Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Call for donations for Lemmy.WorldEnglish
5·2 days agoIt seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being €4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being €1,700.

Gaming@lemmy.world•Early Punch-Out prototype surfaces, ROM shared onlineEnglish
5·3 days agoInterestingly, a quick search of the name “Mongol Khan” also leads to the February 1987 NES game Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll (the sprite in this set matches the Mongol Khan listing here). While the name ‘Mongol Khan’ is about par for the course in terms of Punch Out cultural stereotypes, I wonder if they were perhaps originally planning a crossover?
Alternatively, they could have found out that the name wasn’t unique and chose an alternate character idea instead.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•NES – Nintendo Classics – April 2026 Game UpdatesEnglish
2·3 days agoIt still amazes me how many people are perfectly fine subscribing for temporary access to a ROM library.
Edit: It’s not surprising that companies opt for subscription models to boost profitability; it’s just frustrating that rational consumers are progressively less and less able to purchase products at reasonable prices because the average consumer is putting up with it.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tollsEnglish
4·4 days agoWith 20 million barrels of oil going through the straight daily, there’s certainly be plenty of grift to go around if Trump somehow got them to allocate fees to his knockoff UN in the name of ‘peace’.
The amount of grift in the military industrial complex and the value of arms shipments to Israel likely outpaces what he’d realistically get out of Iran. Regardless of the outcome of the war, oil profits and arms shipments are up, and Trump is undoubtedly getting kickbacks from it.

22·4 days agoAll they’d have to do is call it the Trump Peace Tariff and wire him a cut of it and he’d let them set it as high as they want.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Stremio is getting on my nervesEnglish
2·4 days agoNote that Debridio doesn’t work without a Debrid service; it exists merely as a paid alternative to Torrentio for when it’s congested with too many users at once. Doesn’t happen too often thankfully.
I personally prefer how Torrentio formats results, but unreliability with the service has frustrated family members in the past (the point of using Stremio in the first place being to make torrenting as much like using Netflix as possible for non-techies) and made having an alternative useful, just in case.
In reconfiguring Torrentio, make sure you uninstall it before reinstalling it, as it doesn’t overwrite it.

News@lemmy.world•Live Updates: White House says reports of Strait of Hormuz closure are false as Iran claims Israel violating ceasefireEnglish
6·4 days agoDidn’t go with the MSNBC or Guardian ones since they linked to live feeds that might change, and several of the other ones that popped up first were right-wing outlets glad to be fed whatever the White House puts in their mouth, so CBC seemed like a good, well-balanced choice.
