This is Joel Pett’s cartoon for the USA Today on December 13, 2009. It’s the highlight of his career, and yet still it hasn’t reached the people who need to see it most.

Bad Apple!! by Alstroemeria Records featuring nomico

Hey now, that burning parachute is helping a little. You’ll only break your legs.

I like CSAs! That’s exactly the kind of post-capitalist rebellion we need right now.

But in reality, I rely on processed foods more than I’d like to admit. I don’t think CSAs can send me pizzas. Until I change myself enough, I’ll continue to eat pizza, but I won’t buy pizza from Papa John’s.

I’m American, and I’ve been trying to boycott Trump donors for several years. They’re hard to avoid, especially with food, but it’s possible. The way my country is falling to fascism makes me sick. I feel bad paying my taxes because I know my tax money is funding this garbage too.

There’s more evidence for Trump being the literal Antichrist than there is for him following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I asked Kagi’s LLM AI about this and here’s what it said:

Whether there is more evidence for Donald Trump being the Antichrist than for him following the teachings of Jesus Christ is subjective and depends on the interpretation of biblical texts and the definition of “evidence.”

Some argue that Trump fulfills biblical descriptions of the Antichrist, pointing to his political actions and public image 12. Others, including some Christians, dismiss the idea that Trump is the Antichrist 34. Some believe the Antichrist will appear as a supporter of Christianity 2. Conversely, some equate the unjust persecution of Trump to the crucifixion of Christ 5.

The first letter of John refers to “many antichrists” 6. Some sources suggest that the idea of Trump as the Antichrist became more prominent during his presidency 7.

Thank you for your response. It makes sense that Lemmy’s mod staff are on the defensive lately, just like we are. I didn’t think of Lemmy.world having a support page, and I probably should have appealed there instead.

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.

Here’s the sketch.

Yup, Japan says it’s ass-key.

A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I’d be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn’t about emulation.

I bet !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I’d look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.

Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, !Balatro@lemm.ee is the only safe bet I have.

Oh! I didn’t know it was actually against the game’s code of conduct to ram like this. In that case, ramming is breaking a rule, and the offender should be reported and punished. What is the punishment for ramming like this, anyway? Is this win taken away from them?

If the developers don’t want players to ram each other, that rule should be enforced by the game itself. Either don’t have realistic collisions between players, or prevent cars from going offroad after a collision, or instantly take away the offender’s money or points.

Fighting game tournaments usually allow everything that’s possible in the game engine, but there are exceptions like intentionally crashing the game.

Welcome to the real world.

Look, I come from fighting games and not racing games, so this actually looks OK to me. The goal is to win the race by hook or crook, and you are expected to use every means at your disposal to win. It’s dirty play, but it isn’t against the rules, and you should expect all of your serious opponents to ram you in this situation.

It’s like snaking in Mario Kart DS. It’s a weird counter-intuitive mechanic that makes you go faster by powersliding constantly, even on straightaways. If you’re playing without snaking, you’re not really playing Mario Kart DS.

Megaupload. It was like the Library of Alexandria burning down. Not just pirated stuff, either.

Tekken? Nah. It’s a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.

You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.

• Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.

• Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band’s worth of instruments.

• I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.

• And that’s not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.

• RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.

Moments like this make me think Mike DeWine isn’t dumb enough or evil enough to actually be a Republican. He actually has a soul and he’ll make his own party double-down on transphobia if they’re so committed to it. We should’ve still impeached him for screwing up the March 2020 primary election, though.

Check each game’s entry on PCGamingWiki. They’re a good resource for finding what it takes to get old games running well on modern PCs. A lot of times, the answer is either “buy it on Steam and use a community-made patch” or “buy it on GOG”.

I’m curious, what games are you trying to get working?
