I’m so tired of the popups. YOY DON’T NEED A POPUP TO USE COOKIES! Just stop tracking people across sites and you’re good. Cookies, localstorage or fingerprinting makes no difference. The distinction is whether you track users or not. You a

Nonsense. Theft by definition requires the original owner to lose something. Me not buying something is not theft.

Yes, a horrible idea. It's like throwing a kid in deep water and expecting them to swim. Border line child abuse. I didn't even bother with a broomstick for my kids. I just ran along, holding the cargo rack. It didn't take th

Exactly. Everyone used tapes and turbo loaders. The screen of "Turbo 250 By Mr. Z" felt like magic. Not only could you load a game in one minute instead of ten, but you suddenly had extra commands available in the basic prompt. h

No source is truly lost when you have a disassembler. :D

I don’t think source was ever used for porting in those days anyway. The asm wasn’t directly portable for sure. The c64 levels are pretty close to the arcade, apart from the arcade having 26 rows of tiles rather than the c64’s 25. The nes v

You can also heat them up, making the resin brittle so you can chip it away and replace the battery.

I think covenant made more sense story wise than Prometheus. Romulus basically doesn’t have a story.

I ran into some issues with what might be compiler bugs in cc65, a C compiler for the 6502 processor (c64, NES, Apple 1). I might see if I can get this set up. Apparently VICE supports "printing" to a file on the host OS, so I cou

I have absolutely zero interest in 6dof gaming. On the other hand, I dreamt of 3dof gaming since the 90s. Once the technology started emerging, I was so exited about the potential. A few games gained support for shutter glasses etc, but 6do

When I'm tired I sometimes get an inner monologue that just keeps going, but it's nonsensical, like a Markov chain. I have to actively stop it. Annoying.
