remember sears arcade systems? i think that was their knock off of intellivision. white/cream color, and i think its controllers could actually be unplugged.
we had a c64 in my family at one point too. ghetto blaster/street beat, pipeland, dart tower, street surfer, bc quest for tires [you play as a caveman riding around standing on a wheel], one man and his droid. i played those.
reddit is transforming itself from a social media platform into a history lesson at this point. I’d say don’t feel guilty if you still browse reddit at all, but don’t be shocked when it’s gone either.
the attitude and behavior of the company towards the community is what’s going to finish it off more than anything.
there’s so other ways they could’ve monetized reddit without causing all this, but they seem hell bent on being obtuse. to that, i shrug and move on.
i liked reading discussions and learning things from lurking reddit but never felt compelled to participate in discussions. now that i got my lemmy account figured out my desire to be on there is even less.
for some reason i actually want to be a part of the fediverse community. maybe it rekindles some of that old internet spirit for me.
reddit certainly had a plethora of communities. the fediverse can get there too.
it’s going to be more hands on than reddit. we can’t wait for things to come to us like products on a conveyor belt. the content is in the discussions.
as long as people continue to participate, it will grow. stay positive.
what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?
mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic (www.pcmag.com)
If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users
A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit
