  • Lemmy’s essential 25 PS1 games

    Jump

  • Tony Hawk Pro Skater (the first one is the only one exclusive to PlayStation 1, THPS 2 and 3 came out on PS2)

    Hi! I'm an 0Ld Tony Hawk player, so let me break it down. Mouseover the acronyms for full titles if your client supports it.

    THPS1 and THPS2 were PS1 first, and then ported to Dreamcast, N64, and PC. THPS2 also got a weird Xbox port with THPS1 levels in it. That's not counting the portable versions and later HD remakes.THPS3, THPS4, THUG1, THUG2, and THAW were all PS2/Xbox/GameCube first, and eventually PC too. The PS1, N64, and GBA got demakes of some of these games using the THPS2 engine, and they don't feel right. THUG1's PC port was exclusive to Australia and New Zealand 🤨. THUG2 has a PSP port. THUG2 PC mod THUG Pro is where the THPS community lives now. THAW has fantastic ports on DS and 360.THP8 and THPG were 360/PS3-exclusive, but THP8 was eventually ported to PS2.THPG and THDJ for DS were actually pretty good. Only the DS versions though.We don't talk about Robomodo's games.

  • Some more I haven't seen mentioned yet, maybe just outside the top 25:

    • Rapid Reload/Gunner's Heaven - Gunstar Heroes-inspired platform shooting chaos
    • Jumping Flash! - Low poly early FPS series with a robot bunny that jumps really high
    • Bishi Bashi Special - Compete with your friends in WarioWare-like rapid-fire three button minigames
    • Vanark - Basically Star Fox 64 for the PS1, but went almost entirely unnoticed
    • The Misadventures of Tron Bonne - Mega Man Legends spinoff starring goofy pirates and their adorable robot henchmen
    • Tail Concerto and Silent Bomber - CyberConnect2's first two games; both are hidden gems of 3D action
    • Gran Turismo 2 Combined Disc - Both discs combined into one oversized disc by Silent, creator of SilentPatch for the Grand Theft Auto games
    • Namco Museum (all six volumes) - I wish later Namco compilations had the first-person museum segments from the PS1 games
    • Tempest X3 - Back in my day, "Jeff Minter" was a euphemism for mind-altering drugs

  • Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance

  • lm.korako.me is a Japanese Lemmy instance run by @karasu_sue@lm.korako.me . It's small, but it counts!

    I'd love to see a revised map with all these ones from the comments added in.

  • If the Democrats had any guts, they'd revolt against their leadership and re-organize into a new far more aggressive left-leaning party. But they don't have any guts, so that won't happen. Maybe the new DNC chair can channel our anger into change?

  • I wonder if you'll be able to see this?

    Jump

  • Substack I came across. Has a very action-positive slant.

    Jump

  • Interesting. It's a shame they're not on the Fediverse, but at least they have an RSS feed that you can read in readers like Feedly.

  • Doxxing Trump Flag Wavers?

    Jump

  • Doxxing regular people as fascists? No way. Don't do that on Mbin or Lemmy. Legally, we don't want to touch that with a ten foot pole. Take that stuff somewhere else at your own risk.

    Now, doxxing organizations that support fascists? Go for it! Companies are not people. I'm working on a list of organizations that donated to the orange turd's campaign, showed up to his inauguration, display a fascist flag, or otherwise outed themselves as Nazi sympathizers. We need to bring the boycotts back.

  • Not forgotten

  • Nah, that's a PAL Mega Drive. It runs 16% slower than a Genesis and the graphics are vertically squished. They buried it so they could use the better NTSC models.

  • Update: I'm unbanned now. Lemmy.world has been seeing a lot of spam recently, and some of them use this domain. The automod banned me based on the domain alone. Automod bans are usually reviewed by the staff fairly quickly, but this one slipped through the cracks. It seems it got lost in a flood of actual spam posts.

    Lemmy.world's automod banned me from Lemmy.world for this post. I never heard a reason why, and maybe it's just a bot mistake. I really hope it isn't some political bias on Lemmy.world's part.

  • Thanks to the Reddit community /r/LaMigra for this resource. Hopefully /u/spez doesn't ruin it. I don't think Lemmy and Mbin have an equivalent to this.

  • We should change the magazine's name from "Prepare to Resist" to "Resist". It's time.

  • How are you doing with your communities?

    Jump

  • That's right, it's !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io . I couldn't find a community for people who like floaty things, so I made my own.

  • How are you doing with your communities?

    Jump

  • That's fair. The easiest way to find properly sourced examples of floating in the air is through the tags on pixiv and DeviantArt, and those have great tools like SauceNAO backing them up. So, that's what I have a lot of.

    What I really want is more videos and real life examples of floating, but those are more rare and much harder to track down accurate sources for. Sometimes I defeat language barriers and find the source, but the only way to post it is piracy. Sometimes I think I find a source, but it's fishy or I have to upload a copy of the video that works here. Sometimes an awesome video is never documented and I try for years to find the source and never get it. And after all that, video posts don't work well on Lemmy and PieFed.

  • How are you doing with your communities?

    Jump

  • I make threads to explore floaty things and their fun interactions, but my subscribers only like them if there are cute anime girls. Such is life. I'm trying to support smaller communities more.

  • Love your nonbinary homies and focus on the real villains.

  • How do you handle "disable your adblock" type sites?

    Jump

  • In desktop Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+C lets you click on an element and inspect it. Then, just press the Delete key. Page scripts can't block this. On mobile, you have to rely on adding more filter lists.

  • Should Airships Make A Comeback?

    Jump

  • I agree, if we can build colossal cargo airships, they can move things overseas more efficiently than any other mode of transport. I wouldn't stop there, though.

    I see the sky as a vast frontier of unrealized potential, and hydrogen airships are the most realistic way to get up there and experiment. Save the helium for MRI machines and other industries that need it more. I want to see us carry rockets to the upper atmosphere where they can launch with far less drag. How light can we make solar panels for the tops of airship envelopes? Let's get some artsy steampunk airships made, too.

    I know plenty of people like myself who would pay just to ride on an airship for fun. Paid airship flights exist in Florida and it's just a matter of time before other scenic skies become tourist destinations. Someday, I want a cheap dirigible of my own, with the hangar to store it, even if I can't fly it over the tops of thunderstorms like an airline would.

    I admit I'm kind of an outlier. I love things that float in the air and I basically dominate the #balloons tag on Mbin and Lemmy.
