overview for lackthought

if you want to cross-post the same exact image to a different community there should be a link at the top of this post to cross-post (if using the desktop web ui), it sorta looks like a copy icon

but if you wanted to use a new photo then I think just creating a new post over there is probably easiest

I've gone ahead and subscribed to that other community, hopefully it gains some traction. I enjoy seeing old finds from yard sales, etc

the only general community I could find while searching is this one, but it appears to be completely empty

kinda surprised there isn't a generic vintage type community, maybe there is one out there somewhere!

Out of Print Archive - classic video game magazines in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

[–] lackthought 1 points 2 years ago

ha, I used to go the grocery store specifically to read entire magazines

The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] lackthought 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

just ordered a nice OTA antenna so I can watch my local channels, anything else needed will be purchased for exactly 1 month and then cancelled

I've also started looking at smaller streaming services like CuriosityStream and MagellanTV cause I'm more interested in documentaries and such instead of the latest weekly tv dramas

TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games in c/ps5@lemmy.world

[–] lackthought 2 points 2 years ago

was probably planned from the start

TMNT is one of those franchises where they can make comics/tv/movies/merchandise all at the same time for cross-promotion, like the movie that just came out (even if it isn't directly related to The Last Ronin)

I've been meaning to read the comic so I guess I'll move it higher up on my reading list now

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy? in c/workreform@lemmy.world

[–] lackthought 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

poor management all around, grasping at short term solutions because they can't see past the next quarterly financial reports

our company actually closed several offices due to low in-person turnout after the pandemic started to ease up, and they said they would just sub-lease out the buildings to recuperate money

those of us in the office cities are now fully remote

Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] lackthought 13 points 2 years ago

yep

I’ll take my lower salary to sit in my home office with central air

I wouldn’t last a day as a driver with their expectations and the need to move/lift heavy packages in the heat

Did anyone play Darkstone back on the PSX? (youtu.be)

I had not played Diablo at the time so this game was my introduction to the genre

It was only $10 brand new which was awesome for a poor kid like myself

federation with kbin still extremely flaky? (self.sdfpubnix)

submitted 2 years ago by lackthought to c/sdfpubnix

12 comments fedilink

is anyone else having federation issues for kbin 'magazines'?

I've been subscribed to m/mma for a month and posts/comments do not come over to lemmy in a timely manner (or at all in some cases)

I'm not sure if the issue is on the lemmy side or the kbin side so I don't even know where to check or submit an issue

Is there a community on this instance for discussions on Testing (be it Unit/Performance/Interface/Automated/etc)? (self.meta)

submitted 2 years ago by lackthought to c/meta@programming.dev

took a gander around and didn't see anything at first glance

I'm not sure how much activity there would be, but it'd be neat to have imo

7 Problems Y2K Actually Caused (www.mentalfloss.com)

submitted 2 years ago by lackthought to c/retronet

10 comments fedilink

was anyone else disappointed that planes were not literally falling out of the sky on Y2K?

anyway, here are some real world examples of actual problems that did occur

I did like the Leonard Nimoy video with experts attempting to rate how bad things were going to be :)

and of course the Y2K survival kit commercial was unintentionally hilarious with the shattered glass and sirens going off in the background

did anyone here have to deal with issues caused by Y2K, or spend time preparing systems beforehand?

Is it possible to create a Lemmy post with an external link from Mastodon? (self.fediverse)

submitted 2 years ago by lackthought to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

I know a Mastodon user can create a new post by mentioning a Lemmy community, but I believe it is just a text post

Here was an example I found of this:
https://lemmy.world/post/82145

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a post in Lemmy via Mastodon that is a link to somewhere else such as a website?

I suppose I could just put the link in the body of the text post but a direct link would be cool, if possible

Windows 3.1 SkiFree (WinSki) (archive.org)

submitted 2 years ago by lackthought to c/retronet

4 comments fedilink

SkiFree is the standalone version of the game originally included as a part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3 (1991) for Windows 3.x, and later made available separately for Windows 3.x. It was then re-compiled for 32-bit Windows systems when the author found back the source code and released it for free through his website.

The skier can be steered using the keyboard or the mouse. It is also possible to jump, but the biggest ones are achieved with the help of rocks, bumps and rainbow-coloured pads. After the finish, the skier can move on until he is caught by the abominable snow monster. There are various obstacles, such as trees, snowboarders, rocks and more.
