Nah, that’s a PAL Mega Drive. It runs 16% slower than a Genesis and the graphics are vertically squished. They buried it so they could use the better NTSC models.
Thank you! I’m trying to participate in other communities more. I gave [email protected] its first posts, and they went well.
My progress hit a snag when a link I posted ran a foul of lemmy.world’s automod and it banned me for a little bit. So, I participated in [email protected] and an admin fixed the problem.
We call that type of arcade “redemption hell”. Good arcades still exist, though! See if any of your local arcades specialize in retro games or Japanese games. They’ll have the good stuff, even if the atmosphere isn’t what it used to be.
Did your instance do something weird here? My thread is a YouTube link.
Encoding the source URL in the screenshot’s metadata is not bad. That would preserve the source credit in places where people simply copy your image and post it somewhere else. We’d have to make sure it’s not saving the full URL of a private conversation, where the full URL might leak a private key or a session ID. Can’t let someone turn on this feature and then accidentally doxx themselves.
Suppose I did fake a screenshot, and I supplied a source link. Anyone could click my link, read the real thing, and call me out on my bullshit. That’s the way it should be.

I wanted to archive that tone-deaf tweet in case that Nazi deletes it, but apparently Wayback Machine has trouble archiving Twitter in particular.

I like this, but it’s better to always link to the source of your screenshot. Art communities like mine are strict about always citing sources, and I wish the rest of the internet would cite sources. For example:
Source: Twitter via Jewish Telegraphic Agency because I’m not giving going to give that tweet any engagement
That’s right, it’s [email protected] . I couldn’t find a community for people who like floaty things, so I made my own.
That’s fair. The easiest way to find properly sourced examples of floating in the air is through the tags on pixiv and DeviantArt, and those have great tools like SauceNAO backing them up. So, that’s what I have a lot of.
What I really want is more videos and real life examples of floating, but those are more rare and much harder to track down accurate sources for. Sometimes I defeat language barriers and find the source, but the only way to post it is piracy. Sometimes I think I find a source, but it’s fishy or I have to upload a copy of the video that works here. Sometimes an awesome video is never documented and I try for years to find the source and never get it. And after all that, video posts don’t work well on Lemmy and PieFed.
I make threads to explore floaty things and their fun interactions, but my subscribers only like them if there are cute anime girls. Such is life. I’m trying to support smaller communities more.
Pretty good for the price! My main gaming machine is a $60 Anberbic handheld. I had to install a better OS and the tiny best set myself, and it struggles running Dreamcast and PSP games, but it actually feels good to play.
