As a millennial, I think zoomer slang is much funnier than ours was. We said things like "epic win" or dumb shit about Chuck Norris but these zoomers are out there in the trenches sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler.

It's my body cracking like a glow stick whenever I move yet refusing to glow and the subsequent disappointment felt.

As a kid I went with "douche" which was the style at the time

Actually I am a paleontologist and coincidentally I do have a new discovery. I call it "Largefoot", or it's taxonomically correct name, Largus Footus. I would show my definitive proof but I left it in a pocket of my other sweatpants.

It's no secret that the "i" in "Gilgamesh" stands for "ipad".

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy "whataboutism" to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn't mean it's not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it's no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.

I disagree. Nintendo isn't just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard's is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don't just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people's lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.
