On the SNES, all of the games below have coop:

• Tiny Toons Wild and Wacky Sports - a collection of several silly minigames as some sort of tournament, with minimum scores that need to be reached. No direct violence between players, only cartoon shenanigans like falling down a cliff, snowballing after tripping while skiing, etc. (Maybe show the kid some of the old cartoons as well, if s/he enjoys, I’m sure the game will be more interesting to him/her)
• Super Bomberman - Might count as “violent”, since you’re bombing weird looking enemies, but it’s a formula that rarely gets old and plays great as co-op. Your kid might enjoy 3 and 4 the most, with the variety of mounts to be had (if your rpi can run NeoGeo games, Neo Bomberman is also a great choice)
• Top Gear - Racing game with one of the best soundtracks in the console. Top Gear 3000 goes to space and has plenty of options for upgrading your car.
• Secret of Mana - Might count as “violent”, especially as you start off with a sword and kill cute bunny-thing enemies. An action RPG that, once you get the 2nd character, it can be played with the 2nd controller. Drop-in/drop-out, so you can easily join and leave while your kid plays or vice versa. The same applies for Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3)
• Magical Quest 2 and 3 - Disney games that are best when played cooperatively (the first lacks coop). Starts off easy enough and you get new costumes that give special powers, which help you out in the stages going forward. It’s “Disney violence” how you beat most enemies (jumping on their heads, spinning them against one another)
• Kirby Super Star and Dreamland 3 - Both allow for a second player to join in and help. Dreamland 3 has a very unique and cute looking style.
• International Super Star Soccer - If you’re into normal football (soccer), this is easily the best of its kind for the 16-bit era
• NBA Jam - Also available on the Mega Drive, dunno which version is better. BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!

I think there’s also a button the active player can press to switch out.

Either A or Select. On DKC 2 and 3, A gets the other monkey on the 1st’s back, so you can throw them at an enemy or on a platform. 2 and 3 also feature a 2 player “competitive” mode, with each player going 1 life or 1 stage

Certainly seems so. From the picture the OOP posted, it doesn’t look like there’s paved walkways

I know the 2 games below have 2 player couch coop. Not sure if you can play with 4p local on EDF

• Dynasty Warriors 8 - beat up soldiers by the hundreds while watching Romance of 3 Kingdoms as a 3D anime. “Complete Edition” but still has fuckloads of DLC skins which aren’t worth it. Or just buy and pirate the actual complete thing later.
• Earth Defense Force 5 - Kill giant insects and aliens with building-destroying firepower. The story and narration in 5 takes itself too seriously, but it has many quality of life improvements over 4, which is overall a funnier game with the best infantry sing-along

Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that “most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we’ve had time to review”

Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system

Right now at least, AI is being more of a headache than anything in coding. Microsoft itself was responsible for one such gaffe in May, as an actual coder had to tell the AI to fix an error, again and again, as each time it’d make a different mistake

The main problem is that the platforms have a money incentive to keep spam and scam posts online. They pay meta and TikTok for boosts, the scam gets boosted, all done.

Frankly, it seems like the problem could be solved by forcing the platforms to get a Know Your Customer level of information and putting that info on every boosted post, so people know who’s paying for that.

Buuuut, it’s Brazil. Justice and fairness only ever happen as side effects from judges’ decisions

Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.

Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

Gonna play it out this weekend, hopefully. Looks like an interesting load of new content

The main downside is that you need a specific browser, or an extension for your average browser, to load gemini sites.

Honestly go for EnOS.

Is that the whole name? Because searching shows YenOS, EndeavorOS, EventOS, EndlessOS and one ENOS based off Xubuntu (a single 2020 mention for a 0.4 version)

What’s the immutable part of Fedora, compared to other distros? Asking because, well, dropping 32bit support is a significant change and something that would make dummies like me not understand what’s immutable.

All their games were mobile offerings, a landscape completely so utterly dominated by freemium shovelware that 1-time purchase games are effectively non-existant if it’s not a game that made a huge splash elsewhere. Even Apple Arcade, which runs on any current Apple hardware, is struggling with low usage

So, yeah, zero surprise Netflix might need to refocus, as their gaming division was essentially a “freebie with your subscription”

This is the first time I’m hearing about this game. Guess I was already too old for minecraft and similars 10 years ago

Wouldn’t you have to have some sort of MITM to be able to inspect that traffic?

That, or a court order telling your ISP or mobile operator to allow the sniffing. Or just the police wanting to snoop your stuff because they can. Not every country cares about individual or human rights, you know

TOR is what their already-existing tip tool uses.

Yes, but tor can be blocked at a firewall level, its packets are easy to identify. “Nations like China, Iran, Belarus, North Korea, and Russia have implemented measures to block or penalize Tor usage”

The solution is legislation, as without that, we can’t expect companies to decide to release either the executables or source code for running the servers, other than a handful looking to get some attention and goodwill.

Packet data has headers that can identify where it’s coming from and where it’s going to. The contents of the packet can be securely encrypted, but destination is not. So long as you know which IPs Signal’s servers use (which is public information), it’s trivial to know when a device is sending/receiving messages with Signal.

This is also why something like Tor manages to circumvent packet sniffing, it’s impossible to know the actual destination because that’s part of the encrypted payload that a different node will decrypt and forward.

Both newpipe and pipepipe fail from time to time due to “being caught”. You can go days or weeks with them failing to load videos, then they update and things work again, until google fucks them again, rinse and repeat

Add Real Life Lore to the Nebula list, great for understanding current geopolitics and conflicts
