    ModRetro is owned by the same war profiteer who runs Anduril Industries which makes human-killing robots.

    Their previous console had an edition made of the same metal as Anduril's lethal drones.

      No one should be surprised that this comment doesn&#x27;t go over well on HN. But the multiple people replying to you like &quot;Oh? Cool I&#x27;m gonna buy more now that I know it signals that I love war&quot; is really disgusting. And they&#x27;re all identical, like you&#x27;ve activated something in their programming.

        Yeah, I’m seeing this a lot too recently. I guess polarization comes for us all eventually. Nuance and cognitive dissonance are so painful for some they simply flatten their position to something that feels safely straightforward, even if ghoulish?

        Social media’s a helluva drug.
