While they don’t mention this, if you include the Gameboy, the author isn’t wrong - Nintendo did “win”

N64 vs PS1 no contest. But I don’t think they misspoke (even if the author didn’t really mention this explicitly in the article)

The Gameboy (plus color and pocket) outsold the PS1, and was more of a phenomenon. Also, the 90s saw the rise of Pokémon, which is the highest grossing media franchise of all time.

I’d be really interested to see what you’ve been working on :) are you selling anything? Are you open sourcing? Do you have any GitHub links or write ups?

If we take a simple definition of technology - such as “tool” or some external inanimate thing we use as an extension of ourselves - then I think all animals on Earth that we have deemed intelligent to some degree use “technology”. Crows using sticks to pick things out holes, chimps crafting spears for hunting, dolphins wearing “hats”, octopuses building stone fortresses, etc. So I guess it’s important to define the limit of the definition of technology.

Offering a rebuttal, and then backing it up with a personal experience is a perfectly normal form of conversation.

It is fine to amuse yourself with your speech, but it is worth recognising that it sounds like you are hosting a nature documentary about dumb animals, that exist beneath your own intelligence.

To think this person is deluded, but that you have saved yourself from the delusion all humans go through, is deluded.

> I do not view it. It is. (Speaking on moving from isolation to acceptance as an act of exclusion and chauvinism)

“It is” not. Perhaps it could be, alongside many other things - included in which are the benefits of doing so, such as acceptance, and internal peace. I implore you to go to any community around the world and try to fit in - chances are you won’t. You will then blame that community for not accepting you - or you will otherwise try to change yourself and only ever delude yourself that you are not just imitating them. It’s not racism, or anti-cisgenderism, to feel that you are not accepted where you are.

Maybe OP shouldn’t blanket talk about cis people - I understand your point. But my question is - do you only pick this fight with oppressed people? You yourself insinuate, in blanket fashion, “We have tried to get away from ‘oppression’ by giving the ‘oppressed’ the right to act out their chauvinism in public.”

Your words (and perhaps you, yourself) are very cynical. And it’s worth noting cynicism is a view on the world, not the world itself…
