  • Never send an AI to do a lawyer's job. Did that registrar have anything to fear, legally?

  • Sub.rehab can help you find equivalent communities to the subreddits you visit. If there isn't a Fediverse version of your community yet, start your own. That's what I did.

    If you're nostalgic for Old Reddit, use "Old" Lemmy.

  • Has anybody found a way to turn Microsoft's ads off yet? I'm tired of dismissing their prompts to switch to Edge and Office 365 every few months.

  • Gah, it happened again. This reply to this Bluesky post didn't make it to Bluesky. I wonder if it's because I included two links to Xitter.

  • Whoa, yeah. I sent a second reply, and that time it actually made it to Bluesky. I'll chalk it up to early adopter jank. We're used to it on Lemmy and Mbin.

  • They harassed a local business, got confronted by the patrons there, and pepper sprayed them. Then, they got arrested for it.

  • Oh! I didn't know it was actually against the game's code of conduct to ram like this. In that case, ramming is breaking a rule, and the offender should be reported and punished. What is the punishment for ramming like this, anyway? Is this win taken away from them?

    If the developers don't want players to ram each other, that rule should be enforced by the game itself. Either don't have realistic collisions between players, or prevent cars from going offroad after a collision, or instantly take away the offender's money or points.

    Fighting game tournaments usually allow everything that's possible in the game engine, but there are exceptions like intentionally crashing the game.

  • I like chess, but I can't think that fast. At that speed, I can only do !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz : push pawns, fork things with knights, always take en passant, and try not to blunder away the queen.

  • Welcome to the real world.

    Look, I come from fighting games and not racing games, so this actually looks OK to me. The goal is to win the race by hook or crook, and you are expected to use every means at your disposal to win. It's dirty play, but it isn't against the rules, and you should expect all of your serious opponents to ram you in this situation.

    It's like snaking in Mario Kart DS. It's a weird counter-intuitive mechanic that makes you go faster by powersliding constantly, even on straightaways. If you're playing without snaking, you're not really playing Mario Kart DS.

  • Me too! My weekly stream is becoming more of a yearly stream. My work schedule doesn't really allow for consistent streams, but maybe that'll change soon.

  • Spread is brokenly good, but I like playing with Laser too. It feels good to land the entire beam on a boss. Especially in the arcade version, laser kills bosses fast.

  • Megaupload. It was like the Library of Alexandria burning down. Not just pirated stuff, either.

  • Here in Ohio, FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique were the national game store chains in town until GameStop bought them both and took over their stores. Funco was known for their lists of trade-in values in magazines in the days before VGPC. Now it's come full circle and GameStop is turning some stores into the 90s FuncoLand stores they replaced.
