Mr Penguin

Anyone who thinks the "ribbon" in Microsoft Office is somehow better is nuts and three lines to indicate a file menu is also just as crappy (looking at you Firefox). This insistence on hiding critical functionality in "modern" UI design started with Microsoft as far as I can tell around 2003. Yes- it pre-dates the "ribbon" by a long time. All I can say is LibreOffice is the FAR superior choice. Not because they offer a "ribbon"-like interface obviously, but because they offer a traditional user interface that actually works.

There is a reason people have been driven to GNU/Linux more and more with each passing year. Besides it getting better it's primarily shitty decisions by the "tech" industry, ie Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.

Segagaga finally got a translation

https://retrorgb.com/segagaga-fan-translation-is-available-now.html

It's MTL, but it seems like it's an MTL with care and extensive QA, at the very least

Did You Know Gaming just released a documentary on the WonderSwan a few days back and it got me thinking that there should be a revival of handhelds that adopt Yokoi's design philosophy.

For a while, I've had an idea of a handheld system that can be played with one hand. The d-pad or analog stick would be on the front face of the handheld and the buttons would be on the side.

I have no plans on making it, but I think there is still a market for dedicated handhelds like this. The only handheld that is doing anything like this is the Playdate and from what I can tell, it isn't very cheap.

Supper Mario Broth

In Super Mario Sunshine, whenever Mario is wet, he will drip small droplets of water. This is not cosmetic; in fact, Wet Mario is so powerful he can defeat the game's first boss entirely by dripping on it, skipping obtaining FLUDD altogether.

Schrödinger's Catgirl (Joyce)

A friend, @chloetankahhui has been speaking up against the proposal to enforce age verification at the OS level, and the QRTs to this shows the extent of naivety that a lot of people have.

No one who does hardware security believes that any system is bulletproof, but do you really think that circumventing these things will always be a simple firmware mod or hardware hack?

Let's dive in. /1

Minecraft Console Edition's code got leaked on 4chan apparently, and this guy ported it over to PC with KBM support.

apparently it doesn't yet have support for saving worlds or multiplayer, but still a pretty cool thing.

@djsumdog I don't know any particular fedi users but I remember some astrology schzios predicting this. Something about the Saturn-Neptune alignment being associated with events like this.

@beardalaxy You can explore the entire thing in one trip as you do it with scuba gear, but you need a professional certificate if you want to explore the bottom, but there is not much there.

It's been on my bucket list ever since I've heard about it because I love being underwater and it feels like something out of a video game level (it reminds me of the city portion of Wet-Dry World in SM64) or a dream. I've always had dreams of being in flooded buildings where you can actually do stuff underwater, so this place excites me.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go one day or if not, a similar attraction opens up somewhere else. But of course it's Dubai and the UAE is America's other Middle Eastern ally, so it doesn't look like I would be going there anytime soon. I think there is a similar place in Belgium, but it doesn't have that much scenery.
