A super cool guy!

A remake of the 2010 PSP game? Yeah sounds great!

Please keep working on it, thank you for your effort.

it requires removing parts from an original Super Game Boy cartridge and attaching them to the new board.

I am in awe of the deep technical knowledge in the retro community. I just emulate things and am satisfied. Some take it to new heights, seemingly just because they can.

I think https://masto.host/ offers what you want, you can pay to host mastodon. I haven’t seen the same for Lemmy.

It's gotta be Jeremy Parish and his many videos. just super informative.

Shinden also works on image recognition, so this sounds fine, but I need to read more. Light gun games were some of my favorite in the Arcades, I'll buy this or something like it.

Excellent quality of life feature!

There's so many providers, and they don't always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won't be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.

Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!

Does anyone know what the AI actually does?

I'm assuming it's based on image recognition like the Shinden gun. It's a branch of AI different from the LLM systems that power things like ChatGPT.

Honestly, the fact that the article writer is shilling an AI product without actually explaining what the AI does is kinda making me doubt their journalistic integrity.

Ha ha hell yes, retro dodo is garbage, they are a site that posts whatever silly thoughts they happen to have about old video games. This kind of announcement about upcoming release is about the best they are good for, and you still have to read through the filler to see that they don't know anything more than the Japanese Twitter post that actually announces the thing.

This is the situation that the video game history foundation made their famous study, to have as ammunition for their debate in favor for libraries and research and historians. What a sad ending, I hope they find another way in the future.

I am still confused how to understand the results about programming language. Desired vs Admired? One means you use it, one means you want to?

Hey pick something light and easy to make progress on, no grinding RPGs please!

RPGshrines is one I've used, I like this one for Aria of Sorrow here https://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gba/cvaos/walkthrough.shtml

You're the admin of Lemmy.World? Thanks for hosting this place. What got you into self-hosting?

I don't think I've ever seen a Nuon. That's cool as hell and retro as hell to put a Net Yaroze game on it, wow!

subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps

I think it's a "pick your battle" kind of thing. People don't want to spend a large amount of timing fighting about a website. The fight is worth different amounts to different people. Those who set their subreddit to private did their part to voice their disagreement. People know that they can't really control Reddit. Either people will go back to it, or they will move on to something else like Lemmy or the other options. I won't get mad at those who re-open their subreddits, there is more to Reddit than it killing the 3rd party apps. I'll stay here at Lemmy and contribute to it so it's a good option for others, I hope more will join us here, but let's not hate people for their choice of website or how dedicated they are to online protests.

I like roguelike games, I'll check this out when I can. What platforms does it run on?

Scala is the the first I used and I like it a lot. If I had more time I'd love to give ocaml a decent try but I don't think I can get into it these days.

The Cavern Of Cobol is an active place at the Something Awful forums, I've found it a great resource.

From the comments, the poll is not well done.

Tildes? Got any pointers to that one?

It's a pretty lame situation. I used to have a big collection, but I sold 95% at the beginning of the pandemic when I realized I just don't play them. I'm more likely to emulate, even stuff that I own. Game collecting is different from game playing and it's almost like a separate hobby with a lot of overlap. It's a bummer for people who want to have a cool thing and can't have it.

Thanks for the summary, I haven't heard of it. Sounds similar to kanboard, I'll check it out.

OpenAPI is pretty great. At my last job, we had a code generator to build part of the backend based on OpenAPI spec file, so we always knew the spec was accurate, couldn't have routes or parameters that weren't in the spec.

OpenAPI has been around for donkeys years

Lol wut

Thanks, this is helpful. Got any links to the Japanese review you read? Sounds way more useful than retrododo.com article.

I didn't see the diff command last time, thanks for that. It still feels like a miss for fossil to host a web view and forum but not a pull request-like section.

Do emulators support fx-3?

I've been meaning to play the original, I'm a big fan of disgaea.

Execute program is another online learning tool that teaches SQL. I have used it for typescript lessons and like it a lot.

Raiden 2 was my most played shmup in the local arcade for me, the rest in thy series never drew me in the same way.

Yep, I love his energy and positive attitude. Feels like he slowed down on releasing videos

Co-recursive is excellent, I enjoy it a lot

Ah, I'm not on Twitter so haven't heard that. But he had a big video about changing patreon & trying to be more productive! Well, I hope they come back strong when they are ready, very good quality stuff from the SSFF crew.

I remember playing around with this, never went deep with it but appreciate the project. I really wish more languages had alternative syntax options like this. I'll give Hy another shot this weekend.

Some issues I've seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I've been playing with it.

  1. I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don't, so perhaps there is a long delay?)

  2. I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I'm logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the "post" button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.

  3. when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn't a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it's tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it's clear that the "post" originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.

  4. When I make a post, it's got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.

  5. I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.

You think it won't work? Because it is "AI"?

Yep, the simpler the pitch, the better. Lemmy gets caught up in the tech chat because federation is a cool technical detail, but casual people just want a community. Let them learn about the tech after they are set up with an account and place to interact with others.

I think it's cool they are using myBB, I'm a big fan for that style of community.

Jeremy Parish has a whole video series about the system if, like me, you never heard of it: https://jeremy-parish-fanclub.neocities.org/video_series/segaiden

I'm not much of an 8-bit gamer but it's cool to hear about these early consoles. The general narrative is that the Famicom ruled in Japan, but it had some competition and it's interesting to see what other companies released.

Metroid: Zero Mission is my favorite these days since I recently beat it for the first time. Now I jump into it every few days and enjoy just running around and attacking and bombing and stuff.
