folks thought the same for the Genesis and Atari flashbacks but some tinkering found they were using FOSS emulation. IMO FOSS projects should start charging companies that use their products dependent on scale.

pull a WordPress and force a TOS in the license to say you cannot be affiliated with Nintendo in any way in order to use this software.

they want to emulate their hardware? then they can build their own emulator.

it’s pitiful that you think a three year long career gives you the wisdom and ability to see what the next 35 years is going to need.

sit down child, nobody asked you.

time to block microsoft in pihole then.

no Microsoft, no updates.

I snuggle with my kids on cold days to keep them warm.

I cuddle with your wife on cold days to stay warm.

those are two of the easiest features to support.

what distro is giving you trouble?

what’s old is new again! they tried to pull this shit back in the day but physical media was the only delivery method. now that everything is downloaded there’s a bunch of legal grey area they’re hiding in.

so the next question, is this retroactive? if so, then when will I get my money back? Licensed software is cheaper than the full MSRP I paid for titles that had physical options I could have bought at a store. this is because licensed software usually has an expiration date while physical media with software can be installed anytime after purchase.

so, Valve, one last question.

as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.

if it weren’t for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.

could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.

I’ll tell you why. Time.

I used to live two hours away from a UPS delivery hub. it could take weeks for me to get a delivery from UPS after I was supposed to get it.

they used to not deliver packages unless you were there. I missed the first delivery, the next two times they never showed up and said they did.

over two months later I finally had to drive two hours to the distribution hub and claim my package.

I had no option of who to ship my package with. that was entirely left up to the seller.

I now live 15 minutes away from the same distribution hub and it STILL takes a month extra to get my packages.

this is why I tell every delivery service to just leave it at the door.

our options suck, sellers refuse to use USPS because we have a corrupt bitch running it that’s running it into the ground, and I just don’t have the time to wait 3-4 times the shipping length for products I bought.

back in the day I had an ATI system that shared system ram through the iGPU to the GPU(both ATI). turned my 2gb GPU into 4gb and saved me from building a new system for like a decade.

not sure if they do it anymore, but it’d be nice.

a demo in this day? dev knows what’s up

I’ll be the only barbarian relentlessly bludgeoning my prey with my bow.

as a kid I would shove them up my nose not to be seen again until out they would pop from the other side…miraculously charged.

I can’t help you. read some books maybe?

I would recommend some, but we both know you can’t read.

I have an account because I’ve shared abandonware.

you have an account because you just wanted to complain.

we are not the same.

there are few things more terrifying than owing money to the Vietnamese.
