    Fantastic video! Do keep in mind however, that Thunderf00t is a very socially and economically conservative person of which you should watch with caution. I mostly keep to watching his Elon dunk videos and his pseudo-scientific-Kickstarter de-legitimizing videos.

    China's take on the Japanese government's handling of the situation, largely due to some of the isotopes they haven't filtered out. Particularly the strontium, iodine, and carbon variants. These have leaked into said wastewater due to the meltdown in several of Fukushima's reactors.

    Thank you for your response! Yes, it is true that the States were limited to the east coast initially, though it took so little time to expand westward that I opted to omit it for conciseness of the text. However, as this did play a vital role in their expansionary mentality, and the brutality that the states would show to their fellow human beings, I realize now I should not have excluded it. Especially given how they were constantly rewarded for their effort to eradicate the natives with land, slaves, and resources.

    I've been working on re-implementing a board game in C. However, when running the players positions don't increment.\ **Current output:** ``` 6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7 6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7 ``` **Expected output:** ``` 6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7 14, 15, 19, 16, 13, 13, 14, 17 ``` **Code:** ``` #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> // Define types here: typedef enum {false, true} bool; // Define constants here: const unsigned char MAXPLAYERS = 7; //Game has max of 8 players const unsigned char SPACES = 40; //Board has 40 spaces const unsigned int SEED = 51732; //Seed for random numbers const unsigned int DIE = 6; //Number of sides of die // Define variables here: unsigned char player = 0; unsigned char player_position [] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}; unsigned char die = 0; // Define functions here: // Moves player Input spaces. void move_player (char moves) { player_position [player] += moves; if (player_position [player] > SPACES) { player_position [player] -= SPACES; } } // Switches active player in order. void increment_player () { player ++; if (player > MAXPLAYERS) { player = 0; } } // Returns random number between 1 - Input. unsigned char rand_num (unsigned char max) { unsigned char i; i = rand () % max + 1; return (i); } // Sets dice variable && returns 1 if double. bool roll_dice () { unsigned char a = rand_num (DIE); unsigned char b = rand_num (DIE); die = a + b; return (0); } // Main logic int main () { char input = 0; srand (SEED); printf ("Game client started.\n", "Press enter to iterate turns.\n"); while (1) { scanf ("%c", &input); for (unsigned char i; i <= MAXPLAYERS; i++) { roll_dice (); move_player (die); increment_player (); } printf ("%2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i\n", player_position [0], player_position [1], player_position [2], player_position [3], player_position [4], player_position [5], player_position [6], player_position [7]); } return (0); } ```

    # Simple Guide for the Installation and Configuration of RetroArch ## Preamble This guide assumes the use of the [flatpak](https://www.flatpak.org/) version of the software as found through [flathub](https://flathub.org/), and that you are using a Debian base (such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or ElementaryOS). ## Part One - Installation ### Configure and Installation of flatpak *NOTE: This can be skipped if flatpak is already installed and configured for use with flathub* First and foremost, run `sudo apt install flatpak`. After that, all that is left is configuring for operation with flathub. This can be done by running `flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`. ### Installation of RetroArch From this point the installation is rather simple. Just run `flatpak install org.libretro.RetroArch` in your terminal *In some cases you may have to restart your session (logout and in again), in order for the application to show in your application menu.* ## Part Two - Configure Controls Upon first launch of the application, the need to configure a controller is likely. To accomplish this, go to `Settings > Input > Port'ControllerPortNumber'Controls`. At this point, all that is needed is selecting `SetAllControls`. After doing this, press the buttons displayed on screen via the controller, ignoring any buttons the controller lacks. This can be repeated for any other controllers you want to add. ## Part Three - Downloading Cores From this point, cores (emulators) will need to be downloaded. To do this, go to `MainMenu > OnlineUpdater > CoreDownloader` in the menu system. From here download the cores you wish to install, this is done via left click or the enter key. ## Part Four - Importing ROMs ### Standard Import Now, the need to import the ROMs (games) is imminent. First, go to `ImportContent > ScanDirectory > 'Where/ever/you/keep/your/ROMs' > ScanThisDirectory`. This should automatically import all of your ROMs into the program. If this does not work, it will be necessary to import the ROMs manually. ### Manual Import Manual import is useful for when more manual control is required. An example of this would be if the ROMs are stored in archive files. First, go to `ImportContent > ManualScan`. From here, select the directory the ROMs are stored in, the console those ROMs are for, a default core for their execution *(not necessary)*, the file extensions those ROMs are stored as, and whether or not to scan inside archive files (such as zips). ## Part Five - Adding BIOSes *NOTE: Only needed for newer consoles (a good rule of thumb is optical drive era and later).* All that is needed here is the downloading of the various [BIOS files](https://archive.org/download/retroarchbiospack1.0312020/Retroarch%20BIOS%20Pack%20%2806-28-2022%29.zip) into the correct location. The location in question being `~/.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/system`. The prior link contains a zip file with the various BIOS files needed for every system (as of 2020).

    KYIV, UKRAINE—In a desperate plea for aid in the continued effort to expel his nation’s Russian occupiers, sources reported Friday that President Volodymyr Zelensky had called upon the United States to send a totally psycho marine to assist in Ukraine’s war effort. “You know, one of those expertly trained, one-man-army guys who carries an arsenal on his back and has killed so many people in combat he’s now cold, unfeeling, and completely insane—you gotta have at least one of those to spare, right?” said Zelensky, specifying that the ideal candidate would be a wild-eyed shirtless muscleman who functioned as a completely self-sufficient killing machine and could take out hundreds, if not thousands, of enemies all by himself. “In order to get the upper hand against Russia, we’re going to need your most batshit, balls-to-the-wall ex-special-forces guy. He’ll have a crazy name like Razor or Bloodhound or something, and he’ll always be blacking out and waking up covered in blood with a whole village dead around him. If he has a personal score to settle with the Russians, that’s great, but the most important thing is that he just kills and kills and kills and kills—sometimes using a cherished hunting knife that belonged to a fallen comrade, even though a gun would be faster. Honestly, he can kill a few Ukrainians too, if he wants, just so long as he gets the job done.” At press time, the U.S. Marine Corps had reportedly agreed to send “the craziest motherfucker” it had, just as soon as he had applied his face paint, donned a necklace of severed human ears, and stopped in for chest wax.

    Earlier today a comrade got a pretty good tankie instance for Mastodon on [this post](https://lemmy.ml/post/691206) of theirs. So I was thinking, due such things exist for other federated platforms such as Pixelfed and Peertube? And if so, which are the best for our purposes?
