Algorithms that try to suggest me content are universally bad, and all searches should provide results based solely on the terms, syntax, and language entered. Same with anything that tries to provide me content based on data harvested about my location or demographic.
Probably Marble Madness. The NES version was half my childhood and I love to seek out the arcade version at retro gaming expos, although my wrists are really not up to all that frantic trackballing these days.

Smart tech in general is annoying and dumb. I want my TV to just be a tv with inputs, I don’t need built in firmware and updates to shove ads in my face. I don’t want my car to have a touch screen to adjust the A/C, just give me a knob or buttons.
So far I am locked out of the Killian/Gizmo quest because both characters think I’m too dumb and dismiss me.
And big problem: I’m too stupid to use a slot machine. I had planned on using gambling as my money maker so this is a problem. Even with Mentats I’m still too dumb to gamble.
Because that would end up making a good portion of potential users feel uncomfortable using the site. There is no lack of pornography on the Internet, go look at it elsewhere.
Anecdotally, this is a position I’ve seen held more often by young people than by boomers. Not sure what the statistics are exactly, but regardless it would be nice to see a cultural shift away from alcohol.
I’m not subscribing to anything. If I buy something, it’s fully functional, and it’s mine. There is no ongoing relationship between me and the manufacturer. Done.
the idea that my account is hosted at an individual Lemmy server and that other servers trust that one to validate my account
I can't stress highly enough how much this isn't how it works.
You basically never directly interact with other servers. Instead, when someone on your host site first subscribes to a community hosted on a other site, your instance pulls in some recent posts from that remote site and then requests that all future content from that group be forwarded along to it. Then, people on your local site interact with that mirrored content, and your local site sends local additions back to the original host for syncing.
Your account only exists locally. You're always reading locally, and you're always acting locally. Everything else is servers mirroring and forwarding content.
