Thank you! Was just about to ask if there were any suggestions for someone who had never played the original.

This may not work out the way I want it to, but I’m actually a little excited about these tech companies making a bunch of anti-consumer decisions all at once. So many mainstream users will be looking for alternatives, and it’s going to provide a great opportunity for non-profit open source projects. It’s already happening with the fediverse suddenly becoming a viable place for discussion in the last 1.5 years. After Windows Recall was announced, I’ve seen more people talking about switching to Linux than ever before. Part of me can’t wait for unskippable Youtube ads.
I think the the previous post was sarcasm. :)
A homemade RISC-V fightstick? This is combining all of my favorite things! I bought a leverless controller recently (an SGF Bridget).
I’m only vaguely familiar with microcontrollers, but I know there are libraries out there for using an Arduino to make a mechanical keyboard or fightstick. Is there something similar for the CH32V305?
That is very cool, I hadn’t heard of that before. I have never done anything with a microcontroller, but I’m thinking about it for RISC-V. It sounds like that might be one of the better ways of getting a RISC-V device in practical use, until more software packages become available for a full Linux machine.
Wow, thanks! That’s fantastic. I hadn’t even thought about the fact that Docker images will have to be recreated for RISC-V, but it sounds like some of the most important parts of the stack are useable already. Nice to see that nginx works – I was leaning towards moving my blog to a RISC-V SBC, and it’s just a static HTML site.
That looks so cool. I was completely unaware that there were desktop motherboards with RISC-V CPUs. I thought they were all still SBCs.
The original video already had a bunch of quotes (like that one) that have lived in my head for years. This remake just added, “Mum pisses in jars!” to the list. :D
Similar story for me, too. I’m not in the game industry, but Morrowind is the game that made me realize how great a game could be. It got me really into gaming, which made me want to be a game developer. I ended up not becoming a game developer, but that’s what got me on the path of learning to code, so it certainly affected my life.
I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings so that I could play Morrowind for a bit before my parents woke up. A friend and I would take turns playing as our different characters after school. Before that I had played Sonic the Hedgehog, Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem – and those were fun – but Morrowind put you inside of a story, a really good story, that took place in a world that felt completely real.
While it’s too bad to see that The Elder Scrolls 6 likely won’t deliver that same kind of experience, I’m sure games like Baldur’s Gate 3 are filling that role for kids today. There are still people making inspirational virtual worlds, and players are still being changed by them.
Every time I hear about this problem, I get that one part from the song Love Shack stuck in my head.
🎵 Your what?!?!
TEEEEEEEEEEES-LAAA!
…rusted
Love shack,
Baby love shack 🎵
It does look cool! I’m worried about that too, though. I would only be buying it for the “snap it shut” action, and it’s more expensive than any other phone I’ve owned. The original Razr was premium for it’s time, but that was when “premium phone” meant $300.
My last phone before getting a smart phone as a Motorola Razr, and man that one was so satisfying.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen them ask for donations as visibly as Wikipedia does. Sometimes there’s a small banner at the top of their website with a donate button. Currently, if you go to https://mozilla.org and scroll all the way down, there’s a “Donate” link in their footer.
Seems like they’re always kind of subtle about asking for donations – I wonder if they think that if they pushed for donations harder, it would just make more people use Chrome. (On the other hand, there is no real alternative to Wikipedia, so they can do the big banner once a year.)
Always sucks to have more tech layoffs.
The article mentions they’re “decreasing their investment” in Firefox Relay, which is a service for creating burner email addresses that get forwarded to your real email address. It’s honestly the best spam-prevention method I’ve ever used. If Mozilla decides to axe that project, I hope the Thunderbird team can somehow pick it up. Seems like it could be an opportunity for some recurring income for them.
23andMe was always a product with a very small upside and absolutely massive downside. Best case scenario, it’s a neat little thing to learn about yourself. Worst case scenario, it’s a massive opportunity for discrimination and blackmail.
Completely unrelated: for some reason, on kbin, the thumbnail for this article is the thumbnail for this youtube video, and that is a cooler thing than 23andMe by far.
I read that as “surrendered to the authorities” and I thought WOW there must have been some Billy Mitchell developments that I was not aware of.
Microsoft’s initial departure from Microsoft-brand peripherals meant it would only focus on more expensive, higher-end designs worthy of Surface branding.
They’re saying this like we didn’t all just read an article about the official Xbox toaster yesterday…
I’m sorry I have nothing helpful to add, other than congratulating you on the achievement of filling up a Gmail account. That is impressive.
Google should send out awards for that. Like, if you get a Youtube play button for having 1 million subscribers, they should give you some kind of “I’ll get to it later” button for having 1 million unread emails in your inbox.
Yeah, this is perfectly consistent with the idea that people don’t want to read AI generated news at all.
The title of the paper they are referencing is Or they could just not use it?: The paradox of AI disclosure for audience trust in news. So the source material definitely acknowledges that. And that is a great title, haha.
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but Neon White is one of my favorite games of the last few years, and it’s on the Switch. I played on PC, but I haven’t seen any complaints about the Switch version.
I don’t really know if I’d call if a first person shooter. It’s more like a first person platformer and you have to shoot some targets before completing the level. Levels are very, very short, and you’ll replay them many times to shave a fraction of a second off of your time.
