Geeks and nerds are never gonna like you Elon. Mainly because you are a shit person but also because a poser.
Lemmy is ET for Atari
Reddit seems like more of a landfill of missed potential and disappointment than lemmy. So, it’s ET.
Lemmy is a fractured, incomplete vision like Atari: Waterworld (1984), one piece of a larger puzzle that never came together. A high concept mess, that only gains traction due to the failure of the larger players, but never took off.
If I wanted to be kind to lemmy I would call it the Adventure (1980) of social platforms : a clunky, primitive collection of blocky squares that is objectively hard to look at, yet beloved by a small cult following simply because it pioneered a cool open world concept.
I thought we may have been doing this for ages, with books and movies, but the only example I can come up with is using “lovecraftian” like “soulslike”.
Metroidvania is definitely a term, even if it can’t be used in the same way and is far more neutral.
Also, roguelike, named after Rogue (1980).
Wtf does vibeo gane mean !
video gane
Reddit is a competitive FPS. Full of bots. Everyone’s trying to clown on everyone else with a single devastating shot. People get banned for spurious reasons. The UX keeps getting worse in the name of money. Everyone agrees that it was better before it was super popular. There are various better alternatives, but they never grow out of niche status.
So, unreal tournament
99 was great, but my personal favorite is 2004, the soundtrack is full of absolute bangers
Pornhub is the Duke Nukem 3D of video streaming sites
Mastodon is the Worms World Party of social media

Twitter is not Wolfenstein, because nobody is shooting the Nazis.
Twitter is Wolfstone 3D with Terror Billy.
Elon has never played those games. He LARPs as a gamer, pretends to know the culture but just pays people to level his characters.
Look up videos of his Path of Exile 2 character lol.
The PoE stream where he boasted a top tier account then got clowned on the tutorial boss was epic.
Sharing his Elden Ring build also suggests he doesn’t quite know whats up either.
You can tell just from that tweet alone, lmao. What the fuck is he even saying, that mocking is very accurate.
I had a friend-of-a-friend who was actually one of the guys who Elon paid to level his PoE character.
My friend was a streamer, was just chilling playing PoE with other guy. Elon randomly joins the stream, chit chats with them for a while and then PMed the dude
Why did you have to do Zelda dirty like that? Instagram is more like League of Legends. The only way to win is to not play
He is not a gamer
What a dumb fucking take, Wolfenstein is all about brutally slaughtering nazis not platforming them.
I used to hold out hope that it was all an elaborate trap. The longer it goes without snapping the less hope I have.
Twitter is not Wolfenstein because nobody can do anything about all the damn nazis. At least BJ could make a difference.
It’s really more like the backrooms. You kinda/sorta just wind up there, nobody can do anything about this nonsense, and it just doesn’t end.
The main reason why Twitter isn’t Wolfenstein is because you can’t shoot the Nazis.
Lemmy is the shareware version of DOOM (1993).
Lemmy.ml is Red Alert 2.
Then who’s the expansion, Yuri’s Revenge?
Lemmy is the open-source version of DOOM '93 bundled with the FreeDoom pack. As in, both are programmed by questionable people, but the community has done its darnedest to make it available everywhere regardless
Yep, and it’s running on a Beowulf cluster of Nintendo Game and Watches.
If its running on a dozen copies of the Mario one where you sling beer down a conveyor belt to load trucks we will be okay.
Tapper?
It’s true, every time I log in I hear the music for E1M1.
Standard Lemmy is a mobile port with screen joystick controls.
mlmym/old.lemmy.world is Doom (1993)
Losing my shit over vibeo gane for some reason lmfao
