... maybe? It's "anger powered jet packs" from an ancient meme image that I'm not sure the source of:

Oof, I always forget about that last one.

That comes from magazines and TV where there's money hiring cleaning crews you don't see or something.

I have some extended family making bank in oil trade, very wealthy, and it's such a trip listening to them talk about life.

Nannies for their kids that come to them. Grocery delivery. Delivery of almost everything, rarely go to the store themselves. House cleaners/maids that do everything. Landscapers. People to drive their kids to and from extracurriculars. Notice each of these is plural. The only thing I can think of that they don't have is a chef.

And they try to be down to earth, but their scale is skewed. Like they get thay most people have less time, but they expect the average person to still have like half the time they do, rather than like 1/10th at best.

They have so fucking much free time, and they use it to keep their marriage and family strong. Date nights every week. Multiple family game nights each week. Both of the parents have rich social lives of their own, hobbies they have time to pursue.

It's astounding just how much of a difference the amount of free time available to them (due to having people to take care of the constant neverending life stuff for them) makes to their quality of life. Most direct example I've ever seen of the difference wealth can make.

And their house always looks "HGTV ready".

Really buddy? You've had plenty of responses to your previous posts about your rich life. You are rich. Very rich. It's past time to accept that and move on with your shit.

If you actually feel any guilt or uncomfortableness about it, instead of posting stupid bait, go do something with your privilege to help those who don't have it.

You posted this in the wrong community. Shower thoughts is not for questions.

No, that's rich.

So to be clear, your answer is "No, I don't have anything beyond a weak as hell ad hominem based off of entirely imagined character traits and motivations."

What are you actually trying to say when you claim I have a lack of curiosity in the matter? Don't be chickenshit. If there's something you believe is false about what I said, be out with it.

Otherwise you're welcome to fuck off.

Nomura's done it again! I love Kingdom Hearts.

I'm so sorry that the lack of two ddg searches ruins my argument for you.

It's even more telling that your only counter to my comment was to attack minor problems.

Edit: I've edited my comment. Do you have anything of actual value to say now?

It's not hard to understand.

Dessalines and Nutomic, the two lead lemmy devs, think that Tianenmen Square didn't happen. They think the genocide currently going on in China of that particular group of muslims (Uighyur or something like that, I can't spell it right) is actually a social program for their own good. They think that Ukraine is legitimately filled with Nazis in their government and military and that Russia is rescuing the poor populace from their oppressors.

Effectively, China and Russia can do no wrong. Dessalines in particular regularly bans people from lemmy.ml who say otherwise.

The term "tankie" is in reference to the tanks China drove over people during the Tianenmen square massacre.

Edit for the sake of jackasses: Better explanation of the term "tankie" from another commenter here. And it's spelled Uyghur.

Happy now?

They took the completed game and worked backwards to the underlying code that makes all of it work. They confirm it's an exact match by using the code they worked backwards towards to make the game again and confirm they have an exact match to the orginal game file(s).

Once this is done, it is possible to change literally anything about the game, as you have access to the code that makes it work. One of the most popular things to do is to replace the parts of the code that are specific to the console it was originally made for with code that can run on PC. This results in an accurate PC version of the original game. After that, other coders usually dig into the PC "version" to add all sorts of easy modding support.

This has already been done with Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, and Star Fox 64, and they all have easily moddable PC versions now. This has resulted in things like Render96 and Ray Tracing support for SM64, a bunch of bug fixes and an insanely deep randomizer for OoT, and discovery of cut levels and entire game modes partially left in the game code that had only been mentioned in interviews in Star Fox 64.

It's also worth noting that similar projects exist for a whole bunch of other games. The Pokemon Emerald Reverse Engineering project has allowed all the absurd new romhacks with new features like Mariomon and Too Many Types 2, with Pokemon having 3 types and a total of like 70 types in game. Similar (but technically different under the hood) projects for Sonic Unleashed and the Jak series on PS2 have resulted in great moddable PC versions of those as well.

Lol yeah, all these overengineered solutions. How often do you really need to share something larger than 25MB between devices and also don't have USB handy?

Oh my god, this attitude that someone is not allowed to be happy about some things because other things are bad drives me up the fucking wall.

Of course you're going to be depressed and anxious and feel like the world is ending and there's nothing that can be done besides wait for full societal collapse if you set these rules that you can't enjoy the good until things are perfect.
