It is in our personal best interest to do a balanced combination of the following:

Improve our position in life
Try not to harm others in the process
Try to contribute to the advancement of human civilization
Try to help protect the ability of human civilization to thrive

Those who have above average influence in the world get our attention due to the fourth bullet. Influencers can be in the form of people and/or organizations.

The influencers are prioritized based on their overall influence, and whether or not their influence is helping human civilization to thrive in the long-term.

The current actions of influencers are more important than their past actions.

Those influencers causing the most harm to human civilization and/or the highest risk to the long-term thriving of human civilization require our attention, to help circumvent the damage and the risks.

Got Open Syobon Action ported and will send a port email in, patched it to support full installation, fixed a memleak, and added pledge(2) support for the real autists in the back.

So I managed to get a PC-98 machine that satisfies the narrow set of conditions for running a PC-9801-14 soundboard (slow CPU mode that approximates a V30, it can be faster, no sound ROM, and the ability to remap devices away from INT5/6/whatever resources the 9801-14 takes up.), and then since the GreaseWeazle couldn't write a N88-BASIC disk (seriously does any of this shit I find online even work?), I just used a FlashFloppy. While 2 of the images I tried wouldn't load because let's be honest N88-basic disk support is jank as shit for floppy emulators and writers, a .d88 file of Galaga did and I was able to find out something major: NP21w and seemingly no PC-98 emulators are able to actually emulate most N88-Basic games using the 9801-14 due to the fact that the sound ROMs are undumped.

Good thing I've got a copy of those too. How many PC-9801 games were missing music because nobody has this rare TMS3631 based sound card?

I wish Mars One wasn't a scam. I bet there would be more people signing up for that than ever, given the direction society is going.
