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
Tekken? Nah. It’s a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.
You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.
Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band’s worth of instruments.
I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.
And that’s not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.
RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.
Moments like this make me think Mike DeWine isn’t dumb enough or evil enough to actually be a Republican. He actually has a soul and he’ll make his own party double-down on transphobia if they’re so committed to it. We should’ve still impeached him for screwing up the March 2020 primary election, though.
Check each game’s entry on PCGamingWiki. They’re a good resource for finding what it takes to get old games running well on modern PCs. A lot of times, the answer is either “buy it on Steam and use a community-made patch” or “buy it on GOG”.
I’m curious, what games are you trying to get working?
Generally good news here, but I’m not holding my breath. Sega’s remakes are still hit-and-miss, but they all have a chance to be good. We don’t know if Hideki Naganuma is involved with the new Jet Set Radio.
Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar
to install them all silently.
Of course you have to follow it with The Odyssey by Symphony X, a 24-minute symphonic metal track.

Getting the mainstream ones out of the way first: 3s, Garou MotW, ST/2X, Tekken 3 (PS1), UMK3, MvC2, CvS2, SC2, KOF '98, Vampire Savior
Got it? Good. But have you played:
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Strange Mortal Kombat-looking game with three Jackie Chans, but surprisingly accessible
Fighter’s History Dynamite/Karnov’s Revenge: Karnovember is coming! A 1994 fighting game that held up very well
King of Fighters '95: A prime example of SNK’s old school style
Fighter’s Destiny and Toy Fighter: 3D fighters where certain knockdowns earn you points, and first to 5 or 7 points wins
Street Fighter EX2 Plus: Arika’s quirky take on Street Fighter with plenty of unique characters and mechanics
Slap Happy Rhythm Busters: Fast polygonal 2D fighter with simple controls and supers that make a rhythm action game happen
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters SNES: The good Turtles fighting game. Fun mechanics to learn and break.
Edit: Added videos for the games that didn’t have links to a wiki
I tried writing alt text with the image on this post on August 9, and I thought it wasn’t working. On mine and other Kbin instances, alt text does load but Firefox just doesn’t show it when I mouseover. In the page’s source, it’s an “alt” argument instead of a “title” argument, and Firefox users can’t see alt text if the image loads successfully. It would work better if Kbin allowed users to input title text instead of alt text.
I didn’t notice until just now, but that post’s alt text works perfectly on Mastodon! It simply duplicates the alt text into the title text and I can read it when I mouseover the image.
That leaves Lemmy which seems to have no alt text support at all. I’ve inspected the page and my alt text simply doesn’t federate to Lemmy. But Lemmy apparently has working spoiler tags and Lemmy users are considering using that to describe images. The Lemmy spoiler tags don’t work anywhere else, though.
Everywhere but Lemmy will just render this as regular text. My Wordle-playing friends would be sad.
The Republicans in state legislature asked us to vote to give up our right to vote on things. All they accomplished was making us more angry at them.
Source is George Takei on Mastodon, and there’s a lot of discussion there too. I didn’t know Spock Hand Emoji 🖖🏽 was a thing, but here it is.
Nice work! If Kbin ever gets a mascot, someone will have to draw it flying with balloons so I can make it @FloatingIsFun 's new icon.
You’re right, and Snopes confirms what you’re saying. They only ever appear to be standing next to each other in this one photo, ever. There’s no evidence that they even greeted each other. I’m all for dragging both of them through the mud for the stuff they’ve done, but there’s no need to make up a story that they did anything together.
I’m a fella of Mbin but I’ve still got my bag of tricks with me:
