folks thought the same for the Genesis and Atari flashbacks but some tinkering found they were using FOSS emulation. IMO FOSS projects should start charging companies that use their products dependent on scale.

pull a WordPress and force a TOS in the license to say you cannot be affiliated with Nintendo in any way in order to use this software.

they want to emulate their hardware? then they can build their own emulator.

it’s pitiful that you think a three year long career gives you the wisdom and ability to see what the next 35 years is going to need.

sit down child, nobody asked you.

time to block microsoft in pihole then.

no Microsoft, no updates.

I snuggle with my kids on cold days to keep them warm.

I cuddle with your wife on cold days to stay warm.

those are two of the easiest features to support.

what distro is giving you trouble?

what’s old is new again! they tried to pull this shit back in the day but physical media was the only delivery method. now that everything is downloaded there’s a bunch of legal grey area they’re hiding in.

so the next question, is this retroactive? if so, then when will I get my money back? Licensed software is cheaper than the full MSRP I paid for titles that had physical options I could have bought at a store. this is because licensed software usually has an expiration date while physical media with software can be installed anytime after purchase.

so, Valve, one last question.

as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.

if it weren’t for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.

could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.

back in the day I had an ATI system that shared system ram through the iGPU to the GPU(both ATI). turned my 2gb GPU into 4gb and saved me from building a new system for like a decade.

not sure if they do it anymore, but it’d be nice.

a demo in this day? dev knows what’s up

I’ll be the only barbarian relentlessly bludgeoning my prey with my bow.

old folks don’t have time for no bullshit. lay it straight because they’ve seen it all before and anything else is an insult.

you dislike me because I’m vague, inconsistent, and can never finish what I started.

I hate me because of

What did you say, Loyalist? You dare question my resolve? I am a soldier of the Continental Army, trained in the art of guerrilla warfare, honed by the fires of battle. I have crossed the Delaware, faced redcoats on the field, and I possess a skill set beyond your comprehension.

You think your king and army can intimidate me? Think again. I have the will of liberty coursing through my veins, and a mind sharper than any bayonet. I have fired my musket with unmatched accuracy, and I’ve outmaneuvered your kind at every turn.

You are nothing to me but a loyalist lackey, and I will rain down a hail of rebellion upon you. You’re not prepared for the force that is the spirit of independence! I will take to the battlefield and make you regret ever crossing paths with an American patriot.

I’ll unleash a storm of cannon fire that will echo through the ages. You can’t even begin to fathom the lengths to which I would go to defend my freedom, and when I’m through, you’ll be begging to be part of my cause.

So, while you sit there in your fine London attire, clutching your tea, remember this: I fight not just for myself, but for my countrymen and the very ideals of liberty. You’ve mistaken my humility for weakness, but I assure you, the wrath of a free man is something you cannot comprehend.

Try me, you loyalist fool.

as a kid I would shove them up my nose not to be seen again until out they would pop from the other side…miraculously charged.

I can’t help you. read some books maybe?

I would recommend some, but we both know you can’t read.
