not only are they still at it but they’re firmly in the “kicking ass” column while their remaining contemporaries are increasingly being filed under “no really it’s ok you can retire now please” category

“jaws” is an equivalent of that for a metro NY accent. i could never hear my own accent until someone had me say it and really listen for it. now if you’ll excuse me i need to walk my dawg to the cawfee shop

i’ve even heard rumors that tennis for two is a knockoff of a sport called “tennis” although this has yet to be proved conclusively

that’s the funny thing about genres and knock-offs, the only difference is scale. every game after pong is a knock-off of something that came before, and the great ones are the ones who purposefully or inadvertedly added something that made it a new standard for which to knock off, birthing a new genre. people hate terms like metroidvania or roguelike but imo those are the best genre names because they most clearly communicate the context and intent of the game

i use mobile sites whenever possible, but if it’s something i use often and the app is more convient i’ll relent. looking at my home screen it’s all mostly things that don’t have a web equivalent. i’ll use an app for things that i WANT notifications for, so really only mastodon and email. for mbin specifically i use the PWA because i’m not sure if any kbin/lemmy/whatever apps work with it, and the user CSS themes are pretty neat
