RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.English
571·10 days agoGaming literacy is a real thing. Most people who didn’t grow up with 3D games don’t intuitively understand it. I’ve seen many boomers either stare at their feet or the ceiling & they have no clue how to solve their situation because they are disoriented. Same with young kids learning.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Posts Wildly Racist Video of the Obamas | The president shared an election conspiracy video that included a clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes
6·14 days agoIt feels like this is a rage bait engagement ploy. Frontload the video with bullshit (again, projecting, because these same claims are levied against the last election in favor of 47), then put some rage bait shit at the end that the press runs too. The outrage bounces off of Teflon while his audience & the people pissed signal boost / raise engagement.
Why is “don’t” censored a bunch in the Epstein file? I wonder… 🤔

Games@lemmy.world•One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study RevealsEnglish
43·21 days agoI was included in this. Was laid off back in June 2025. One of the best places I ever worked.
The industry is super tough. I got very lucky & started a new job at the beginning of the month. Being out of work for 6 months sucked, and some people I mentor have been out much longer.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My brother grew up to become a homicidal freak. Are violent men common in the general population or was our childhood ROYALLY fucked?
2·23 days agoIf you think about it as “What’s the percentage chance that 1 of 4 family members is a sociopath? What’s the percentage that 2 family members are sociopaths?”, then I think it has to be less than 4%. Genetics make it more likely than 4% * 4%, I think.

News@lemmy.world•Gavin Newsom comes out swinging against California billionaire tax
29·1 month agoFor years, I’ve heard people say, “What? You want to outlaw wealth?”
This level of wealth? Yes. Tax it at 99% above 1bn.
You won the money game. Stop playing it. Help society.

News@lemmy.world•Gavin Newsom comes out swinging against California billionaire tax
34·1 month agoBillionaire math
Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth.
2026 * 365 = 739,490
$7,000,000,000 / 739,490 = $9,465.98
You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now.
It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030.
Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day?
This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher.
30 years * 365 day = 10,950
$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 = $91,324.20
I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS.
If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.

Spotify performs as one of the worst when it comes to creator royalties and appropriate pay.

It’s not THE worst, and these numbers have shifted since 2022. The general sentiment (that Spotify stiffs artists) is still shared by the general community.

News@lemmy.world•Santa rounds up migrants for ICE in Trump administration’s Christmas-themed AI video
17·2 months agoWe keep sinking lower and lower on the bar for civilized society. It was already bad in the US. It feels like a new low every day, either in competency, in malevolence, moral depravity, or all three. We’ve gone from “it’s the season of giving” to propagandizing fascist Santa, complete with passive aggressive Merry Christmas.
In the CECOT video, the president & warden are like, “Oh yeah, we fuck people up! Humans rights don’t matter here.” They are gloating to try and remove the shame of their lack of morality. Same thing is happening here. Shock & awe, flood the zone, & it never ends.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your opinions about the word clanker?
4·2 months agoA lot of people are saying there isn’t a rights argument, which I think is true.
Considering this through the lens of a video game, is it morally bad if I pay a hooker in GTA, use their services, and then kill them? I don’t think there is harm. I don’t think there are rights. It wouldn’t matter if everyone was cruel to GTA NPCs.
Having said that, from a behavioral position, I don’t think it’s morally good. Put another way, this sort of behavior isn’t a good thing to emulate. I don’t think it’s a good idea to cultivate a habit of emulating cruelty.
As others have said, there’s still the risk of AGI in the future as well.
With where we are right now, I don’t think it’s a big deal, but I’m not interested in entertaining new slurs, fictional or real.







Rhetorically speaking, can we please not give them marketing campaigns? They would run this.
