The N64 is got objectively better graphics - being able to do perspective correction, having actual awareness of the fact that 3D objects have depth (z-buffer) and floating point precision. It's just extremely harmed by the low storage of the cartridges.

The PS1 can barely do 3D, being forced to calculate polygons but having no idea what to do with them, with warping geometry and textures deeply distorted.

Even though the myth is quite prevalent, the red and white color scheme for Santa is not related to Coca-Cola.

A massive amount of this world's plastic waste is related to Coca-Cola, though.

I use it as a "laptop" a lot, using a case with a stand and Logitech's mini Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I like it.

I don't disagree, but it's pretty weird that Americans always try shifting the blame or motivation around rather than admitting their own questionable behavior.

US being authoritarian? "Must be related to them Russians!"

Cats and kidney disease is a combination that unfortunately is way too common. I'm happy to hear he had a loving caring owner and lived many years, sorry to hear about his passing but I'm sure he had a great life.

I like sharing this little nugget recipe around just because it's very cheap, and healthy for children, pets and to be fair us adults too, I like nuggets haha.

I don't think the US threatening to take over other countries is somehow related to Russian imperialism.

It's quite literally the same old US imperialism that has always existed, only less sugar coated.

Cooked chicken breasts with a little bit of egg whites on a food processor or blender (use water if needed) will result in a paste that can be nugget-shaped and cooked.

Muuuuuch healthier for your cats, and for you too. For the cat, include some source of fat to make it more appealing.

2 completely different things that have the same name.

That's how grouping works, yes. You and I are clearly different, yet we are both called "human". In fact, you and a giant panda are both "mammals" despite being radically different.

I'm not the one who decided to create a post in a science fiction community claiming a huge portion of science fiction isn't "true science fiction" based on my own tastes.

Of course the point is semantic, do you want me to base it on what? Your favorite novels?

They're indeed very different... yet both are science fiction.

There's a difference between tech geeks and tech bros.

The tech bro is selling you NFT web 3.0 AR experiences, the tech geek might be learning Docker to self host a Lemmy instance, not because he needs to, but because it's fun.

Both have always existed: one was selling you some horrendous domain during the .com bubble, a plot of land on Second Life or even a perfect marriage based on a secret algorithm running on his Commodore 64, the other was busy playing muds and learning how to make free calls by ringing weird tones into a public telephone.

Sometimes you want to read something that blows your mind and innovates at the edge of philosophy.

Sometimes you want to turn your mind off and be entertained with interesting but predictable stories in interesting futuristic settings.

Both are equally valid experiences, both have merit, and both can equally be science fiction. You don't get to gatekeep and entire genre based on what portion of the experience appeals to you.
