As a bisexual man, the 90s were much different for LGBT folks than today. But yes, for most people, the 90s wouldn’t be too much worse than today, aside from economics.

Was better in some regards. I think most minorities in the US would agree that they at least feel safe and more free to exist in 2024 than they would in the 1980s or earlier.
Some might put adds in front or at the end of videos. I’m sure the “viewer counts” also help them negotiate rates for adds on the page itself.
Hate to hear all of that was happening, but hopefully these two procedures will be the final step needed to get healthy.
I’m not super active on kbin, but I’ve never seen anything from Pug to suggest they’re a bad person. On the contrary, they’re probably one of my favorite posters on here, at least in terms of the content they bring. I also respect anyone here who actually posts content and engages in conversations. It’s more than most (myself included!) can say.
I’d say more Tuca and Bertie, they way they’re drawn looks really similar to the show’s style
Yeah, everyday I fear it’ll get taken down. I’m seriously unsure how it’s lasted this long. I hope it stays up forever though.
It’s possible to enjoy problematic media for parts of it that aren’t problematic while still acknowledging there are issues with what you’re enjoying. Especially for things made in the past, where societal standards weren’t the same as they are now.
I think this is especially true for video games, which have both story/visuals and game play. I could sympathize if someone found the game play of an older game very compelling even in the face of problematic story/visuals. Likewise, I can understand someone not enjoying a game specifically because they find it’s story/visuals offensive.
At the end of the day, as long as you can understand that a part of older media would be found as offensive to people today, understand why those parts are offensive, and know that those parts aren’t ok for modern media, then you’re good.
On the flip side, if you specifically, unironically enjoy these games for those parts, then yeah, you’re probably racist.
Edit: and in respect to your other posts here, I’ll add this: my understanding is that the mod was specifically targeting only that disclaimer, which means the mod maker specifically disagreed with the disclaimer. That is what makes it racist. If it skipped all intros in the game (which it sounds like it didn’t), or if the game didn’t have a built in option to turn that disclaimer off (which it sounds like it does) then people wouldn’t have as much of an issue with the mod.
I find it interesting, especially for games from smaller teams. But I suppose that don’t really add anything to the larger conversation. I just find it interesting to hear how some of these games are doing.
Correct, the PSP game got a remake that’s been out for a bit.
I hope they continue to release AA titles though, like Star Ocean and Harvestella. They actually released a ton of games over 2022/2023, but at some point I think they were competing with themselves.
I’d say they’re my favorite as well! They’re definitely the ones I tend to go to first when I get the urge to re-read any of the Discworld books.
Good choice in username by the way!
I’d like to recommend Old Man’s War, which is the first book in a sci-fi series. I read the first 3 books in the series basically back to back within 2 months and really enjoyed them. I’m in a similar spot as you and I’m getting back into reading after not reading much for the past few years and these got me back into the habit.
Not sci-fi, but anything in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is also a good (and usually easy) read.
I’m reading The Golden Compass for the first time. I’m enjoying it, but I’ve been going through it slower than other books, and I’m not sure why. After I finish it I might go back and re-read a Terry Pratchett book.
If you have an android, you could look into installing revanced on your phone so you can listen to YouTube with it without ads instead of on your work computer. That’s what I do.
It doesn’t, but most game sales are front loaded at release. Having 8 months on the shelf still makes a difference, for sure, but it’s still notable that it was number 1.
It looks like Frogwares is listed as the publisher here, so it sounds like whatever issue they had with their previous published has been resolved. I hope they got all the money they were owed
For what it’s worth, confirmed for me as well. Except “new”, that page seems to work fine.
On Mobile, using Firefox on Android if that matters.
Correct. When I found out it wasn’t going to be on steam, I figured I’d get a physical copy for the PS5 instead. Found out that wasn’t all option either…
In my city, it looks like the showings for the first film are at 3:30/4 pm on a Friday. I wish they had been able to get a later start time for at least the Friday movie…
