  • Pledging to vote for someone despite the genocide means they have no incentive to stop the genocide. That is the more dangerous stance.

    Bullshit, it’s the least dangerous stance!

    • You can vote for Biden and have him fail to stop the genocide
    • You can vote for Trump and have him enthusiastically support and egg on the genocide
    • You can vote third-party and have Trump enthusiastically support and egg on the genocide

    Those are your choices. Pretending that there’s some choice other than voting for Biden that causes less harm is a DELUSIONAL LIE, end of!














  • I’d say the 32X didn’t just compound the problems; it was the problem.

    The 32X only existed because of infighting between Sega of America and Sega Japan, and accomplished fuck-all except to almost directly compete against Saturn, cannibalizing sales, causing consumer confusion, serving as a distraction that caused Saturn to come out six months late in NA, etc. If 32x hadn’t existed, Sega could’ve just released Saturn worldwide that same day instead ('cause that’s when it came out in Japan). And, for all we know, Saturn itself might have turned out technologically better if Sega had devoted all of its engineering resources to it instead of splitting them with the 32X.

    It was also just a dumb unforced error that 32X and Saturn used almost the same hardware but weren’t mutually compatible. If 32X had been “a Saturn, but slightly cheaper because it’s piggybacking off a Genesis and MegaCD” instead of its own oddball platform, it might have been a raging success instead of a raging failure.
