That’s a really cute goat.

The weird thing is, the original version of it wasn’t AI lol

I’m pretty sure this is an AI-enhanced or AI-created version of an image, since the original image existed long before AI/LLMs did.

It’s a shame, I wanted to like KBin because it’s PHP and I specialize in PHP (also JS and Java), but the maintainer just made sure that it wasn’t sustainable.

It will be interesting to see which one wins out, like how Lemmy won out vs kbin/mbin, since kbin never accepted any outside help and stopped contributing. Not really putting the open in open-source that way, IMO.

Yes, but, what if it had even more cables?

I laughed way too hard at this lmao

A year before they start serving ads then a year later to the month they start serving ads. Either that’s a lucky guess which happens or he’s got insider info lol

Wow, you don’t have a single person agreeing with you, that’s really impressive.

I mean, they are located in Japan, so it’s not like Yakuza don’t exist (though to be fair Yakuza don’t really target foreigners).

How do we break the habit?

There are dozens of us!

Damn, that’s crazy. Here I am being happy that I have their older consoles that I’m still playing their best older games, even with modding them and using flashcarts too etc. I guess retro gamers are a bit of a dying breed, but there’s still some people out there like me.

The weird thing is, corporations can’t even make any money from these older games. I guess they think that means people who can’t play older games will just buy their newer garbage, and yet that’s not how it works at all lol people just end up buying indie games instead these days.

Is the source code for HG/SS the latest or is it from an earlier build?

No other company aggressively goes after its fans quite like Nintendo does. Nintendo have not only gone after fan projects made by fans showing their love for their beloved games, but also gone after community-run tournaments that in no way affect Nintendo, etc. Nintendo are pretty awful.

Gen 4 was peak IMO, both the new Pokemon were excellent as well as the best remakes ever made. Gen 4 has Platinum and HeartGold SoulSilver which are the best games in the series.

That has to be a real wake up call to Nintendo.

That’s optimistic thinking. Nintendo doesn’t learn, they just bulldoze.

They really, really, really, really earned it.

I think it is fair. When you buy games through GOG, you get the offline installer. Nobody can take that away from you.

When you buy games through Steam, you can only install them via the Steam client. If the Steam servers are offline, you cannot install your games. In theory, some games are without any DRM, and you can just zip them up, but even then that doesn’t always work, and you shouldn’t have to. That’s not to take away from Steam, of course, it is great at what it does.

Providing an offline installer that works no matter what is as good as “owning” the game IMO, even if “technically” you are just purchasing a license to use the game.
