Did Trump vote? Could he have? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I even heard on the news unbidden that he had voted. I wonder who he voted for?

If your gut is saying C128, then start there. Have fun 🙂.

Can I have my cursor on at the end of the URL instead of selecting all of it, when I focus on the URL bar? in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

Yes, and you definitely used to be able to change the behaviour to stop it highlighting everything, as at one point that was doing my head in so I changed it. I find it easier now just to click twice, rather than trying to find a setting which stops it highlighting everything.

Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's a bit odd, but it only needs the basic subscription. It's fair enough, I guess, gives a bit of extra value for the subscription. I can see why they wouldn't want to give access to their entire music library for free.

TIL King Edward VII invented his own timezone for the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, in 1901 (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

At the end of the article, there's this interesting fact:

King Edward VII invented his own timezone for the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, in 1901 to squeeze in half-an-hour more hunting time each day

Halloween X - The first Halloween game appears, and it's for the Commodore Amiga (www.indieretronews.com)
 

You can certainly tell that Halloween is approaching as more and more creepy games with pumpkins, ghouls and ghosts start to appear for your gaming enjoyment. One such game by the developer 8080 certainly has that ghostly appeal! As they have announced that not only is 'Halloween X' a finished game ready to be played to competition, but there's also a new demo for you to try. A game in which you have fallen into a monster filled dungeon, and must find 3 golden keys to escape.

Sending intranet Email on a token ring network still used the same process as creating a Memo in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Yes, I think that's probably how it worked.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My memory of token ring is vague, but I think it was originally a ring in series as you said - however token ring switches (that isn't what they were called) also existed, which was the "modern" way of writing up a token ring network.

Suggestions please: Low-mid difficulty/complexity, collaborative fantasy/adventure/strategy board game or RPG. in c/boardgames@lemmy.world

Stuffed Fables is a storybook adventure with stuffed toys. Sort of Choose Your Own Adventure meets D&D. The book's the DM.

In a similar vein there's The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Eila and Something Shiny.

Is there a video-game .ics/calendar that I can subscribe to keep up with recent releases? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

I suspect there should be something using the IGDB API, if not it ought to be possible to make one. I found this (I didn't try it) but it's not quite what you want: https://github.com/omoosey/video-game-calendar

Anti-fossil fuel comic that went viral in France arrives in UK (www.theguardian.com)
 

In 2019, France’s best known climate expert sat down to work with its most feted graphic novelist. The result? Perhaps the most terrifying comic ever drawn.

Part history, part analysis, part vision for the future, World Without End weaves the story of humanity’s rapacious appetite for fossil fuel energy, how it has made possible the society people take for granted, and its disastrous effects on the climate.

The Commodore Amiga Used To Make Worms Is Back In Service (www.timeextension.com)
 

"The Amiga I made Worms on is all recapped and working again," he says on social media. "Everything is also finally backed up."

"So looks like I’ll be getting back into games development," adds Davidson, before saying that he has plans to expand the iconic Director's Cut of the game. "I have a Worms DC update to finish... will be an update to that which makes it feature-complete and adds some other stuff as well."
