You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?

bluesky is bad and mastodon is the only way forward

Great jorrrrrrrb

This is so much better than a remake or remaster.

id Software led the way, decades ago, making Doom and then Quake engines open source. I wish more studios would donate their old software to the public domain.

Fingers crossed one day we will get Unreal source code. I wonder if it even still exists.

the lawsuit accuses Keighin of streaming leaked Switch games, including this month’s Mario & Luigi: Brothership, ahead of release using emulation software as many as 50 times in the last two years. Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each instance of alleged copyright infringement.

Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.

Yes sorry, I didn’t realize that until I posted it and saw all of the “cross-posted to:” links. It’s the first time it’s posted to this community though, and I think it’s an important topic.

If you distribute Linux crackers then you need to provide not just the list of ingredients but also the recipe used to make them.

Now that’s a take I wasn’t expecting to see.

The past tense of the verb “to lead” is “led.”

“Lead” is a heavy metal.

It’s one of the most anticipated translations because it’s a beautiful looking game that is just impenetrable if you don’t speak Japanese. The best we had before was a translation script that you could read along with a walkthrough guide, but that’s not the way most people like to play a game.

It’s not surprising that if you start a project for a game like this and then go no-contact for a decade, people will start to look to see if they can pick up where you left off. There’s this unwritten rule in the fan-translation community that you don’t start working on a game that someone else has already started working on, but what is the time limit on that?

It seems like everyone in this situation could have done a better job of communicating in the first place, and then could have been more gracious to eachother after the fact.

I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C

Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.

There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy

I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.

The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.

I played Forza Horizon 4 and the Drivatars are pretty convincing. They make exactly the kind of mistakes on the track that I make and they can be challenging but beatable in a way that’s much more fun than any other racing game I had played before.

Nothing in the licensing scheme changed, at all.

This statement is incorrect. The SDK had specific source files placed exclusively under the SDK license, and the remainder of the repository dual licensed between GPL 3 and the SDK license. So the licensing scheme did change.

I get why you’d suggest the previous commenter is out of touch with what users want, but what does that have to do with being a software engineer?
