Everyone knows about Final Fight, right? This 1989 Capcom beat 'em up feels almost genre defining, even though it was not the first beat 'em up of its type. Nevertheless, it cast a long shadow over games that came after it, especially those released by Capcom....
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,...
That would probably be at least mildly disappointing to the many millions of people who voluntarily and knowingly decide that their content is worth the cost, but I guess they should all defer to your great wisdom.
xAI, Elon Musk’s newly formed AI company, has revealed itself with a new website detailing its mission and team at x.ai. Musk tweeted the company’s intent is to “understand reality” without any other details or explanation....
It’s hilarious to me that Elon insisted on having a headshot and being mentioned first in the team description. Everyone knows he isn’t doing anything of value, but he has to appear as if he’s writing the code himself because his tiny ego can’t tolerate “just” being the money guy.
The Element drives itself continuously at around two miles per hour over farmland, using an advanced computer vision system to identify crops and unwanted botanical invaders. With two-axis robotic arms positioned close the ground, it can flick weeds out of the way where they’ll dry out before they can grow seeds and spread.
Upgrades include: SCSI CD-ROM, 68040 accelerator, 128MB memory, ethernet, and not shown in this picture, a grayscale card. All in a clear MacEffects case.
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...
I’m not saying Empire is bad by any means. It’s still entertaining. But I was shocked when the Internet burst my bubble to declare Jedi a joke and Empire the best. (btw, potential spoilers)...
I didn’t come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn’t care about its users....
Feel free to do so and run your own server. Blackmailing is childish and non productive by the way. I’m sure most instances will defederate from threads over time but they are looking to federate with mastadon instances more than lemmy/kbin.
Admins paid off? That’s absurd. Lemmy.world are taking a moderate wait-and-see approach. I disagree with that stance, but to insinuate they are corrupt because they aren’t as reactionary as you are is ridiculous.
They served Meta a valid warrant. Meta didn't even know it was about abortion. It's explicitly wrong to say they actively helped. They were forced to help and didn't even know what they were helping about. This could theoretically occur here as well, just not as usefully. Accounts aren't really tied to real identities, but servers in the US at the very least would need to comply just as well.
Edit: I don't like Meta. I think they're awful, but let's at least not exaggerate when it isn't necessary. There are plenty of other reasons to get mad at them. And I mean, posting that on Twitter is ridiculous in and of itself.
