The GameCube was pretty mediocre as a console, but SO MANY of its games have aged like wine.

The one thing I’d object to with the sports example is that I don’t wanna see game day threads for teams I don’t care about, but I’m totally open to general discussion of the league, including about teams I don’t follow. If literally JUST the GDT were split off to the individual team communities I’d be cool with it.

But I totally agree with the over-fracturing of interests. Every now and then I’ll see someone make a “spinoff” of a mostly dead community, just to post 2 or 3 things and stop. It’d be better if they just posted that in the existing community even though it only aligned 90% as well as they’d hoped.

I like caffeine, don’t like coffee.

I mostly drink Pu-Erh, but I got a craving for green tea on my last order and accidentally ordered a way bigger bag than I intended. So I’ve been working through that for a while.

I’d say solidly GenZ. Thinking that everybody else is stuck in the vortex of lies but you have now broken free by [doing something only marginally different]. The kind of idealism you see in youth. Fediverse apps help with some of the problems we see in other social media, but ultimately it’s a new diet, same shit.

I read once that a major reason the coffee is supposed to be good, is that the animals (in the wild) tend to seek out the ripest, healthiest coffee beans to eat. They’re abundant (prior to human intervention), so why settle for less?

But then we cage them and force-feed them whatever, so they’re just medium (or low) quality beans to start with. So even if you look past the cruelty, it’s not even the quality of coffee the reputation suggests.

Ah, Voat. Come for the freedom of speech, decide not to stay because ABSOLUTE freedom of speech inevitably becomes racist.

I think it’s just a symptom of “people”.

I grew up near the Mississippi. More of a wide brown line.

Similar to what you’ll find on the underwear of a cop that got spooked by a citizen with a cell phone.

Yup, RTGs are still subject to the second law of thermodynamics.

A degree in audio engineering.

It’s possible and there has been plenty of research done into it, but it’s a hard problem and not just a question of slapping an off-the-shelf EQ on it.
