@DarkFox That's good to hear, it wasn't shitty enough as it was.

This was my first ever exposure to Battletech, and 35 years later I still love the franchise. This looks awesome.

Hehe, 9 year old me teaching myself Turbo Pascal from library books in an effort to learn how to make my own computer games. I was shamelessly ripping off Battletoads with my own game called "Body Building Frogs"

Could you not convert your characters over? I don't play either one (I was more into Palladium games like TMNT and Heroes, or the old Westwood Star Wars), but I feel like it could be doable?

There were us knowledgeable early adopters who were ridiculed endlessly by ... pretty much everybody ... who actually worked to build the thing. Then the companies came.... and brought with them the ignorant, unthinking majority of the lowest common denominator who believe everything they're told to believe. I call it stolen. The consumer class that followed the corporations didn't build this place, nor did they represent what we had built.

This page best view with: Netscape Navigator 3.0!

That would certainly make it difficult to include then, hehe, thanks

The unthinking sheeple who remain behind, the lowest common denominator of humanity.... I won't really miss them, honestly.

Hehe, the actual "old internet" resembles the fediverse of today, it's what we thought the internet was supposed to be back then. Once corporations found the internet, we got the bullshit we have today.

Rock and stone, brother!

 

In 1999, America Online's volunteer chat room monitors sued the company for back wages. Do today's hot Internet companies risk the same fate?

 

I currently run a magazine, and have auto-federate tags set up to help bring in relevant content. However, a lot of content I would like to federate is not using hashtags in any capacity. Is there a way I can set the magazine up to federate based on a fediverse link instead?

Specifics:

I run @DwarfFortress
I want to auto-federate in anything from @dwarffortress regardless of if a hashtag is included.

Thanks!
