GBA ‘Mega Man Mania’ Collection Is Being Brought Back To Life By Fans, Two Decades After Its Cancellation -- Retro Gaming News 24/7 ( www.retronews.com )

Fans of the Mega Man series were excited about the announcement of Mega Man Mania for the GBA in 2004, as it offered a modern-day collection of the classic Game Boy Mega Man games. Unfortunately, the project was canceled shortly after. However, fans are now reviving this idea and working on remastering and coloring the original...

If this project gets finished this might be how I finally play a Mega Man game for the first time.

Outrage over ‘massacre’ in Gaza as Israel rescued four hostages ( www.theguardian.com )

At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation....

Shut the fuck up.

Numerous investigations by the UN and the US have conceded that they have no reason to doubt Gaza Health Ministry's estimates. Or were the thousands of identified names carefully documented, reported, and accepted by the global majority not good enough for you?

Shut the fuck up again.

Dang, I don't like heavy use of the shoulder buttons as those tend to be the first to go. I do want to check it out. As far as fullscreen goes, not sure, but maybe it's two different resolution options like with Virtual Console games?

This also set a huge precedent for legal cases around AI image generation, didn't it? Since that also falls under "works not created by a human" and are therefore not copyrightable. We could have been dealing with a much bleaker AI art law situation than we have today because of this funny monkey photo case.

"Under the Silver Lake" explanation

Okay so the explanation for "Under the Silver Lake" was so obvious (I thought) that I was waiting for the reveal, and then it never came, and then I looked up explanations online, and they also didn't arrive at the same explanation. So with significant spoilers in mind, here is my theory:...

graymess ,

I'm glad people got something out of the movie and enjoyed pouring through it for secrets, but I'm firmly in the camp of none of it is supposed to make sense and have an answer, but people will assign meaning to any little mundane thing they find and that's the point.

graymess ,

The rare xkcd I find charming and relatable rather than charming and arcane.

graymess ,

Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I'll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.

graymess ,

After Oblivion, I really wished I had the option to quick load my last save.

graymess ,

Israel wholly owns the US. It would be humiliating to the Biden administration if they weren't in on the deal. Upholding the military industrial complex is priority number one for every president in history. Literally nothing is more important.

graymess ,

This is unreal. I'm looking forward to a new wave of modern ports for N64 games I missed.

graymess ,

Don't need qualified immunity if there are no cops left.

graymess ,

Just copy-paste from the bottom username.

graymess ,

lol right. The secret service, FBI, and every other agency in the country with the express objective of maintaining the status quo are just gonna let a president get killed. This isn't the 60s.

graymess ,

When he's no longer president, he'll still have secret service agents guarding him with their lives 24/7. He's the safest man on the planet.

graymess ,

This is fucking nonsense. You don't need to be at "president orders legal hits on political rivals" level of corrupt for a country's electoral system to be in absolute shambles.

But holy shit do we have a ton of big actual nightmare problems in the US to worry about, and the health and safety of its eldest active war criminal is easily near the bottom of the pile. You know what, I hope you're right. I hope Biden is fucking terrified for his life. Maybe that will scare him into doing the one god damn thing he needs to do to get elected.

graymess ,

I agree with the titties.

Death to America

graymess ,

This rules. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure that first bit of advice is a good blanket policy, but it depends on who's deciding how significant a negative trait must be to constitute a red flag. Some will take this advice to mean you should expect nothing short of perfection and that's just unrealistic. If you walk away from every flaw you find, you'll be alone. My partner and I have been together 13 years. We are well aware of each other's flaws, so we work on them and do what we can to mitigate the impact they have on our relationship. But we also both know that if either of us does something egregious that crosses the line, that ends the relationship. Unconditional love is stupid. There should always be conditions.

Anyway, I think it's useful to pair that advice with "know what your red flags are" so you can identify and separate the imperfections from the deal breakers.

graymess ,

Israel, motherfucker. Read some history.

graymess ,

Honestly hard to tell. But I apologize if I had it wrong. Just a whole lot of dismissal of actual genocide in this post.

graymess ,

Seeing what hits top from politics@lemmy.world lately, I believe it.

graymess ,

This is one of those ideas I'd love to agree with, but I know the reality of the situation would mean negative consequences for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, just like how current ID systems are now.

graymess ,

Really clever. Probably not "legal."

