@beardalaxy IIRC, the N64 stuff was from iQue's servers while the SNES, GB, and GBC were from NOA's servers. (I guess they were dumb enough to use the same password)

There is also a bit of evidence that the DX version was actually made by reverse engineering the original B&W version instead of using the source code.

Either way, I find them putting the original B&W ROM without patching it incredibly lazy. That version was notorious for game breaking bugs. It was probably the reason why the DX version was on the 3DS Virtual Console instead of the original version.

And don't give me the "we lost the original source code" excuse. The gigaleak proved otherwise.

So I was playing Link's Awakening on the Zelda G&W and realized that they didn't bother to patch the game breaking bug where you can permanently lose the wrecking ball in dungeon 7. So, I am unable to beat the game.

Such a fucking lazy job. If you are going to port over the original B&W version, at least patch all the bugs in that one. That's why I like the DX version better.

Quite possibly the oldest SDF artifact from the 1980s on System V UNIX. A dialup session dated 11/20/85 at 01:21am. Recently found in a box of 1990s punk collage show flyers.

@ChristiJunior @matrix You could literally just be gay and date men and be honest about it and have more dignity. It's disturbing how deep the rabbit hole of gayness goes beyond just being gay and sucking cock.

I like how this guy points out that Windows 2000 will run pretty much all modern software except installers refuse to work.

It's totally true, and it was the reason I moved to XP. But before I switched to XP I dual booted both Windows 2000 and XP so I could install on XP and then run from Win2k.

I swear this was some conspiracy from Microsoft to get people to upgrade.

@ItsSkyDragonz Yeah and I want to actually put it into game form. I do have a bunch of crazy locations in my dreams that would make perfect locations in games.

@shebang Oh, that really sucks. Hopefully, your finger don't feel numb.

@ooignignoktoo I'm still trying to think of one justifiable reason to have one of these home assistants. I think they could be useful for the severely disabled or the elderly but that's about it.

Which is why I wish more states would start using nullification more often when the US government passes unconstitutional laws. But even then we still have problems that states can't fix like endless wars, the federal reserve, mass surveillance, plutocracy etc. We have been dealing with these problems for decades and no president, judge, etc ever fixes them despite all their promises.
