  • What are your feel-good games?

    Jump

  • Retro games from my formative years:

    • Super Mario RPG
    • Forgotten Worlds
    • Any Sierra adventure game from the EGA/VGA era
    • Animal Crossing

    Newer games:

    • Assassin's Creed Odyssey
    • Fallout 4
    • GTA5

    I realize those are divisive entries in each of their franchises, but they're the ones that hit for me and just let me wander off and do whatever I feel like.

  • First Images from 'Masters of the Universe' characters Fisto, Ram Man, and Trap Jaw.

    Jump

  • Funny, I was just going to say that these characters should look foolish, but instead they look cool as hell.

  • What's the most surprising song you've heard in a supermarket? I once heard killing in the name of

    Jump

  • A few months ago, I walked into the grocery store and Dio's Holy Diver was playing. 40+ years on, the music and content are pretty tame, but it was still a surprise. I don't think RJD ever figured in that happening.

  • Best way to play original Gameboy games on TV...

    Jump

  • Gamecube. Player and disc run about $230 now.

    So you're saying maybe it's time for me to re-evaluate just keeping my GC collection in storage.

  • This is why people keep getting hacked

    Jump

  • Isn't MK in this scenario doing the same thing? Trying to put pressure on their family to use a piece of software they don't know and aren't comfortable using?

    I mean yeah, MK's take is more informed, but sides are likely to see it as the other side trying to get them to cave.

    Anyway. Rereading, "Signal is better opsec" when your 92yo grandmother wants to plan Thanksgiving is cracking me up.

    Jump

  • Okay.

  • This is why people keep getting hacked

    Jump

  • Right. Look, I want people moving to more independent services too, but I know that sometimes you have to meet people where they are. I keep Meta accounts because sometimes I need to see family pictures or engage with some random FB group.

    You can work on getting people to try things and adapt without just going "Fuck you, you do it my way or not at all."

  • How common was video game piracy in the 90s?

    Jump

  • Remember when we'd just torrent movies from the Blockbuster?

  • I apologize if my comment came across as overly critical or unhelpful. All I meant by it is that to my eyes, the brightness of the orange with the white border around the text is a harsh combo. It would be more comfortable with a darker background that contasts more with the white.

    See, you did more research than me, so maybe I'm totally wrong.

    It's a good job, I 100% support the graphic and idea behind it and I learned about a couple new services too. Don't let any of us get you down. You're DOING something and you should feel good about that.

  • Using the "torrenting" to mean both physically copying something and downloading is fucking me up.

    But yeah, in the US, pirated cartridge games weren't really a thing.

    For PC games, it was stupid easy to copy a game and give it to a friend. Copy protection for floppy games was usually just like "look up the 5th word in paragraph 3 on page 16 of the manual" which was easily defeated with a photocopier. And if you were on BBSes, you could gain access to the "private" file section or just find a pirate board. The limitations in hardware made it time consuming, but doable. Having a dedicated phone line was a huge boon.

    And then you get into CD based games, broadband, stronger copy protection ... And that hasn't really changed a whole lot. Where there's a will, there's a way.

    But man, the entire PC industry in the 80s was built on and thrived on piracy. If sharing programs and games hadn't been so common and easy, what would the home market have looked like? Would Doom have secured the same space it now occupies? Would Windows have become the prominent UI?

  • If you're going for readability / accessibility, that bright orange background is probably not the way to go. And I can't imagine it was helping your migraine.

  • Pavel Talankin's Oscar for Mr Nobody Against Putin found after going missing on NY flight

    Jump

  • I read that as the man had gone missing and all they found was the Oscar on the plane.

  • Trump DOJ says LGBTQ+ legal protections are "anti-Christian," pledges to erode them further - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • Right, so they'll just do it without Congress.

  • Low end free Android games for killing time on metro

    Jump

  • Offline Games from JindoBlu.

    A variety of timewasters with more added pretty regularly.

  • Thinking of adding Navidrome and Jellyfin to my set up

    Jump

  • Like others, I run both. Jellyfin for music was alright, but I didn't love how it handled some metadata and my collection now is around 28,000 songs (without bootlegs) and I wanted something dedicated to music.

    Absolutely love Navidrome. When I'm at my PC, I'll open it, hit the "Random" option under Albums and select something from the first page. This way I'm always surfacing things I would normally ignore and engaging more with my collection.

    Then, again as others have mentioned, I have Symfonium on Android. There's a "Track Mix" option that shuffles your entire library, or you can create dynamic playlists. The one I use gives me 50 random tracks, but filters out classical and tracks shorter than 45 seconds. Same idea though, listening to parts of my collection that would never be my first choice.

  • Get that bigger paycheck

    Jump

  • Tries to obfuscate the name of the content creator who would literally profit from more people being able to find her. Nice.

  • Get that bigger paycheck

    Jump

  • I actually had no idea that creators made more money from Premium views. It was already a sub I'm happy to pay for because of how it benefits ME, good to know they benefit as well.

  • What's your opinion of Flare (Bluesky/Mastodon/etc. client)?

    Jump

  • For what it's worth, I just updated today and there's a "Plain" post style now that goes toward making the padding issue better.