My mom and I walked out of Jurassic Park 3 and into Artificial Intelligence and we weren't the only ones. To this day, I haven't seen all of either film, but after seeing Jurassic World maybe I was too harsh on JP3. I remember quite liking what I saw of AI. I should rewatch it from the start.

You gotta pay to be at a coffee house. And sure, coffee isn't terribly expensive and most places won't kick you out even hours after you've bought your single cup of coffee, but non-Starbucks coffee shops are usually tiny and in some places hard to find.

graymess ,

Socially unacceptable? Every person I've ever worked with does this or has done this regularly at some point in their lives. There's a reason Starbucks is everywhere. No offense, but I wish this triggered more shame in people. Instead, it's normal behavior.

graymess ,

I love the stuff. Wish good quality black licorice was cheaper. I guess you pay for being a niche customer base.

Dragon Stone Shrine looks weirdly gorgeous for a Ninjago set. Not that Ninjago has bad sets, they just seem to be designed for play mostly. The details in the rocks look like the kind of techniques I only see in advanced MOCs, not official stuff.

Actually, a lot of these sets seem like MOCs for better or worse. The Earth orbit set has that function-over-form aesthetic that Lego leans away from. And something about the Stitch set feels like a Lego Ideas submission before the inhouse redesign. Can't put my finger on why.

8bitdo Pro 2 controller with multiple Android devices

Hopefully someone on here has the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller and can answer my question: can it connect to Android-devices on more than just the A-channel on the 4-way bluetooth connection? I have two Android devices that i would like to have connected so I can just change the 4-way bluetooth slider to connect, is this possible?...

graymess ,

Sorry, I don't really have a definite answer I can say from experience. But I think what might be an option if one of your Android devices is a streaming box: Maybe use an 8bitdo USB adapter? That way the controller connects to the adapter via whatever channel that uses and to your other device via Bluetooth.

I'm also replying because I'm curious about options for this kind of setup. Personally, I'd love a controller that can connect to multiple consoles and devices without needing to re-pair. Just pushing a button and changing from my PC to my Switch or Android streaming box. Really wish the All Controller was a success or at least had a successor. One controller for your living room and you're set for all past and present devices.

graymess ,

I believe that D-Input will connect, but works on a per app basis for Android. So if your game or emulator doesn't support it, it won't work. I guess that's true of X-Input, too, but that's been the dominant controller API for many years. I could imagine some apps supporting X-Input controllers only.

graymess ,

Now I'm thinking you don't even need the USB adapter to connect to both your Android devices. The Android mode is probably just another X-Input Bluetooth channel.

graymess ,

Right. Law enforcement, defenders of democracy.

graymess ,

Vending machines used to get vandalized at my school. How much tech are they putting in these things now?

graymess ,

It's such a buzzkill to lose a race because you took a turn you shouldn't have after blazing through the first 3/4 of it in first. For a game that requires twitch reactions at high speeds, it certainly was a choice to make players have to constantly take their eyes off the road to find the map.

graymess ,

Literally who is voting Republican over Gaza? And before you say it, no. Not engaging with a two party election in which both candidates support genocide is not the same as voting for the one you don't like.

graymess ,

If both parties are going to genocide Arabs while they're in charge, the blood is on their hands and no one else's. Only assholes and morons will blame Arabs in the US for the massacre of Palestinians.

graymess ,

If these are going to be the new minifig blind boxes, what's been the best way to buy a full set? This will likely be the first and only time I want to do that lol.

graymess ,

Thanks for the info!

graymess ,

I replayed the first one on OpenGOAL last year and it's amazing how good it still looks at higher resolutions. Jak II is fully playable now and I'm planning to start that as soon as someone releases an HD texture pack.

graymess ,

Broken. 🤷

Aw, that's fuckin adorable. Thank you.

graymess ,

What a weird comment. As if Congress isn't universally despised by antiwar activists. Let me know how else protestors can feasibly make demands directly to an entire branch of government that isn't just one person.

graymess ,

Well, obviously. The audience was there to see Biden because they presumably like him. You think the protestors were going to suddenly win over his strongest supporters after yelling for accountability from their hero? Biden, the audience, and the press covering the event weren't getting what they wanted to hear, but they needed to hear it.

graymess ,

lmao, really!? The "it's not appropriate" argument?

Please let the protestors there know when they can reach Biden in their home town at a more reasonable occasion.

Texas "physically barred" Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say ( www.cbsnews.com )

A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.

graymess ,

I'm not particular.
