  • Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog

    Jump

  • Written in 2020 but still an interesting read. I wonder what the author thinks of games that have released in the intervening years, like Manor Lords, Going Medieval, and Farthest Frontier?

  • What's the best free version of word?

    Jump

  • OpenOffice isn’t as well known now because it was replaced, for all intents and purposes, by LibreOffice in ~2010.

  • Double Fine reveals Kiln, a pottery-based multiplayer party brawler

    Jump

  • Looks really pretty, but… yet another pvp arena battler? Really? The market is hard enough as it is without launching games that are doomed to fail.

    I like Double Fine but we see it time and time again - this kind of game is dead within weeks of launching.

  • Dreamcast controller

    Jump

  • Raphnet (and possibly others) make a USB adapter for Dreamcast pads, if you have one.

    If you want something brand new, Xbox controllers have a more or less direct lineage from Sega pads, as (iirc) MS hired many ex-Dreamcast personnel to work on the original Xbox after the DC was killed off.

    360 pads work well on PC and are easy to come by. Hyperkin also makes a modern version of the original Xbox ‘duke’ controller that might work well.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Opening Title Sequence

    Jump

  • Nothing? The whole thing is couched in a metaphor of new growth to represent the reopening of the academy and the importance of building a new generation. It says at least as much about the show as watching the Enterprise D zooming past a few random planets ever did.

  • Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News

    Jump

  • True, it doesn’t seem like something that would kill the business. But still, I would think the prospect of migrating an entire streaming service to a completely different platform might warrant losing at least a little sleep.

  • Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News

    Jump

  • Isn’t all of Dropout.tv hosted on Vimeo?

    Edit: yes it is

    “Do not build your own app. Vimeo's right here. I don’t have to worry about customer service. I don't have to worry about legal compliance... Our budget can go to what actually matters to us and what we’re actually good at, which is content."

    Andrew Bridgman, Chief Digital Officer at Dropout

  • 200 MB RAM FreeBSD Desktop

    Jump

  • Some people have hobbies. Wild idea, I know.

  • Is there a list of important/key episodes – but not just the good episodes?

    Jump

  • When I was going through TNG and DS9 for the first time with my wife, I built our watchlist based on a combination of Kethinov’s and Jammer’s reviews.

    Kethinov is particularly of interest here because he gives a ‘filler rating’ for each DS9 episode, separate from its overall rating, which tells you if it’s important to the longer-term story.

  • You'll no longer earn Steam points from community awards, as Valve try to kill off clownface-farming

    Jump

  • Nope. Just useless profile decorations and people using reactions to troll on the forums.

  • Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game

    Jump

  • I fucking love Highway 17 - it’s an atmospheric and enjoyable road trip and I will die on this hill.

  • FYI, you too can watch the Mpreg episode of the Dilbert animated series for free on tubi.

    Jump

  • The good news is he’s dead now, so you can enjoy Dilbert without any risk of accidentally giving him any money.

  • Where can I get sweet dish fish?

    Jump

  • Are you talking about Swedish fish?

  • The size and placement of this modal from ifixit

    Jump

  • Yeah, same for me in Safari - not sure what happened to OP but it looks like they triggered a rendering bug somehow.

  • The doors have all been locked.

    Jump

  • Haven’t been to a wedding recently but I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the speeches are LLM slop now, too.

  • What do you think of the Singapore approach to drugs ?

    Jump

  • I don’t believe there is any situation in which a penalty of death is ethical.

    Even putting aside the morality of killing someone, you can never rule out mistakes, miscarriages of justice, or political abuse.

  • What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you want a clear set of rules as to what defines every possible genre of music, which does not and cannot exist.

    Genres only exist for the purpose of subjective comparison. Anyone can create them by taking some elements common to several pieces of music and labelling that as a genre. There’s no master list or governing body that decides exactly what constitutes ‘art rock’. It just is.

    Use them as labels if you find it useful to make a distinction that they allow for. If you don’t see the difference between death metal and heavy metal, great - you don’t need to.

  • No, this is the YouTube home feed.

    The ‘sacrificed his lungs’ bit is the title of a completely unrelated video above the Robert Reich post - you can see a sliver of the thumbnail at the very top of the feed. Looks to involve a piano.

  • PlayStation Has Delisted Over 1000 Shovelware Games

    Jump

  • Console certifications only check that a game is functional and meets platform requirements (like achievements, peripheral support, accessibility).

    They’re there to ensure a game works and won’t brick any systems or steal bank details etc. They don’t typically check that a game is ‘good’, since it’s so subjective.
