Come to Mbin! We have active developers!
Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it’s just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.
As for me, I like these ones: !wordle@lemmy.world - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday !news@beehaw.org - Good reliable world news that covers important events !usnews@beehaw.org - I’m American and this is better than most of our news outlets !comicstrips@lemmy.world - Good single-serving comics in my feed !vgmusic@lemmy.world - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent
To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.
Tekken? Nah. It’s a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.
You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.
Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band’s worth of instruments.
I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.
And that’s not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.
RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.
Moments like this make me think Mike DeWine isn’t dumb enough or evil enough to actually be a Republican. He actually has a soul and he’ll make his own party double-down on transphobia if they’re so committed to it. We should’ve still impeached him for screwing up the March 2020 primary election, though.
Me too. Next time I notice something I post doesn’t federate, I’ll give you a shout out on infosec.exchange if it’s easier for you.
Ah, so it wasn’t just me? I thought I must have done something weird with my formatting to mess up federation. Since the post you mentioned, this has happened on two more posts with images and a link post. I’m not trying to break Fedia, I promise!
I left that comment five hours ago and it didn’t federate either. I can see it on Fedia but not on Kbin.social. I thought comments always federated, but maybe not? It looks like there’s another bug to squash somewhere. @jerry and @melroy@kbin.melroy.org have been doing an amazing job running a cool social media platform to run on this cursed code base.

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?
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.
Thank you! My 500 Server errors appear to be all fixed now. I’ll try not to accidentally double post and then delete one of their thumbnails, if that still causes the error.
Thank you for all your hard work. You and @melroy haven’t given up on this community, and I’ll stand by you too. I embrace the jank and appreciate the fine communities we’ve made here.
@Pauliehedron Holy crap, @melroy fixed it! I wondered why my profile started working again. I had no idea Jerry was about to give up on kbin, but we’re now running Melroy’s fork of kbin! Hail mbin!
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.
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.

Hey! I think this has been fixed on Lemmy’s side. I posted a comic on fedia.io and it timestamped correctly on lemmy.world, lemm.ee, and bookwormstory.social. I updated the Codeberg issue with this.
I’m trying! :P
I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it’s still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin’s interface more than Lemmy’s defaults, though Lemmy’s support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I’m happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine’s custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.
Oh dang, I’m gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I’d like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.
