@PraxisOfEvil @ArdainianRight @CosmaruCiorilor @GroomerRemover I'm only a few months older than Nick and I can't take anything he says seriously.

@PhenomX6 @enigmatico Ouya was a brilliant idea but terribly executed. I always thought that it would've done much better as a handheld.

As much as the Ouya was the punchline among everyone and XBLA was infamous for arbitrary MS restrictions they were both doing one thing that needs to come back: every game on the platform was required to have a demo of some sort.

@enigmatico We really need a shareware renaissance. It's much easier now with digital distribution. There is literally no excuse not to have a demo unless it's one of those games where everything is a spoiler.

Shareware never hurt sales.

Doom was shareware. And people still buys and play it even to this day.

The corpos killed shareware. And now they complain about piracy.

Quote retweets were a mistake. They are one of the largest blights on the user experience of the modern fediverse. They make the entire network significantly less usable.

@rasterman @ArdainianRight @tsukiko@freak.university Or any political/economic ideology, as long as you do it voluntarily. "Live and let live" also means let people live by whatever political, social, economic system they want. Why don't we have a free-market in politics? Have you ever heard of Panarchism?
