Should I buy cheap generic component cable for RetroTINK setup?

I'm planning to soon get the RetroTINK 5x to play both PS2 and GameCube which I may get the component switch-box to switch input without having to unplug and plug the input again. For that, I need to get an regular component cable which I was wondering if cheap ones would do or if I should try find a specific cable to get best image quality.

Any clue where's 4 O'Clock Club's E-Safety video

I remember it was made around early 2010s and was exclusive to the CBBC website.

It was a parody of Mama Do The Hump by Rizzle Kicks.

Only want to find it just so my brain doesn't keep telling me it's fake memory when I did indeed remember hearing it a few times. Nostalgia is a bitch I guess..

Lack of celebrity/well known content-creator is the only con of the Fediverse

I know this is a double-edge sword and I can see why some would disagree on this but I mean it's a 'unpopular opinion' so I going to say it anyway

For me, I found discussing about one on the Fediverse is lot like talking to the wall dispite having hashtags. I felt like I can't talk about my comfort-artist as much. Reasons why people still use Twitter dispite Elon Musk made it identical to Gab & Trust Soical is there's content creator and celebrity there which is easy to get updates from there.

In theory, I should be alright with Threads but not as excited as it has some moderating issue such as LibsOfTikTok known for spreading Transphobia and pushing the narrative that all trans people are groomers. If this wasn't made by big company like Facebook, Admins of various instances would defederated straight away until they take moderation seriously.

Better alternative would be making an instance which is primarily for music artist or well-known content creator so anyone who isn't fond of that culture can simply mute/block the instance and move on.

What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
  • s*x questions on askreddit

    Hopefully with LemmyNSFW instance, people would asked there instead on AskLemmy.

    But one of the things I'm hoping for is less mean-spirited userbase and the "I am very smart" user. Sadly, it's unavoidable as it's the Internet and even irl, people act like that.

  • Where's a good PeerTube Instance to make video content?

    I don't really have the money to do self hosting which otherwise, I would do it.

    The sort of videos I will make is

    • Let's Play / Gameplay Footage
    • How To
    • Vent video

    If possible, I would want the instance to be LGBTQ+ friendly

    The Sims 2 Repository Project is perfect for matching maxis-clothing together
    ts2repositoryproject.tumblr.com The Maxis Match Repository Project

    Welcome to the Maxis Match Repository Project! Its purpose is to take all Maxis based custom content...

    The Maxis Match Repository Project

    One of the thing I hated about that game is mostly makes clothes which is full-body only and made top/bottom feature useless.

    This is a collection of conversion of full outfit been made into top/bottom outfit so you can mix them more.

    Can I use a Lemmy client as an RSS reader?
  • Not exactly and closest you get is RSS-Bot for Mastodon which will post the link to the new article which also means you had to tell the bot to put the usertag of the exact Lemmy Community, sort of like mentioning someones' username

    a list of games "Ahead of their time"
  • Tomb Raider on PlayStation is what I say is way ahead of it's time which I think not many people give the game credit for.

    It is one of the few early 3D games that nails the atmosphere and have tension. I always gets sense of adventure and I discovered part of the tomb by myself which I feel like modern games holds people's hand a little where it feels less fun and more I been told to do XYZ.

    Also the way they did the water effect is impressive that they distort the texture UV postion I believe.

  • Who else agrees Spaz should be banned in every subreddit in reddit possible
  • I get he is a douche but can we try be much more productive with this migration from Reddit instead of doing "Imagine this..."

    It helps nobody at all and all you going to get is more angry rather than actually getting anything at of it.

  • Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
  • Generally, it been alright and has not too bad selection of topic/communities which most is more popular and broad so like anything that's more specific won't be there which I know overtime, it will have them so I'm forgiving on that front.

    At first, it was hard to know which instance I want to make my account on. I knew roughly what is the Fediverse and how it works but I remember even when I was giving Mastodon a try that I was overwhelmed and wasn't sure which instance would be for me. Not sure what suggestion I can say to fix it but there is sight barrer.

    I agree with Fwgx that Lemmy and also most (if not) all Fediverse app/services just talk little too much about it being self-hosting and all of that. I think some people on Fediverse forget that not everyone is into what I like to call 'DIY-Tech' and just more wants to see it as a service and what can THEY (the instance) bring to the table. This doesn't mean it shouldn't mention that you can self-host it but maybe shouldn't be too much of a priority. Maybe at least have some sort of tutorial or official guide as well as otherwise, I am pretty much on my own which sometime I can solve and learn from it but other people may just get annoyed and give up too easily. They will not know there's account and even website that is a guide to the Fediverse and it only if someone on their timeline or where they followed/subscribe from that they would know those exist.

    I think once the Fediverse services/instance prioritized being user-friendly as well as explain how it works without going too technical that may scare some people away, I can see it grow much bigger and I really hope so as I been enjoying it despite some drawback.

  • Which Mastodon instance would allow RSS News feed?

    I'm not sure if there is news for music so I thought I might as well as set it up if there isn't any.

    I made StanFediverse group

    This is more for Mastodon/Misskey based instance but to join in, you tagged @StanFediverse@chirp.social and follow it to join in.

    I don't know if it would take off but thought I just mention it here!

    Twitter US ad sales plunged 59%, and internal forecasts are grim, NYT reports
  • Wait, you can’t call, text, email, chat your friends?

    Their my internet friends if that makes sense. Also, I don't like to give out my something like my email or phone number unless I know people enough or at least would see them. Most them are in America so seeing them is slim. (I'm British)

    You have to shout it publicly across the internet?

    No, I can DM Them and it what I mostly did to keep in contract with them.

    Are you sure they’re your friends?

    Yeah, their just lazy at best...

  • Twitter US ad sales plunged 59%, and internal forecasts are grim, NYT reports
  • I remember around Novemeber trying to get my friends to use other platfrom but Twitter as I removed my account, made twitter account only to talk to them because their too lazy to even just use Discord.. it just so damn annoying
