  • Balatro Mobile Maker works because the game's engine (LOVE 2D) is designed from the ground up to be multiplatform. It's trivial to "port" compared to other engines.

  • There is a constitutional amendment that protects porn though. The first. What's changed in Texas isn't porn's legality, but restrictions on distribution (though yes, Texas's law is useless and completely misunderstands the internet's dynamics)

  • You can use pinchflat or tube archivist to "self-host" youtube as well. It still obviously gets the content from Google's servers but lets you manage the videos locally (and even apply Sponsorblock if you like)

  • Work required for ROA1 level of "workshop characters" is exponentially higher in the new art style and engine. When/if this game gets Steam Workshop, it'll probably end up with more "tweaked/cloned" characters than totally new wacky MUGEN stuff like ROA1.

  • Nintendo's stuff is free on day 1, or a few years after release if it's their Wii U stuff. I think the first Wii took a year before the Twilight Hack happened.

    Let's hope they fuck up again on the Switch 2!

  • Any bot that doesn't actually use lemmy's "I'm a bot" protocol (so I can hide it completely) gets downvoted. It's the only thing I even bother downvoting on Lemmy.

  • Well, there's an oddly existential argument to be made that "funny" AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer's Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I've seen from Google AI, and I've never touched the feature myself.

    By letting a language "speaker" learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of "that guy who thinks he's a comedian" because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he's a valuable part of the discourse!

  • If there's a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I've noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.

  • Obsidian's last open world game, The Outer Worlds, was best described as "whelming"

  • The equivalents for Android, precompiled ReVanced APKs, are commonly used to spread malware. Following the instructions to patch the app yourself isn't hard. Google taking down precompiled modded versions of YouTube but leaving patches and the the tools anybody can use to apply them is a neutral thing at worst.

    Also I don't see anyone in this thread glad that Google did this, aside from the first half of the joke / fakeout / pun post about IPA beer.

  • FighterZ is an actually good fighting game in the style of MvC or Street Fighter though, not the same 3d drivel with copy paste movesets and terrible game balance usually associated with anime tie-ins.

  • I use Paxmod instead. It supports multi-row tabs like old Tab Mix Plus.

  • Kingdom. It's a pseudo-historical (most overarching plot points are actual things that happened in history, but the minutiae are very "anime") manga about the Warring States Period in China. Comrades in arms, sick fight scenes, and war crimes galore. Over 700 chapters.

  • Monster capturing RPGs are a "genre" but Palworld isn't in that genre at all. Palworld is a survival game with mons instead of robotic automation.

  • I've seen them in the wild, I live in the bay area. They look worse than in the pictures. The brushed steel catches every speck of dirt and oil. It's like they're driving a damn crock-pot.

  • detecting it is the problem. If the software is truly being run on the monitor, not the PC, it's not something Riot can detect, unless they want to just ban anyone with this display connected to their PC (and monitor EID can also be spoofed).
