Okay, so I tested with two iPhones. The recipient DOES still get a notification of the react but once they open the notification, it doesn’t lead anywhere. I tested with deleted messages as old as six months and the notification still works.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. That scenario would fit what I’m asking.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
Tech question. What happens in iMessage if I react to something but they already deleted the thing that I’m reacting to? Do they get any sort of notification?

I’m the same way, BUT sometimes you run into somebody whose brain is wired to think that scolding people online is activism, and while it RESEMBLES a conversation, they aren’t here to hear what you say; they’re here to farm “I am materially helping my community” brain chemicals with no effort
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
There it is again. I’m not doing that with you, man. I’m just not.

My context was pretty explicit that X having Nazis is worse. The idea is wanting Bluesky’s community to be better about how its users handle discourse and disagreements.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
There’s that dichotomy again. Assuming I’ve ever read Nate Silver beyond election cycles is also something
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
But do you maybe see how jumping to that extreme is kinda my point? And that’s too bad because you seem like someone whose content I’d otherwise enjoy.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
On this note, I’ll never not be grateful to BTE for, among many other things, allowing me to type my own name into GIF searches and getting back fun reaction options.

Honestly, incentivizing engagement is probably the biggest thing that harmed nuance and genuine discussion in social media. It really wasn’t always this way.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
That contingent found my post. 😂
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Man.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Out of curiosity, why is that the response?
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel you. Especially now as I’ve worked in wrestling for 2.5 years, I see more and more that most of the ideas that people online have of wrestlers in “real life” couldn’t be further from reality. Sometimes, you just want to enjoy who people are on TV and that’s okay. You should, actually.

Yea for me it feels like 2 places going in very opposite directions. Its why when I come here I have to go in with the mindset that if I don't 100% agree with a take I gotta not respond and move on or other wise be eaten and told I fit in with the other extreme. Its very with me or 100% against me.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
That was the first one. MK2 on SNES left everything intact content-wise. It was actually a shockingly great port. Really only the PC and 32X ports could compare. Most thought it was better than the Saturn and PlayStation ports and those were way more powerful.

This is an old RBR bit that I will never allow to die

Dear @unpaulfessional.bsky.social,
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. Sculptured Software did the terrible port of 1 on SNES, the excellent port of 2 on SNES and the equally phenomenal ports of 3 on both SNES and Genesis. Probe did 1 and 2 on Genesis and nothing after. Sculptured really excelled at audio in their ports, which is why 3 sounds so good on Genesis.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Sega seems to be using the graphic from the arcade. The SNES one is probably an entirely new render altogether
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
Random thought that’s always bothered me. Why did the Super Nintendo and Sega versions of Mortal Kombat 2 use different fonts for FIGHT? And it’s really just the G and the T. And Sega has a second exclamation point, which I can only assume is for extra fightness
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
Nah. That’s honestly not what I’m after. I actually like coming across people I disagree with. It allows me to either strengthen my own position or consider where I might need to reevaluate my position. Only time I don’t want someone in my feed is if they’re disrespectful to me personally.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
Yep! BlueSky has got to shed that walking on eggshells feeling and it’s entirely possible to do that.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
See, that’s that dichotomy I’m not interested in. Because I promise you there’s something in between a groupthink social space and a place that lets hate run amok. It absolutely does not have to be one or the other.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
I’d like to say that it beats having to deal with literal Hitler apologists on the other app and it does for the most part, but they’re both pretty bleak It pains me because it wasn’t always this way and the moment you step out and interact with real people, you know that still it’s not.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
Reopened my BlueSky today for the first time in a while. I want to support the app but I’m just drained of the internet lacking a safe space for nuanced thought. I’ve watched this app tear down and shun people for takes that were fairly mild and that sucks. A space simply can’t grow that way.

Man. So my dad worked for the VA until he retired in 2012. I was pretty much raised around the VA my whole life. He is a veteran himself (as a lot VA employees tend to be) and it’s scary to think about how what’s happening today is affecting real people with real lives.

The true beauty of making “DEI” the new buzzword boogeyman is that there isn’t a single person of color in any position anywhere that they aren’t convinced wasn’t a DEI hire. They’ve even resorted to using the term against elected officials.

Strap in, folks. This is only the beginning of a what’s about to be an astoundingly racist time in America. There’s no event or tragedy that they can’t blame on diversity in the spaces that surround them.

My son broke the right temple to his glasses the other day and we can’t get him in to get a new pair until Friday. So he used his 3D printer to make a new one and it actually holds up. I’m extremely impressed.

I like the arcade music better. Feels more authentically Street Fighter.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually, it did make it into ONE console version. Super Street Fighter II on Sega Genesis. Not SNES though.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
I had Genesis and the six button controller.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
Hyper Fighting is also my favorite. Super Turbo really feels like an entirely different game with all of the presentation changes and the addition of supers. It’s good but it’s different. Hyper Fighting is the most Street Fighter II feeling game of the series.
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
I see everything
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social) reply parent
That one was also an arcade exclusive that got fixed console releases.

I’m sure wiskas_1000 would’ve appreciated it
Will Washington (@willwashington.bsky.social)
So I realized the other day that the famous Guile quote, “Go home and be a family man!” never appeared in any arcade versions of Street Fighter II. That was exclusive to the SNES and Genesis versions. In the arcade and subsequent re-releases, it was this.
