No, no, it does work, but it depends on the size of your library
- Comment on Diamond market 4 weeks ago:
Ah, i misunderstood, yeah, there’s got to be some rigging in that demo pic now that you mention it, however if Moissanite is essentially a drop-in replacement for diamonds in jewelry that is cheaper and looks even slightly nicer, which seems to be the case, then all should be well, doubly so if it kills the profits of De Beers. I’d ask to see the contrast IN PERSON if i was shopping for rings today though, nothing beats that.
- Comment on Diamond market 4 weeks ago:
Moissanite is a completely different substance than diamond, it’s a silicon carbide crystal, and it’s also made synthetically so no worries about exploitation mining, it’s also cheaper
- Comment on Diamond market 4 weeks ago:
For a few years I’ve saved this pic from previous similar posts in various places, no need even for freaking diamonds
- Comment on Don't sleep on Retroachievements, big competition coming to beehaw & RA soon 4 weeks ago:
Had typed a long response and it went away, let’s try again… 😅
So, been lately in a Castlevania binge (Metroidvanias only, I’ve always sucked at the platforming ones) and there’s a nice group of games there, you beat Aria, now try Dawn which happens a year later, a very rare direct sequel among these. Then there’s Harmony of Dissonance, Circle of the Moon if you’re into that one (I’m lukewarm on this one), Dawn as mentioned, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclessia, and of course the grandaddy of them all, Symphony of the Night. All these are FREAKING FULL of achievements on Retroachievements, unlike the officially released versions on Steam with the Advance and Dominus collections, which only have a tiny handful for each game. Retroachievements has like 5 to 10 times the achievements for games, every achievement on the official releases is in Retroachievements, along with A LOT of ones not covered. Even tiny little missable details like this one on Symphony which I’ve always loved. It also has achievements for the nutcases like speedrunning ones or the “Defeat X with no damage and without using so and so item”.
Just make sure the emulator and retroachievements recognize it, i’ll have to redo Portrait at some point because it never recognized it as Portrait for some reason (ROM issues or something?)
And of course, once you’re done with these, there’s Bloodstained, the Castlevaina not Castlevania, quite fun and with the right vibe!

Tha’s been my beef with GOG for years now, their utterly stubborn stance of ignoring anything besides Windows even when it’s common sense to do so

The only correction i’d do to this message is to stop calling this person “Zuck”, Mark Zuckerberg IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, stop calling these fucking bastards cutesy friend names or on a first name basis (like “Elon”, Zuck" and others like this) , they DO NOT deserve them and they WANT to be called that

MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn’t be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it’s what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn’t be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.
Also as you’re uploading that data to a random website you’re effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.
- Comment on Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair 3 months ago:
Somebody was suggesting this was deliberately done to bleed Pocketpair out of money and halt development that way, patent cases take years to be solved, and all during this time they have to keep paying lawyers. Nintendo likely has a small army of in-house lawyers so it’s no trouble to them, but to their victims it’s life-ruining.
