If you play on PC, you can use a hotfix injector to mod the cost of gold, diamond, and skeleton chests to be free.

There’s lots of quality-of-life patches and other fixes available too for both Borderlands 3 and Wonderlands.

I always remember the difference by imagining them as lines on a graph. Forward slash is the line with positive slope and backslash is the one with negative slope.

Such unexpected behavior from a person who was unfaithful to their spouse and who brought a cameraperson into a public bathroom. I’m shocked (/s)

End time zones. Instead of converting what time it is somewhere else, I’d rather convert what time dawn/mid-day/dusk is.

Wow, 18 years old. Born as a result of puppy milling, then put into a shelter after the mill was shut down. I would not expect a dog born in those circumstances to be as healthy as to live for that long. The owner obviously took very good care of them and I’m sure they lived a very happy life.

Recently, there came out a way of recompiling N64 games for PC without a decompilation and with mostly working results. It is technically possible to apply the hack patch and then recompile it for PC. I don’t know if there’s a way to apply HD texture packs on top of that though (edit: there seems to be in the video, but I haven’t looked into how).

What about the other 98?

Really pushing her into the deep end, sink-or-swim style. I just hope Pelican Town doesn’t chew her up and spit her out too hard.

I remember someone porting Mario 64 movement to Minecraft a few years ago. The original is outdated, but here are a few mods I just found for version 1.20.1. Note that I haven’t tested these yet.

Obviously vanilla Minecraft wasn’t balanced around these movement techniques, but they certainly can’t be any more overpowered than elytra+rockets.

I would rarely choose to fast travel if I had engaging and interesting means of travel like bunny hopping and strafe jumping in Quake, or wall-riding like Lucio in Overwatch. This assumes the world was built to facilitate this kind of movement and there were challenging obsticles, enemies, treasures, secrets, and other points of interest scattered among a variety of paths for the player to choose. Obviously much easier said than done; Super Mario Oddessy and Sonic Frontiers tried to do something like this on a smaller scale (relative to the large open worlds of other games) with varying levels of success.

Exploration was fun in the BotW and TotK Zelda games, but I found myself relying on fast travel by the midpoint of each of those entries because the enemy camps and treasures just weren’t worth the time nor effort. Dashing on horses wasn’t mechanically deep enough and Ultra Handing vehicles was either too inconvient or resulted in “path of least resistance” designs that led me to hoverbike to new locations very cheaply and easily.

I think they might be confusing Karl with RWhiteGoose (now Goose’s Gaming Folklore), who is another Goldeneye speedrunner that does videos featuring speedruning accomplishments across the community. Goose is a neo-nazi.

I thought decompiling with Ghidra was okay too, I may have just misunderstood the wiki article when I double checked post-commenting and crossed out my comment. I’m not entirely sure what comprises “proprietary techniques”. But I’m pretty sure that documentation needs to be provided in order to keep it on the legal side. Hopefully this project can come back and recieve continued support ala similar decomp projects.

I think the binary they distributed still included the art and sound assets; the users didn’t have to provide their own. And “clean-room” design is more than just providing source code. You need to provide a “paper trial” / commit history and documentation of how the final code was derived from the original code. My mistake, clean room is when you recreate the project without reading the original/compiled code at all. Specifications are written based on observed behaviors of the original user-facing program and new code is written according to that.

Maybe I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a way to release this while avoiding the issue of copyright? My understanding is that publishing “clean-room” reverse engineered code is legal. The graphics and sound can’t be redistributed, but you can distribute a tool to rip those assests from a ROM and let the users provide a ROM they own. This is what Ship of Harkinian does no?

Somehow, it seems, you managed to cause PipedLinkBot to repost your YouTube link instead of the Piped link, which then triggers PipedLinkBot to reply to itself infinitely. Maybe because the link is to an unlisted video?

I don’t know how to get it to stop. Maybe a moderator can ban it temporarily.

Ultimately, the goal of the protest should be to get as many users off of Reddit as possible.

It’s all about harm reduction (or maximization, in this case) and minimizing the amount of traffic and useful data to Reddit. There are going to be situations where giving screenreader users the information about Lemmy/kbin will transition users off of Reddit. In that case, the number of users leaving Reddit probably outweighs the cost of providing a minuscule amount of data to Reddit in the couple of comments it takes to advertise transitioning to Lemmy/kbin to such users.

It’s up to the individual to make that evaluation for themselves. If you want to propose a Lemmy/kbin alternative to Redditors on r/screenreader, then yeah, probably don’t use encoded text.

Yar, this one right here, Captain. Make them walk the plank! /j

That makes sense, I didn’t even think about that aspect of it. Obviously users seeing posts of (Sexy Captain) John Oliver will know that those users are protesting, but seeing pirate-speak comments in non-protesting posts would also cause users to be reminded of the protest (if pirate-speak caught on large-scale and was associated with the protest).

I was thinking more small-scale individual-level and not the large-scale that (Sexy Captain) John Oliver posts have become. It would be nice if it caught on to a large scale like you suggest. My biggest gripe with these protest discussions being on Reddit is that Reddit is still benefiting from that activity and this would be my way of mitigating that.

True, but it might consider it “regular talk”. I don’t really believe that (realistically) a handful of users speaking pirate would taint chat GPT. It’s more-so for anyone who wants to (temporarily) contribute to the discussion about how their favorite protesting subreddits should maliciously comply with forced reopening. I personally feel that I would not like Reddit to sell access to my comments to be used for AI training, so if I hadn’t already deleted my accounts, I would taint them knowing that I’m not providing Reddit anything of value.

Ideally users would leave Reddit ASAP, but in the interim, while promoting the fediverse alternatives on Reddit, I think coded language would be the most consistent with the maliciously complaint John Oliver pictures posted to various forced-to-open subreddits.

Edit: I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you meant that pirate speak would still be useful for training AI models. My bad! I blame the pirate speak!
