- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 2 days ago:
On the SNES, all of the games below have coop:
- Tiny Toons Wild and Wacky Sports - a collection of several silly minigames as some sort of tournament, with minimum scores that need to be reached. No direct violence between players, only cartoon shenanigans like falling down a cliff, snowballing after tripping while skiing, etc. (Maybe show the kid some of the old cartoons as well, if s/he enjoys, I’m sure the game will be more interesting to him/her)
- Super Bomberman - Might count as “violent”, since you’re bombing weird looking enemies, but it’s a formula that rarely gets old and plays great as co-op. Your kid might enjoy 3 and 4 the most, with the variety of mounts to be had (if your rpi can run NeoGeo games, Neo Bomberman is also a great choice)
- Top Gear - Racing game with one of the best soundtracks in the console. Top Gear 3000 goes to space and has plenty of options for upgrading your car.
- Secret of Mana - Might count as “violent”, especially as you start off with a sword and kill cute bunny-thing enemies. An action RPG that, once you get the 2nd character, it can be played with the 2nd controller. Drop-in/drop-out, so you can easily join and leave while your kid plays or vice versa. The same applies for Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3)
- Magical Quest 2 and 3 - Disney games that are best when played cooperatively (the first lacks coop). Starts off easy enough and you get new costumes that give special powers, which help you out in the stages going forward. It’s “Disney violence” how you beat most enemies (jumping on their heads, spinning them against one another)
- Kirby Super Star and Dreamland 3 - Both allow for a second player to join in and help. Dreamland 3 has a very unique and cute looking style.
- International Super Star Soccer - If you’re into normal football (soccer), this is easily the best of its kind for the 16-bit era
- NBA Jam - Also available on the Mega Drive, dunno which version is better. BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!

I know the 2 games below have 2 player couch coop. Not sure if you can play with 4p local on EDF
- Dynasty Warriors 8 - beat up soldiers by the hundreds while watching Romance of 3 Kingdoms as a 3D anime
- Earth Defense Force 5 - Kill giant insects and aliens with building-destroying firepower. The story and narration in 5 takes itself too seriously, but it has many quality of life improvements over 4, which is overall a funnier game with the best infantry sing-along
- Comment on Brazil's supreme court rules that platforms like Facebook and X can be held liable for user posts, requiring them to remove content even without a court order 2 days ago:
Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that “most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it”
Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system

- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 3 days ago:
Right now at least, AI is being more of a headache than anything in coding. Microsoft itself was responsible for one such gaffe in May, as an actual coder had to tell the AI to fix an error, again and again, as each time it’d make a different mistake
- Comment on Brazil's supreme court rules that platforms like Facebook and X can be held liable for user posts, requiring them to remove content even without a court order 3 days ago:
The main problem is that the platforms have a money incentive to keep spam and scam posts online. They pay meta and TikTok for boosts, the scam gets boosted, all done.
Frankly, it seems like the problem could be solved by forcing the platforms to get a Know Your Customer level of information and putting that info on every boosted post, so people know who’s paying for that.
Buuuut, it’s Brazil. Justice and fairness only ever happen as side effects from judges’ decisions
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 3 days ago:
Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.
Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

Sounds like you’ve been led to see girls and women as “alien” for whatever reason. Understanding the why of that could help us help you, or more importantly, help you help yourself.
So, why didn’t you have any meaningful conversation with any woman relatives, school or work colleagues in so long?

Wouldn’t you have to have some sort of MITM to be able to inspect that traffic?
That, or a court order telling your ISP or mobile operator to allow the sniffing. Or just the police wanting to snoop your stuff because they can. Not every country cares about individual or human rights, you know

The solution is legislation, as without that, we can’t expect companies to decide to release either the executables or source code for running the servers, other than a handful looking to get some attention and goodwill.
- Comment on The Guardian and the University of Cambridge Computer Science Department unveil new technology to protect journalists 6 days ago:
Packet data has headers that can identify where it’s coming from and where it’s going to. The contents of the packet can be securely encrypted, but destination is not. So long as you know which IPs Signal’s servers use (which is public information), it’s trivial to know when a device is sending/receiving messages with Signal.
This is also why something like Tor manages to circumvent packet sniffing, it’s impossible to know the actual destination because that’s part of the encrypted payload that a different node will decrypt and forward.

littlehuge mountain right in the middle of the impact zone - Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 week ago:
Nobody gave ‘murica any right, they just imposed themselves. The simple answer is imperialism. USA was always a power and money hungry bitch and has been putting nations, populations and markets under their boots (not always thru military force) for profit since the late 1800s. Yes, they’ve been an evil empire for that long. Latin America as a whole has suffered many hells so uncle sam could keep commodities’ prices super low.
