The ones in the sidebar are probably your best bet. !retronet@lemmy.sdf.org and !smallweb@lemmy.ml look like they share mostly the same purpose as this one.
I’m wondering if the fediverse in general (but especially Lemmy) would benefit from some kind of “fediverse help wanted” board for moderators, donations, technical help, etc.
edit: People who run a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/etc instance might be hanging out in the Matrix chat room for the software they are running; that might already serve this purpose.
I’ve never actually used it, but Faircamp caught my eye a while ago. https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
I’m not sure if you can create a blog with it – it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.
Looks like it’ll be just X-Men no. 17 for me.
I never had it back then, but I had the demo disc and we played that for hours. Just two characters and one stage, and that still gave us endless fun.
I played Power Stone 2 with a friend last weekend (the new rerelease on steam, not on a Dreamcast) and it was great. A perfect “pick up and play” couch coop game.
One popular way was that Internet Explorer 6 included something called ActiveX, which basically allowed any website to run code on your computer as though it was a locally-installed program. You could just click on some URL and next thing you know it’s writing files to your hard drive. This is one of the main reasons why the Internet Explorer 6 / Windows XP era was particularly virus-filled. A website could open your freaking CD tray.
From the ActiveX wikipedia page:
Developers had to register with Verisign (US$20 per year for individuals, $400 for corporations) and sign a contract, promising not to develop malware.
Promising not to. And they did it anyway. The bastards.
I’ve been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It’s the one thing I’m not selfhosting, though – I’ve been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)
You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.
If you really liked the interactions between the characters, honestly I think The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog did that better than any of the other games did. If that’s the main appeal for you, you’ve already played the best one. I haven’t read the comics myself, but like others have mentioned, that’s probably what you’re looking for.
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 feature many of the same characters as The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, but the dialog isn’t really as polished. It’s an English translation of a Japanese game at a time when they were still trying to figure out how to do cutscenes in 3D Sonic games. But based on your criteria, I’d say those are a good starting point, though. They’re both on Steam. (The first game is called Sonic Adventure DX because it has the “upgraded” graphics that many fans think is actually a downgrade in art style. There are mods to change things back to their original look. I think this SADX mod installer installs all of them for you.)
Sonic X Shadow Generations has many of the levels from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, but lacks the same cutscenes and characters. The gameplay is great, though.
And if you liked the OST, then you’ll definitely like the music in the 2D games, especially Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic Mania.
