All of the 16bit and older games will have to be emulated.

That’s been my problem with it as well. I still do like dusting it off every now and again. It has the best land to space travel transition of any game I’ve ever played.

Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.

Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.

That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.

I think we’re using different terms for hacking. You are using the exploit definition.

You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M3, M4, or M5 today. Not yet possible.

Edit: Even the M1 and M2 Linux support was entirely reverse engineered. The hardware is not open, it’s not a personal computer.

The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about MacBooks.

Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.

Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.

So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.

I will pass, but just wanted to say thank you for being awesome!

I love these games. Apparently some of the artwork has been changed instead of enhanced leading some to scream censorship. I wonder if a naked statue is really the thing to get up in arms about.

Wow looks like it was released last year. Thanks, I had no idea!

Computers work with 1s and 0s. We have decided as a society that certain combinations of those equate to being copywritable. This ruling seems to be saying the result of a calculation cannot be copywritable? Wouldn’t creative tools like movie editor or photoeditor disagree? So then is the ruling actually saying these specific values used in this instance are not copywritable, changing the health to 100 for e.g., because there is no human creativity in the result of that value?

So if a programmer used an original work of art to define the state of health in the actual code, and verified the value matches the 1s and 0s that represent that work of art (thus it only ever comes down to boolean check in the logic side, and the value of the variable is never set to something simple like 0 to 100, it was using a huge amount of RAM and a very slow comparator operator.

Yea, I went there.

I’m not explaining it properly. Imagine instead of 100 hp, there is apple bananas. That isn’t really a mathematic representation in the same way that the cheat code can change. It would be a copyrighted work of art. It wouldn’t be trivial to build an hp system to do this (in fact it would be a large undertaking), but I am not asking about practicality, just what the law would find.

I mean what if you didn’t use 20/100 for the value, you used a symbol (in the code as the value). Would it still apply?

What if the health values are human creations like special symbols or works of creative art?

Make sure you have an off-site backup or it, too, will one day poof out of existence!

Hoping for Deckard with this.

Anyone need a dose of Hopium? Maybe this is what Deckard has been waiting on.

Sounds like you just invented Roblox.

I support Valve for creating these things which I value and appreciate. Which keeps me buying on Steam instead of Gog first as GP is endorsing. If Gog makes a handheld or any other type of hardware that helps push the industry forward, I will definitely reconsider.

When the Gog Deck or Gog VR headset comes out I might do that too.

Isn’t there some way to design the multiplayer to not trust the client? Assume the client has aimbot and all can see through walls, etc. Design it with those things being expected instead of all this draconian pwn the user’s system nonsense.

So are PlayStation consoles running Windows? FFS this is short sighted tying yourself to your competitor like that.

Cell to Singularity is a great little mobile game that does have microtransactions but are easy to ignore/avoid. I played through it several times and may need to dust it off for another playthrough. Great music too.

I like 213 to travel back in time as I go.

The other article circulating said the artwork was original as well as the code.

The “article” reads like a drama. The dude has all original code and artwork and a different game engine. The screenshots show a very simplistic thing… you wouldn’t sue someone because their stick figures look too much like yours. If the game was copied that quickly there wasn’t much substance there to begin with imo.

Meta should have embraced interoperability and Valve should have released a game engine for VR and Alyx as nothing more than a tech demo and we would have been way better off. As it is, we have an amazing single game with a shit modding capability and everything else is on Meta.

Steam Deck is an AMD APU that is AMD64/x86_64 architecture.

Fuck exclusives.

I feel like you had to learn how to use it, operators and phrasing etc. They dumbed it down with search suggestions and even further by changing search terms to synonyms, and now outright ignoring terms. Height of Internet search was definitely pre 2008. More like 2005.

Because they force you to use online accounts now, you can get it from the registered account via the Microsoft account page.

In your Microsoft account: Open a web browser on another device. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey to find your recovery key.

Solution is simple. Sell their fucking games on Steam.

Reread the comment I replied to and then reread my comment. You are putting words in my mouth. I never mentioned anything about sharing anything nor implied anything of the sort.

Better not ever fantasize about anyone without their consent, either.

I have about 15-20 z80 dip processors if anyone wants to buy them. Most are still factory sealed. PM me if interested.

Why don’t they go with Microsoft Defender for Linux? I have never used it so don’t know if it’s still a battery hog…

Not any app has direct access to every key that you type like the keyboard app does. It has all access to literally every PII you enter in using it. If any app needs additional scrutiny it would be the keyboard.
