Pro Pinball Timeshock Ultra Edition, probably

An even worse one: Dungeons of Dredmor, where not only is the shopkeeper on the more powerful side (but beatable at higher levels); but if you manage to kill him or otherwise get away with stealing something, you’ll get hunted down by debt collectors. I’m not making this up.

I hate to be nitpicky; but that’s a decompilation, not a demake.

‘Demake’ usually refers to a game that gets remade for a system older (or less powerful) than the one it was released for. A good current example is the in-progress Super Mario 64 demake for GBA.

‘Decompilation’ is where one reverse-engineers a game (or any software!) back to its original source code, or close enough that when you build it, it’s identical to an original copy. So, the goal of the Lego Island demake is to produce source code that can be built into a fully binary-compatible copy of Lego Island, indistinct from what’s on the original CD.

Correct!

The remake with Ben Chang came out in 2015

McCoy’s Salt and Vinegar. Yum yum! They’re the sort of crisp that you can still taste at the end of the day.

My dad got into Kazaa in the mid-00s, then Limewire, before discovering Mininova and TPB. Just kinda saw what he was doing and thought it was interesting. (We were often told not to touch the computer as it’d “knock off his download”…)

I seem to recall one of the first things I pirated was… er, Pirates of the Caribbean, which I watched with my friends huddled round my laptop. Quality times.

My dad had a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, complete with a bunch of Totally Legit plugins which allowed him to watch anything he wanted. Thought it was legal and above board because… wait for it… it’s open-source

IT here: you’re right about Outlook being junk, but I disagree with your current year argument. What’s laughable about having your emails synced locally?

And the fact that the status notification now has an area of roughly 4 pixels.

Would an alias solve this?

Do you just go around looking for KDE users to argue with?

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Couple I’ve come across recently and haven’t seen here yet:

micro - a nano-style terminal text editor with modern features and plugins.

termscp - a terminal FTP (et al) client heavily inspired by WinSCP.

…So you do go around looking for KDE users to argue with. Sounds like fun.

Simutrans is quite interesting, although it’s probably closer to a Transport Tycoon than a SimCity. Otherwise I tend to go for SimCity 3000.

For general purpose, I’d say 8bitdo Ultimate C.

I am a huge fan of the GameCube pad and would use it for everything if I could.

For 2D games, particularly fighting games, I’m very fond of the Saturn pad.

However, if I had to pick a best controller ever, it’s got to be the SNES pad. No question.

a streaming server

Huh, that’s not a bad idea. Something that, say, Links to another machine running Steam…?

I agree with your statement. However, what I believe the original comment was saying is that if the developers who have lost their jobs were to get together and make a game as they describe, then they would buy it. The malice was directed at Microsoft and so on.

At least, that’s how I read it…

Fuck corporations

is precisely what everyone’s been saying this whole time. Nobody’s blaming the devs. Your rant is misplaced.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It works about as well, which is to say, it doesn’t really work at all

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Considering you have to play the original to complete DK64, they probably did.

(Not only that but you have to be really good at playing the original. With an N64 pad, too!)

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It was the original, but starting from a higher (possibly the highest?) difficulty level and, as you say, with only one life. But yes, it’s not quite the same experience as if you just rocked up to your average cabinet in 1981.

Either way, the two games are so wildly different that I don’t see much value in comparing them directly
