I quite enjoy using it. Stays out of the way, boots instantly, is very plain looking.

A Fallout 2 3D remake is being worked on by a fan in c/fallout@lemmy.world
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

It will focus on total conversions of the main games. So Miami, Frontier, that mod that's set in Oregon, the Russian one for Fallout 2 (can't remember the name ATM), London, the Van Buren Remake, etc. I've never heard of Fallout 3 in OpenMW but I'll be including that now. That sounds neat.

Problem is I made this list awhile ago and never checked if the projects were active or not. I'll be checking that. But its gonna be anything I've seen that I though looked cool, no matter inactivity or how early in development.

I'll even throw in a mention of similar games like Ashes 2063.

Ah sure, why not. I already have the excel sheet done. I'll throw something together.

I have a list going. There's about 15 major fallout fangame projects right now. I've considered writing an article because there's so many. Hell Fallout: Vault 13 is another one that got some buzz about 2 weeks ago.

Why would he even go? It's like Biden speaking at the green covention. Those people already hate the 2 parties. They aren't gonna go back.

Penkesu is a handheld PC that you can build yourself. (penkesu.computer)
 

I've always been fascinated by these small computers. GPD makes these kinds of devices too. Ordered one once but I never got it. Been thinking of building one myself though I'm worried it would be too small to enjoyable use. I would definitely write on it, that I am sure of.

Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

Last time I tried it there was no view library like Winamp. Nope. At that point just use VLC or MPV.

Winamp is going open source in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 17 points 6 months ago

Very excited by this. Hopefully they go all the way and GPL it. There hasn't been any mp3 player I've enjoyed using as much as Winamp.

A discord client is now available for Windows XP and 2000. Now you can re-live those IRC days...sort of. (github.com)
 

Well discord isn't completely comparable to IRC but the look of that client sure is!

Anyone know any other games similar to the Oracle ones? Already have a few (Anodyne, Lenna's Inception), looking for more. (kbin.social)
 

The Zelda games on the Game Boy and Colour are unique within the Zelda series as a whole. Strange plots, enemies, music, mystery and even gameplay plague the three games. Hell, in Link's Awakening half the enemies are straight up from Super Mario Bros. And the oracle games come with novels and feature interconnected password systems, animal companions (who vary depending on your own actions) and areas unique in any other Zelda games (Subrosia). It's almost as if these 3 games exist in a void unto itself.

I recently watched a playthrough of the Unreal remake of Link's Awakening. Those plus the Oracle games are imo, some of my favourite Zelda games. Anyone know any games similar? I alreayd know of and love Lenna's Inception and Anodyne but I want more. I wrote an article about Link's Awakening and what I call Lozgbc games with a few more listed. Anyone know any other ones I could add?

Nintendo launches lawsuit against the devs of the Switch emulator, Yuzu. (www.theverge.com)
 

Nintendo claims that Yuzu actively assisted in piracy of Tears of the Kingdom. They say that Yuzu violates Nintendo's copyright by decrypting their games to run.

They also claim that "Nintendo also has technological measures on the Nintendo Switch console itself, including additional layers of encryption, which prevent users from unlawfully accessing or modifying the console—including to procure the prod.keys—and from accessing or copying games stored on the console or on a cartridge inserted in the console." - From the actual lawsuit which you can read here: https://www.scribd.com/document/709016504/Nintendo-of-America-Inc-v-Tropic-Haze-LLC-1-24-Cv-00082-No-1-D-R-I-Feb-26-2024

Nintendo claims that Yuzu spoiled Tears of the Kingdom for everyone (not listed as a damage in the lawsuit this is just something they've added on).

This lawsuit bears similarities to the Bleem v. Sony though I'll let you draw your own conclusion if this is comparable.
