Wow, that’s kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

I might as well double down while I’m here, “we don’t take kindly” was too aggressive wording.

I meant something more neutral like “I think y’all are weird”.

That way, the y’all is the problematic part. That was my point.

As for “y’all” or “you all”, I don’t see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.

I think “we don’t take kindly to y’all” to a trans person would likely be offensive. Beyond that though, you’re probably okay.

I laughed way too hard at this lmao

I mean, they are located in Japan, so it’s not like Yakuza don’t exist (though to be fair Yakuza don’t really target foreigners).

There are dozens of us!

I think even if they do reverse course or it was a genuine mistake, it’s easy to lose people’s trust forever, ESPECIALLY when it comes to something sensitive like storing ALL of your passwords.

Nah there were definitely games that had disappointing graphics relative to what I was expecting lol

Although it’s true, we generally were more forgiving about graphics back then than we are these days.

That actually doesn’t sound that bad lol

For me, the biggest thing was the program not running from a single window. IIRC there was actually a separate fork of GIMP that made it run in a single window called GIMPshop or something, and that made it into a single window. I’m not sure when GIMP itself got single window functionality.

It’s a lot more usable these days.

Is the source code for HG/SS the latest or is it from an earlier build?

No other company aggressively goes after its fans quite like Nintendo does. Nintendo have not only gone after fan projects made by fans showing their love for their beloved games, but also gone after community-run tournaments that in no way affect Nintendo, etc. Nintendo are pretty awful.

Gen 4 was peak IMO, both the new Pokemon were excellent as well as the best remakes ever made. Gen 4 has Platinum and HeartGold SoulSilver which are the best games in the series.

That has to be a real wake up call to Nintendo.

That’s optimistic thinking. Nintendo doesn’t learn, they just bulldoze.

$100 LOL

They really, really, really, really earned it.

I think it is fair. When you buy games through GOG, you get the offline installer. Nobody can take that away from you.

When you buy games through Steam, you can only install them via the Steam client. If the Steam servers are offline, you cannot install your games. In theory, some games are without any DRM, and you can just zip them up, but even then that doesn’t always work, and you shouldn’t have to. That’s not to take away from Steam, of course, it is great at what it does.

Providing an offline installer that works no matter what is as good as “owning” the game IMO, even if “technically” you are just purchasing a license to use the game.

True, that’s a good point. Well, two good points.

That’s what private trackers (and torrents in general) are for, but private trackers commonly share copyrighted materials, which is of course not so legal depending on where you live.

Yeah but if I replace them, it’s not like I get my saves back, right?
