c/libertyhub@lemmy.blahaj.zone is full of transphobic trolls
  • Yeah, I've personally had them tagged as "leftist trump bot" since interacting with that sub once and getting banned immediately. I've since seen them post sane stuff elsewhere on the fediverse and was surprised as within that sub they seem completely unhinged.

  • Oh yeah, that community is horrible. I saw a ton of their posts popping up on my feed and made a comment on there before blocking it (some question about the heavy advocacy for voter apathy) and was immediately banned.

  • Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right.
  • Yeah I understand they were all 6th gen. My point was just that it doesn't really make sense to blame the Dreamcast failure on its timing. Dates also matter:

    Late 98 was release in Japan
    Late 99 was release worldwide
    Early 2000 was PS2 in Japan
    Late 2000 was PS2 worldwide
    Early 2001 Dreamcast was killed
    Late 2001/Early 2002 Gamecube and Xbox

    The meme makes it look like the Dreamcast popped up late, but timing was not the reason for it's demise at all. PlayStation dominating the market, as you mentioned, was probably the biggest one. People knew the PS2 was around the corner and the Dreamcast had barely been out in the EU by the time the PS2 was strutting it's stuff on the Japanese market.

  • Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right.
  • Yeah, I'm of the opinion the Saturn was the real problem. It was not a bad step forward compared to the Megadrive, but compared to the PS1 it was nowhere near as good.

    Dreamcast was a great console. It was really ahead of it's time with a bunch of things, the VMUs, the internet connectivity, the range of peripherals and keyboard/mouse integration. It was the first console I ever got relatively near release and never regretted it.
