- Comment on What genre is Towerfall Ascension, and do you have any favorite examples? 1 week ago:
A single-screen, platformer, battler/brawler.
Similar one would be
Jump’n’Bump - Cute battle-royale, jump on oponents heads to be last bunny standing.
[Jump’n’Bump for download] (github.com/midzer/jumpnbump) (GPLv2)
Or a multi-screen battler:
Teeworlds - Grappling hook, platformer shooter. (zlib)
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 week ago:
Turns out his is a fine shitpost.
Posting a saturated picture that is only a black and blue dress, rather than the orig picture.
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 week ago:
That is what I am seeing now too, same as the first time I saw this.
However, when it got posted to Lemmy ~7months ago I could switch it between colours.
I posted then, about how to do it. Something like defocussing your eyes, and then looking at the sunny part on the right-side, to switch to white&gold.

Layoff the AI already :P
- Comment on I’ve spent many hours walking down memory lane with the Commodore 64 Ultimate, and it’s wondrous if sometimes intimidating 3 weeks ago:
He seems a solid character, doing it for the right reasons.
I’ve been tossing up getting an Amiga since '91, only playing intensively on a friends one through the early 90s.
I would totally get an A500 Ultimate, then play about a week straight of North and South.
- Comment on My mom really love NBC Good News tonight. How come there isn't a show where they report on the good news of the day instead of all the bad crap all the time? 3 weeks ago:
And the link for Sam Bentley Good News

Best news of the week!
Thank you =D

O M G, perfect homage.
Now do the A500

- Comment on A stolen Gemini API key turned a $180 bill into $82,000 in two days 3 weeks ago:
‘Turned $180 billion into $82,000 in two days’
Wait, I thought this story was about Google AI, not OpenAI.

And for Australia 50,000 is old data. The current timeline is 60-70,000 years of human habitation.
- Comment on Dude, Where Is My Beer? is not as fun as it sounds 5 weeks ago:
The puzzles are early-90s hard/obtuse in some parts to give it longevity of playtime.
SPOILERS below
I did not make it through the whole game without consulting the Walkthrough FAQ or playthrough video a few times.

And if you need a point-and-click chaser that tastes good; Beneath a Steel Sky(on SCUMMVM) is excellent on all metrics.
- Comment on Amazon service was taken down by AI coding bot 5 weeks ago:
‘Eat your own dog food’, but the dog food is cooked chicken bones.
- Comment on What are some out-of-the-box ideas you've heard of? 5 weeks ago:
NeutriNote.
It’s only lacking a settable template for new note titles. Something like ‘Note - %d’ to set the current date and time in a new note title would be excellent.
- Comment on What are some out-of-the-box ideas you've heard of? 5 weeks ago:
Software to remotely control wall-mount airconditioners(sometimes called reverse-cycle AC, or a heat-pump).
Making some modular units that use off-the-shelf components, that can send the correct IR codes to run an AC at predetermined times. Maybe a wifi connection so it can accept remote commands or relay state info about current room temps etc.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 5 weeks ago:
Things change, and full DRM would hasten that change. YT is a platform, they don’t own the content.

This… kills the site.
(Would see Vimeo or similar take over in about 5 months)
- Comment on Old Bureau of Meteorology website still getting thousands of clicks 1 month ago:
On the new site, the 7-day forecast has each day initially folded up, to see the data you need to click on the 'V’or ‘Expand all’.
The indentations on the old site make it easier to differentiate the days too.
- Comment on Old Bureau of Meteorology website still getting thousands of clicks 1 month ago:
Holy shit!
You can still use the old site, excellent, thanks.
Also, please use the new site every so often, BoM are requesting feedback about the UI. Let them know how you feel about dropdown content.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 1 month ago:
2 bandaids
A note(maybe laminated) saying:
“LOST wallet. Call 555-4678 for reward. Thanks <your name>”
Keep 50 bucks at home, for when someone shows up.

- Comment on Razer account “Human Verification” promotes World ID biometric verification 1 month ago:
MX Master 3 is the GOAT for productivity. Been testing it for 2 weeks now.
The 125Hz polling rate is a drag for fast gaming though (read up beforehand).
Get the Master 3S for silent mouse-clicks.
The Master 4 is reported to be a downgrade too.

- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 1 month ago:
Intermittent fasting, only eat from 10am-6pm.
Early morning exercise, 1hr of walking or cycling. Start 5am or 6am. Medium intensity.
Generally healthy meals. No calorie blowout days.
Plenty of water, minimal fizzy drinks. Soda water is OK.
For added benefit, afternoon HIIT.
Worked for me.
