Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

And the soundtrack is so good

Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

I use mine just about every day, I’ve been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I’m excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I’ve gotten out of it. But, that doesn’t really help anybody else, I know.

It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I’ve played start-to-finish more than once.

“Treat others how they wish to be treated, bearing in mind how you feel when you are mistreated” just doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way.

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That’s a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.

Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.

My sleuthing suggests I Saw the TV Glow (2024).

Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.

Eh, huel is like liquid clif bars. Sometimes you just want something quick and easy but reasonably nutritious.

Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.

Religion does not have to mean sky daddy or even have to imply belief in the supernatural.

It doesn’t read sarcastic to me; the joke is more presenting a fantasy as though it were practical dating advice.

Them titties are properly low-poly.

The Sun’s not going to explode, either. I’m beginning to think this dog is full of shit!

Not an unreasonable interpretation!

Is it surprising that people might miss that, though? Especially if they don’t already agree with the antifascist message.

4 in particular I think is more open to interpretation based on ones existing biases than people seem to think. Being over the top doesn’t necessarily have to be mockery and authorial intent is peanuts to a random personwatching a movie.

The other points IIRC are individual moments rather than recurring themes. It’s not surprising to me that significant numbers of people overlook them.

Is it really that mind-boggling? ST has always seemed to me to read whichever way you are already predisposed to. How does everybody dying make it an anti-war movie? I would be shocked if the kind of person who believes in the good of a war machine were surprised that lots of people die in war.

Maybe my memory is a bit hazy, but the bugs actually annihilate a city, right? What is the human response supposed to be? The extreme nature of the government and military only come across as insane if you’ve already been educated about fascism. Desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures, which muddies the antifascist message in my opinion.

It’s a great movie, but anyone who thinks it’s going to change anyone’s mind from their preconceptions is fooling themselves.

What am I missing?
