Comment on Nintendo Switch - Nindies Showcase Spring 2019 in ~games
Deimos Link Parent I love Super Crate Box. If you don't already know about it, you might want to check out Super Mutant Alien Assault, which calls itself "The Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones".I love Super Crate Box.

I spent way too long debating over a name for Tildes and honestly, I think most names are terrible if you focus on them in isolation, we just get accustomed to them. The most popular site in the world is named "Facebook", that's a pretty objectively terrible name (yes, I know what a face book is, but it's still not a good name). Google is an accidental misspelling of "googol", a word hardly anyone knows. Nintendo named a system "Wii" and then even named the next one "Wii U", double awful. You just get used to them all and stop noticing how bad they are.

This is definitely a more general problem we should try to address at some point though. I'd like some way to split off all the meta discussions, especially when they become totally obsolete after they lead up to a change that gets made.

You've been here for about a day, so I don't think you have much perspective other than "this isn't how reddit works". This isn't reddit, don't try to look at everything here through that lens.

Deimos Link If someone misuses the ability to change tags or edit titles, I (or someone else) fixes what they did, and I take that ability away from them. This is a core principle of Tildes: Trust people, but...How is not having a downvote button better if people can just tag anything they want as "fakenews" or change the title whenever they want?

Furthermore, can people simply remove whatever post they don't care for on a sub?
I am the only one that can remove posts right now (and this probably won't change until the site is much larger).

Trump nods along as Bolsonaro says their countries are united for "traditional family lifestyles", and against gender ideology, politically correct attitudes, and fake news.
Here's the full quote:
In conclusion, may I say that Brazil and the United States stand side-by-side in their efforts to ensure liberties and respect to traditional family lifestyles, respect to God our creator, against the gender ideology or the politically correct attitudes and against fake news.
Overall, maybe just a link to the entire press conference video is best, instead of focusing on one 10-second span of an event over 20 minutes long (and that detail could still be in the comments).

Deimos Link This seems pretty sensationalized. Even the article itself says: Here's the actual section of the press conference: https://youtu.be/J8DAn1KcWxI?t=703This seems pretty sensationalized. Even the article itself says:
Trump did not respond to those comments, but he smirked when Bolsonaro mentioned “fake news.”

Git can store binary files too, it's just a lot less efficient if it can't figure out a diff (and you won't be able to view a meaningful diff between versions or anything).
