Depending on their fighting skills, they could have a relatively easy time as martial arts teachers (martial art = anything fighting related). Their troubles would arise from the whole “why does society work like this?”

What are some good cloth options for sublimation of boardgame maps?

Community iconc/asklemmy@lemmy.world by

I’m looking into making some game boards as foldable cloth for easier storage. I’m not currently interested in neoprene as it tends to be 2x more expensive than most cloth options, even if staying straight on a table is very desirable.

reply to: Toyota Developing A Console-Grade, Open-Source Game Engine - Using Flutter & Dart in Game Development@programming.dev

Toyota is interested in a game engine suited for their in-vehicle / digital cockpit experience.

Maybe not embedded devices, but hardware equivalent to mid phones from 2016 which is what I suppose would be the equivalent of the media center in their cars, stuff that might not even support OpenGL3

Oh no, these classified documents mysteriously showed up at a drop point where a journalist found it!

Granted, the current surveillance state makes that kind of thing easy to track, “who accessed those docs, when; who printed and when”, but he could look into alternatives.

reply to: Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore in Linux@programming.dev

If there’s one thing the majority of people that are still on windows won’t care about is “being as up to date as possible”. Hell, even people on android phones complain about updates, “they changed everything, I have no idea where is what!”

Mint being based on a LTS that lasts a while is a desired feature for a lot of people, the kind that don’t follow tech news and don’t want to bother understanding computers.

You’re getting significant lag with Generals? I never got anywhere close to that on a ~2012 mid rig, even on a 4v4 match

reply to: Beyond All Reason in Games@lemmy.world

The game is all about skirmishes. If you’ve ever played total annihilation or supreme commander, matches’ length are close. On small maps, anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Huge maps can take way longer

Kids of today will likely miss Roblox in 15-20 years, but it's unlikely they'll have the chance to play the stuff they missed during their childhoods

Community iconc/showerthoughts@sh.itjust.works by

Reminiscing on how kids of the 80s, 90s and 00s can all get games of their respective times via emulation and piracy, but anything inside Roblox is likely to be inaccessible when present day kids become adults and look back with nostalgia

Alternatives to dice systems?

Community iconc/rpg@ttrpg.network by

Dice are pretty much synonymous with RPGs, but there are a few rare systems that forego them altogether, like Castle Falkenstein.

3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space

I've played Alien Rampage (1996) and let me tell you...

Community iconc/retrogaming@lemmy.world by

I started playing this game not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised, because it’s a solid game by itself, despite its age. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but overall the game is very well done. There is no nostalgia here, I never even saw this game on the few shareware discs of the late 90s that I had. I played the GOG version, but it’s also available on Steam.

The go-to effect in movies and series to show that transmissions have been corrupted or intercepted is some sort of analog static, even when everything is digital

I guess the realistic “video just stopped” or audio desync isn’t as fun on a screen

A site listing delisted games

Community iconc/gaming@lemmy.world by

When going through the list by platforms, it will also list games that got relisted, though some lack the [RELISTED] tag but are being sold as packages with other similar games (Doom 1+2, Heretic+Hexen), as remasters only (Soul Reaver 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 2) or as a “final edition” with all updates and DLC as if it was a different game (Super Lucky’s Tale, Street Fighter 4)

Community iconc/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works by

I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that has infuriated so much me with little things as much as this one. There are just SO FUCKING MANY little things that feel wrong that it really fucks up the experience.

Is there a drug that can give an autist a "normie experience"?

Asking because my gf has ADHD and she told me that, the first time she took ritalin (methylphenidate), she thought to herself “So this is what it feels like to not have ADHD?”

What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom?

Community iconc/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world by

I mean, every market has 2 or 3 whole aisles dedicated entirely to cleaning products and each seems specific for one thing only. I feel like some soap with a disinfectant is enough, but most people I know do a whole 3 stage cleaning ritual - soap (and rinse), disinfectant (and rinse), bleach (and rinse to finish)

TIL Hereticon was a thing mr antichrist (Peter Thiel) funded

Community iconc/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone by

“Right at the peak of our last pandemic, Founders Fund hosted the first Hereticon, a ‘conference for thoughtcrime.’ Our thinking was simple: dissent is worth protecting. Most new ideas are wrong, or useless. Some are even dangerous. But from science and technology to business and faith, progress is a history of persecuted weirdos, so that is where we stand, and that is what we celebrated.”
