  • Chu chu rocket with functional online multiplayer

  • In case this was asked in earnest, yes- it happens all the time. Nintendo releases have been notoriously leaky for about 3 years now

  • My preferred 3D viewing method is in VR because you get full side-by-side 3d (1920x1080 resolution video per eye) and AFAIK this isn't supported on most screens/projectors. You have to build/acquire f-sbs videos yourself (I've made most of my own and while the actual process is easy there is learning involved), but it's greatly bolstered my affinity towards 3D content.

    Avatar 2 is, unsurprisingly, the most technically impressive fsbs content I've watched, but I've enjoyed most of the 3D movies I've watched this way.

  • Have you ever read a post on a tankie instance?

  • There's going to come a day where China releases some statement along the lines of "The United States continues to agitate against our development, but at what cost?" and it's going to be the happiest day of my life.

  • Is Longvinter still available?

  • Wildest plan I've ever seen respect to the instance operators

  • I haven't used it since the 1.16.5 days but it worked perfectly fine for vanilla back then and I'm sure it probably does now too.

    If you have more questions after you read a bit more about it feel free to drop them here.

  • If you/the kids are playing vanilla look into Geyser as it allows Bedrock and Java players to play on the same server.

  • Actions are more important than words. The U.S. is going out of its way to expedite the artillery needed to continue Israel's indiscriminate bombing of civillians in its ongoing genocidal campaign against Palestinians.

    Please I am begging you do not take these organizations at face value- read what the poster above you sent and recognize the distance between the statement "You need to comply with international law more closely" and the action: here is a way for us to get you bombs for you to use more quickly.

    If on one hand part of the state apparatus is signaling for "restraint" but the state is accelerating its ability to provide weapons that its calling for restraint in use of the actual stance is clear: what you're doing is fine by the state.

  • If it's early release it's a warehouse leak most likely that then gets dumped from a modded console (xci format). Some users convert xci to nsp for reasons unknown to me. Might be that switch cartridges have extra padding at the beginning/end that can be stripped to reduce file size.

    Otherwise it's just a standard dump from a modded console in either eShop (nsp) or physical (xci) format

  • As someone who used to write extensive notes in the margins of books digital notetaking has forever replaced physical books for me.

    E-ink all the way

  • Permanently Deleted

  • A couple of options worth knowing about since I don't know/own the games:

    1. A DRM free version looks like it's available at GOG. This is probably the simplest solution to not have to worry about any potential issues
    2. People seem to be reporting that the Steam version can be launched directly from the executable bypassing the launcher. If there is a Steamworks DRM check you could always use Goldberg's steam emulator to get around that for fully offline play.
  • This is truly the death of the marketplace of ideas

  • "Let's talk about the current genocide the CCP is carrying out"

    "Here's a source from western-aligned organizations disputing this"

    "I'm not reading this"

    Liberalism in a nutshell

  • I say at the end that we'd probably immediately use those powers to revert back to better working conditions (WFH).

    I can't see any scenario where this doesn't happen immediately and was mostly just riffing at the absurdity of thinking companies would implement these things (outside of maybe free lunches) in order to empower labor (to the company's shareholders' detriment) willingly.

  • Some things that would make me consider it:

    • Free high quality lunches every day
    • Transportation compensation in the form of both work time (if the office is poorly located) and monetary compensation for transportation expenses
    • Management improvement plan with actions they're taking/implementing to reduce the time they're wasting of laborers on a day-to-day basis
    • Alteration of the company structure to force a large percentage (simple majority) of ownership to workers to push back against reactionary and profit-driven anti-labor whims of shareholders
    • Services/compensation that complete tasks that previously I could do during downtime at home
    • Yearly inflation-pegged CoL raises that apply to every laborer in the company before salary raises are made
    • Massive investment in in-office employee training programs in the form of role-based training that is chosen by laborers in that particular role/function

    If every single one of these things were implemented I would then still probably leave the place for another WFH job if we didn't use our new ownership powers to revert back to WFH immediately.

    Emulation Information Megathread

    Here are some educational resources/explanations for the games community about emulation and other game-related tools.

    Emulation Wiki

    [Emulation as a field]

    Emulation is the process of re-implementing the functionality of something (hardware and/or software) in a separate software environment. You're probably most most familiar in the term as it relates to game system emulation- like the Dolphin Wii and Gamecube emulator, but it's actually much broader than that.

    While emulation does cover physical systems, it can also cover things that strictly exist as software. If you've ever played on WoW or any other MMO private servers, the actual underlying software that was being run
