They should do an Underswap AU but for the real world. I propose:

Milei is the president of Canada

Senegal is called Guinea and you have four countries called Senegal

Australian Labor and UK Labour switch places

Singapore doesn't exist but there's an equally succesful city-state in Central Asia

India has 20 Trillion GDP

Taking suggestions!

In the Japanese version of Mario Kart World, the "SPECIAL test of skill" missions are named "Even the Mario Kart staff were surprised!", a reference to the name of the Way Cool course from the Special Zone in Super Mario World. This is why the SPECIAL is in all caps in English.

y’know i like pac-man world as much as the next weirdo but something that disappoints me about the series is how it fails to honor the speed and precision of the original arcade games. like, the games are kinda just linear 3D platformers that play on the slower side, have a lack of threat from enemies, and no requirement that you be precise with your movement, all of the things pac-man notably isn’t

omg I'm reading this dumb twitter article but can't continue because I'm laughing too hard at this diagram. Like, using this as a definition of an intelligent system then crashing into the fucking rocks because you don't know wtf a lighthouse is.

I love how much they decided to just. fuck around with the title in the Ridge Racer series, like, they were like hmm, what if we just use other words that start with R and end with E? let's make Rave Racer and Rage Racer

and then they're like. let's just do one where the main title is just "R4", and it's not just Ridge Racer 4, no, it's Ridge Racer *Type* 4, the fourth type of Ridge Racer, whatever that means

now lets do one that's just called R:Racing, that makes sense

I love it so much lmao

moderation in volunteer-run projects
Show content

I hope this won’t need to be discussed, however

I really don’t think we should ditch a service ran by a non profit just because they generally refuse to moderate based on off-site behavior (and especially based on screenshots).

Or based on one sentence from a single moderator replying to a thread consisting mostly of various forms of “so you’re intentionally letting abusive users be on the platform?”

I am not exaggerating with the previous paragraph, I will not elaborate on where this happened, but if it’s about you just calm down and think how it sounds. You won’t get anywhere by starting a conversation with accusations and an assumption of bad faith, people will just get defensive and/or stop listening to you.

Running a public service means you get a lot of moderation reports, and handling them well is really hard, time consuming, and sometimes soul-crushing. You often can’t make perfect decisions, just tradeoffs.
A factor in making those decision is avoiding moderator burnout, something which commercial platforms often don’t bother with and instead solve by churning through desperate contract workers and leaving them with lifelong PTSD after. You can imagine why this doesn’t work for volunteer-run projects.

TL;DR: please let’s not burn down a volunteer run platform for not being perfect especially when they’re really trying to do well and the alternatives literally have CEOs bootlicking nazis

I just received a spam email from a hosting company that's rolling out an "AI" powered system administrator tool.

It "connects to your server via SSH and acts as an intelligent operator".

Um. Wow. This is really something.

Yeah, sure, let's all plug non-deterministic algorithms with high error rates into our servers with root access and let them run wild.

After all - what could go wrong? You know, besides literally everything.

shroomie/joan (of the agaric system)

@fluttergirly hey do you have any suggestions for games that are like ridge racer 3d but are on systems that are a little easier to emulate than the 3ds? also, know that a game’s style isn’t super important to me, so while you might like trackmania turbo more than the others, i’m probably gonna choose the others over turbo because it is “better” in the pc side of things
