Hey guys! Hey guys! I just got back from my local fighting game group in 2009 and there’s this game I’ve got to show you.

DragonBlast is a pretty solid 2D indie fighting game with 3D models. Usually, the characters are muscular furries. Well, in this video, there’s a joke version called Nico Nico Fighters (ニコニコファイターズ) where all the characters are 2000s-era Japanese internet memes! I’d kill for someone to leak that build to the Internet so I can play it.

Hey guys? Guys! Oh…they left me again.

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.

Whoa… !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io looks really good in PieFed’s tile views! It’s kind of what I was going for with my CSS. I think PieFed has a ton of potential, and I want to mess around with it more.

@Jerry@hear-me.social, if you just saw a spike of like 1GB of data getting federated in, that was me manually retrieving my first few hundred posts.

Edit: Oops, I tagged the wrong instance admin named Jerry!

Maybe? I looked around, and I couldn’t find anything that stated that we defederated them. I just noticed I couldn’t reach !touhou@ani.social from my own instance, so I checked our defederated communities and found ani.social named there. I wondered if our instance admin blocked them across the entire Jerryverse, but they’re not blocked on his Lemmy instance, his Akkoma instance, or his main Mastodon instance.

I’m OK. !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io is coming along fine. We still have the most threads of any magazine on fedia.io, though the more buoyant !hydrogen@fedia.io will surpass us soon. It helps that I’m not the only one posting, and I’m trying to let others have input on the types of content we post.

Our group of airheads has a lot of crossover with ani.social’s audience, so that took a hit when ani.social got themselves defederated from our instance and others. I’d post to !touhou@ani.social if I could.

Just make the main link a New York Times gift article link. Those aren’t paywalled. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah.html?unlocked_article_code=1.L04.4Yla.tf3LG-_hbGcb&smid=url-share

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.

Or FuncoLand?

Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register

I’ve only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.

Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I’m here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)

would’ve been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active.

I’m trying! :P

I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it’s still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin’s interface more than Lemmy’s defaults, though Lemmy’s support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I’m happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine’s custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.

Oh dang, I’m gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I’d like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.

It’s close, but I give it to Ocarina of Time. Both were genre-advancing technological achievements of 3D and cinematics. Neither of them are the best in their series, with better games before and after these. But Ocarina of Time is more fun in combat and in glitches, so it’s better.

The better debate is what’s better: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Metroid. Both, of course!

no English localization

That’s a shame. I loved Working Designs’s voice acting in the Sega CD version. They even added voiceovers to lines that weren’t voiced in the Japanese version. I wonder who even owns the rights to that localization nowadays.

Come to Mbin! We have active developers!

Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it’s just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.

As for me, I like these ones: !wordle@lemmy.world - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday !news@beehaw.org - Good reliable world news that covers important events !usnews@beehaw.org - I’m American and this is better than most of our news outlets !comicstrips@lemmy.world - Good single-serving comics in my feed !vgmusic@lemmy.world - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent

To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.
