Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

It’s a play on an existing meme format:

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

I had no idea what I was doing as a kid, and figuring out through trial and error which combinations and placements of units would cause them to do cool combo attacks was maddening.

I didn’t play the original Tactics Ogre, but I played a bit of the recent remake. It’s very much like FF Tactics, where you move individual units around on a grid, take turns, and adjust the direction they’re facing, etc.

Ogre Battle 64 is more like a full battle map with free, simultaneous movement. You traverse the battle map as sort of an overworld (?), then it switches to the autobattle combat interface when units run into each other.

They have some similarities, but I personally enjoy the Ogre Battle 64 approach more.

Not sure, but this appears to be the creator’s youtube page about it:

That’s so much. It seems to be getting a small spike in attention these days with some recent games inspired by it (like Unicorn Overlord, or a popular indie game called Symphony of War).

It’s an incredible game, but it feels like very few people were aware of it (at least in the US). The closest AAA game to it now would be Unicorn Overlord, if you’ve seen that.

You build squads of units and customize who’s in each party and which tile they stand on, then send them out to a battle map where you can direct them. When they run into enemies, it auto-battles sort of like Fire Emblem.

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.

I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.

The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.

Schools (both K-12 and university) keep loosening their expectations of students, and now we have kids starting college with 6th grade reading levels.

School administrators don’t want their graduation stats to look bad, and universities don’t want to lose $$ by flunking students out, so there’s a massive conflict of interest that is ultimately resulting in a disservice to students and society at large.

The other day, I saw this 8th grade graduation exam from a county in Kentucky in 1912, and it drives home how much things have changed:

Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.

Do you worry about connecting it to the internet?

I installed Linux on a raspberry pi recently (first time using Linux in 15+ years), and in addition to reading stuff on Lemmy, I found that this is a really good use case for chatgpt or similar LLMs.

I was able to get chatgpt to explain stuff to me, ask it to dumb it down further, provide examples, correct my incorrect assumptions, etc.

If they are ready by then, it would be perfect timing to grab a TON of users.

Moonlight is still alive? I used to use it constantly and was really disappointed when support for it discontinued.

That’s amazing! Herbie looks to be in decent shape for what he’s been through.

The Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) had expansions that were meant to improve the capability of the system and extend its lifespan, but ultimately they weren’t super popular because it didn’t make sense to make games for such a small subset of Sega’s market share.

This is the 32x add-on that allowed for 32bit processing, and someone has just stacked a bunch of them on top of each other to be funny.

(Pictured here is the base system in the center, with the 32x add-on on top and the CD player below)
