That's because the format is different.

The data used in the original has very little information it needed because the system it ran on had very little it could do. Now, you need to specify more to get it to run because the system has more it could do and requires more information.

If your phone had a special emulator on it that ran arcade games emulating the hardware of the 80's, you could have game files that are the same size as back then. But the emulator would take up more space than the converted game by itself.

If you were good at programming, you could probably make the game a bit smaller, but no matter how good you are, you'll never get it to run on a modem system as small as it was in the day.

does the map change shape as you get further in the game?

The western peninsula gets straighter and longer over time?

How many holes does a ring have?

One, right?

Now, what if you stretch that ring along is axis until it's the same shape as a straw.

Did you create any new holes by doing that? No, you didn't. It's still the same single hole.

Well tell me this.

How many holes does a donut have?

You wouldn't say it has two, would you?

And if you pull the top face of the donut up to lengthen it into a straw, you didn't create any new holes, so why would it suddenly be two?

and they always think they won the argument, too.

Like just calling bullshit is a foolproof rebuttal to anything anyone could say.

Lucky for me, my subscription for cloud storage that I already had comes with free VPN service.

After this law was introduced in Utah, Utah immediately became the #1 state searching the term "VPN".

With more searches than the next 4 states combined.

you were closing it on his tail, what did you expect? Sitting here flipping him off for being upset that you were jamming his tail in the door? Some people, I tell ya.

I don't want Spyke to become part of the Fediverse. I have been intentionally avoiding the Fediverse. one of the selling points of Spyke, for me, is that it's not the Fediverse
