You Can Work for and Even Betray Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars Outlaws - IGN (www.ign.com)

Developers from Ubisoft Massive and their compatriots over at LucasFilm shared a number of new details today with IGN at San Diego Comic-Con regarding Star Wars: Outlaws and the two locations revealed for the game thus far: the new moon Toshara, and Tatooine. Including, yes, that you can both work for and betray (if you want)...

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

And then your account is deleted and you don’t have the game at all anymore.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I just hope that the actors, writers and studios completely destroy the Hollywood machine. We can catch up on our DVDs for a year or two and then hopefully something new will come up with no affiliation with the existing studios and unions. Let the whole thing burn.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Another mass exodus will only happen if Reddit continues to rock the boat musk fashion

They haven’t taken down old.reddit yet.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Nah, it uses the Playstation layout, not the Nintendo layout. It’s got a square where the Y would be.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

The Internet is the Internet. As the Fediverse grows, it’ll encounter all the same problems that the other social media platforms do, except one: People won’t be locked into a single website controlled by a monolithic corporation. That’s a big enough improvement in my books.

Vigilante: A Home Port Comparison (i.imgur.com)

Vigilante was a 1988 Irem coin-op, a kind of spiritual successor to 1984’s Kung Fu Master/Spartan X. Like the 1984 title, Vigilante had a simple premise - you walk to the right and beat up fools in front of you and behind you. There’s no pseudo-third-dimension, no in and out, it’s just straight up single plane brawling,...

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Interesting how the series managed to transition from a beat-em-up to a car combat game by the seventh sequel.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

And my axe!

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

That’s where bushido came from. Too many samurai, not enough battles to make them fight in, so they came up with a bunch of rules to keep them out of trouble.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

No, there’s still some dust on here. It’s forty foxes.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Asimov predicted caves of steel. Instead we got caves of cheese.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Wait, there’s a real tool called a “tiddy” which is a “soft, deformable shape”?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

It’s a silicone tiddy?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Sausage? Sausage! Why blast your eyes!

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

It used to be up to the individual. The Republicans took it out of the hands of the people.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

So you’re typesetting your database results?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Works in the Cinnamon terminal, too.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

There’s definitely a long way to go, but as more people start using Linux adoption is likely to accelerate. You’re more likely to switch if you know someone personally who already uses it and can help you get over the initial hurdles, and the more people who use it the more attention it’ll get from hardware and software vendors, making them more likely to support Linux directly instead of so much relying on compatibility layers and reverse-engineered drivers.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Never thought I’d see the day when it’s easier to get a printer working in Linux than Windows. How the turntables.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

3D print a plate with your document on it. Dip the plate in ink and press it to a sheet of paper.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

In the end, Magic Quotes will save us all.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

And 640K should be enough for anybody.

Golden Axe: A home port comparison (lemmy.world)

In the UK, we have a peculiar turn of phrase: “to make a good fist of” something. It means to put up a good show, to make the best of what you have, to succeed despite your challenges. And if you ever need to demonstrate to a non-English speaker what this means in practice, you can show them the 8-bit micro ports of Golden...

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

It was also painful to use Lemmy back then because any time there was a new post it would push all the old ones down the screen and you’d often literally have to chase the links that you wanted to click. That on top of how generally slow and unreliable the platform was back in June. The technical improvements to Lemmy over the last few weeks have been absolutely amazing.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Any man who must say, “I am the king” is no true king.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

And the servers all* communicate with each other, so you can see content from one server while logged into another (the URL format would just be slightly different.)

  • Well, except for the cases where a server admin decides to defederate from another server for one reason or another.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Let's just hope that we get 20 back from the Kaiser before we hit that number.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I didn't know about OwnCast. I'll have to look into that.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I don't stream myself so I can't speak for that side of things, but just for watching streams the software seems fine but there's not much content. Same story as a lot of Fediverse systems.

Maybe once the Lemmy/kbin threaded Fediverse takes off (which I think has the potential to be the first federated network to eclipse its centralized counterparts) there can be some synergy with these other platforms that can help them get more users.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Thing is, people stay on Facebook because their friends and family are on Facebook. Reddit is far more anonymous and therefore has far less inertia.

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

The Fediverse is decentralized. The individual instances are not. Decentralization means that there's no one person or organization with power over the entire network, but people absolutely can and should moderate their own instances. If you don't like the moderation policies of once instance you can move to another.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I've heard that they're going to have fireworks shows all across Canada to celebrate.

The US will delay their fireworks shows until the 4th, presumably so that they can spend the previous three days not pooping.

How we know Trump's internal polling looks vastly different than the publicly released polls we're getting:

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Trump doesn't adapt his strategies with new information. At the beginning of the campaign, DeSantis looked like a credible opponent, so Trump is still behaving like he is. Look at 2017 when Trump was loudly complaining about voter fraud in an election that he'd won. He'd already decided that he was going to spend his time after the election complaining about voter fraud, and he stuck to that despite the fact that it made no sense after his victory.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Not unless you want a nunchuck in the face.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

The F710 doesn't have a USB connection. It won't work without batteries. The F310 would have made more sense, since it's wired and I doubt that rumble is needed for piloting a submarine. It'd be cheaper, too.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

There's a row of them along the top of the keyboard, and another block of them on the right-hand side.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Yes. Send me bitcoin.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I think I've got 30 lives.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Let's not impugn the good name of the Logitech F710. It's a perfectly fine controller.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I've heard Zuck use contractions.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I would've thought that was obvious.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Yeah. That looks like an F310 controller without wireless or rumble. OceanGate sprung for the high-end F710 model.
