Mmmm… I don’t mind the Retroarch version and use it on occasion, but this is great news. The 9x experimental support and the running from zip are great news and I’m curious if it’ll make it easier to use the eXoDOS packages more easily.

I’m also wondering if this will impact the planned RetroAchevements’ MSDOS release, since I think they were using Pure for that. I can’t imagine it being an easy feat as it is, but if there’s active work on this I imagine it might push that along a bit. I really am craving a couple of DOS and 9x titles, and good achievement sets really help me get the most out of a game.

A while ago. Only upside is they say they don’t keep your prompts or train models, but I have my doubts.

I’m with you on this, I think. It’s not the best spoon but I bet it’s got an eerie glow to it, and perhaps shines blue when in the presence of milk or something.

Oh that makes sense, the codes probably open source. Those goons probably have minimal experience actually developing an app from scratch.

Oh no this one I know is real, I just mean, imagine how incredibly unlikely a story it’d be if they joined Lemmy or a Piefed instance.

They don’t really fit bluesky either but it’s popular enough I can see them try, lol

Edit: or wait, did you mean Truth Social being federated? Cause that’d be Not the Onion material lol

Now we need a parody article telling us the Whitehouse started hosting a fediverse instance. For once I don’t think people would eat that onion, lol

First: cat glare.

Second: there is a hat inexplicably on the wall but the gentleman in the image still wears his hat. Hats are optional, I guess?

I wonder if it’s also because they’ve got healthier bodies or less stress or something. In any case, a wank a day keeps the doctor away?

This is the worst Weekend At Bernie’s sequel, and that includes the weird, racist voodoo one.

I’m playing through an old PS2 title Radiata Stories. I don’t get why this title is so overlooked! It’s really fucking funny to play in 2025 cause its weirdly apt with nepotism, classism and going to war over wage theft (kinda, anyway).

I don’t wanna spoil it though.

Oh cool, now let’s do Loss 2 with a bad ending to this one.

I didn’t mean to make any claim, lol, 5 seconds would be nothing and I’m trying to be funny in the vain it no O2 being not a big deal at 5 seconds.

We had an ozone crisis before, although it is serious if it’s something closer to an hour. People got sunburned in 15 minutes quite easily, though, and skin cancer is linked to it.

The atmosphere does block a lot of cosmic ray junk, but that’s a collective effort. I forget the details, but think very high frequency gamma rays. But that’s not ozone alone.

Jokes on you, it’s secret answer 3, all O3 (ozone) disappeared for five seconds and everyone got wicked sunburns as a result.

Well, maybe not a full sunburn. But you’d get mighty uncomfortable in the sun for those five seconds!

As did I. As did I. Lol

No, we ARE contrarians. Take that!

I went from full lurker to participant since I felt like I’m not completely drowned out by others. That made it more fun, since Lemmy all feed is pretty small relatively speaking and lurking gets boring if you’re expecting an endless feed of random junk. Plus, since it’s small, you can also feel like you’re contributing to the Lemmy community, since without your comments and posts, it won’t exist.

Although get to the bottom of the all feed and things get wild.

I saw this earlier today, since I get his newsletter. I think I mostly like the point that art is a little more than just the product. People do care how things are done, otherwise we wouldn’t enjoy process videos or art live streams.

He loses me a little on the “it takes work” part, since I’m more keen on people understanding that art is also expression and even if you have no idea what you’re doing, I respect people putting soul into things they make (even if it’s… Uh… Sonic mpreg or something… Ugh).

But, if you read his comic on creativity, he even admits he started off hating drawing because it was uncomfortable compared to his previous work in Web design, and made stuff using that odd method to express himself. I think he ultimately wants people to get a tablet and try it themselves, as he admits in that other comic that he grew to love drawing once he made the switch in 2012 and it was a mistake to stick to other tools he thought he had to use.

I think he kinda makes that point with his personal thinking on backgrounds. He doesn’t do them. Maybe AI can help there, maybe not, but there are also amazing background artists just as there are very good character artists you could, but likely wouldn’t afford, for your tabletop RPG. And those will be… acceptable as a visualisation, even if not quite a piece of inspired art.

Yeah, that tracks with what I see, at least. Either it’s used as an excuse for layoffs that likely would happen anyway given the market, or they’re just included in a workflow without firing (the US was already in bad shape after COVID, with tech companies already laying off people they over-hired during lockdown)

I’ve got a friend who pays under the table to a guy to write and edit instructional videos, and still does that since there’s never enough videos to produce for her project. Just, now, the guy uses AI in his workflow and… I’d say maybe produces at about the same pace (fact checking the AI takes time, lol).

But basically, AI didn’t replace her copy writer / editor, they just scaled up (or at least, attempted to, lol).

I however found it mildly interesting that Zohran Mamdani was making this part of the issues he’s messaging about for NYC, to at least drive down the price for locals. Free childcare, public owned groceries, sure, but FIFA tickets? Yet this graphic kinda puts that in perspective, so I get it.
