“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

  • It looks at a (very) quick glance like this is going to be a file that downloads from https://api.rpcs3.net/config/, not something shipped with RPCS3 by default like we ship the GameDB YAML file with PCSX2. Optional like ours.

    Aside: Shame to see RPCS3 still on Twitter. They’re a great team and deserve better than that. While I was away for a while, apparently a couple contributors decided to restart PCSX2’s Twitter (albeit automatically syndicated from our Mastodon and Bluesky), which I’m not especially happy about.


  • @dohpaz42@lemmy.world On the grounds that no moderator was here to listen to the will of the users and therefore (exceedingly likely, due to overwhelming backlash) make a rule against intentionally de-attributed comics, I would like to ask your permission to go back and remove Beep’s posts of de-attributed comics.

    I make a point not to apply rules ex post facto, but this is an extenuating circumstance where 1) there’s almost a 100% chance such a rule would’ve existed if the community had been moderated, 2) Beep was obviously, intentionally, and maliciously taking advantage of that fact, and 3) the posts are still intentionally harmful to artists as they stay up. I emphasize points 1 and 2 for why ex post facto removal is entirely fair in this case and point 3 for why it should be used. This isn’t an ad populum argument; I wouldn’t be doing this if I just thought it was the popular option. (See above.)




  • Terrible guide. You’ll get nowhere in life if you act like this; everyone around you will think you’re some kind of insecure loser, and they won’t want you in their lives.

    This is because you’re wasting so many perfectly good opportunities when you replace “Thank you” with nothing at all instead of e.g. “No need to thank me” or “It was my pleasure” or “No sweat”. Then people will know how cool and helpful you are and how much they need you.

    They come up to me – great people, smart people – and they come up and they tell me: "Mr. Technician, sir, we’re so impressed with your terminology. Everybody’s talking about it. China’s talking – " they don’t have very good doctors over there, folks, so they come to me for advice.
