Could also say "no hair, don't care" ๐Ÿ‘ด

2040: Disgusted by how his software was once used to play pirated PS1 games, Duckstation now only plays Public Domain roms despite being the most hardware-accurate emulator in existence.

That would be a Gigachad move. He could launch a Kickstarter for a TempleOS port

"No support is provided for the Android app,; it is free, and your expectations should be in line with that. Please do not email me about issues about it, or ask for help, you will be ignored." states Duckstation Developer.

There seems to be a pattern here where the community has a (possible?) minority of extremely negative people who make life difficult for developers who are giving away their software for free.

Reverse engineering an entire piece of hardware, and re-implementing that as code, must be such an involved task. The PS1's hardware is absolutely bananas to me - I tried to learn to use PsyQ (the Psygnosis SDK) years ago and the furthest I got was flashing some multi-colored text on the screen because you had to understand the hardware at a fairly low level (buffers, z-tables, and a bunch of other shit) just to get sprites working iirc.

I just don't get the sense of entitlement from a userbase who aren't paying anything for the emulators, the games (in most cases), and aren't even contributing to the code themselves because they don't want to put the work in, but will happily cause stress to the devs without thinking twice about it?

Punishment fits the crime. Fits it like a lovely, well-made sock.

Good. As time goes on, a Donald Trump endorsement will hopefully be the death knell of any goofball's political aspirations.

It was lovely to see Jake get fucked up by Joshua last year. Hopefully Ngannou will do the same to him this Christmas ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ

Was her second word "ACHTUNG!"?

You should know, you're an introvert turtle for crying out loud!

I guess the teachers will just have to make educated guesses based on which students they presume will end up strung out, and then have only those kids practice the introductions.

(But, for real, I've encountered this shit in numerous workplaces)

 
 

Which game have you been the most patient for (as in, delaying purchase)?

For me, it would have to be GTA V. I stopped playing games for years, then built a new rig in 2018. Since then I've played through GTA IV (well, I beat the story, and it was amazing), but I never played GTA V.

My plan is to purchase it and start playing it the day GTA VI is released, as I have enough other games to get through in the meantime.
