makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Update on NS2 Backwards Compatibility testingEnglish213·10 days agoInteresting to read that you’ll be able to pair Switch 1 joycons with Switch 2. That seems like the type of thing Nintendo would have avoided in the past to prevent product confusion. I wonder if I’ll be able to use my old pro controller too?
The Final Fantasy pixel remasters are all old school turn based RPGs that can be played one handed on the steam deck. Certainly not all 50 games but UFO 50 has a bunch of games made for a non-existent console that are all pretty simple and I would bet a lot of them can be played one handed. Both Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule are rhythm dungeon delver games that probably work one handed too, technically so would the new game Rift of the Necrodancer but that requires more skill than I have
Oh, and for the RPG fan Disco Elysium is almost certainly up his alley and perfect for one handed play

A pre-built tower with a disk drive and windows 7. I think you better call the Loch Ness Monster cuz you’re only getting about three fitty for that
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm?English7·2 months agoA firearm, easily. I’ve fired both and bows require much more strength even if it’s a compound bow. On top of that aiming an arrow is much less intuitive than using even iron sights on a gun. Not to mention you can get rounds off much faster on a bolt action gun than a bow. Additionally I think you’re probably more likely to hurt yourself with a bow by smacking your arm than with a gun, assuming you get basic training for both
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•The BAFTAs dares to ask the internet: 'What is the most influential videogame of all time?'English24·2 months agoThere’s a lot of good arguments out there. Pong for being the “first”, Pac-Man for making arcades insane and bringing in big money, Tetris for its wide appeal, Mario 64 for convincing everyone 3d games work, Doom for popularizing the fps, Wii Sports for its ubiquity, Farmville for starting what would become mobile games (which as much as gamers hate to admit, they make more money than every other platform combined). It’d take a pretty convincing argument for me to fully believe any of them but of mine I’d make an argument for Pac-Man, but my heart wants it to be Tetris

Obviously we’re all dancing around one case and I assure the members of that jury will be pestered about it for a long time after
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up.English415·2 months agoI will also warn that you are likely committing perjury when they ask at the jury if they have an inability or refusal to follow the instructions or the law of the judge. Now this is difficult to prove, but it’s not something risk free
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?English1·2 months agoHave you seen young men without good role models in their life? I have, they break things and hurt people. There are exceptions to every rule obviously, but especially in the growing toxic male culture that we have right now young men are in precarious positions. I’m a huge fucking nerd, I built my own computer in high school and was captain of the quiz bowl team. It’s still important to find positive and healthy outlets for the energy young men have. This poster specifically pointed out that they do have toxic male influences in their life already. Keeping active is never bad advice and while I may have been over emphasizing some things, it’s important to address behavior now before he starts driving, working, going out on his own, etcetera etcetera
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is this how extroverts function?English5·2 months agoUnfortunately, yeah. The more you let people walk over you the more comfortable they get doing it. Being blunt is a good way to stop that kind of behavior, when someone is rude asking direct questions like “why are you saying that about them?” makes people uncomfortable and will get them to stop dragging you into drama. Especially in today’s American climate people feel emboldened to attack people they see as “weak” so you need to not appear “weak” and (this is the much more difficult part) stand up for everyone else who the bullies are targeting
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?English61·2 months agoFirst things first, I’d suggest looking into Big Brothers, Big Sisters if you’re in America. I’ve been a part of their program and it’s a great organization dedicated to helping kids exactly like this
OK, onto real advice: it sounds like you’re a woman and one of the things you need to address early with young men is respect. He will become significantly stronger than you very soon. He will have a ton of hormones pumping through his body. He is going to become dangerous to himself and others. He will be curious about how strong he is. You have to make sure he explores that safety. This is something all men go through and it’s important to have a good foundation or he can start spiraling down bad paths. You need to police his internet usage, his friends, and his role models or he could very easily start sliding into anti-women and abusive views
If he’s not enrolled in any sort of physical activity I would encourage you to find one. He’s going to have basically unlimited energy and channeling that into sports is usually better than the alternatives. That’s also tricky because you need to pay attention to the leadership of those activities to ensure that they are good influences
Now the fun stuff: he is going to be hungry for the next 5 years. If you haven’t grown up with boys it’s hard to understand but he can eat 6000 calories in a day and barely notice. My family used to order 2 pizzas when I was a teen, I would eat an entire one and they would eat the other. I’m not exaggerating when I say my average food in a day was a full continental breakfast, 2 deli sandwiches, chips, a dessert and a soda for lunch, an after school snack (usually leftovers), a large dinner, and dessert. I’m not a fat guy, nor was I in school. You will likely think at some point “he can’t possibly be eating that much food” and I assure you that he can
Ultimately what is important is that you have to build a good moral foundation for him. You will lose the ability to control him and when that happens all of the work you’ve done raising him will reflect in the way he acts
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How likely is a strawberry daiquiri to get me drunk? I’ve only had alcohol once and that was one beer.English9·2 months agoNo. A small woman who has effectively zero experience with liquor should not drink 4 to 6 daiquiris in public in one night. I wouldn’t even suggest she go above 3 without a chaperone

One has caffeine and artificial sugar whereas the other has neither. I’d have a hard time believing these are the same products and not just similar ones with confusing names

makeshiftreaper@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I personally like Green Eggs & HamEnglish71·2 months agoBased off of the try-hard linkedin douches I know I’d say:
- The Art of War
- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

We insource our torture. Outside firms never get our branding right and it sends mixed messages to our consumers and adversaries. That said, having a single app for laundering services in each region’s major currency would save me a lot of time and burner phones
What a minorly annoying distinction. Thanks for the explanation
