This would have been hilarious

"No support is provided for the Android app,; it is free, and your expectations should be in line with that. Please do not email me about issues about it, or ask for help, you will be ignored." states Duckstation Developer.

There seems to be a pattern here where the community has a (possible?) minority of extremely negative people who make life difficult for developers who are giving away their software for free.

Reverse engineering an entire piece of hardware, and re-implementing that as code, must be such an involved task. The PS1's hardware is absolutely bananas to me - I tried to learn to use PsyQ (the Psygnosis SDK) years ago and the furthest I got was flashing some multi-colored text on the screen because you had to understand the hardware at a fairly low level (buffers, z-tables, and a bunch of other shit) just to get sprites working iirc.

I just don't get the sense of entitlement from a userbase who aren't paying anything for the emulators, the games (in most cases), and aren't even contributing to the code themselves because they don't want to put the work in, but will happily cause stress to the devs without thinking twice about it?

I'd be willing to help you train to fight the T-Rex. You don't have to lose.

Punishment fits the crime. Fits it like a lovely, well-made sock.

Why should he pay them reasonable rates? He's not a martyr!

And then pat their heads afterwards 🐶

He's a little shit. But he's your little shit. It's just the way it goes. Enjoy him 🐱

I admire your restraint!

I did, yep. I mean, my PC is fairly old so I don't think I'll play the current "enhanced" version on Steam even when I do eventually get round to trying it.

You should know, you're an introvert turtle for crying out loud!

What a sad story but at least they went together.

But holy moly, that website is literally 50% content and 50% ads.

Thanks, boomer (from a fellow boomer)

Oh shit, this is great. I remember seeing FFVII on the Dream List thing GOG has, and thinking "that'll probably never happen".

This game was a huge part of my childhood, it's great to see it being taken care of.

Was her second word "ACHTUNG!"?

That's definitely the face of mild concern.

I guess the teachers will just have to make educated guesses based on which students they presume will end up strung out, and then have only those kids practice the introductions.

(But, for real, I've encountered this shit in numerous workplaces)

Have experienced similar. People love to speculate on this shit, for some reason. Ain't they own sex lives interesting enough?!

I have to agree with this. Steam has facilitated an explosion of amazing indie games. Even if you have a potato PC, you can still pick up Balatro, Loop Hero, Cave Story, Slay the Spire, and more.

The era I'm personally most nostalgic for would be the late 90's. But as you now have the ability to emulate any of those games, I don't see how the generation they originated in could be better than this one.

Correction: Sentence flow. I'm tired

Why the fuck does he keep writing like that
