You're right, fixed it. I discussed it extensively with a colleague and that got conflated. It's a great article.

Claude is subconsciously a fan on Crystal Quest?! Loved that game on the Mac back in '95! The article and video are great satire too.

Impressive stuff but it would be polite to the potentially interested users if the line, "... this package is currently a proof of concept with limited direct use", had been put a little earlier. It's about nine or so dense p

I didn't realise but by chance i bumped into this last night. I wanted to remove a few letters from the Star Wars logo and it refused... Thought it was a bit much, but it mentioned third party concerns.

Interesting idea. It spreads the effort for maintaining the list of trusted people, which is helpful. However I still see a potential firehose of randoms requesting to be vouched for. Various ways one might manage that, perhaps even some mo

Interestingly neither their GitHub nor the La Suite front page (translated) actually mention "office" - that's what the OP titled it.

Even with tooling isn't this kind of effort going to be enormously complicated, because, as I understand it, so many aspects of the behaviour of 8-bit and console games relied on all sorts of clever techniques, timing quirks and other
