Native 4k output instead of a crappy upscaler or a RetroTink which costs more alone than this Analogue product. N64's native composite is laggy and hideous on a flatscreen TV, you need something like this or a retrotink or a CRT to make the games look good. Even if the Analogue couldn't play ROMs off an SD card (it can, if Analogue's previous products are any indication), you could just stick a Summercart in it.
I personally am a ride-or-die CRT player for my retro consoles, but big CRTs are getting rarer and living rooms less accommodating. If someone I knew wanted to go a "step past" emulation, I'd absolutely recommended this thing as the second shopping list priority. In order (imo):
Real N64, Real CRT, Summercart/ED64X7 (most authentic, and also cheapest if and only if you can source a CRT that fits your needs)
Analogue 3D, HDTV they already have
Real N64, RetroTink, Summercart/ED64X7 (more expensive than option 2 even if they already have the console and summercart lol)
Real N64, RetroTink or CRT, buying real copies of games at jacked-up collector prices

Balatro Mobile Maker works because the game's engine (LOVE 2D) is designed from the ground up to be multiplatform. It's trivial to "port" compared to other engines.

There is a constitutional amendment that protects porn though. The first. What's changed in Texas isn't porn's legality, but restrictions on distribution (though yes, Texas's law is useless and completely misunderstands the internet's dynamics)

You can use pinchflat or tube archivist to "self-host" youtube as well. It still obviously gets the content from Google's servers but lets you manage the videos locally (and even apply Sponsorblock if you like)

Work required for ROA1 level of "workshop characters" is exponentially higher in the new art style and engine. When/if this game gets Steam Workshop, it'll probably end up with more "tweaked/cloned" characters than totally new wacky MUGEN stuff like ROA1.

Nintendo's stuff is free on day 1, or a few years after release if it's their Wii U stuff. I think the first Wii took a year before the Twilight Hack happened.
Let's hope they fuck up again on the Switch 2!

Any bot that doesn't actually use lemmy's "I'm a bot" protocol (so I can hide it completely) gets downvoted. It's the only thing I even bother downvoting on Lemmy.

TTW needs an installed copy of Fallout 3 to rip assets from (it's a New Vegas mod).

Well, there's an oddly existential argument to be made that "funny" AI answers like this or adding a pot of Elmer's Glue to pizza sauce to get the cheese to stick are valued. Simply because those are the posts I've seen from Google AI, and I've never touched the feature myself.
By letting a language "speaker" learn from Reddit and forums, we created an approximation of "that guy who thinks he's a comedian" because that guy is always there and always drowns in upvotes. Clearly, he's a valuable part of the discourse!

Right? Training data is an absurd blob of everything the algorithm can get its hands on. It's like trying to assure that there's no alcohol or coca-cola in a lake.

Yeah, waiting on Hades 1's full release was easy since it was EGS exclusive for the entire early access phase. This one's gonna be harder to dodge until it's done.

If there's a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I've noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.

Almost anyone who works with pathfinder/paizo could have instead worked with D&D/Wizards. Owlcat etc made their choice specifically to not work with Wizards.

The equivalents for Android, precompiled ReVanced APKs, are commonly used to spread malware. Following the instructions to patch the app yourself isn't hard. Google taking down precompiled modded versions of YouTube but leaving patches and the the tools anybody can use to apply them is a neutral thing at worst.
Also I don't see anyone in this thread glad that Google did this, aside from the first half of the joke / fakeout / pun post about IPA beer.

FighterZ is an actually good fighting game in the style of MvC or Street Fighter though, not the same 3d drivel with copy paste movesets and terrible game balance usually associated with anime tie-ins.

I use Paxmod instead. It supports multi-row tabs like old Tab Mix Plus.
Since Reddit is restoring comments from deleted accounts, even if they were overwritten by a script instead of deleted, I was wondering if there were a tool similar to [PowerDeleteSuite](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/#1.4.8) that allowed *not* deleting the original content of the comment. For example, say I left a comment that said: > Great job with this! I'd love an extension that would leave that as: > **Consider leaving Reddit for [Lemmy](https://lemmy.world) or [kbin](https://kbin.social/). Edit added 6/23/2023.** > Great job with this! and do that to all of my prior comments on the site. I doubt that'd be rolled back by the admins the way that deleted comments and obvious script-edited comments are and also turns any comments I've left as tech support (that people might find via [google searches](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/wisdom_of_the_ancients.png)) into an ad to migrate to a federated alternative.
