@mr_penguin SuperTux is NOT the best game ever. It's a generic Mario clone.
You don't need to go full freetard to have an enjoyable gaming experience without the SaaS dystopia getting in your way. Just play older games (either through original hardware of emulators), mods/hacks of existing games, or DRM-free games on sites like GOG or itch.io.
Just say no to SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based delivery model where users access software applications through the internet, typically on a subscription basis. You think it couldn't happen to you until one day through no fault of your own your cut off as these innocent Russians (please note the distinction, Russians, ordinary people, are NOT the government, of which the later is evil everywhere, be it the Russian government or some other government like that of the United States, or your local state or city government) found out the hard way:

Maybe try Super Tux (the best game EVER!) instead:
Or Super Tux Cart instead:

@mr_penguin What country is the project based in? I know in some countries, hardware wallets are illegal.

@beardalaxy @bonkmaykr @graf I was way too busy with work at the time. If I were to restart it, I would use a NoSQL database this time and something other than PHP (maybe NodeJS).
@beardalaxy Yeah, I'm not using it. I need to come up with something better but my head always associates certain situations with copyrighted songs that it's hard for me to come up with something original.
And here is the result, recomposed as a full orchestra. This is based off of a victory screech my siblings and I would make when we accomplished something or received something good.
But it turns out that there is a decent FOSS desktop program known as NeuralNote. It it's 100x better than those subpar web apps because it doesn't output any artifact notes.
So it looks like the plan to record a fanfare with a kazoo and convert it to midi to play with better instruments didn't work out.
Most online audio to MIDI converters suck and the ones that don't are proprietary and expensive. They add extra notes to the outputted MIDI files and no matter what instrument you use to play the file, it sounds terrible.
Not to mention that playing the kazoo is actually a skill in of itself. I thought it was the easiest instrument, but it took me a while to realize that you are actually supposed to hum into it and not blow in it.

So, either a system, where some kids have a bad life, or a system where all of them have a bad life....
So it looks like half of you would rather spend your entire lives as someone else's property than to spend 13 years in school.
