I really don't mind having a separate account for Lemmy and Mastodon. It's not pleasant to force different types of content into different website formats, even if the implementation is "ideal".

That said, I am surprised Misskey doesn't allow you to follow @fediverse@lemmy.world as you would follow a user, Mastodon allows this (it's not as good as viewing inside Lemmy but it does work).

but B is the most right.

C is most correct canonical URL actually. See the HTML at the bottom of this screenshot

More confirmation that C is the canonical URL. Check the section in the HTML (bottom of the screenshot)

Remember that posts belong to users, the community only does a retweet/boost of the post.

This is why it's the link provided by the fediverse icon on Lemmy, and the "View original on..." link in PieFed. On Mbin it's the "Open/Copy original URL"

I don't think there's a quick way to get link B, but C is literally called the canonical URL. Check the section in the HTML (bottom of the screenshot)

use the fediverse icon to get the canonical link to a post (which is option C in your list), you can right click it to copy the link

on piefed.social it's in the overflow menu:

on Lemmy it's just the icon

although sometimes I do not grab the canonical link, like if the instance is slow or has poor downtime, I'll use link A or B from your list

(someone should maybe add this info to the Lemmy docs https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html idk if piefed has similar docs)

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

C is the original, not B

for example, this post's permalink is piefed.social not lemmy.world

points at https://piefed.social/post/1003350

unfortunately there's a nearly 0% chance that such a project would make the kind of money that EA wants from their games

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

they're on a very recent version so it should be good

have you tried removing and re-adding the account to Boost?

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 55 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I actually loved the mechanics of this game, the gunplay and flying controls were so tight

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

interesting, my other account is working

which instance? is it running a decently recent version? like 0.19.10 I guess is probably recent enough that it should work

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

other fediverse accounts?

a lemmy.world account only works on lemmy.world, nowhere else, passwords are not shared with other servers

instead you use lemmy.world to access the communities from other servers, such as !dosgaming@retrolemmy.com

 

Standout entries:

 

Anyone ever played this game? I remember it pretty well, especially the egg puzzle at about 3:40 lol

 

Happy 35th Anniversary to (I believe) the first Ninja Turtles game for home release. I loved Ninja Turtles as a kid, and I did attempt to play this game (on NES) a lot, but it was way too difficult lol. At least the soundtrack rocked.

For this post, we're using the May 12th release date of the Famicom and other platform releases. The NES release was June 1st. Apparently this game was on DOS too, I had no idea it released on so many platforms! Wikipedia lists the platforms as: Nintendo Entertainment System, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, MSX, ZX Spectrum, PlayChoice-10.

Wikipeda Synopsis

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, known as Geki Kame Ninja Den in Japan and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe, is a 1989 side-scrolling action-platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System released by Konami. In North America it was published under Konami's Ultra Games imprint in the US and the equivalent PALCOM brand in Europe and Australia.

Alongside the arcade game (also developed by Konami), it was one of the first video games based on the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, being released after the show's second season. The game sold more than 4 million cartridges worldwide.

Post #1: [Retro Platinum] King's Quest: Quest for the Crown (1984-05-10)

 

cross-posted from: https://retrolemmy.com/post/6261478

Happy 40th anniversary to the first game in the King's Quest series, one of the first graphical adventure games, and where Sierra really made their name.

This game also kicked off the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine, which Sierra used for many games. Wikipedia says: They employed it in 14 of their games between 1984 and 1989, before replacing it with a more sophisticated engine, Sierra's Creative Interpreter. There's no Wikipedia article for the SCI engine, but I know it was used in Phantasmagoria and Shivers, here is the ScummVM wiki page for SCI instead.

Wikipedia Synopsis

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown is an adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line and published originally for the IBM PCjr in 1984 and later for several other systems between 1984 and 1989. The game was originally titled King's Quest; the subtitle was added to the games box art in the 1987 re-release, but did not appear in the game.

It is the first official part of the long King's Quest series (not counting 1980's Wizard and the Princess), in which a young knight, Sir Graham, must save the Kingdom of Daventry to become the king. Designed by Roberta Williams, the game was revolutionary and highly influential in the evolution of the graphic adventure game genre by introducing more detailed graphics and animation.

An official remake titled King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown was released in 1990. An unofficial remake was released by Tierra Entertainment in 2001.
