I’ve had a fair amount of #fun with Luanti (Minetest). It’s an open source game similar to Minecraft. The only downside is if you are expecting a nearly 1:1 recreation of Minecraft with the same features you’ll have to do a bit of modding.

That said the game has a really rich modding scene and from what I can recall the modding process was quite easy.

You don’t think they could take down one?

Why is that?

I mean the kid in the sixth movie lit someone on fire and hit someone in the head with a pool ball. I feel like there’s some competition.

Are there collections of that or would I be doing what I am now and checking individual files?

Searching aspect ratio and 4:3 doesn’t seem to pull up much

I think that may not be on them. I think it would be a matter of tweaking the FFmpeg core in RetroArch but I don’t know if it has live video cropping as a feature especially when within the confines of RetroArch. Scaling? Maybe but that’s not really what I’m after.

Searching online I am getting either command line options or unrelated results about CRT gaming.

XXL pajamas. I’m a medium bordering on small so I was swimming in them.

I think I also got a video game for a console I didn’t have but the gesture was nice.

An RG35XXSP. Basically an emulator in the style of a GBA SP. I’ve had other handheld emulators before but I like the style of this one with KNULLI.

I got my partner one for Christmas as well. I’m hoping to setup netplay so we can play a couple games together

Candy cane sounding

• Amiga, or retro-computing in general. Not just for gaming. There’s something deeply inspiring about browsing the web or creating spreadsheets with entirely different hardware and software. Hoping to get an Alpha CPU and/ or an Atari soon.

Kind of similar but obscure operating systems in general are things I’m a big fan of like TempleOS, HaikuOS, AROS, and MorphOS. OSs that are more than odd Linux distros.

Something about the ARM architecture also seems really neat to me.

Do you have any neat videos or YouTubers that cover Amiga content?

I hadn’t thought about fandom’s based around people rather than properties (ex. Movie/game series). I imagine a lot of people feel that way about late Rooster Teeth.

To me it means a wave of seasonal content and not much else. I’ll watch Christmas movies and shows but I don’t have the space or time to go all out with Christmas just for me to enjoy

For those interested Neocities is a modern equivalent. The homepage has some featured pages linked you can browse if you are looking to kill time.

I also wouldn’t say it’s sketchy. It’s just the overall political leaning of a lot of Lemmy is relatively left leaning and having those measures in place kind of demonstrates the vibe the instance is trying to create.

The level of censorship is going to be different depending on your instance and where you are posting to. A lot of instances are managed by individuals or small teams out of passion. They can do as they please and don’t have to pander to everyone for commercial appeal like Reddit or Tumblr. If someone doesn’t like what they’re doing they can join a different instance or create their own.

Instances can defederate from each other over these differences. A lot are defederated from the instance Exploding Heads because of their alt right content for example. From what I understand you can also report content to the administrators of your instance if it goes against their rules and I think they can remove it from appearing on your instance (or block the user that posted it). This isn’t going to stop it from appearing elsewhere.

Hell yeah. I tried to train one to feed me misinformation and encourage bad habits like drinking and driving and it was a lot more fun and lively than anything else I’ve seen

Yeah I feel like having control over the things you use is definitely a big part. Something that really hampers my enthusiasm for AI is that so much of it is out of my control and generally disconnected from me.

Having AI that I can modify and run locally on my devices seems a lot more sci-fi than something that can relies so heavily on the Internet and rigid responses.

I find it’s a lot of those ideal use cases I find futuristic. The RISC V architecture and Briar are kind of similar. They’re really neat and I could see some cyberpunk style uses for them but the drive for their adoption and the level of it just doesn’t seem to be there yet.

I feel like that really depends on how you view futuristic.

I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).
