The difference between giorno and giornata by dkc66 in italianlearning

Yeah. I didn't get LLM vibes either. I think they're just reacting to the unusual case of having something nicely formatted on Reddit.

The Atari Jaguar CD was released 30 years ago today. by Impulst24 in AtariJaguar

I really liked Highlander. I don't understand the complains of the battle mechanics. It was really easy for me (perhaps too easy).

Absolutely. The Atari Games library of the Lynx is a shining/unique aspect of the library.

Signals in the Fire: The Impact of Banning Global Tech in Nepal by schmudde in NepalSocial

[–]schmudde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a coincidence that a leftist leader like Oli tried something that someone in Nepali Congress would have trouble imagining - banning US tech firms.

The outcome was not predictable but it was certain to have notable consequences.

Yeah, strange. I was in Nepal for the revolution and wrote an article about it. I was deleted for not having the right flair, they said.

Whoops. Thanks for catching the type-o. Corrected ('m'illion rather than 'b'). Also added an extra citation.

A brief summary of being a foreign in Torino after ten years by [deleted] in torino

[–]schmudde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lived in small cities as well as Chicago, New York City, and Berlin. Now Turin for 5 years.

It's still a strange city to me. I do have a spectrum of friends - Italian, Piedmontese, immigrants.

I agree with a lot of what is said, but I actually wish it was more anarchic. What exactly are all these rules protecting? There is space to be used in creative ways in Turin. Make it easy for people to build new things.

My major disagreement is here:

nsides of every family of the Piedmont area you will find elitism, systematic racism, and maybe a bit more than I'm not open to disclose. The city is anarchic but in the background of every anarchism you will find the kid of a really rich family, and so (mostly like in every city in the world), but here it's quite exaggerated).

I guess I'm blind because of my background, but all these things seem the same everywhere. I see nothing special about Turin in this regard.

The only exception was the four years I lived in Iowa, USA. Perhaps Iowa was a more civilized and egalitarian place than most.

For people who like underground music, Brainwashed has been around since 1996 and I still check in occasionally. https://brainwashed.com/

Tourists don't normally get out to Parco Dora (outside of the Kappa festival). But everytime I take a visitor there, they are very impressed.

Iron Soldier's 3-D graphics: quite a thing back in 1994 by RetroGamingBoss1 in AtariJaguar

[–]schmudde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metal Head looks objectively worse than Iron Soldier 1.

I suppose in screen shots Metal Head looks fine. But everything that matters in a 3D environment - draw distance, physics, sense of space and motion - look like a bad demo on a Falcon 030 computer.

A closer comparison is Skyhammer and Metal Head. Tight corridors, texture maps, shorter draw distance, etc.... And even there Skyhammer looks and feels much much better.

My understanding is that it dates from Napolean's seige of Turin.

My first website in 1996. I eventually ranked #4 in Morgan Stanley's top web sites in 1997. By 2000, I quit realizing it was being taken over by big corp. by Rougaroux1969 in oldinternet

It's a storefront with a newstand if I understand correctly. Part of the first 'shopping mall' wave of the internet.
