How video games help trans people find gender euphoria in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

reason: "games where it doesn't belong" you don't get to decide what an artist does with their art

Oh yes, I decide where it does belong to. As much as you decide what opinion I have and remove my comments. I can decide for myself where it belongs.

For the record, I am not doing what you say. You either didn't understand my comment or whatever the case is here. I am saying that your or others gender should not be a factor deciding how games are developed. The mod log of removed content, in case someone believes what you said. So don't tell people I was forcing my opinion on others: https://beehaw.org/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&userId=442071

Experienced software developers assumed AI would save them a chunk of time. But in one experiment, their tasks took 20% longer in c/programming@programming.dev

League of Legends players worldwide couldn't login for hours because Riot forgot to renew the client's SSL certificate—just like it did 10 years ago in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

Definitely. I was just being sarcastic.

Saying that to an indie studio is mean.

Future generations using Ai to automate this kind of thing will make it even worse probably.

Also lot of handheld options like Steam Deck use AMD as well. Not sure how big of a factor this is overall.

Does Nintendo ban Nintendo accounts opening up eshop from a hacked 3DS / 2DS? in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The servers are not really dead. One can not buy new games, but the Nintendo account is still active and checked for legitimacy, as you can download purchased games. And some other functionality are still working on eshop. My fear is, that a list of games and game IDs are uploaded when connecting.

Does Nintendo ban Nintendo accounts opening up eshop from a hacked 3DS / 2DS? (beehaw.org)
 

Short: I opened up the Nintendo eshop on a hacked 2DS. And didn't realize my brothers main Nintendo account was logged in, as I usually only play offline. Will his account get banned?

Long Question:

I recently hacked my 2DS with https://3ds.hacks.guide/ and installed pirated games on it. And I was curious what would happen if I open the Nintendo eshop, it opened up and to my surprised showed an account and the purchased game. But I never had logged in with an account before.

I quickly realized this is from my brothers account, when I gave him the 2DS a few years ago. He logged in with his main account. It is not possible to remove the account from the 3DS operating system unless a factory reset is done. And that's bad, because this account has a lot of history for him, his Pokemon history and everything that is attached to him. I do not want his account to be banned. My fear is, that a ban wave will occur later.

After reading a bit, I found out that the NNID can be removed with the hacked system. I hope its not too late. Would it be possible for him to reclaim his account in case of a ban?

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Yeah most people are not here to discuss and are toxic, that's why I don't answer to most.

I am not saying the sexual orientation or gender is forced on my, but rather for games where it does not matter should not be a factor of deciding how the game is made. What I mean is in example Marvel Rivals, people want trans characters added to it. And that has implications for gameplay and such. In example there are very popular characters from Marvel universe that could be added and needed too, in specific gameplay features. But if the gender is a deciding factor, then it affects gameplay decisions of developers.

Or in games like Zelda, people want a character where you can set the gender. But this has huge implications for the story and also requires lot of work for no real benefit, other than your gender being different. Nobody should care in games about your personal gender, its not about you.

And on a personal experience in the forums, what's really bad is, if developers don't do it, then those people get toxic and attack everyone in the communities for not doing it. Also spamming at every post about this, even if its offtopic.

However I can understand asking for this in games where you roleplay you as a character, or even if there is a character creator. Especially in games like Cyberpunk it makes 100% sense to include these as options. So I am not talking about those kind of games.

New FreeTube fork with Save video playback speed setting for each channel separately (github.com)
 

The announcement reply in the (from original developers rejected) Feature Request issue: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4447#issuecomment-3697918113

And the repository: https://github.com/D3SOX/FreeTube

And for Arch users in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetube-git-d3sox

There is a new fork of FreeTube that implements a (at least by me) long wished feature: Save video playback speed setting for each channel separately. He plans to do a Flatpak version maybe and its already in the AUR.

I personally have trust issues to run unknown forks and rely on them, for security and other reasons. So for now I won't use it unfortunately. But maybe someone else is interested.

SuperTux 0.7.0 BETA 1 (www.supertux.org)
 

SuperTux is a classic side scrolling platformer, very old game at this point. The code is Open Source (or if you prefer the term "Libre").

I just played it last year a bit on my Steam Deck and remember trying the game out years ago on my old laptop and before that, it was one of the first Linux games I ever tried in early 2000s from Live CDs. I digress. :D

This game is also available on Steam, but they last updated it there 4 years ago and this new update is not included: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1572920/SuperTux/ Presumably because the new version is still a beta. You can download the new updated version directly from Github: https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux/releases/tag/v0.7.0-beta.1

The Secrets of Sega Channel: VGHF recovers over 100 Sega Channel ROMs (and more) (gamehistory.org)
 

Our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel — including over 100 new Sega Channel ROMs.

By Phil Salvador

December 15, 2025

Sega broke ground in the late 90s with one of the first digital game distribution systems for consoles. Sega Channel offered access to a rotating library of Sega Genesis titles, along with game tips, demos, and even a few exclusive games that never came out in the United States in any other format. In an era of dial-up internet, Sega Channel delivered game data over television cable — a novel approach that gave the service its name.

no wonder he is the most sued actor in history [note: Sacha Baron Cohen] by Du Cinema - Nov 18, 2025 (Video documentary, 14:26 min) (inv.nadeko.net)

Video description (only relevant parts of description):

Sacha Baron Cohen. He’s the man behind Borat, Bruno, Ali G, The Dictator, and the show Who Is America. He’s been banned from countries, kicked out of hotels, chased by angry mobs, and sued more times than any other actor in Hollywood. But beneath the mankini, the fake accents, and the absurd disguises, is one of the most important comedians of our time. Because what he is doing is not just comedy. He is exposing people to reveal who they really are. So today, let’s dive into the career of Sacha Baron Cohen. The most sued actor in history… and maybe one of the most important satirists of the 21st century.

[Epilepsy issue] YouTube AI Filter Is Making My Videos Dangerous To Watch by Anton Petrov - Oct 26, 2025 (Video, 6:09 min) (inv.nadeko.net)

For whatever reason, Google seems to use an Ai filter that does not work correctly and glitches. If you have an epilepsy issue, don't watch this video. At some point he shows what it looks like and it could trigger you.

How I View the US After 13 Years Living in Europe by Evan Edinger - Oct 6, 2025 [Video, 24:40 min] (inv.nadeko.net)

As a European, I am interested into views and experiences like these. I had a few (distant, not really close) friends in my life who came over from the US, Japan and even China to work in Germany for years and then leave again. Off course we talked about the gun rights and all of them hated this right. Unfortunately I never had deep discussions about this topic, only on the surface. And I really regret not getting deeper into this topic.

The first topic of this video is about guns. I wish more people would watch this video. To me the gun rights in the US is like a brainwashing. Even if you disallow arms and guns in the US, its already widespread that this problem would take decades to be resolved. OK end of my initial thoughts. I am still on the first topic watching it right now. :D

The Worst Bug In Games Is Now Gone Forever by Two Minute Papers [Video, 11:41 min] (inv.nadeko.net)

YouTube: https://youtu.be/VOORiyip4_c

The video talks about a new paper in a techniqe to eliminate clipping of vectors. The only problem is, it is extremely computational expensive. I compare this to RayTracing, which will be viable in the future only if all the tools implement it. I assume the hardware chips that support RayTracing could be used for this new technology too, but that is just my personal assumption here.

I left the original title of the video, as it would be editorial otherwise.
