Hey Linux folks, have an issue with drag-and-drop from dolphin into other apps. Seems like a permissions issue; I can drag-and-drop stuff from ~/Downloads, but not ~/Pictures and not (crucially) /mnt/data which is my workspace folder. All have the same ownership and access permissions it looks like.

It's a bit early but screw it, I'm going to bed

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" Along with Andrew Davis/Shih Tzu, I unleashed the original English version of Cave Story upon the world

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I really like Fedora, but there's... issues. Always seems like something. My laptop's integrated nic doesn't work great (I get inconsistent speeds) and the solution is "buy a USB adapter." Two-finger scroll stopped working yesterday until reboot. Minor, but feels like there's always a problem.

anyone know how i can legally get every single one of my contributions removed from this dipshit's dead website? i would like to retroactively revoke any and all rights RHDN might have to archive or distribute my work

I'm going to go lie down and try to mood cleanse with a game.

Can't even go one freaking Christmas without major drama getting stirred up by the chuds over at rhdn. Sigh. I'm so goddamn tired of all this.

Yeah, the rules stuff may have been me even - I ate a silent ban for essentially asking what was going on with the site, and those magically updated shortly afterward.

I replied to that one guy that posted your patch in the Splatterworld thread to voice how disrespectful his actions were, and my post was kept in limbo so it never went public since I'm a new account there. I decided to check again today and see if it ever went live, and they quietly deleted it...

Here at @romhack.ing, we honor takedown requests without any hassle. Just let us know you don't want it hosted here and *poof*, it's gone.

This has apparently already happened to several people I chat with on discord, including at least one other prominent romhacker. Stay classy!

for comparison, here are the previous terms, which the site operated under for quite a while without issues archive.ph/X0ML1 NC banned most of the former site staff (for telling him what he was doing was insane), and then he proceeded to host staff's new translations/hacks w/o approval. cool guy

romhacking.net updated their TOS so that in a situation where, if you do not want your work hosted by their site, and someone uploads it anyway the site owner, nightcrawler, personally requires you to send him photos of yourself, and he "may" retain them for as long as he likes :) archive.ph/0B750

So, uh, between it bugging you for updates and this forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.ph... I'm absolutely sick to death of filezilla's garbage. Any recommendations for a replacement that works well on fedora kde plasma?

So, uh, linux folks? I have a mesh network in my home, base + one satellite, and my nic (qualcomm qcnfa765, which is soldered onto my motherboard) keeps bouncing between the two every few seconds. This is me attempting to download a file with transfer speeds measured over a period of about 1 minute.

The most highly anticipated Saturn translation has arrived! Yes, Airs Adventure is out in English, just in time to liven the holidays!! Credits: @hitomi2500.bsky.social - Hacking @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games - Translation @nichetopic.bsky.social - Graphics @blueskyrunner.bsky.social - QA

oh my god

on a completely unrelated note to lrt, i think there has never been a better time for a certain publisher who is hoarding the ip to said doujin game to be relentlessly and collectively bullied into returning it to its rightful owner a gross historic wrong they robbed it from him in the first place

The "father of indie games" is a japanese dude who dropped a doujin game that changed the brain chemstry of several people when it got fan translated. Thanks

I keep seeing lots of folks raving about how good Void Stranger is, then I keep seeing "sokoban" in its description and immediately go "ehhhhhhhh" and get put off.

As it's been a bit since I posted anything about it, getting something nicer out for Namco X Capcom is still in the works, just something I hop in to work away on in between other things is all. Some newer screenshots below!

Had to build mesen2 from scratch (appimage link is busted and the binary on git throws a std::bad_cast error when running it) but I got it working at least...

🚨 From this ROM dump, the community has assembled a working development build of the unreleased port of Popils for the NES. More unfolding live! www.youtube.com/live/RJwR8jX...

Hey, anyone with Wayland/Dolphin experience, I'm unable to drag-and-drop files onto executables in Dolphin. Anyone know how to fix this? Example: Can't drop splatterworld.nes onto 010editor (Executable) More practical example: Can't drop splatterworld.nes onto yy-chr.exe (opens with Wine)

Hey! Are you gifted in piecing together game data? I'm going to need help during this live stream today! I'm putting raw EPROMs in a public folder, but need help piecing them together. Systems are NES, GEN, SNES, GB, GG, Jag. There are new unreleased games here! www.youtube.com/live/RJwR8jX...

Stream tonight is unlikely - migrating to linux (Fedora KDE Plasma) and still have some things in the system that need to be worked out. Like sound. (Sound works, just not through the displaylink dock I have...)

holy shit guys

Man, Verho: Curse of Faces is *super good*. If you need to scratch a King's Field itch absolutely buy in, *highly* recommended.

Hello from Fedora 43 KDE Plasma!

@hantani.bsky.social Enjoying Angeline Era so far but if I might offer a quick suggestion/feature request? List the current level name and scale status somewhere in the pause menu; I often find myself forgetting to see if a level has a scale or not as it starts, then have no way of checking after.

No stream tonight, I don't really have anything shortish prepared and I need to cook besides. I am planning to do some srw4 work though!

Milano's Odd Job Collection, our revival of a gorgeous pixel art PS1 game from 1999, is now out on all platforms!

@insertcredit.com man y'all really forgot about "Is this Frog Fractions 2" for the Rick Astley of videogames?

Aw yeah here we go

Might as well bump this for the evening crowd a few days later, if y'all haven't heard yet

This is such a powerful image

Man, this is one absolutely rocking remix of Monstania's first battle theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn3D...

It's Bandcamp Friday. Please buy Ian's music.

Hey, so, some tool has uploaded both Splatterworld and Paranoiascape to RHDN. I'm still banned there and consequently do not want my latest stuff there. So, if y'all could spam their pages with edits and noncompliant requests to get them taken down, it'd be appreciated. Links in the next post.

Oh, and for those who might be interested for whatever reason, I *will* be open-sourcing the Splatterworld patch at some point in the near-to-mid-term future. The python is a bit messy though and I want to clean it up first, plus add some extra instructions on getting a dev env up and running.

Without spoiling anything for folks who are just starting the game Splatterworld does something *incredibly* cool and subtle with its overarching narrative. Something I don't think I've seen in many, if any, other games. I worked directly with the game's text and I still needed it pointed out to me.

I tested this on the Analogue Pocket with three different roms that I patched myself, ines (romfix), Fixed Header (Namco 175, Mapper 210, Submapper1), and (FCEUX). All worked in OpenFPGA NES, Spiritualized 1.0.2, RndMKIII 1.1.0, and the agg23 + Terminator2k2 one: metalgamesolid.com/fpga/analogu...

We did a thing! My first RPG translation is 1: Of an unreleased game, 2: in one of my favorite franchises, and 3: with a rom hacker that partially inspired me getting into translation in the first place. Super proud to have helped bring this out in *checks notes* just over a month!
