I thought Kbin had the most potential, but even after it was reborn as Mbin it does feel like it's been largely forgotten. Interstellar's alright, but I'm not super in love with it and it doesn't look like anything else plans to support it.

Piefed has gotten all the attention now, and I keep eyeing it wondering if the grass is greener.

I'm never touching Lemmy thanks to its devs though.

If you treat privacy as all-or-nothing, "total privacy" would imply no one has any kind of information at all about you. The only way for no one to know who you are is to completely disconnect yourself from society.

Rather than thinking in terms of "total privacy", you should just aim to be as responsible as you can with what information you share with who, while recognizing that participating in society is itself a compromise you are already making. If your end goal isn't to completely hide from the world, then don't make yourself miserable trying to pursue that.

No we aren't, this price hike only affects Switch 1.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 6 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

The cheapest model of Steam Deck, LCD 256GB, starts at $400.

After this price hike, the Switch Lite starts at $230, and OLED maxes at $400.

This is not an unpopular opinion. Netflix and Crunchyroll have both confirmed that more viewers watch dubs than subs.

Not standing up to the so-called friend who stabbed me in the back.

New Katamari, hell yeah. Adventures of Elliot looks interesting as well.

  • Street Fighter II - Not the first fighting game, but the one that kicked off a massive cultural phenomenon, and defined so much of the format that every fighting game since has taken influence from.

  • Puyo Puyo Tsu - Although this game never got a chance to shine in the west, in Japan this game was just as influential to the puzzle game genre as Street Fighter II was to fighting games. I often describe Puyo 1 as the Street Fighter 1 of puzzle games, but I think you could make a case for whether 1 or Tsu really belongs in the museum, since 1 was plenty popular at release and did inspire other puzzlers even before Tsu hit the scene. However, Tsu is the game that really established puzzle games as a serious competitive genre, with large tournaments being held all the way back then.

  • Beatmania - The original vertical scrolling rhythm game. Could include either the original, one of the first editions of IIDX, or even a current cabinet.

  • Dance Dance Revolution - While Beatmania gets credit for being the first, and for being plenty popular in Japan, DDR is what popularized the genre in overseas markets. And for good reason, it's equally notable for not being played with typical inputs.

  • Rogue - The thing that a whole bunch of other games are like. Except now most of the games we say are like this, aren't really like this at all...

  • Like every major Nintendo game - fuck it not even gonna list them all

PCSX is a lot less accurate.

How does that analogy make any sense? No one has done anything malicious to him. He released open source software, got mad and revoked the open source license for newer versions, then got even more mad when people continued using the old open source version. Which is a problem he brought on himself. And his continued tantrums still won't keep distros from packaging the only version they even can package.

This is the dev that changed the license a while back from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND because they got mad about forks.

The kicker here is that the AUR package they're whining about here is based on the last GPL version.

 

Summary:

Many games see noticeable improvements, but how much of an improvement will vary. Games that are bottlenecked by GPU or memory bandwidth benefit significantly, whereas CPU-bound titles only see small improvements.

Arkham Knight, famously one of the Switch's worst ports, is now a playable 30fps. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is... playable but still not great, building as much as possible to stress test the hardware can drop to single digit framerates on Switch 1, that's now around ~20-22fps here. These are the two most demanding titles tested, which means that most everything else came out pretty good.

The obvious caveat here is that games cannot exceed hardcoded targets. Games with uncapped framerates and dynamic resolution will be able to take advantage, but capped framerates and fixed resolutions must remain so.

Every 100 years, the mysterious castle of Sudokuvania appears in the countryside. Legend has it that it contains the Secret of Sudoku. Gathering the last few given digits in the area, you solemnly approach the boxy fortress, determined to discover the secret and share it with your favorite people.

 

Can you love something and be viscerally disgusted by it at the same time? Doesn’t something have to break? City of the Wolves would likely not exist without the Public Investment Fund. SNK probably wouldn’t either, and I can’t blame anyone who developed this game for using this opportunity to make something they loved. But people like Ronaldo get thrown out of the fighting game community. Guys like Infiltration, a multiple-time EVO champion who was convicted of beating his wife, and TempestNYC, another EVO champion who couldn’t keep his hands to himself. The list goes on. This community is deeply queer, largely made up of people of color, and extremely protective of its grassroots origins and the people in it. Corporate, moneyed influence is something it — no, we — have always fought against because this community is ours. We built it. It’s not for sale. Every year, some of the greatest fighting game players in the world turn down the chance to compete at the Esports World Cup for life-changing money because it is funded by the Public Investment Fund and they do not feel safe, as queer people, in Saudi Arabia. I’m sure City of the Wolves will headline the next event in Riyadh next year, and more people will have to decide what they believe. At some point, you are who you choose to be.
