I quite enjoy using it. Stays out of the way, boots instantly, is very plain looking.

A Fallout 2 3D remake is being worked on by a fan in c/fallout@lemmy.world
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 2 points 3 months ago

It will focus on total conversions of the main games. So Miami, Frontier, that mod that's set in Oregon, the Russian one for Fallout 2 (can't remember the name ATM), London, the Van Buren Remake, etc. I've never heard of Fallout 3 in OpenMW but I'll be including that now. That sounds neat.

Problem is I made this list awhile ago and never checked if the projects were active or not. I'll be checking that. But its gonna be anything I've seen that I though looked cool, no matter inactivity or how early in development.

I'll even throw in a mention of similar games like Ashes 2063.

Ah sure, why not. I already have the excel sheet done. I'll throw something together.

I have a list going. There's about 15 major fallout fangame projects right now. I've considered writing an article because there's so many. Hell Fallout: Vault 13 is another one that got some buzz about 2 weeks ago.

Why would he even go? It's like Biden speaking at the green covention. Those people already hate the 2 parties. They aren't gonna go back.

Penkesu is a handheld PC that you can build yourself. (penkesu.computer)
 

I've always been fascinated by these small computers. GPD makes these kinds of devices too. Ordered one once but I never got it. Been thinking of building one myself though I'm worried it would be too small to enjoyable use. I would definitely write on it, that I am sure of.

Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 1 points 4 months ago

Last time I tried it there was no view library like Winamp. Nope. At that point just use VLC or MPV.

Winamp is going open source in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 17 points 4 months ago

Very excited by this. Hopefully they go all the way and GPL it. There hasn't been any mp3 player I've enjoyed using as much as Winamp.

Anyone know any games similar to the Spyro GBA ones? Isometric collectathons? I need more like this. (media.kbin.social)

I wrote an article about the 3 games and just how good they are. Imo, they're extremely underrated. I really wanna play more games similar to it but I can't find much in the way of isometric collectathons(?) at all. Looking for any suggestions. Apologies if this isn't the right spot. GBA is retro right?

Imo, the 3 games are extremely underrated in the Spyro series and feel like completely different games.

Here's the article. It explains more specifically what I mean by these games.

I know there's the main Spyro games but I'm looking for 2D ones, basically the same deal as the Season games.

A discord client is now available for Windows XP and 2000. Now you can re-live those IRC days...sort of. (github.com)
 

Well discord isn't completely comparable to IRC but the look of that client sure is!

Anyone know any other games similar to the Oracle ones? Already have a few (Anodyne, Lenna's Inception), looking for more. (kbin.social)
 

The Zelda games on the Game Boy and Colour are unique within the Zelda series as a whole. Strange plots, enemies, music, mystery and even gameplay plague the three games. Hell, in Link's Awakening half the enemies are straight up from Super Mario Bros. And the oracle games come with novels and feature interconnected password systems, animal companions (who vary depending on your own actions) and areas unique in any other Zelda games (Subrosia). It's almost as if these 3 games exist in a void unto itself.

I recently watched a playthrough of the Unreal remake of Link's Awakening. Those plus the Oracle games are imo, some of my favourite Zelda games. Anyone know any games similar? I alreayd know of and love Lenna's Inception and Anodyne but I want more. I wrote an article about Link's Awakening and what I call Lozgbc games with a few more listed. Anyone know any other ones I could add?

Nintendo launches lawsuit against the devs of the Switch emulator, Yuzu. (www.theverge.com)
 

Nintendo claims that Yuzu actively assisted in piracy of Tears of the Kingdom. They say that Yuzu violates Nintendo's copyright by decrypting their games to run.

They also claim that "Nintendo also has technological measures on the Nintendo Switch console itself, including additional layers of encryption, which prevent users from unlawfully accessing or modifying the console—including to procure the prod.keys—and from accessing or copying games stored on the console or on a cartridge inserted in the console." - From the actual lawsuit which you can read here: https://www.scribd.com/document/709016504/Nintendo-of-America-Inc-v-Tropic-Haze-LLC-1-24-Cv-00082-No-1-D-R-I-Feb-26-2024

Nintendo claims that Yuzu spoiled Tears of the Kingdom for everyone (not listed as a damage in the lawsuit this is just something they've added on).

This lawsuit bears similarities to the Bleem v. Sony though I'll let you draw your own conclusion if this is comparable.

Programmer Skyfloogle, has released Red Viper, an updated virtual-boy emulator for the 3DS. (github.com)
 

From the github description: "A Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS continuing mrdanielps's work on r3Ddragon, which is itself based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon. It uses a dynamic recompiler with busywait detection and a hardware-accelerated renderer to achieve high performance on the 3DS's limited hardware."

Commaful, a website specializing in short fiction will shut down on February 24, 2024. Read while you can! (commaful.notion.site)
 

Here is the complete announcement: https://commaful.notion.site/commaful/A-Heartfelt-Goodbye-and-a-New-Beginning-at-Commaful-a31080180fa647f5ad69eac89fa6b532

Commaful is a website where you could post short (really short) stories to with pictures. I've used it in the past to post my lyrics to my music but otherwise didn't really interact with it. Aside from poetry and short stories the website also contains a ton of shortform fanfiction.

I'm assuming a full backup wouldn't be that big (it's literally just text and some images + a lot of people using the same stock images). I just downloaded all my stories and it came to about 9mb (against 20 or so stories).

Finished 3-South the other day. Pretty good. Wasn't expecting much but it managed to be charming in it's own way. Felt it ended perfectly as it did. Not interested in a reboot or revival. Lord knows i (media.kbin.social)
 

Finished 3-South the other day. Pretty good. Wasn't expecting much but it managed to be charming in it's own way. Felt it ended perfectly as it did. Not interested in a reboot or revival. Lord knows it would be impossible. My headcanon is that Joe begrudgingly accepts Sanford and Del or at least better understands how to be 'king of the idiots' and takes over Barder. (assuming nobody died in the final episode)

Hope they eventually release the final 3 episodes in better quality. Made it hard to watch them.

Gonna probably watch Gary & Mike or Home Movies next.

Anyone else seen 3-South? Or enjoyed that era of adult cartoons?
