I mean some of the games were just good for their time. But then there are games like Spyro the Dragon, Ocarina of Time, Half Life, Banjo Kazooie and GameBoy Camera that hold up still as some of the best games in their genre ever. Sonic Adventure has basically never been topped by a game in its franchise since. (At least as far as 3D action games in the sonic series are concerned)
Where the Freeman is Half-Life?
Edit: 2nd row, my app was cutting off the top and bottom of the image oops
ChatGPT might be, which is the point.
I’d actually consider Lemmy’s freedom of speech to be very similar to the US. Nobody on the network can limit your speech in your own instance but nobody has to platform your terrible speech and everyone is free to ignore your speech and exclude you to just participating on your own instance.
Wasn’t expecting to see biblical wisdom on the fediverse today
Nice tape collection
Online gaming wise Call of Duty: United Offensive (2004)
As for single player gaming, donkey Kong Land 1 for gameboy is the oldest game I’m actively playing. I have various NES launch games in my collection, those would be the oldest games in my collection that I have played.
What are you doing step-bro site?
Since when has vibe coding ever been done by some one like that and not the nepo baby son of the CFo who is good at computer
Roblox is one of the most evil companies in the world, actively exploiting children for profit and for cheap labor. A joke for safety guardrails (you can’t even restrict your child from adding anyone as a friend or restrict them from receiving friend requests from total strangers, all you can do is block them after the fact). They allow children to create accounts with no email or verification so that they can get around parental controls and engage with predators if they are motivated and resourceful
Evidence of predators abusing children on their app and their response is to silence the people shining the light on it.
There may be good things that come from Roblox but it’s ran by some of the most despicable people and is a net negative in the world in my opinion
It seems like a lot of instances are purging old posts. Which makes sense as the operators are paying to store them and it isn’t cheap to continually add storage for rarely accessed content. I don’t know a real good way around it other than just having the bigger instances that are willing to archive everything just not respect deletion requests which I don’t think is ideal either.
Ultimately I think it’s probably best to consider these posts ephemeral. And using a clipping service to store information we want to retain on our own hard drives. It will prevent Lenny from being used as a knowledge repository but I don’t know how else you can make it cost effective otherwise. It’s not like Lemmy is making anyone money
I use privacy bee. It’s way more expensive than the others but it’s US owned, based, and doesn’t advertise on YouTube or have ties to the same data brokers it claims to protect you from
Gooner AI
My CRT doesn’t have a SCART input but it does have S-Video. I have a scart to S video adapter that I run to the CRT that looks great. I’d run it to a retrotink 5x/4k if you wanted to play on a widescreen flat panel. It looks great but it’s pricey
The trick is too just play the 20 year old game online still instead of moving on to the newer shooters. Everyone still playing is 30+ and have diminished reaction time as well so you still have a shot lol.
Interesting perspective. Can’t tell if that makes you a fan of the last Jedi or have a low opinion of Star Wars in general.
In the near decade since TLJ premiered I’ve litigated my problems with it countless times but it’s probably the best movie in the sequel trilogy. Personally I’d rank The Force Awakens as the better Star Wars movie. Despite it being a basic rehash of the high points of various parts of ANH and the saga, it at least wasn’t a tonal miss like TLJ or a series killing stinker like Rise of Skywalker.
My rankings go ESB > RotJ > RotS > ANH > TPM > TFA > AotC > TLJ > RoS
Yeah you can definitely bully AI into giving you some thing that will run if you yell at it long enough. I don’t have that kind of patience
Edit: typically I see it just silently dump errors to /dev/null if you complain about it not working lol
AI can help you be more agile in getting out a PoC but vibe coding always ends up eating itself and you either aren’t capable enough to fix it (because you are a vibe coder) or you spend more time on the back 9, trying to clean up the code so you don’t have so many hacks and redundancy because the AI was too literal or hallucinated fake libraries that return null or its context window expired and it wrote 5 different versions of the same function
I was going to say. The code won’t compile but it will be “finished “
Games, like movies and TV, have become so expensive to make because studios and publishers have consolidated so much that they can’t keep the machine running with modest budgets to make modest profits. They have to slop together content with the lowest effort to extract the highest revenue from microtransactions and season passes because every game has to be a Call of Duty/Fortnite/Pokemon level hit or the studio is shuttered by the publisher.
Great games are still being made, just like great movies that aren’t remake or superhero slop are being made. Just not from big money but independent studios instead.
