I really like SimCity 3000’s jazz soundtrack. That was the first time I remember playing a game where the soundtrack was released separately.

Honorable mention goes to DX-Ball 2, which introduced me to a lot of electronic music and the concept of module/tracker music. The game by default came with just 4 .mod songs but on the website you could download additional files from the same creator, or add other .mod files from other sources to a folder and they’d appear in the game. First shareware game I ever bought, and paid by sending a money order through the mail because I was too young to have a credit card.

Was it a bridge? What happened to the rest of it?

I’m guessing they will aim for Steamdeck support? That seems like an ideal platform

Love that SNES inspired theme on the box

Lima like the bean?

Canada was still part of the British empire at the time, but looking at Wikipedia the British regiments were all actually raised and based in the British isles, so I’m not sure where the idea that they were Canadians came from. I’ve heard several times that the troops that burned Washington were of Canadian origin, usually proudly related by Canadians, and just assumed that was correct since my history classes usually didn’t spend much time on that war. It does look like at least some of the attack was in retaliation for American burnings and lootings of York and Port Dover in what was then Upper Canada, so maybe that’s where the idea comes from.

30 didn’t really bother me; I was able to delude myself that that was “basically still in my 20s.” It was when I hit 31 that I had to admit, “no, definitely in my 30s now.” Beyond that mental block, though, it really wasn’t bad. Right as I turned 30 I got a better paying job and bought my first new car, fairly sporty, so I called it my ⅓-life crisis because I felt 30 was too young to be a midlife crisis.

It’s a cylinder

I guess in a sense it did prevent an attack from inside the building, in much the same way as the Maginot Line prevented Germany from invading France at the border between the two nations. It really just pushed the attack to come from a different direction, though.

I think it made so much money at the box office because it was so visually stunning (for the time) and no one had made a movie like that at that point. It was very much a movie everyone said to go watch on the big screen in 3D, ideally IMAX 3D. I never did and only watched it on a DVD borrowed from my wife’s friend 6 or 7 years ago, and came away less impressed. Like, it’s fine, but the movie itself isn’t exactly the greatest story ever told, and the visuals, while groundbreaking at the time, are now pretty standard.

“Right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there’s legal privilege for it. There’s doctor-patient confidentiality, there’s legal confidentiality, whatever. And we haven’t figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT,” Altman said. “I think we should have, like, the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist or whatever.”

While AI companies figure that out, Altman said it’s fair for users “to really want the privacy clarity before you use [ChatGPT] a lot — like the legal clarity.”

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, PCMag’s parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in April 2025, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

That final line has me wondering how much of this is Altman worrying about user privacy and how much is trying to find a way to shield evidence from lawsuits against OpenAI, since earlier in the article he specifically mentions having to retain all chats because of The New York Times’s lawsuit against OpenAI.

Stream seems frozen to me

EDIT: working again

It looks like you’ve missed Aria for Misskey, which was updated as recently as yesterday

Does your community show up in the PieFed list on Lemmyverse?

The article just cuts off mid-sentence; was it copied from somewhere else?

How are you still running the software and connecting the cable? Using an old computer?

I think horses have an exceptionally strong (though entirely reasonable) fear of fire, so getting one to be able to do this is pretty remarkable!

Probably better than a rushed layover

From a studio that also released a winemaking sim called Terroir. Seems like an interesting outfit!

Being laid-up also not so great
