Slashdot Mirror

Keep in mind, those artists worked with old TVs and coaxial cable in mind. Their intention was not the sharp pixels we see in emulators, but this.

That makes sense. Looking at the video above I didn't remember things looking that bad, but I've seen so many "lo-fi indie" games that I've probably forgotten what things really looked like. Has anyone come up with a mod that also emulates the display characteristics of 80s-era TVs?

Here's one user who did as suggested and consulted with an attorney friend, the attorney friend refuted the "following the GPL is consideration" argument nicely:
https://archives.gentoo.org/ge...

Thank you for the response, though I feel you don't address my
question. Happily though, I spoke with an acquaintance and it was
determined that the subservience to the license (i.e. agreeing to be
bound by the GPL2) could not be offered as consideration as its
restrictions were not the licensee's to offer at the time of
acceptance of the license. The licensee had no rights to offer as part
of the contract, as the contract had not yet given them any rights to
give up. The terms put forth by the GPL2 are only restrictions that
are part of the license.

Furthermore, as stated above, it should seem quite self referential -
I can't offer my acceptance of a license as consideration, because it
is what I am trying to accept.

As I am sure you are aware, under US law there is no contract if both
sides have not provided consideration. This leaves us in the strange
place of gratis licenses being suggestions.

Cheers,
R0b0t1

Come on, you know who the real "brogrammers" are. You've seen the jock- or hipster-looking types driving around in Teslas or Audis. The kind who will shoehorn that they work for ${BIG_TECH_COMPANY} into every conversation. You know exactly who I'm talking about, the guys who don't give a shit about tech or engineering, but they sure do love money, and love showing off that money with status-symbol cars and contemporary-style homes. And they can get it all because they're smart and talented enough to get that coveted CS degree. Too bad you don't have what it takes to work at Google, pleb!

From this thread, https://warosu.org/g/thread/56..., it seems emotions and personalities were more at play than anything else. Gees, geeks and nerds, can not you keep you gaming to, well, actual computer games and cut back on the social and emotional gaming. Yes, a lot of you carry over emotional and social scars from having to deal with jock strap douche bags and narcissist cheer leaders who were extremely jealous and vindictive against people who can actually think, don't repeat their behaviour against your own, chill the fuck out. You win together not against each other or alone.

When it comes to gender choices or mutual masturbation activities, keep it to yourself, people are getting really, really sick of hearing about it and fuck the US Democrats for pumping up that issue as a political distraction so people will stupidly ignore economic policy. Keep pushing this nonsense and you will get some real angry majority kick back.

There's a book out already.

Best post in this story!
