- Comment on Rayman Legends - Question 10 hours ago:
Unfamiliar with the game, but on 3D animations on 2D games, some times it's how the engine is used.
For example, Castlevania SotN from what I've seen, runs on a 3D environment, but with the camera in a fixed point and the characters moving within the plane of the camera's view. This allows using far less polygons, to be within the limited amount PS1 games could have while having great visuals. This also allowed to have the aforementioned 3D graphics, like from save points and the demon books from the library part of the castle.
Similarly, despite not having 3D graphics in the traditional sense, iirc Hollow Knight uses a similar fixed camera technique as SotN, but added a moving layered background to give the sense of depth.
Some more examples come to mind, but as, again, unfamiliar with Rayman, Idk how much I'd be straying from the topic.

Open an user's page, and bookmark it with a brief description. Or have an alt in software that allows this sort of thing.
- Comment on What do you think about what corporations are doing? 4 days ago:
"You will own nothing and you will be happy". No inequality if everyone's equally miserable, and helps push the acceptable amount of control. Something not just these companies do, and that I have the impression that isn't even originally their agenda.

Is this some Lemmy-compatible app, or the browser?
If some app, might I suggest trying to upload through the browser, to rule out if that's the culprit?
- Comment on Are you able to trade foreign games in the US & Canada? 1 week ago:
On why only have one language, maybe size, licencing for a given translation having different rules than the rest, focus in a given market, position of the planets... Could be N reasons.
On if you can trade games, only vaguely familiar with Canadian and American laws, but afaik, nothing should be stopping you? Maybe aside from a game being explicitly forbidden (dunno if either have such a list), or if they break some law.
Also more broadly, among people with Japanese as a second language, native Japanese speakers living in the two countries, collectors, resellers and import sales, I'd say you have a non-zero chance of finding someone interested.
And about age-rating boards, I don't think I've seen them have Executive/Legislative powers in either countries, only as a recommendation/guideline measure. May be good to confirm on that though.

Dunno how feasible SD cards would be, but USB sticks with plenty of goods that came along like Indiebox did, personally I'd get.

- Comment on Can a region locked Switch 2 still be jail broken? 2 weeks ago:
But some consoles are modded, that's for sure. Perhaps that would allow investigating further exploits.
Still, console modding that depends on services provided by those not interested in the modding, like the company behind the console itself, is generally not long-lived. So looking at how modding in this era of services usually goes, I'd suggest keeping yours offline, and on the lowest firmware version ("system version") you can.
At worse, put it online to download the patch for supporting physical Switch 1 games if needed, and figure out how to remove the nagging update message that will keep appearing afterwards (maybe the safe boot option like with the Switch 1 would work?)
- Comment on Can a region locked Switch 2 still be jail broken? 2 weeks ago:
Not familiar with the Switch 2's eventual region locks, but are those still a thing? On Switch 1 at least, you just had to change your account region in the settings in some browser, no questions asked. Though it wouldn't be the first time Nintendo does console 1 without geoblocking, console 2 with geoblocking, and console 2's backward compatibility without geoblocking (DS & 3DS being the first case).

Did a quick search and found that the groups seems to be in a few other places:

Additionally, helping monetarily the instances you use should translate to more resources to service upkeep and upgrades.
- Comment on Recommendation to defederate from hilariouschaos 1 month ago:
Agreed. Better contact them to be sure, before escalating or even going for nuclear options. At worst, if it's causing problems, a temporary defederation as contingency while the issue is resolved.

- Comment on Unsure if it's just lemmy.world or all of Lemmy, but I'm suddenly getting "error" messages everywhere 1 month ago:
Never mind. I was going to test with an alt, but even pulling my test community, !test_magazine, over at lemmy.world, results either in this error:
Or a Cloudflare error where the final point of 3 (still waiting for it to happen again to take a screenshot) is unreachable.

Could you link a post whose interactions give errors? And do these errors happen even if you remove you reaction and react again?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Bots and bot-like figures that post to communities I've been blocking, as well as domains that I find to not aggregate much and that are posted to communities. GTA6 noise coming to my feed then becomes minimal, and I'd suggest the same then.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 2 months ago:
The Switch 2 is a ticking time bomb, a lot of its functions, including gaming itself if considering the "game key cards", being tied to services.
- Comment on Why is this community looks empty when looking from other instances? 2 months ago:
Additionally, someone in an external instance can pull older posts by searching their links in the search page, even if you get the link from yet another instance.
Only caveat is if the original post is unreachable, e.g. if communications were blocked ("instance defederated"), DNS or firewall is misbehaving at instance level, the instance is dead, etc.
Also, boosting, a microblogging thing, allows spreading posts further, though a bit more indirectly.

@DeltaLima, a tip, when posting from Mastodon to a community, have as the first paragraph of the posts as something that works as a title, else it gets pretty ugly:

- Comment on 3 months ago:
Makes me think, maybe I'm getting gritty aesthetics of DMC mixed with the nasty aesthetics of the 2013 reboot, being several years since I played either, and because of that it wouldn't sound as off.

"It's not a problem for me therefore it's not a problem for other people". Considering it's true, rare are the people online or in person that have the patience for that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Overposting makes people ignore the given posts, no? Also, that depletes what your contents pool too quickly. Need to strike a balance on how much to post to ensure a healthy feed.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 months ago:
Having seem strong protests become meaningless for being one-offs, I'd strongly recommend, besides doing this initial boycott, to keep pressuring against them whenever you can. Get the games you're interested on competing platforms when possible, share the word of what they tried to pull, follow their competitors on social medias, etc. But don't let the dissatisfaction die until they correct course.

Wrong community? Sounds like there's context missing.
- Comment on Why does not LW have it's only little icon that can be seen across the fediverse? To let people know which area of the Fed we represent. I would totally put it by my name. 3 months ago:
Would the handle not suffice? The
@lemmy.worldpart of every user and community of the instance.Or, if that's what you are asking for, locally Lemmy doesn't show a handle, and looking at the settings of an instance I have an alt on, there doesn't seem to be an option to toggle the display of handles, for either local or external users/communities. In that case, using a function on that idea on Mbin, I'd second the idea of implementing on Lemmy.
- Comment on Is the Switch 2 a waste of money? 3 months ago:
I'm biased towards preservation, ownership, tinkering, analogue instead of online, and the sort, and it doesn't feel like it's worth the price to me.
Also in that line, I posted my reactions to using the console the console for the first time some weeks back for what's worth it:
https://thebrainbin.org/m/consolemods@lemmy.sdf.org/p/749690 - Comment on Contemplating on playing a controversial developer's bought game 3 months ago:
With the money already spent, I think it should be played. The nagging problem would be that the game, unless an emulated MS-DOS game, is tied by DRM to their launcher.
But still, in the line of not losing as much by not playing something you spent on, playing the game could be good at least to leave an in-depth review about the qualities of the game, the technical sides, the background of the company, price point, etc. And you could also post the review to NeoDB (part of the fediverse), Steam (if you have the game there), GameFAQS, etc.
