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.

That giveaway is still going, 4 years later, in case anybody missed it. Of course, I like NiGHTS!

I like chess, but I can’t think that fast. At that speed, I can only do !anarchychess@lemmy.world : push pawns, fork things with knights, always take en passant, and try not to blunder away the queen.

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.

Me too! My weekly stream is becoming more of a yearly stream. My work schedule doesn’t really allow for consistent streams, but maybe that’ll change soon.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, practicing the any% route so I can play it onstream soon.

That’s when I’m not distracted with !Balatro@lemm.ee on my phone.

It doesn’t sound right without that loud game start sound at the beginning. I tried to find it, but the Internet Archive is still mostly down and I don’t know where else to find the game nowadays.

Hey guys! Hey guys! I just got back from my local fighting game group in 2009 and there’s this game I’ve got to show you.

DragonBlast is a pretty solid 2D indie fighting game with 3D models. Usually, the characters are muscular furries. Well, in this video, there’s a joke version called Nico Nico Fighters (ニコニコファイターズ) where all the characters are 2000s-era Japanese internet memes! I’d kill for someone to leak that build to the Internet so I can play it.

Hey guys? Guys! Oh…they left me again.

Spread is brokenly good, but I like playing with Laser too. It feels good to land the entire beam on a boss. Especially in the arcade version, laser kills bosses fast.

Catbox is working fine for me. Below, there should be a video of Scott Kelly in a gorilla suit on the ISS.

As a Yank myself, I actually appreciate that community. Lemmy and Mbin have worldly, logical arguments that wouldn’t get far on an American social media echo chamber. If the rest of the world doesn’t make themselves heard loud and clear, civilization will collapse.

Thank you! And also, thank you for sticking up for us on Reddit and helping the whole community grow. Keep up the good work!

Honestly, my favorite part of running a community is when a new face joins and posts something they like. It doesn’t matter if their posts don’t look like mine. Other people’s posts make me feel like I’m not just posting into the void.

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

Whoa… !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io looks really good in PieFed’s tile views! It’s kind of what I was going for with my CSS. I think PieFed has a ton of potential, and I want to mess around with it more.

@Jerry@hear-me.social, if you just saw a spike of like 1GB of data getting federated in, that was me manually retrieving my first few hundred posts.

Edit: Oops, I tagged the wrong instance admin named Jerry!

Maybe? I looked around, and I couldn’t find anything that stated that we defederated them. I just noticed I couldn’t reach !touhou@ani.social from my own instance, so I checked our defederated communities and found ani.social named there. I wondered if our instance admin blocked them across the entire Jerryverse, but they’re not blocked on his Lemmy instance, his Akkoma instance, or his main Mastodon instance.

I’m OK. !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io is coming along fine. We still have the most threads of any magazine on fedia.io, though the more buoyant !hydrogen@fedia.io will surpass us soon. It helps that I’m not the only one posting, and I’m trying to let others have input on the types of content we post.

Our group of airheads has a lot of crossover with ani.social’s audience, so that took a hit when ani.social got themselves defederated from our instance and others. I’d post to !touhou@ani.social if I could.

Thank you! A thread I just posted made it to Lemmy instances within 15 minutes. The thread that didn’t federate two days ago has found its way there too. Jerry is the best instance admin and Fedia.io is worth paying money for.

No kbin.melroy.org subscribers that I know of. I don’t know where I’d check if I could.

Another Mbin instance kbin.earth federates with us but doesn’t have yesterday’s post right this second. You can cause that post to federate by clicking here to search kbin.earth for that fedia.io URL. A few seconds after someone clicks that link, the post should appear on kbin.earth.

OK, I’m glad it’s not just me. A few days ago, it took about 6 hours to reach Lemmy instances, and a post I made yesterday didn’t federate at all… I was able to get my most recent post to appear on kbin.melroy.org by searching for its fedia.io URL there. I don’t think Lemmy has a similar mechanism, though.
