Cancer sucks. I don’t wish cancer on anybody…

…but karma’s a bitch, ain’t it? Also, don’t let this stop us from prosecuting her for her crimes.

TMTG is also active in financial services, and the company announced US$2.5 billion in funding a year ago to invest in cryptocurrencies, one of Trump’s recent passions.

But the plunge in digital currencies hit this part of the business hard as the price of Bitcoin tumbled from over US$126,000 in early October to below US$70,000 in March.

It has since rebounded somewhat to over US$80,000.

Because the company is required to reveal the value of its investments, even if it hasn’t sold them, it recorded a loss of US$406 million for the first quarter.

“The vast bulk” of the loss was due to digital assets, the company stated.

So the parent company is also a crypto bank that lost value when their crypto lost value. Just another kind of grift.

Pour sugar in the concrete mix.

I started replaying Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, this time with its fan translation so I get the story and RetroAchievements I missed before. The developers dealt with the WonderSwan’s terrible display by turning Klonoa into a chill little puzzle platformer, a design they repeated twice on the GBA.

I recently completed Mega Bomberman’s RetroAchievement set, then poked at its superior PC Engine version, Bomberman '94. It’s good classic Bomberman. I want to start playing the fantastic fan game Power Bomberman once my new MacBook Pro Linux Mint setup is more stable.

I can confirm this. My community is a unique collection that has never existed before, available to all. The upvotes tell me if what I post is actually good or if I’m just biased toward it.

It’s about making the game playable for the most players possible. Good accessibility mechanics don’t give players a competitive advantage, but they can help close the gap. You could put a degree of auto-aim in Counter-Strike, but don’t make it faster or more accurate than a skilled human player can click on enemies’ heads. You still have to predict where the enemy players will come from.

Some features like remappable controls and input device support are absolutely necessary to make games playable for lots of people. I wouldn’t consider remapping controls a certain way to be an advantage. If someone comes up with a better control scheme for first-person games than keyboard-and-mouse, the high level players will be the first to adopt it.

In Quake Live, you can force the enemy character models to use a bright green colors, and all kinds of players make use of that without changing how people play Quake Live. Control assists like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s steering assist and Street Fighter 6’s Modern control style make the games playable for people who aren’t great with controllers, without breaking the whole game in favor of those mechanics.

Asking Trump to read a chapter from the Bible is like asking ChatGPT to count to 200. He is incapable of speaking that long without making stuff up. If it’s pre-recorded, watch for it to be a deepfake.

Aw man, Learn to Float is already sold out!

Indeed, she could’ve been a national hero.

ImgOps. Add imgops.com/ to any random image URL on the internet and get quick links to a bigger version, look it the source on SauceNAO, or search Google, Yandex, or TinEye. I always run art through ImgOps before posting here.

Kbin was once more promising than Lemmy, we didn’t know how hard it was to keep a Kbin instance running, and the mighty PieFed wasn’t here yet. We couldn’t imagine that kbin.social, lemm.ee, and lemmy.fmhy.ml all wouldn’t last. Instances also defederated each other far more commonly back then. Art communities were just getting started here, experimenting with what types of posts work best across platforms. Our disdain for corporate social media united us here, and that disdain has only grown stronger. Yet, [email protected] was once more active than it is now

This is a great example of community response that actually really helps people in need. If you organize something like this, keep it on the down low and don’t advertise it online. [email protected]

My hometown is named after Christopher Columbus, and even we got rid of most of our statues of him years ago.

Exactly! That’s what I thought this was about until I noticed who was punching who.

Trump easily meets the requirements for an Antichrist too.

From Website Carbon:

Nice! Less than 0.01g of CO2 is produced every time someone visits this web page.

Holy shit! That web site lives up to its name! I want to redesign my site to be that fast and elegant.

Make a new community on your instance and be its caretaker. Post the content you want there to be, even if it’s a small niche. The variety and depth you add improves everyone’s Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin/Friendica experience, even if your niche isn’t for everyone.

Also, this:

Overwhelmingly, voters believe the war will make their lives worse. The survey was in the field before the wild volatility in the oil market, but even then, 49% of voters said the war “will make my life more difficult” compared to just 10% who said they’d see an improvement. One third said it would have no impact.

We didn’t even vote Jon Husted in as Senator. JD Vance won that seat and left it to be Trump’s VP. Our governor appointed his lieutenant governor Husted to Vance’s seat. Then, he replaced the lieutenant governor with a football coach.

It’s about time I invest in sticker sheets for gas pumps.
