Someone said it, I replied, not my fault I have to iterate a simple idea.

It's like those guys who were looking to be lifetime appointed judges but couldn't bring it over their lips to say Biden won.

It's a stupid discussion, I give you that.

    Why can't we be upset and admit he very likely got death threats? I'm not giving him sympathy, he doesn't deserve it. I'm not sure why such a simple thing can't be admitted to be feasible? Again, they did something terrible and the gravity of what they did can invoke these kinds of messages.

    Yeah, exactly, seems almost like a controversial thing to say that there are people sending death threats and harassments. I know it's not the majority doing this, that would be preposterous to suggest, but unfortunately there is a loud enough group of people going after this person. Not condoning what they did, which is wrong on many levels, they clearly have some issues and apply mental gymnastics, but death threats? Come on, we're better than that.

    Report the repo for malicious activity and don't use it. Name and shame of you will, threatening death is something else. That's all I'm saying.

    A little dip into the surface at the end, also very nice.

    As the Pelican was landing it suddenly "ragdolled" away, landing a but further in a spotty state.

    ELITE20 wanted to jump onto/into the Pelican while it was landing, which then crushed him after which his body catapulted the Pelican away, I think...

    Hi, I have an Power Clutch SG by Asciiware (also known as the Sega Mega Stick), a controller for the Sega Mega Drive. It's one of my favorite controllers.

    Unfortunately my son dropped it a few years ago and snapped the joystick clean off. I have disassembled and removed the joystick. The snap is clean and the 2 parts fit together neatly. I'm looking for the best way to fix this. The joystick itself has no aftermarket alternatives as far as I can find, and buying another one of these to harvest the stick itself is an exercise in futilty as it would leave the other unit without a stick.

    The big question is, what adhesive brand/type is best to bond these 2 parts together again? Especially considering the stress this might have to endure.

    Hi! My kid needs to use some special software due to some underlying issues. I was looking into how it works and it basically loads a PDF version of his books and then just allows him to digitally use the exercises by adding text, drawing, etc. It also has TTS functionality but we don't use it.

    As the annotation is the most important part of this software, I'm looking for something similar, basically non-destructive overlaying of a PDF, and the ability to edit these overlayed annotations at a later time, removing or changing answers given in the digital textbook.

    They are currently using software that is in general use, but it's licensed and calling it "janky" is wording things friendly. I'm not looking to replace this software, just doing some research.

    So, to summarize, I'm wondering if there already is a FLOSS program that allows you to annotate a PDF (not edit! the contents that are already in the PDF may not be changed) by adding text, drawing lines or shapes, etc.

     

    Now that the problem with inline images being too large when you scroll past them and back is solved, now you can't scroll upward past inline images anymore unless you scroll "fast" enough. The view instantly jumps back down a little bit and keeps bouncing for as long the scroll inertia lets it.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Just came across this game and it's great! It has a good feel to it, only a few minor annoyances with regards to some added mechanics, but they can be disabled. Regardless, I finished the game as-is.

    It's a great mix between the original 8bit levels revisited and demakes of 16bit levels. It always felt right. I grew up with the 16bit Sonic and the 8bit Game Gear version.

    My only big grievance is that the second jungle level uses the SMS version of not being able to scroll back down. It would not be an issue if the game didn't keep prematurely scrolling upwards when you jump. It leaves you nowhere to land, and touching the bottom edge kills you. I lost the most lives on this level. The GG version didn't have this, you could fall back down to a lower part of the level.

    Lots of playable characters, like Tails, Knuckles and Fang. They can have their own paths in the levels that Sonic can't reach. You can become Super Sonic. Great experience all around.

    Besides having replayability (time attack, encore, playing with other characters, ...) there is also a Sonic SMS Remake 2 and 3, will be playing these next.

    Played on my Odroid GO Ultra running Rocknix and portmaster.

    I rate this 9/10.

    My kids wanted to do a little "challenge" of trying to see which one of them would be able to finish the original Sonic game the fastest, so I set up a stream that showed both their streams at the same time and broadcasted it onto Twitch.tv.

    After the stream was done I was checking the video and got a message part of my video got muted because it contained "copyrighted content owned or controlled by a third party". It muted a minute before the coprighted part and a minute after, too.

    Apparantly someone made a song that uses the Robotnik theme, meaning no one will be able to stream this game anymore without getting this part muted?

    Here is the "song" that supposedly counts as the copyrighted original

    It's 3 years old and has 100 views.

    The actual original (by Masato Nakamura):

    Full message on my video:

    "Audio for portions of this video has been muted as it appears to contain copyrighted content owned or controlled by a third party."

    Here are the appeal options:

    I'm not sure how to appeal this, but I'm not sure if I could appeal this (or under what reason). What do you think?
