For some perspective, the Oracle games are unpopular in terms of Zelda games. Zelda is one of the most widely popular video game franchises in history, though. So an unpopular Zelda game is still much more well known and well received than something more obscure.

The Oracles are some of the best selling and most well regarded GBC games in the system’s library, though they are overshadowed by Link’s Awakening DX and the glut of Pokémon games the Game Boy Color had on offer.

Agreed. I am known to hum it when playing board games with friends.

I already did full backups of both cards and moved the games over to a 200gb Lexar card, along with my own ROM archives. The one thing I have found a consensus on with these systems is that the default cards are garbage.

So what makes ArkOS better? I’m looking into trying this.

What? Is this meant to be ironic or something? They’re two of the most popular GBC games.

Metroid.

How did I scroll through this list and not see Samus Aran mentioned?

Had a woodshop teacher steal my dad’s hat exactly like this.

There can never be enough Gowron.

When Sync stopped working on Reddit, I found kbin and Lemmy, and haven’t looked back. Especially with Sync being on Lemmy. Reddit isn’t worth the agitation anymore.

Came here to suggest this.

You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite users on here. Such a goldmine!

This made my day.

Yeah, some elements of Snow Crash have definitely not aged well. The pervy sex scenes with the underaged girl have definitely outlived their welcome. Stephenson has certainly come a long way as a writer since he wrote this.

I really need to read the Expanse series! I loved the show, and I’ve heard the books are significantly better.

If you’re gonna check out Gibson’s Neuromancer, maybe check out Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. Both are foundational cyberpunk.

Edit: Also, Project Hail Mary is one of my favorite novels. Can’t gush enough about that one. Reminded me a lot of Greg Bear’s Eon.

Data is beautiful. And fully functional.

You assume that the majority of them live there by choice, and not because they lack the resources and opportunities to move. It’s kinda hard to pull up roots and move half way across the country when the economic and political realities of where you currently live force you to remain firmly entrenched in poverty with deliberately restricted access to any means to improve that situation.

By your logic, black people must love prison, too, because they represent a disproportionate percentage of the prison population. I’m sure it has nothing at all to do with disproportionate enforcement against them, right?

Yes! Things are looking up!
