Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.

is it called “Seáns Bar” by any chance? 😁
a friend invited me to play a boardgame online, called Kingdomino. I really loved it, and since money is tight, I made my own copy of the tiles for in-person play.
They aren’t perfect by any means and it took a fucking age to do them, but it’s a playable version I can bust out with friends and family.
There is a vast untapped natural gas field southwest of sevastopol. On top of giving Russia another warm water port, it also gives them rights over the slarwa of the black sea where the gas field is. the argument has been made that this was the reasoning behind the Crimean annexation in 2014.
there’s some really great mini documentaries on YouTube above the Soviet internet of the 1960s, which would have taken over as the central planning committee and managed the supply and demand automatically. When you look at what it was supposed to be, and why it failed (a lot of people worked very hard to make sure it wouldn’t succeed) it’s really interesting stuff.
here’s one I watched recently enough about it; [https://youtu.be/cLOD5f-q0as?si=D8mVJiK603HPdgKY](Asianometry - Why the Soviet Internet Failed)
While Denys can often provide good coverage on Ukraine, I suggest avoiding him, as at the outbreak of the situation in Gaza and Israel, he shared many videos of Palestinian kids and women running from artillery under the captions like “watch how the roaches scatter”.
They make those for runners, a kind of neoprene sleeve that holds your phone on your arm either outside or inside so you can use it while you run. They’re fairly easy to find.
As for pulling it off, you just have to wear it and not give a shit. that’s the secret to pulling it off.
God damn I love communist propaganda art style. there used to be a subreddit for sharing it on reddit, is there anything similar on Lemmy?
Bobb fingers is also one half of the Irish musical comedy duo Rubberbandits. they’ve done some TV stuff and their music and wit is great.
It’s a rehash of a meme about math it’s not really making thee points in earnest.
I will absolutely check those out too, thanks for sharing!
I really love Interactive Fiction, this is definitely going on right on top of my to-play pile. Hopefully I can get it running with android as I’m in SE Asia ATM with no laptop/desktop. Eager to dive in!
What tools do you use to develop these games?
Goldenaxe on Sega was one of my all time favorites growing up, though I never beat it. Close second was Revenge of the Shinobi, also never beat it. I know we’ve gotten a new streets of rage recently but I would love to see a new release for goldenaxe!
That’s a pretty common turn-of-phrase in Ireland, I remember hearing it in the early 90s!, and it’s still common to hear it from older generations too. I wouldn’t equate it with reddit slang/culture at all. I wonder when it made its way to reddit?
That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing the link. This federation idea is really interesting to me. It’s something I discussed a lot with friends several years ago; how to implement a social network where your data and content is in your own hands, we never came up with a clean solution for it but Lemmy is a fantastic step in the right direction and makes me really excited to see how it will evolve.
Yeah that’s a really good point I hadn’t considered; it would have been smarter to have a bot to block users, at least until such a time as there’s service level tools for tiered federation, so for example to allow read-only federation. That might be useful to allow content to propagate but restrict access for posting to local or wrute-allowed federated instances. I’m not sure if that is something that Lemmy as a whole wants to implement, I haven’t dug into the ethos too deeply yet.
To play devil’s advocate for a minute, they’re main points was that moderation actions right now are disproportionately focused on users coming from here and sh.itjust.works, and that the suite of available mod tools is not robust enough for them to handle such a high volume.
I don’t think defederation was the right idea, personally but I don’t think it was the wrong one from their point of view either. They’re trying to intentionally cultivate a culture over there rather than to moderate over an evolving one, and at the moment its too much work for them with the high volume of users. They don’t appear to have any ill-will against this instance as a whole or you. We can disagree with the decision but still respect it as their choice to make.
In the future if their internal culture solidifies I imagine they can refederate with us here; by that time we might have established our own communities to rival the high quality ones over there (gaming and technology) I can see already that lemmyworld is growing pretty well and has a load of communities that are start to thrive!
And one day your child will grow and cut theirs into rectangle, the circle of sandwich life continues.
PersonallyI I cut mine into irregular polyhedrons.
