You cannot grasp the true form of copy-protection's attack!
- eropple 11y agoI know HN is grumbly and doesn't dig jokes, but Michael, y'all owe me a new keyboard. I remember playing around with a SNES flash cart a few years ago when I stumbled into a working SNES for $20. Earthbound was one of my favorite games as a kid, and it was the first one I went for. The cart had features I straight-up didn't understand, but proved useful for this specific game--the ability to disable SRAM banks being the big one. "Why would you ever need to do tha--oh."
- dragontamer 11y agoThe fact that this is horribly downvoted demonstrates how few people have actually played Earthbound. EDIT: Hurrah! Parent comment is positive again!
- Bahamut 11y agoI've noticed a lot of people just downvote his comments without even trying to understand anything he says - in this case, it was an amusing Earthbound related joke, and unsurprisingly downvotes follow because of the commenter, and not the comment itself. Goes to show how broken the system is.
- KeytarHero 11y agoOr people who get the joke are downvoting it because they like serious discussion and don't want this place to eventually be filled with cheap one-line jokes like Reddit.

- michaelochurch 11y agoDude, Hacker News has been battling this weird opponent for more than 4 years.
- DiabloD3 11y agoDamn, it really has been that long. 4.6 years of posting irrelevant comments and generally loving this community. I should do something for my 5th anniversary.
