I think people are mostly saying D for India, China, Japan, and Korea. It also has Greece and Lebanon.

The Guinness! Makes everything else tolerable. (But also, shepherd’s pie is in there.)

Korea is doing a lot to keep C viable.
F is a secret top tier with Morocco and Argentina.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 19 hours ago:
H has poutine and lobster, A has France and Ireland. There are some top tiers in each of these divisions.

I had never thought about recording it on a VCR. That was interesting.
- Comment on A Less Corporate Net 1 week ago:
Good idea for a community, hope it will be active. IMO there are some non-corporate internet concepts that don't really fit into existing communities. There are already communities like !fediverse@lemmy.world and !smallweb@lemmy.ml but there are also non-corporate ideas that are unrelated to the fediverse or to small websites. For example, worker-owned news websites. It may be a big website, and it might not have fediverse support, but it's still a way of removing corporate influence from the internet.
- Comment on Rogue.site is a new worker-owned, reader-funded gaming site 2 weeks ago:
This has not been the case for aftermath.site nor 404media.co, two sites that got started pretty much the same way this new one has.
- Comment on A Brief History of Trapper Keepers. 3 weeks ago:
Haha, I remember the teachers' back-to-school letters always saying, "A plain three ring binder is all your child will need. Excessively large binders are only a distraction."
And then every kid shows up with the biggest, puffiest Trapper Keeper with all of these pockets and compartments and embossed shiny pictures of football players on them.
- Comment on A look at search engines with their own indexes 3 weeks ago:
Great list! I've been wanting to start using a smaller search engine with its own index, just for the sake of making sure there's an alternative to GBY. (Also, there's a new and useful acronym, haha.) Mojeek was the only one I was aware of before today.
BTW, exalead.com doesn't seem to be a search engine anymore. I recognized that one because I remember discovering it a while ago...in 2007, maybe? But it looks like it's not available as a regular search engine now.
- Comment on Web design magazine from 2000. New tech like… Flash 4! JavaScript! WAP! 3 weeks ago:
Thank you for doing this! Some of those sites have that "Windows Media Player skin" look to them that defined the early 2000s.
- Comment on A List of Open Source Game Clones 5 weeks ago:
Come to think of it, there are so many graphical enhancement mods for Morrowind, I'd bet that every asset has already been recreated by someone already. Not sure if they're all open source, though. There might already be something close to a libre reimplementation of Morrowind, except for rewriting the dialog and quest scripts. Which would be a lot. Ok, close-ish, maybe.
- Comment on A List of Open Source Game Clones 5 weeks ago:
Great resource, thanks! I played 0 A.D. for the first time recently, and was amazed by how polished it was.
Side note for anyone hoping that there is a free version of Morrowind: you still need to have Morrowind to play OpenMW. OpenMW is an open source (and improved) clone of the game's rendering engine, but you still need the game's content (models, textures, maps, etc.) from the original game.

Hadn't heard of this before, great idea!
- Comment on Castle Crashers: Painter Boss Paradise DLC Launch Trailer 1 month ago:
Has Castle Crashers been getting updates this whole time? Or is this an "out of nowhere" thing? Either way, great!
Also, between this and a new Super Meat Boy coming out, Newgrounds is having a moment right now.

I'm just going to start handing notes to people in my immediate vicinity, like an analog meshtastic. Or a middle schooler.
- Comment on We are mainstream now🔥 1 month ago:
That's the case for me. 404 was the first media outlet that was actively using the fediverse (Mastodon, specifically) to interact with their readers and share their content. At the same time, I realized that if I was going to start using non-VC-funded social media, I should probably pay for some non-VC-funded news sources, too.
Especially given 404's main subject matter, I bet there are a lot of discussions on the fediverse that are relevant to what 404 covers.

WELP, time to go find an even smaller discussion forum! This place really sold out...

Wow, thank you for this response. I hadn't thought of tracking music preferences as a tool for self discovery.

I've been thinking about setting up a scrobble server, but haven't been sure what I would do with it. What do you use the information for? Does it affect how you listen?
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 1 month ago:
Realized last week that my fail2ban settings are too strict -- I get banned immediately if I visit my funkwhale (music server) domain without being logged in. In fact, I think much of my "downtime" might have actually just been me banning myself for 15 minutes now and then...
I was thinking about getting rid of Grafana, which is overkill for my server, and replacing it with Logdy this weekend, but didn't get around to it.
- Comment on Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound | Review Thread 1 month ago:
I keep getting this game and the upcoming Shinobi game confused with each other, but they both look amazing. And I do mean that literally, with great pixel art for Ninja Gaiden and a kind of hand-drawn Flash game style for Shinobi. Great time to be a fan of... retro-styled 2D reboots of ninja-themed franchises, I guess?
I have too many games in my backlog right now, but I'll probably have to pick these up anyway and move them to the top of the queue.

Well, it definitely fits the theme for that era, that's for sure. Maybe even the defining site for that aesthetic.

Space Channel 5 is one of those classic Dreamcast games that I haven't checked out yet. I'll be sure to get to it now.

One part from the Sonic Adventure blog:
He was such a cute rapper.
His eyes sparkled just a little.
I didn't have a session today, so I was able to watch with ease.
Marlon, the vocalist of Knuckles, is very sexy.I guess you could say he was rougher than the rest of them, the best of them, tougher than leather.

Yeah, I love that. I figure this is because a site like that one is "a bunch of files in a folder on a server somewhere, including the videos," whereas nowadays the videos would be on a separate CDN or media host, which is why those tend to break separately.
- Comment on I found some classic video game websites that are still up 1 month ago:
Oh wow, that whole site is a gem, I hadn't heard of it before. I'm planning on playing a couple of games that have shrines on there, too. I'll definitely use those as a reference before checking some fandom.com site.
- Comment on I found some classic video game websites that are still up 1 month ago:
Haha, that's not dumb at all. :) Really, Lemmy's UI does not make it obvious that a post is a link. Sometimes the title is just the title, and sometimes it's a link to the thing that was actually being posted. Others, like Piefed, make it more obvious.
- Comment on I found some classic video game websites that are still up 1 month ago:
They're in the blog post that the original post is linking to. (If you're using Lemmy, you can click the title again to go to it.)
