I’d like to test my PC

Can it run Crysis?

I suspect there’s a ripped version of Daggerfall that removes some or all of the FMV and that would give a significant reduction of space (much like AoE2 at only 170mb). The GOG installer comes at 176mb, so I’ve probably alloted too little space for it either way. Good thing there’s enough wiggle room in further reducing the size of either Worms or Doom mods

Also, the fun thing about going with FreePascal is that I could, in theory, make new GBA games to run on the emulator!

Next step: Nintendo sues all sites that dare write its name

Telegram is full of these groups. Usually, the trolling is simply one-upping their ass-backwards logic, like telling white supremacists to “not even breathe the same air that a non white has breathed! hold it, pass out, but refuse to take any of it in!” - if it’s a video of someone stating that and saying there’s scientific evidence, people will believe it even more and no, you won’t even need to create fake links for said “evidence”.

Let’s see, a portable or ripped version of games:

• Age of Empires 2 (there’s an old one that was around 170mb with the expansion),
• Daggerfall (~150mb),
• Worms Armageddon (~300mb, can be reduced by removing some speech sets),
• Doom + some mods and modding tools (let’s allot 200mb for that)

That’s ~820mb thus far. Let’s grab Snes9x (~1mb), Secret of Mana 2 (~3mb), Super Bomberman 3 (~800kb), Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World (~1.3mb). Also get a GBA emulator, Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town, Pokemon Fire red + some romhacks. Let’s assume all this emulation came to a grand total of 50MB. 870MB used, some 130 left.

For that final stretch, books on programming, the full offline documentation and a respective compiler for said language. Going with TinyCC would leave plenty of room for the books, but i’d also have to write most graphic related stuff from scratch… FreePascal has amazing documentation, but the compiler is 50mb or more. Nim is small and fast, but documentation is all over the place and anything graphical needs an external library. Guess I’ll have to contend with some form of javascript. I’d still bring at least one great book on C coding + TinyCC just in case

Call the 3D printers, we need a bigger benchy!

Yours is one of the most well deserved downvotes. Dude got paralyzed, literally cannot walk or stand anymore, received the exoskeleton (which was paid for in full by a fundraiser back in 2015) and the company simply decided “nah, we don’t touch anything older than 5 years”, knowing full well that this is NOT a disposable device and that Michael would need it for the rest of his life.

Keep in mind Lifewalk, the company behind the exoskeleton, didn’t even try to come up with a public bullshit reason to deny maintenance to a device that they knew full well would be used for the rest of the person’s life, or upsell a newer model.

A toot

Really? Then I must’ve been taught wrong and never noticed

One shit update is all it takes, just ask CrowdStrike and Microsoft

One “exit” per press

More of a shortcut, CTRL + A + D to exit the current session (exits a sudo su first, then a ssh, then the actual terminal)

You might be interested in reading the Unix Haters Handbook. I mean, that the command to install a backport so easily allowed you to remove core packages without a… Better warning, is an old complaint

I know for sure that palworld does not promote good sleeping habits in any shape or form, at least not to my addicted ass

The game during loading screen isn’t a “game mechanic” per se, which is why I think it was patented back then. Completely ass backwards that it could be patented, but there’s that.

As for the overhead arrow for navigation, I wasn’t aware of that one. Was that from EA? I think it can be argued that’s not a “game mechanic” either, because it’s not “an essential component of the game”

It’s pretty much the same thing, but with a longer grind towards the final levels. Legendary bosses (jetragon, frostallion, centaur knights) were bumped to lvl 55, there’s a couple of “alien” pals from semi random, timed events (meteorites), and a “final” dungeon as an offshore oil rig, which is filled with max level syndicate goons that can kill you really fast, but there are many places you can stay where their AI will effectively break. The game crashing while you’re there is a much, much worse enemy

Of course they do! It’s those weird white boxes that nerdy nerds nerd about with numbers and shit

While Microsoft is not a target right now, if that patent for ground-flying mounts is used (which I doubt it will, given it’s too recent and widely used by older games), Palworld can just point at World of Warcraft Burning Crusade as prior art and it suddenly becomes MS vs Nintendo.

“Multiple patents”

Specifies none

Off to a great start, I see. I know that actual game mechanics cannot be patented or copyrighted (the same principle applies to non digital games), so I’m really curious to what these patents are.

And then you have Capcom, who put fucking denuvo years AFTER a game’s release
