Yeah, I think you’re right. (No sarcasm.) I should keep such opinions to myself. I’m not at all against being a maker for the sake of making, actually. I guess I’m just a camera snob. Calling my criticism “pixel peeping” kinda set me off, and I lashed out, but that’s on me. :(
You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t have said anything.
That’s when you spit on the trash sandwich.
Haha! You don’t need to peep any pixels to see how terrible that camera is.
I’m just not into Lomo crap. Spend time with a real camera and take good photos. Tinker with your skills as a photographer and not with making toy cameras that you’re going to never use again after one roll of film.
My bad. I shouldn’t have said that.
“Awesome”
I don’t see the point when a used film camera would blow it away by a million miles.
The point is, in fact, to make something, and I shouldn’t be a camera snob.
“megashat” is the word you’re looking for.
It’s only one sentence. You might need to go to the ER.
Yes, and that song was about television destroying dramatic radio broadcasts. That happened in the early 1950s. So, about 72 years ago.
Gene should become a comic stripper.
Please don’t indent lines on lemmy. It causes the markdown to render it as a code block, which requires horizontal scrolling to read.
Use bullets instead: an asterisk followed by a space:
* Applying to job positions & negotiating better offers
* Leveling up in the AI age to stay irreplaceable
* Starting a side hustle (like a small SaaS, automation tool, etc.)
* Freelancing & getting clients
* Building an online presence (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) to attract opportunities

You gonna eat that bay leaf?
I feel very weird calling old games that I thought of as retro “vintage” now, but I guess I have to.
Nah. Maybe? Even I call them retro games sometimes. My favorite gaming hardware YouTube channel is called “Retro Game Corps”. It what gamers call them. Depending on who I’m addressing, I use either.
Like I said in my original comment, I was mostly being pedantic. Then again, if the entire gaming world shifted to calling them “vintage games”, I’d be thrilled. Someone recently started a thread here titled “What’s your favorite vintage game?” And I did a “Not bad Obama” face and nod.
in Victoria, Australia…
Well, yeah! I expect everything be upsidedown and backwards there! 😜
Now I’m curious how the Macquarie Dictionary defines the word. I can’t search it myself because it requires a login.
When people are calling modern things they know are modern “retro”, I think it’s just a simpler form of saying “retro-style”.
“People” in general? No. Only certain gamers.
It seems like you missed the entire point of my comment, and you’re the exact kind of person I’m talking about. A person who has no idea what retro means. You are using it wrong. And by wrong I mean unlike everybody else in the world.
This is what people mean when they say retro, (except you and some other gamers):
relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned
a retro look

Saying retro style is redundant. Retro is already referring to style.
“Retro”, which to me indicates its actual age.
The word you’re looking for is “vintage”. Retro means in the style of the past.
Me too, honestly.
Oh, god. I had not heard that yet, but… Ugh…
Oh, I know. I still hate it. “Super deformed”. Yeah, that sounds about right.

My last paragraph was added as an edit when looking at Jax’s comment and seeing it was downvoted into oblivion. It wasn’t directed at you.
Since you mentioned VSCode. I wanted to bring up VSCodium. It’s a fork of VSCode with no telemetry. Yes, it’s a full fledged IDE, and probably too much if you just want to markdown editor, but I use it for much more than that, and I think it’s great.
Sweet, tender and so flavorful. It’s great! I haven’t had it in, man… years. I remember it having a somewhat stronger squashy flavor than butternut, which I also love.
I definitely need to make some roasted squash this year!
