Nanotrasen thanks you for your brave sacrifice in contribution to robotics research and construction of a new Bio-Utility Techno-Tool on Space Station 13.
- Comment on Super Mario Bros Remastered open source fan project brings an impressive remake to PC 2 days ago:
It requires a ROM to extract the assets and levels, which so far has kept a number of reverse engineering/decomp projects like this one safe, even from Nintendo. Argument being that it needs to be your ROM that you dumped yourself of the game in question, which is legal.
The majority of users are just going to download a ROM, but Nintendo hasn’t gone after these so far.

No way that holds up when challenged. Gacha games alone prove existing work.

I think part of the issue is that after winning on the platform of “change”, Democrats veered hard into “establishment status quo”. They won so hard that most people don’t even recall the bad parts of the Obama presidency at all (the point of my last comment, that it wasn’t all sunshine and roses), and then threw that lead in the trash.
They had a chance with Sanders, but threw away an absurd amount of public goodwill by very openly pushing him out of the running in favor of Clinton. That effectively left Trump as the only candidate carrying the “change” flag, and a lot of people were too dumb to see he was full of shit.
When Democrats had a chance again, they went with another “establishment safe” choice and only won with Biden due to an immense outcry against Trump. Then they lost again because they wouldn’t platform someone people were willing to get out to vote for.
If we get out of this shitshow, I’ll be very interested in what history says about the last few presidential races.

You may not have been paying close attention. Obama was astoundingly better than Trump, but invasive spying on citizens was allpwed to remain legal under his watch, and he extended what was allowed. Drone striking questionable targets started under him as well. There’s more, but those two are the highlights usually brought up.

Guess what? They’re trying to find a way to ban trans folks from owning firearms.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 2 weeks ago:
Nope.
512+256=768, 768+64=832… minus 7 for system data and general overhead maybe? That’s my best guess, but that’s a really odd size.

Unfortunately unlikely. This has happened before, where he’s abandoned commitments and not made any public appearances for days.

I feel you, but there’s some good news! There’s an indie games team working on a game that’s Air Ride combined with the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure.

Literal millions of us (myself included) voted “correctly” for Harris. Blue no matter who. We did our part for your petty ass purity test and we’re still getting fucked.
Must be nice to live in a world where people only experience the results of who they voted for.

Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).
- Comment on Slay The Princess - Official Announcement Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.
DLCs are also usually a paid affair, unless they’re explicitly referred to as “free DLC”. Not sure if you worded it that way or not, came to this post after you edited the title.

You gotta diversify your Fire Emblem Husbandos. Hector from The Blazing Blade (first English Fire Emblem, I think 7th overall) is GOAT.
Whole great game series out there beyond the edges of Three Houses.

Yep! But Control is based off SCP, not the other way around.

The faster sail and having the wind automatically change to be the direction you’re sailing are both features I’ve seen people use with randomizer mods for the GC version, but I don’t know if they’re available without randomizing treasures.
- Comment on Day 386 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
In the bloom-ified remaster OP is playing, there is a double speed sail you can get, and once you get the bow you can fight an optional mini-boss to get the abilty to warp.
Sailing is still monotonous though, if you aren’t in the mood to just vibe to the music.
They also streamlined the section of the game where you have to search high and low for triforce pieces. It was a hell of a slog in the original GC version.

This has been my argument for a while. If you’re doing boilerplate once in a while, it’s a good way to keep even the boring part of your skills sharp.
If you’re doing it regularly, just make a fucking template you can copy paste, or set it up in your IDE’s code snippet functionality.

Yeah, my phone screen is cracked and I’m holding it together with scotch tape, so there’s a slight blur. With it scaled down in this lemmy post, at a glance the yellow shade is indistinct enough that it almost looks like she’s nude and holding like a yellow posterboard in her left hand to cover up.

This is 15 years old. It’s not about “working”, or making a pun.
It’s about getting someone momentarily interested in a story, even vaguely invested, or just getting an engaging pace going before suddenly and violently transistioning into a recognizable non-sequiteur.
Extra points for getting a cheesy song stuck in people’s heads.
- Comment on Sony Sues Tencent Over Horizon Lookalike 1 month ago:
Would not be the first time, although usually developers then go out of their way to make things more legally distinct.
Off the top of my head, the PS1 game Croc was reportedly originally pitched to Nintendo as a 3D platformer starring Yoshi (it was made by some of the team behind StarFox). They obviously reworked it a ton before it released as what it ended up as.
