Deus Ex Randomizer v3.2 Happy Halloween!
  • EDIT: This has been hotfixed in v3.2.1, along with a new tweak for the Halloween modes!

    Turns out the lighting was a bit dark for some people, and since during October the cosmetics affect the regular randomizer modes too, we will be releasing a hotfix soon. For now remember that you can use the flashlight without any energy cost, and you can also increase the Brightness Boost settings in the Rando->Visuals menu. You can also disable the memes setting entirely in Rando->Gameplay.

    If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

    [!v3.0 Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mTcG6xeq4&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1)

    Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!

    Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I'm pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo, IRC, ICQ, AIM... people used to try new things

  • Cylobotnia - More Fake Acoustics (Cylob+Astrobotnia collab) (2003)

    Cylobian Sunday! I noticed their Myspace page has 3 unreleased tracks https://myspace.com/cylobotnia

    • LAB Nostalgia
    • Laughing and Barking
    • Burn the Mill

    But Myspace songs don't work anymore. Anyone know where to get these?

    "Laughing and Barking" seems like it was previously called "Laughin and Barfin" here: https://web.archive.org/web/20071230010703/http://www.myspace.com/cylobotnia

    GitHub - Lumorti/Quandoom: A port of DOOM for a quantum computer
  • the README was interesting

    It is a well-known fact that all useful computational devices ever created are capable of running DOOM. Despite decades of active research, there is yet to be developed a single practical use for quantum computers. This changes today, with the release of Quandoom, a port of the first level of DOOM designed for a quantum computer, given as a single QASM file, using a mere 70,000 qubits and 80 million gates. Although such a quantum computer doesn't exist right now, Quandoom is efficiently simulatable on a classical computer, capable of running at 10-20 fps on my laptop using the accompanying lightweight (150 lines of C++) QASM simulator.

    I'm not a smart man, Jenny. Could we get a Lemmy formatting helper pop-up in the comment/text entry box somewhere?
  • Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags

  • Nintendo Patent Approved in August Could Be What It Uses Against Palworld
  • yea that sounds nasty

    just don't patent anything, other companies build a product around an unpatented idea, then you patent it and sue them? now their entire product is ruined??

    this makes no sense, that would mean the optimal play is to not patent anything until someone else starts doing it

  • [Announcement] New set of communities made hidden
  • hidden just means it won't show up in the All feed, but you can still subscribe to see all the posts from them

    so this is much softer than defederation, and it's per community instead of an entire instance

    Reddit is DOWN for thousands of users
  • When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • I'm not sure, you should definitely report that as a bug on the GitHub though

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • I think it was fixed in 0.18.5 yea, I guess there could be some system to trust other moderators from other instances but then it's basically the same as it is now lol, where trusting==appointing moderators, really the same thing

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • defederation is an admin action not a moderator action, and there are much fewer admins than there are moderators, so the workload would be a concern

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • Doesn't your suggestion mean that a user from a small instance or their own instance can make a bunch of garbage posts (or even illegal posts) and then a moderator from every single other instance will have to delete their posts separately? That's a ton of repeated work, and really opens up Lemmy to abuse.

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • Currently, communities are created and hosted on a single instance, and are moderated by moderators on that instance.

    You can be a moderator of communities on different instances, my account here on programming.dev is a moderator of communities on other instances such as lemmy.ml

  • [NEW] Squarepusher - Ultravisitor (20th Anniversary Edition) (2024)

Never entirely satisfied with the sound of the original release, Tom has taken the opportunity to bring out fresh dynamics and detail in the tracks. > > Bonus album Venus No.17 Maximised is compiled from material originally released as part of the Ultravisitor promo EP, the Square Window 3” CD (a free bonus disc given out with WarpMart pre-orders of the Ultravisitor album) and the Venus No.17 EP.

    [WR] Super Mario Sunshine RTA ACE discovered (from 1h 12m 51s down to 46m 55s)

    This brought the WR down from 1h 12m 51s to just 46m 55s. This will probably be a separate category from the old any%.

    > Apparently, the Japanese community had quietly been working on this and just dropped this massive discovery out of nowhere.

    From Noki Doki in the Discord

    > You use cutscene underflow to replay the right bell Shine spawn cutscene played previously, but since you're on a different map (Ricco/Gelato unlock plaza vs. Shadow Mario chase plaza), the right bell Shine isn't at the same memory address anymore, and the old address (which the cutscene still has) now holds something else, in this case render data for the turbo gate behind the lighthouse.

    > We can line up that turbo gate at a very precise position on screen so that when trying to spawn the "Shine", the cutscene will read the position as a memory address and run code from wherever we want. The game keeps track of stick angles to check for spins, which is the easiest memory area to manipulate that we know of, so that's where we write the arbitrary code
