Yeah but they’re out

They know the way the wind is blowing on this issue, and they trade in public image nearly as much as they do in physical goods. This is a good look for them, and when it was clear they wouldn’t win, they’re happy to join the winning side.

It’s also not completely out of left field—they’ve been expanding access to previously-internal repair guides and even tools over the last few years.

I don’t believe for a minute that this person has truly tested every game they claim to have on that thing, much less optimized.

You can download clean ROM sets of just about everything on their list with essentially zero effort, and the difficulty of setting up emulators is super overblown most of the time, especially with options like EmuDeck becoming more mature.

That site also seems super-sketch, but that may just be the fact that English is clearly their second language, which isn’t a fair indicator of quality.

GBA really had an attractive cartridge design; just the molding itself. Nice proportions.

The owner was asked if an autism-awareness event could be held at his business. He accepted, in part because he has family members with autism. After the event has gotten rolling, he realizes it’s actually a campaign event for the GOP and tells the guy to fuck off.

Seems like they either deliberately went out of their way to hide what the event really was, or the business owner didn’t really bother to look up who was holding the event and put two-and-two together.

I love a happy ending 🥲

There’s a TikTok trend (I think?) of people drinking the “Grimace Birthday Shake” from McDonald’s and dying.

Nice

Yes and no. My daily scrolling habit has been moved to lemmy and I haven’t really felt any loss.

However, and this is a big caveat: Reddit remains a huge source of institutional knowledge. Half a dozen times weekly I’ll look something up and the most relevant answer/discussion will be from Reddit. As I understand it, lemmy will never fulfill this need, because it’s not scraped the same way Reddit is? Or perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the way federation works. If that’s true, it’s a huge blow to the long-term use of lemmy v. Reddit.

Not to mention it’s literally a “Choosy devs choose GIF” joke, aping “Choosy moms choose Jif”. Soft-g homies for jife.

Those names are taken from Iain M. Banks’ Culture sci-fi series.

Please @cuchilloc, let us know if this is it!

I suppose you pronounce jpeg as “j-fey-g” too, then, since the P stands for “Photographic”?

Or perhaps you argue that to doesn’t count since it’s on the P and not the Ph included in the acronym. In which case I guess we’re just abandoning all connection to the root words and we’re back to the fact that it’s okay to pronounce it “jif”.

Also the creator pronounces it jif because he was goofing on Jif peanut butter and wanted a “choosy devs choose GIF” joke. So I’m going with that.

Also it makes people mad and that’s funny.

Right, I may be totally misunderstanding the problem.

If it’s just that lemmy needs time and interaction from the community to build that knowledge, then great! No problem. But what I understood was that lemmy’s communities and conversations simply aren’t made accessible to wide-searching like that.

This isnt a bad start, at least.

Child sexual assault material

I thought they drank Parmalat up there in Canada.

I’ve had a 100% hitrate installing Fitgirl repacks using lutris with this method: aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWdWdWFiRWNrTU1BJmZlYXR1cmU9c2hhcmVi

It’s a good rule!

A couple of weeks ago my 4.5 yo casually leaned over during lunch, vomited on the floor, then went back to eating as if nothing happened.

I don’t expect to be able to answer your question, but can you provide any remembered details on the GameBoy JRPG? I’ll even take half-remembered ones. I love a good mystery!

Unbelievably fantastic content, please continue doing these!

Applies to tires also, and for the same reason.

Joke’s on them. I left Twitter months ago.

Man, Homeworld. My best friend and I spent countless hours with that.

I switched over because our company started using BW and the plan also gave every employee a voucher for a family plan wholly separate from the company plan. Been really happy with it.

At risk of doxxing yourself, can you expand on where you live? Just curious of the most general area. I love that law!

Ah, I see that now. Should have thought to scroll farther. You’re right, that’s a tough one!

Holy shit this community rules. I’m so happy for you! May it live up to all your memories.

Idle Thumbs and Important If True feeds both sit fallow in my Overcast. I refuse to delete them in perhaps misguided hopes that one day a seedling will spring anew.

Okay, sounds like I did misunderstand. I’m happy to be wrong, thanks for explaining!

Yeah, I think I did misconstrue the actual issue. SEO might not be as strong, but everything can be searched just as well. Great!

And yet, it didn’t appear when I tried that time. Seems hit and miss for me, or maybe one of the apps I’m bouncing between at the moment doesn’t have an Edit functionality yet. Thanks.

That should be “using”, not “husking”.

Played through the first game using Prime Hack on my Steam Deck a couple months ago, it felt great!
