I could easily listen to a lot of their songs on repeat, so I'm with you there!

I do find the video pretty enjoyable, though the song would still be stuck in my head either way. :P

Yeah. While a lot of people only associate him with "She Blinded Me With Science", while I do like that song, there are multiple songs of his I like more.

And people have heard more that he's worked on then they realize, too. He worked on several movies soundtracks, including "Howard the Duck", and "Ferngully: The Last Rainforest". The song "Howard the Duck" had three names credited as writers, but his was one of them. And in Ferngully, he's credited as writing "Life Is a Magic Thing", "Batty Rap", and "Toxic Love". And I've listened to the last two of those a million times...

Amiga International gave them the rights to sell it, basically. It's on wikipedia and other places, so I'm pretty sure it's legit, though there's something with another company also owning some of the rights... (And an alternative, mostly compatible OS called AROS.)

They are giving you WinUAE behind a frontend. Most, but not all amiga emulators are in some way descended from UAE, and a lot of people use WinUAE or FS-UAE, which is apparently easier to use. (Or running on a Raspberry PI, you might want something more specialized for that.)

Don't necessarily know the most about it, though. I watched a few videos, got a copy, had a fun time emulating an Amiga for a bit, then got sidetracked, and didn't quite get back to it...

The official one would be:

Even if you are going to use a different emulator, buying it there gives you legal copies of the Kickstarter roms and such for them...

The section that says "Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income,
employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online." kinda sticks out to me, too.

I think one thing to remember is that it's going to be on the XBox Game Pass when it releases. So if you are subscribed to that, you can download it for free and play it before you decide whether to get it or not.

Though, given it's supposed to be 125 GB, I'm seriously wondering if I want to dedicate that much storage space on my XBox Series S to it...

Right. I was on the opposite side on this, as I was giving someone a friendly reminder about marking a post nsfw, but we compared screenshots, and it clearly was marked as NSFW on theirs and not mine, and the same was true for several other posts.

Yeah, I was comparing notes with someone from another lemmy based server earlier, and was finding the same thing. Some posts that were marked as nfsw came over as such, but quite a number came over as clear.

Actually, comparing notes a bit, it seems like sometimes posts are marked as nsfw on the server they are from, but show up as sfw on our side. There's definitely some sort of bug going on here.

Whether the original subreddit is reopened or not, there are going to be plenty of people that don't want to go back to reddit, or never were over at reddit in the first place. It's possible this one will die off, but hopefully it won't and will stay its own thing, regardless of the status of the subreddit....

The B-52's had a lot of good music, actually. I quite enjoyed their album "Good Stuff"...

It seems a little early to declare them inactive, really. This magazine is 2 weeks old, and given when the blackout started, a lot of the ones in question are 4 days old or less. Not having any activity yet is understandable. And I could easily see deciding to do some of the prep work later after getting a few 503 errors.

I'd say if there's a community you particularly want to do well, post some content there yourself. Volunteer to help out. See if the person who created it is willing to add you as a moderator.

Some of them probably are dead, since the creator could easily have been trying things out here and decided it wasn't for them. But I'd say to give people a chance to return...
