Generally good news here, but I’m not holding my breath. Sega’s remakes are still hit-and-miss, but they all have a chance to be good. We don’t know if Hideki Naganuma is involved with the new Jet Set Radio.

Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar
to install them all silently.
Yay! I love Shiren 1 on the SNES and DS and I actually just started it again after seeing it get challenged on GameCenter CX. I still need to actually play the other Shiren games.
Is there a community for Shiren the Wanderer on Lemmy or Kbin? I don’t want to have to go back to Reddit for it.
I liked a lot of the parodies and jokes in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but the game had too many frustrating parts in between them. About half of this game should have been left on the cutting room floor, but Rare wouldn’t cut their bad ideas out of the game unless Nintendo was supervising them.
Getting the mainstream ones out of the way first: 3s, Garou MotW, ST/2X, Tekken 3 (PS1), UMK3, MvC2, CvS2, SC2, KOF '98, Vampire Savior
Got it? Good. But have you played:
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire: Strange Mortal Kombat-looking game with three Jackie Chans, but surprisingly accessible
Fighter’s History Dynamite/Karnov’s Revenge: Karnovember is coming! A 1994 fighting game that held up very well
King of Fighters '95: A prime example of SNK’s old school style
Fighter’s Destiny and Toy Fighter: 3D fighters where certain knockdowns earn you points, and first to 5 or 7 points wins
Street Fighter EX2 Plus: Arika’s quirky take on Street Fighter with plenty of unique characters and mechanics
Slap Happy Rhythm Busters: Fast polygonal 2D fighter with simple controls and supers that make a rhythm action game happen
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters SNES: The good Turtles fighting game. Fun mechanics to learn and break.
Edit: Added videos for the games that didn’t have links to a wiki
I tried writing alt text with the image on this post on August 9, and I thought it wasn’t working. On mine and other Kbin instances, alt text does load but Firefox just doesn’t show it when I mouseover. In the page’s source, it’s an “alt” argument instead of a “title” argument, and Firefox users can’t see alt text if the image loads successfully. It would work better if Kbin allowed users to input title text instead of alt text.
I didn’t notice until just now, but that post’s alt text works perfectly on Mastodon! It simply duplicates the alt text into the title text and I can read it when I mouseover the image.
That leaves Lemmy which seems to have no alt text support at all. I’ve inspected the page and my alt text simply doesn’t federate to Lemmy. But Lemmy apparently has working spoiler tags and Lemmy users are considering using that to describe images. The Lemmy spoiler tags don’t work anywhere else, though.
::: Lemmy spoiler tag test
Everywhere but Lemmy will just render this as regular text. My Wordle-playing friends would be sad.

Thank you for giving the Fediverse some of that Imaginary Network action I crave from Reddit. I tried asking them to move to Kbin and they aren’t interested. You and @Martineski have been doing a fine job making quality posts and always citing your sources. I hope Martineski’s Imaginary communities come back soon. I want to contribute more to ImaginarySliceOfLife here!
I’d offer my own @FloatingIsFun to join the Imaginary mix, but it wouldn’t work because we accept floaty things that aren’t fictional and aren’t static images. Besides, with that Lemmy/Kbin bug making all my posts appear to come from two hours in the future, I feel like I’ve already gotten more exposure than I actually deserve.
Nice work! If Kbin ever gets a mascot, someone will have to draw it flying with balloons so I can make it @FloatingIsFun 's new icon.
You’re right, and Snopes confirms what you’re saying. They only ever appear to be standing next to each other in this one photo, ever. There’s no evidence that they even greeted each other. I’m all for dragging both of them through the mud for the stuff they’ve done, but there’s no need to make up a story that they did anything together.
I put Fedia.io through this last week. I run @FloatingIsFun which I think is the first active art subreddit on Kbin. I’ve been working on reposting all 400+ posts from the old /r/FloatingIsFun subreddit. For a couple days, my posts got popular and I really spammed up people’s home pages with floaty stuff. It even spread outside Fedia onto other Kbin and Lemmy instances. I felt kinda bad, but I’m glad I got some exposure. The hype subsided after a couple days and things are healthy again.
I’m just glad I’m not alone and there’s some functioning art sublemmies now. Keep up the good work! I hope other subreddits follow us to the Fediverse.
Here on Kbin, the image upload supports GIFs up to 5MB or so. They get still frame thumbnails, but the user can click on it to see the full-size animated version. I’ve attached Higitus Figitus by R!k! to this comment as an example.
I’m a Reddit refugee and I’ve been moving all the pictures and videos from my old niche subreddit to my new niche Kbin magazine. I’m afraid Reddit will collapse, and the collection of floaty things I’ve been building up will become lost media if it’s not reposted somewhere else. I like the Fediverse’s mission and I want to see how the Fediverse develops. Also, I want to have a complete and functional artsy magazine on Kbin to show the others back on Reddit that it can be done well.
For the past couple days, some of my posts have been making Fedia’s home page and apparently other instances’ home pages too. It’s good to be seen, but I’m afraid I’m getting more attention than I actually deserve. I like seeing art of fantasy worlds and interactions, and I’m not alone in that. But, I’m afraid I’m corrupting your feeds with stuff you aren’t looking for, just because I’m doing it first.
Check each game’s entry on PCGamingWiki. They’re a good resource for finding what it takes to get old games running well on modern PCs. A lot of times, the answer is either “buy it on Steam and use a community-made patch” or “buy it on GOG”.
I’m curious, what games are you trying to get working?
