Eh, old fucks and young fucks alike have fucked shit up since we learned to walk upright. The main cause of many of our worldly problems for the past ~150 years is ultra rich people.

Technically correct, but I don't see the point of stating that

Many games don't age well in part because of hardware constraints (CPU, RAM and storage), in part because there weren't that many games to serve as examples of good and bad practices to follow or avoid. Then there are games like the Silver Box collection of Dungeons and Dragons, which were bad even when they were new.

It's still interesting to note that you can find many "(almost) never copied since" ideas in some old games, which still make them useful for inspiration for game devs and even entertainment for anyone who sits down to play. Hell, Ultima 7, despite being janky as fuck, is still a gold standard in world interactivity. While there are a variety of pokemon clones (TemTem, Cassette Beasts, Coromon), I'm unaware of any game that's similar to Digimon World (evolving tamagotchi battlers that die out/reset after some time)

Then there are the timeless classics, like Age of Empires 2 or Final Fantasy Tactics, which are yet to be surpassed; or Mega Man X and Super Mario World, which, despite being comparatively simple to stuff that came after it, still hold up incredibly well.

Kinda funny when you consider that Chrono Cross had a fast-forward item reward when playing new game+, all the way back in 2000

The GBA one? I remember it being a better version of the PSX, with more content, but you only had 4 buttons to do stuff (AB, LR), which really limited the shortcuts.

I guess most indie platformers focus too much on being metroidvanias, which makes classic platformers rare

Weird analogies and similes

Well, guess I'm half AI or, to put it another way, I'm similar to a machine that's being frequently affected by cosmic rays when doing calculations

It's so great that even the bacteria and fungi will stop aging!

 

For anyone that missed the initial news back in March -> https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/playtron-wants-to-go-way-wider-than-steam-with-a-gaming-os-for-core-casuals/

So, to everyone that was already kinda skeptical back then, congratulations, you were right.

 

 

For anyone that, like me, was aware of the "LK plagiarized Kimba" but only ever considered it "neat trivia", time to get some facts straight.

TLDW; Lion King didn't plagiarize Kimba, not by a long stretch. Also, around the 2h mark, our host compares Kimba (1950) to an even older comic of "Simba King of Beasts" (1946)

One of the best comments:

Title should be law professor gets owned by gay furry

If you want to get alcohol poisoning, take a shot every time YMS says "over 3000 minutes of Kimba media"

 

I say wiki as a point of reference, as it's the thing I'm most used to for organizing information, but anything that lets me create links on specific words, leading me to a different page/display can work.

I prefer FOSS, but anything that's a free download on the play store is fair game, TrackerControl should manage to block annoying ads.

 

Although playing online works, I haven't tried a direct connection/invite with another person, due to me lacking PC master race friends.

In the general server list, I think the SA region stands for South America? In any case, my ping was really high, so actually playing online is not feasible for me.

I'm using IGG games' torrent version, it was a simple extract and run. The fake steam account name defaults to NooB, so I recommend you change it in the following folder: %appdata%\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\settings - The account_name.txt is just the shown name, while the user_steam_id.txt is the acc number. I've changed both. Keep in mind that changing the id might make your saves disappear, so you'll have to create a new world, then copy over the save files - %appdata%\Local\Pal\Saved

If you're a fan of survival crafting, this game is a must play. The fact that you can play solo and change the world settings (exp rate, stamina depletion, hunger, etc) anytime before entering makes it perfect for all skill levels. I just think the default capture rate is too low, but I guess it makes more sense when you're online in a guild?

No idea how many hours I've spent playing, but I'm definitely buying this game in a few months.

 
 
 

Asking this because I've been thinking about resin printing and how a small layer of said liquid could, in theory, be used to make the prints faster and negate any problems regarding the FEP film (which can wrinkle, tear and be a hassle to clean when small pieces are stuck to it). The ideal liquid would have to be:

  • Inert to UV light
  • Not miscible with the resin
  • Denser than 1.25g/cm³

Maybe the liquid doesn't even need to have a small refraction, so long as the light doesn't diffuse too much after going through ~1mm of it. That or doing some compensation on the print.

 

I mean, you'll find people using PEDs in any sport, despite the risk of bans and everything. Steroid use is also rampant among bodybuilders.

There is an "obvious market", but why do such sport leagues or federations that openly allow those drugs exist?

I can imagine that such a thing existing would create an immediate and widespread health problem with lots of people, athletes or not, using those performance enhancers and accidentally fucking themselves. But what else could be a problem?

 

This is a 1994 book about the many woes that Unix derived systems brought to sysadmins that were used to other solutions. Considering the number of commands that Linux still uses, it's definitely worth a read.

The extra links in the article are great stuff. I'm very curious about checking out Oberon
