the three rows of water hurt a little when the farm is exactly as large as a single block of water could handle, but I know it’s for aesthetics

Screen_Shatter,

As the one in my family who always does the farming while the others ignore it and explore it hurts me. I need things efficient, or I will never escape!

Not even for aesthetics lol. It was just out of habit from being younger and playing minecraft

This isnt always valid excuse tbh. Ofcourse rushing and dying is bad, but if your team put together a strategy and you failed to even be there for that that strategy and are therefore left alive by yourself then that is lame of you.

Woah, it’s real.

They also do this in Rocky mountain national Park

Yes, but you took the time to do it. Then you took the time to share the link, which got me to read it, which taught me about all the fancy tech they use to clear the road. I was ready to just call it a neat pic and move on, but now I got a lot more out of it. So…ummm…Schmetterlingseffekt? 😄

Solid farm. Makes me we want to boot up my old world.

You got scammed that’s a standard Switch.

demunted,

His mom called, it’s a Nintendo.

racketlauncher831,

No. It’s a genuine Nintendo Switch knock-off, called P Svita.

dwindling7373,

That’s just the Saudi branding of Nintendo Switch.

truxnell, do games w I'm genuinely sad about the Marathon situation

If you think that’s rough, growing up with the classic makes it really rough to see them force a generic extraction shooter into a beloved franchise for no reason

How do they even know where the fuckin road is under 60ft of snow to say nothing of how they actually do it

Nurse_Robot,

I assume they don’t wait until there’s 60 feet to start plowing

KingJalopy,
@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah but those perfectly straight walls of snow make me question that. It looks carved.

unexposedhazard,

Either that or this magical thing called GNSS :)
Openstreetmap has roads mapped down to a couple decimeters and Japan has its own satellite constellation QZSS, which in combination would be more than enough to find the center of the road and then slowly work your way outwards to the edges.

towelie,

That doesn’t all fall at once haha. They continually plow after every snow fall and add to the existing piles. How they manage to keep stacking and carving it so perfectly and so high is a mystery to me, but I’m sure the snow is only this high in this particular area. It’s likely an attraction or something

KingJalopy,
@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah I know it doesn’t fall at once lol but like I just commented it’s so perfectly carved

towelie,

Found it! It is a tourist attraction:

And here’s how they do it:

KingJalopy,
@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

Ok awesome! They use GPS and bulldozers and plows. That makes sense. That said, seems like they do wait for it to all fall then they carve it. Very fucking cool.

KingJalopy,
@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

Damnit I replied before I read your second link lol. I went down a rabbit hole

KingJalopy,
@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

That was such a cool read. Thanks for that, I’ve had a rough few days and to read that at 630 this morning set me right for some reason. Have a great day, friend!

@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world avatar

Sometime in early March, a bulldozer specially equipped with both a GPS and a mobile satellite phone is sent up the mountain and over the Snow Canyon. The GPS and sat phone work in tandem to provide the driver a detailed video screen image of the dozer’s location in relation to the center of the snow-buried highway. This driver’s job is not to clear snow, but simply to lay out an accurate track of the road itself. Following the GPS dozer is a team of dozers that will begin the clearing operations.

Gas is actually cheaper now than it used to be when I started driving in the 2010s. At that time, gas was over $4 a gallon at times and $4 was worth more back then. It still blows my mind that most of the people whining about gas prices are out here buying giant trucks and SUVs that get like 20 mpg on the highway, meanwhile my experience with gas prices made me rank fuel efficiency as one of my top priorities in a new vehicle.

Kissaki, do gaming w List of Fan (OpenSource) Ports/Remakes of Games

You title them ports or remakes - do these all require the original game asset files?

When I read remake, I thought they’d be independent games, inspired by or replicating the originals.

Is it mixed? That info would be helpful for a list and an overview. For most, I wouldn’t have any assets.

ferric_carcinization, do gaming w Got my Switch 2 early! Tears of the Kingdom is amazing on this thing :)

I haven’t used moonlight on the vita, can you map touch input to L2/R2/L3/R3? The back touch-area would probalby be good for the triggers & L3/R3 aren’t used that often, so the touchscreen might work for that.

What’s the latency like?

_pete_,

Honestly terrible, the Vita’s WiFi chip is lousy so even with a wired PC and sitting right next to the router the lag is pretty poor.

Also the lack of additional triggers really causes problems for a game like Zelda where you’re expected to use them a lot, you can use the touch pad but the lack of feedback makes it pretty unplayable.

Its a fun experiment though!

ferric_carcinization,

If only moonlight could use the USB connection, like vitastick.

Do the triggers from bluetooth controllers work with moonlight? I don’t remember if you can normally connect controllers to the vita, but there’s this plugin that makes the vita think that it’s a pstv, which makes it support multiple gamepads.

racketlauncher831,

Damn, then what’s the effing point? It’s practically a mini monitor with some buttons.

Cheaper than the PS Remote Play

ferric_carcinization,

The Vita has some good games, and it has built-in support for psp & ps1 games, which is not emulation IIRC. It can be a nice portable emulation machine, especially the Vita 1000 model, with the OLED display. The 2000 isn’t as nice due to the worse display.

Xbox360 Minecraft is on Java version 1.13.2 isn’t it? That’s the version where they added underwater temples and those fish mini bosses. Must’ve been around 2019, that’s shortly before i stopped playing after I started in 2011.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I think so, yeah. I’m not playing the latest version so i can’t say for sure but I know PS3 edition goes up that high though so i’d have to assume 360 does too

Jakule17,

They added guardians in 1.8, 1.13 is fast swimming, tridents, drowned
