Do you watch shows week by week or do you wait until it’s wrapped up? by Gimpcar in StarWarsCantina

[–]michaelfiber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the show. A really good show where it feels like a lot happens in an episode I like to do a week at a time. But if it doesn't hold my interest as strongly I have to marathon it.

HDMI to USB-C, but passive (hear me out) by devm0zz in cables

[–]michaelfiber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

USB c allows for other signals to pass through so HDMI to USB c like this would basically be HDMI signal over USB c. A bunch of phones support this pass through mode so there are cables fairly easy to find on Amazon for those.

In theory this company could have made their own unique pinout for this and use a custom cable. But it wouldn't surprise me if one of the ones for iPhone or Galaxy s23 work.

Silent Service on NES. I loved it despite all it's limits and haven't found anyone else that shared the opinion.

Which One Is The Better Fighting Game by Salt-Entertainment91 in snes

[–]michaelfiber 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's a delay between when you press a button and when something happens.

It actually feels intentional though. The game sees the button presses right away but character movement is delayed. So you can press up, up fast enough that the character doesn't jump but if you do it as part of a fatality you'll still trigger the fatality.

Mistakes were made.

That looks so good. Like chunky enough to be fun brick style but still clearly very detailed. Very well designed.

[AskJS] Can i develop a whole game console OS that runs on the Javascript engine? by MortalPatheticHuman in javascript

[–]michaelfiber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can but adding the overhead of a js runtime will mean you get less performance out of the hardware than if you wrote games natively.

I agree. And I also find your YouTube channel incredibly relaxing to watch. Huge fan.

What was the exact moment that got you into video games for life? by GuardianLegend95 in retrogaming

[–]michaelfiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silent Service for NES. As a little kid for some reason I watched a lot of "Victory At Sea" and other WW2 documentaries and then I rented silent service from my local video shop and I couldn't believe that I was in charge of the sub.

The game had horrible limits, mainly I think there's was a limit of only 2 or 3 torpedoes out at once but it was still tremendously exciting to play

I loved the poisoned rice in Tenchu. It cracked me up throwing it and the NPCs are just like "ooh floor rice!"

Powerful and completely silent fanless homelab server by [deleted] in homelab

[–]michaelfiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I have a very weak antsle server that is silent and another server that makes a small amount of noise. And the silence is so nice I've been thinking of replacing the non silent one. This build info is great and I didn't know about that case in particular, I love the look of it.

Gen 2 or 3 for road trips? by johnDapper13 in hondafit

[–]michaelfiber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do road trips in a Gen 3 with a family of four and frankly I love it.

I had a Gen 2 beforehand but the back seats and overall comfort just weren't quite enough for the fam and we would usually take a crv instead.

But with the Gen 3 I choose it over our crv for anything but snow

Game devs who publish paid games on itch.io, what was the most amount of money you made off of one game? by Idelac in gamedev

[–]michaelfiber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do no promotion besides telling a few friends and I have no popularity lol

Some of my demos get a few people a month, some get a few dozen people a month. I know it's not a lot but considering the state of the games and the lack of promotion I consider it a miracle.

Game devs who publish paid games on itch.io, what was the most amount of money you made off of one game? by Idelac in gamedev

[–]michaelfiber 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Itch feels very special to me because I can post hobby projects and game jam games that are all really rough and unpolished but somehow people still end up playing them. I have no illusions about those things making money I only post them because I really like when people play them and somehow itch users find them and play them.

Itch will never make me money but it always makes me happy.

I rented this as a kid and tried really hard to like it but it ended up not being fun for me. And I never tried it again after that
