@GrungeQueef This uhh, a way to make sure that China maintains it's lead? They can steal from us all they want, but we're not allowed to take what they make and improve it?

Okay, I need a "level complete" fanfare along with a more extended version for obtaining the mirror. I'll promise to give credit.

What type of series (be it books, movies, or video games) do you prefer? Would you rather have a series that could theoretically go on forever (e.g Mario, Call of Duty, etc) or a series with a definitive end-point (e.g Earthbound/Mother, most book series etc.).

7% A series with no definitive end-point/conclusion.
92% A series with a definitive end-point. (Concludes willingly by creator).

Is it possible to get anyone over the age of 40 to change their views on anything? It seems like once you've reached a certain age, you think you have all the knowledge and wisdom and you refuse to believe anything different.

@ArdainianRight I love how his website also has zine articles on veganism. Apparently he doesn't realize that most HRT tablets come from lactose and gelatin and a therefore, not vegan.

@coolboymew @Inginsub @PurpCat @mitchconner @eric It boggles my mind that that thing had a vibrant gaming scene. The ZX Spectrum didn't even have a GPU or a sound chip, so everything was done by the CPU. That's why almost none of the games had music.

@PurpCat @Inginsub @mitchconner @eric @coolboymew I loved his Fact Hunt videos. They are actual video game trivial that isn't the obvious crap like "Did you know that the PlayStation used to be an add-on for the SNES?". But I never really cared about anything else by him. European retro gamers have shit taste in games. It's just them gushing about ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amiga games that only they remember.

TIL as a programmer:

I hate MSVC now :) It makes sense why everyone uses MinGW now.

I am starting to think a lot of the myths Rust cultists believe about C are actually just because Microsoft does not know how to write a compiler.

re: Proprietary software censorsing people automatically

@mangeurdenuage The idiots on the receiving end of this spent the last 10 goddamn years playing hall monitor for the establishment just so they could get the dopamine hit from seeing the "other side" get punished. We REPEATEDLY tried to warn them that there was going to be a time that the beast they loved feeding so much was going to turn on them, that they were the pets rather than the masters, and they sneered and scoffed. Even now their only problem with Elon was that he took one of their favorite toys away and STOPPED censoring in a way they enjoyed.

They can rot in hell.

Proprietary software censorsing people automatically

Reminder that no matter what "political" side you're on, they can do this to you.
What is legal today will not be tomorrow.

Reminder that only software and hardware freedom will avoid this dystopia.

@coolboymew @Inginsub @PurpCat @mitchconner @eric I think Nintendo was more concerned about untrusted developers leaking SDKs and finding exploits that could be used for piracy or something like that.

The only time Nintendo allowed consumer programmability before WiiWare was the Family BASIC for the Famicom, but unlike the Net Yaroze or the WonderWitch for the WonderSwan, you couldn't get your game published. It was more of a learning tool.
