I keep seeing this term “Tankies” on Lemmy, but I’ve only ever seen it on Lemmy. I can’t tell if you mean people who wear tank-tops, or people who drive tanks. Neither one makes sense given the context of this, or other threads I’ve seen the term in.

Starting to think it’s a slur of some kind, but I don’t see who it would be against.

…what? You’re on Lemmy. THIS is Lemmy. I don’t get what you mean. Or maybe you don’t get what you mean?

Inverted alcoholics have this problem…I guess…

If you go through life looking for things to take offense, you will always be outraged.

This is what I tell my sister. She got angry at me for hanging my hats on these little hooks that hang off of closet doors. I have many hats, and not much room. She got mad that the outside of my closet door had hats on it.

Well…you COULD try listening to the outsiders…but only Kevin Nash. Scott Hall already passed away.

“China fakes everything”

and

“Adam ruins everything”

To which both I ask…orgasms?

Have you looked into Miyo Mini+?

Hey now…maybe we should play his favorite song in his honor! He’s a boomer, so I know just the tune!

starts playing another one bites the dust

I found the white one at a local games reseller shop. I wish it were the DMG grey, as that’s what my Miyo Mini is (small size). If you’re near Cleveland, wanna trade?

Maaaaaaaaaaan, I installed OnionOS on my Mini+ a few weeks ago. Imported half of my roms (still working on it), and then literally 3 days after I did that, OnionOS has an update. Since the Mini+ has wifi, I should be allowed to just say “Update over wifi”, and that’s the only step. Make sure you have a charged battery, press update, and let it go.

Not sure I’ll manually update until there’s something major. I’m not going through the effort to go from 4.3.0 to 4.3.1.

I mean…yes?

They have a fork of the web. Its called the dark web. They use it to sell hookers and drugs.

My main PC is Windows 7. About 10 years ago I remember I had to do something with the firewall. I remember turning it off. I legit do not remember if I turned it back on.

Because I don’t like Windows 10, and Windows 11 seems like a privacy nightmare.

Could you install older windows systems on a single board x86? Like maybe xp? Or windows 7?

He’s not exclusively N64, he covers a wide array of topics, but you could probably find a few decent videos from The Gaming Historian.

Same thing with Nintendrew, and MetalGamerJesus.

Edit: Sorry, I had the wrong name. His name is actually MetalJesusRocks. Brain fart!

Keep doing it. Especially niche titles.

You think I can find tv shows like greg the bunny, or clerks the animated series? And then TV shows start retroactively saying whats ok to show and whats not. Then pulling the episodes from streaming.

Or maybe the rights run out, and no other streaming picks it up.

Found a small part of the problem.

Physical media is dying because the majority of people think just as short sighted as businesses do. Businesses think in short term thoughts like quarters. They do so because investers want immediate return.

But why would you as a person not want physical media??? I literally bought a George Carlin dvd of one of his HBO specials 2 days ago. It was traded into a local resale shop as “used”. It was brand new, because even though the plastic wrap was gone, the adhesive label at the top was still unbroken. Brand new dvd. $3.

When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?

Well not ANYMORE!!! Not since Best Buy stopped carrying physical media!!!

It’s not that they had no confidence. It’s that they took Nintendos approach on hardware. Sell low at a loss, and make the money on software.

Problem is, you could pirate every single game on dreamcast. Just get a legit copy of the game (renting, buying and returning, borrow from a friend), and have a CD burner.

Then you could make a 1:1 copy of the game in roughly an hour. As the year 2000 went on, websites even made it easier by posting the game files for download. If you didn’t have broadband (many didn’t at the time. Most had 56k), you could go to your local library and carry a USB stick.

So every console sold cost them money. And the software was performing abysmally. Plus, PS2 was right around the corner. XBox was an unknown, and Gamecube was assumed to do better than it did.

From a console war perspective, the year 2001 may have been the most competitive year EVER for video games.
