@PurpCat All of this makes me wish that 8/tech/ was still around and active as it was 10 years ago. I wonder what they would think about the current state of FOSS.

@bonifartius His service has been hacked before and it is notorious for having long down times once in a while. I would not recommend it outside of throw away accounts.

@djsumdog I'm actually surprised that there are people that are NOT on there, but in case this guy is reading my posts, I'm not going to say who.

Imagine thinking that the incompetent email server maintainer is somehow a threat to FOSS.

I'm sick of these Europoor retro gamers gushing about their love and nostalgia for games on platforms like the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Amiga. Constantly, bragging about growing up with true hidden gems and how they had it better than American (and Japanese) gamers.

No. The games you grew up with are fucking shit. I'm sorry. There may have been a few hidden gems, but nobody outside of 50 hertz-land is nostalgic for single screen puzzle platformers for computers that can only display single color sprites and make far noises.

There is a good reason why American gamers are into Japanese imports instead of European imports. Japanese games still have a pick-up and play mentality (outside of tactical-RPGs). Retro-European games have an anything goes mentality.That's why they're nostalgic for unique and complex shit like Lemmings and Populous, or it's just some shovelware platformer/adventure game hybrid because "we have no idea what we are doing".

The idea that they think Americans would be envious of them just baffles me.

I wonder what 8/tech/ would think about the current state of FOSS.

@Saint-Tarrant @Matty @drew Someone should cancel him for using the word "lame". Doesn't he know how ableist that word is?
