Copying Nintendo games isn’t only ethical; it’s a moral obligation.

Really? There aren’t updates with new features that you look forward to? Ever?
Garuda. It’s an Arch derivative that creates a snapshot of your system every time you update. That way, if the update breaks something, you can just roll your system back to the last working snapshot.
A surgeon can have a little fun as a treat.
But…but…there might be spoilers!!
I think it’s so silly how every article about this talks about the danger of spoilers because the game leaked early. There are going to be spoilers galore once the game officially releases in a few days. What difference does it make?
I’m not willing to carry around 300 cartridges
Where would you be carrying them?
If you don’t like it,
don’t usefork Ventoy.
“The legendary Flappy Bird is back and will fly higher than ever on Solana as it soars into Web 3.0 … Flappy Bird will now be the world’s first open-source, community owned web2 and web3 game … Build, create, play and stake to own,” the landing text reads.
It’s…Flappy…Bird. WTF are they on about?! The game is already one step below Pac-Man. This is like trying to monetize Pong.
As long as it’s a mod and not a full game, it should be fine. Typically these are distributed as patch files that don’t contain any Nintendo assets and you have to provide your own ROM and patch it yourself.
Where people get in trouble is when they try to make a full game (as opposed to a mod), like that Metroid game that was shut down awhile back.
I read a biography of Stallman several years ago. The whole free software movement was an attempt to preserve the early hacker culture where everybody freely swapped code. So, Stallman didn’t really “invent” FOSS; he just codified that early hacker ethos.
What was minix then? A non FOSS version?
It wasn’t FOSS, but then neither was Linux originally.
GNOME + Debian
Into the trash it goes.
I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.
Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don’t give them any money.
It’s a website where you can buy music. I prefer having music in OGG or Opus format, and most of the time you can only get MP3. Bandcamp gives you the option to download your music in several formats, and one of them is OGG.
That’s starting to change, because I can find more file-sharers who are using FLAC as storage becomes cheaper. Then I can convert FLAC to Opus. However, Bandcamp also gives you the option to stream music from their app, and it’s nice to have access to so much music on my phone.
Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.
There’s always one in the comment section. And today, it’s you!
Thanks for doing your part.
This is why I always do research on the game before playing it. Optimally, I’ll download and read the rulebook, but “let’s play” videos work in a pinch. (Or if the rulebook is a bit obtuse.)
Of course, if you don’t know what you’re playing beforehand, then it’s up to the host(s) to teach you, and it all depends upon how good they are at teaching (and how good you are at paying attention). These situations are obviously much more dodgy, so I try to at least peruse the rulebook a bit and keep it nearby during the game so that I can look up rules during other players’ turns.
Finally, it does get easier. It does take time and energy to learn these more complex games, but the payoff is more interesting and satisfying game experiences. Every time you play, you learn a little more. Of course, if you aren’t getting any enjoyment out of it at all, you might want to stick with lighter games.
I don’t even understand how this would be illegal. How is copyright being violated here? You aren’t supposed to be able to file a frivolous DMCA.
