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

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!

People buy into the BS sold by companies, they eat it all up without thinking twice about it. It’s easier to point fingers at each other than at companies when companies are paying so much money to attack end-users.

Sounds like a pretty shitty place to work for then lol

My first job I was using Windows, thankfully I was able to use Linux my next 3 jobs in a row. It really helps justify Linux when our production servers are always running Linux.

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.

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.

Yeah, Google Cache does seem like it has been gone for years. I can’t even recall the last time I was able to use it.

Which bcrypt does, since it generates a unique salt per-password.

We would need all peasants doing it at once. One peasant doing it just means you get your head cut off, which unfortunately doesn’t help.

At one point I even fixed an issue following a forum post I made myself years ago.

I love when that happens lmao, it’s the best. Thank you past me.
