There's this one Flash game that was basically only ever featured in one Flash game website (AFAIK), it played almost exactly like Swords and Sandals (it's a clone that's got nothing to do with the original series), but with this one, you could also choose to be an anthropomorphic animal and you start off with a fish for a weapon. It seemingly vanished from the face of earth, it's probably not even in the Flashpoint Archive..

That said, I've found most Flash games I played back in the Flash heydey by complete accident (e.g. via YouTube recommendations), games like Chasm, Haunted House, The Farmer, Nightmares, The Adventures Series, except for this one for whatever reason.

I never really began a wild goose chase over this one, but it still lives in the back of my mind sometimes.. But I did make it my mission to document flash games I used to play in case I want to ever revisit them lol.

    Thanks for the tips. I've read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don't matter to me at all, since I don't intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what's under the table :).. That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

    I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn't really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

    EDIT:

    Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker's estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I'm currently second-guessing my PSU choice now..

    I'm half-way through buying all of my parts.

    Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

    My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev'ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don't intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

    I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

    Huawei enters the GPU market with 96 GB VRAM GPU under 2000 USD, meanwhile NVIDIA sells from 10,000+ (RTX 6000 PRO) in c/technology@lemmy.ml

    I kinda want an individual consumer-friendly, low-end/mid-end alternative that can run my games and video editing software for very small projects.. so far I'm only eyeing the Lisuan G100, which seems to fit that bill..

    This seems cool though, other than AI, it could be used for distributed cloud computing or something of that sort

    If we're to compare this entry-level CPU clearly designed by a newcomer company and honed for one or two niches, to the current top-of-the-line, catch-all CPU backed by a brand that has had decades in the processor game, then yeah obviously it's not going to fare well. There's still some merit to this type of CPU (like say, if the price is right) and it could pave the way for better iterations.

    We don't make the same comparison for the quality & efficiency of healthcare in the brands' respective countries, now do we? :)

    Original source, including in-depth tests and other fancy details of the CPU used in the MAXHUB PC itself (written in Mandarin): https://news.mydrivers.com/1/1070/1070803_all.htm

    CPU-Z Single-Core Benchmark and specs from the original source:

    That's an 8-core, ~3GHz Base Speed, 32MB L3 cache CPU for the number-crunchers around here.

    On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:

    In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.

    And that's a good thing, lol.

    Description from my video:

    So many things could go wrong in a multiplayer speedrun... no wonder why no one runs this game like this lmao..

    Things that can kill this type of run:

    • Random Crits can both be the the bane and the boon of your run. I chose to stick to Valve servers in favor of random crits.
    • Item servers or the game server itself could be down at any moment's notice.
    • Lag.
    • The other team has at least two or three good players... or has cheaters.
    • Your team is not so good at fending off good players.
    • You can't choose teams like in the olden days and joining BLU team is the most optimal in Medieval Mode (and generally in other modes too like A/D). BLU team is practically granted insta-respawns in Medieval Mode.

    Even though I got to RED team after switching servers, I abused the hell out of the retry command to shorten the 16-second respawns or to shorten the time it takes me to walk back to spawn and change weapons down to 5.

    Also, don't mind the scuffed LiveSplit speedrun layout lol.

    [CW] Brutal Axe Attack Shocks University Of Warsaw Community (evrimagaci.org)

    On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, a shocking and brutal incident unfolded at the University of Warsaw, leaving the academic community in disbelief. Around 6:40 PM, 22-year-old Mieszko R., a law student at the university, attacked two individuals with an axe in the Auditorium Maximum building. The attack resulted in the tragic death of a 53-year-old female porter, who succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while a 39-year-old university security guard sustained serious injuries while attempting to intervene.

    In the aftermath of this horrific event, Mieszko R. was charged with murder with particular cruelty, attempted murder of the security guard, and desecration of the victim's body.

    Mieszko R. hails from Gdynia and had been studying law at the University of Warsaw. His acquaintances described him as a quiet and reserved individual with interests in military items and the Soviet Union. However, social media activity revealed a darker side; his Instagram account followed profiles associated with far-right groups, including Konfederacja and Młodzież Wszechpolska. Reports indicated that he had a fascination with violence, often watching recordings of gang activities from regions like South America and the Middle East.

    Love how news outlets always find a way to blame it on them Lay-Tams, Ay-Rabs, etc.. even if it has nothing to do with them. It's no surprise since it's an Europa specialty. WP Polska and their contemporaries worded that last part slightly differently:

    He showed and sometimes watched himself, commenting with a smile on his face, recordings from places like South America or the Middle East, where real gangs kill real people - adds our interlocutor.

    Game devs of Lemmy, what have you been working on? (files.catbox.moe)

    I've been working on a small platformer game that squarely revolves around Demoman's mobility mechanics from TF2 (think Sticky Jumper, stickyjumping, trimping, etc..) but in 2D. I'm thinking that there could be potential for something funny and wacky from coalescing some ideas from an FPS game and 2D platformers like VVVVVV, Rayman Origins/Legends and some Flash games from way back then..

    So far I only have the movement and projectile physics down.. my artistic abilities leave... a lot to be desired. I haven't decided on the game's core mechanics just yet either, but now I turn to you to gather some inspiration :).

    EDIT: attached some gameplay footage
