The Sega CDX. I had a Genesis, I had a Sega CD, but the thought of having both of those systems combined into one compact unit that also could be used as a discman (a really bad one, even I knew that at the time) was so appealing to me. There was one at the local game store for some absurd price ($350 I think) for literally years, and I would salivate over it every time I went in the store.
Ultimately I never got one, but at least I didn’t miss out on any games or anything.
Hadn’t even considered this, but I think you’re onto something. Even if it’s not the main goal, that could definitely have factored into the decision.
I agree. Reddit has been trying to sweep all this under the rug, and as pathetically transparent as their efforts are they have worked well enough that a lot of “casual” users probably have no idea what’s coming. When the 1st rolls around and they suddenly can’t use Reddit (as far as they know it) then quite a few will be looking for somewhere else to go.
I mean a lot of them will probably just grab the official Reddit app, but 30 minutes using that ad-infested garbage pile may dissuade them from sticking with it.
Chances are they’d be screaming it into the void with how fast their instance would get defederated though. :P
Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff.
It cannot be stressed enough how core this was to Voat’s identity, and also how much it poisoned the entire platform. When even objecting to bigotry is against the ethos of the site then there’s no way to build a healthy community, much less an inclusive one.
Also if anyone is curious how much of a cesspool Voat became, here’s the most “upvoated” for the month just six months before the site shut down. Warning: lots of bigotry.
No shit?
…I’ll see myself out.

Ah yes, character assassination that doesn’t address the content of the article
This message sponsored by liars who hate it when you point out their history of telling lies.
Ah yes, The Intercept, founded by blatant Russian propagandist and “Ukraine had biolabs” conspiracy promoter Glenn Greenwald. Surely this article is unbiased and not at all misleading.
Hey, Jesus was one of the OGs. MFer seeded so many copies of Loaves and Fishes.
Wow, didn’t figure they’d go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.
Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.
For general use I have a wired Mad Catz 360 pro controller with textured grips. Modest dead zone, no drift despite a decade of use, and comfy as hell. It’s an absolute workhorse and still works as well as it did when I bought it.
If I’m playing something that doesn’t require analog input I have an 8bitdo M30. If I’m not using it through Steam it can be a pain to map since it has a 6-button layout instead of the usual ABXY, but I vastly prefer the 6-button layout so it’s worth a little headache to me.
