• Die Jugend der Welt trifft sich zum friedlichen Wettstreit – find ich gut, will ich unterstützen
• ein kommerzielles Mega-Event macht die Stadt platt – find ich scheiße
Bei ersterem ist auch die finanzielle Frage eine andere. Eine Kulturveranstaltung sollte nicht in erster Linie nach kommerziellen Kriterien bewertet werden. Zweiteres hingegen ist eher eine Umverteilung von Steuergeldern in private Hände.

@Xexyz@mastodon.me.ukVirtua Fighter 2: no not that one
Released late in the life of the Mega Drive, Virtua Fighter 2 is a very accomplished rework of Sega's 3D fighting game. It's been reimagined in 2D, using sprites, but it feels very similar to the fighting in the 3D game - or the Saturn version of it, at least. The controls map well, with a button for each of punch, kick, and block.
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaOkay, removed the second MiSTer and made room for the OG Mega Drive/Genesis. Got it hooked up, found the right power adapter and SCART cable, and even cleaned it up a bit. Think I'm done futzing around with the shelf for the time being.

all of which leverage Trump’s status as President to lure buyers o…

@paulbusch@mstdn.caDoug Ford muses about another multi-billion dollar project that no one asked for. He suggested filling in part of Lake Ontario to build a brand new $2B convention centre near his mega-spa, formerly Ontario Place. I'm not sure if he's desperate to drive as much foot traffic as possible to the spa which is pretty much guaranteed to lose money. That's why the condemned Science Centre, with the very unsafe roof that didn't collapse after record snowfall this winter, is being moved to the mega-spa location. School buses can soon drop off kids at the new Science Centre, and the bus driver and teachers can get a facial.
There is a potential upside to this latest Ford fever dream. Lake Ontario is one of the deepest of the Great Lakes, meaning a lot of fill will be needed. But there's a proposal for a tunnel under Highway 401 and all that dirt has to go somewhere.
