It’s never talked about these days but yeah, back in the day it was a pretty well known hit. I don’t know why but almost nothing makes me laugh harder than playing the BMX event on the Atari Lynx version and just making this poor bastard on the bike eat shit in the worst ways.

Mutant League Hockey was also a lot of fun, also based on their NHL engine on Genesis back then. Great choice. There was some sort of spiritual successor to Mutant League Football that came out recently if I’m remembering correctly…?

In the arcades, NHL Open Ice, AKA 2 on 2 NHL Open Ice Challenge. The sport of hockey done by the same team behind NBA JAM, which sadly never received the Tournament Edition version - like NBA JAM did - that it always deserved. The source code for it, and several other arcade games from Midway, did eventually get leaked to Github, so my hopes of a hack that adds stuff or gives us updated rosters is still alive: https://github.com/historicalsource/open-ice

There’s so much I love about this game. I’m not a baseball game fan in general but I keep coming back to Base Wars. The fights triggered by a runner sliding into a base as the ball is arriving was always fun. The velocity of the ball when you hit a homerun was awesome. Great pick.

Maybe it’s underrated these days because I imagine almost no one would be playing it these days but back in the actual days of the NES, Blades of Steel was beloved, at least here in Canada.

Pretty sure that is the actual default location for standard EmulationStation, as opposed to ES-DE.

Playing videogames and listening to music are passive activities. Going to the gym, learning to play guitar, working on a YouTube channel, those are all active activities which build up a skill that requires time and effort being put into them. It’s often said that it takes ten thousand hours to get really master something, but it often takes a lot less to get good enough at them. It sounds to me like you pick something new up, find that you aren’t instantly good at it and give up and no, that’s not normal. You say you’re 35 years old, but that’s really kind of a child-like mentality to have. It sounds to me like you really need to understand what the underlying fear/problem is here that is causing you to give up.

I am. Up to 8 at this point.

You really shouldn’t trust anything important to a pi. I hope that you at the very least have that pi on a UPS if you’re going to risk your data this way.

Bathrooms were shared back then between teachers and students. And when this happened, it was while class was ongoing, so he had very little expectation that he would run into any kids outside of class.

A kid in high school got caught jerking off in the bathroom by the school principal. His full name became a euphemism for jerking off after that.

Just about every sub about a new gaming handheld is the same with all the repeated posts of people receiving their new devices and should be banned or at least put into a weekly thread or something.

What kind of options do you feel mbin is currently missing?

I wasn’t aware of GlazeWM before, so thanks for giving me something else to check out.

I had originally hoped to use my Mastodon account to follow Lemmy communities but the fact that every single comment on a post pops up in my feed made it… just really unusable. Really happy with using #mbin for Lemmy though and keeping my Mastodon and Mbin separate.

I would be on Firefox myself except that I need Webassembly that functions at a decent speed and It’s about 30-100 times slower on Firefox than it is on Chrome and hasn’t changed in yeeeeears.

Probably unintended side-effect of this post: A few people like me discovering new communities to follow. Thank you!

So, should Kamala play into this by walking out to the podium at her next rally to Meredith Brooks’s “Bitch” to troll Trump?

Fuuuuuck no.

This is exactly why for everything fediverse, I only run my own.
