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 One of the most popular things to do is to replace the parts of the code that are specific to the console it was originally made for with code that can run on PC.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.

If I'm editing more than one object in AD I almost always use Powershell. It was one of the main motivations for me to learn it in the first place.

It's so obvious it was a GUI made for what was once a back end tool that wasn't meant to be fussed with all the time, but then had more and more features slapped on top over time. And don't get me started on the integration between AD and On-Premises Exchange Server. I don't think I have much more than a 3 hour long exasperated scream in me about that bundle of fuck.

Does he really, or does he employ people who have this knowledge?

Even giving him the biggest possible benefit of the doubt, ignoring his politics, and ignoring just about everything else negative about him... so many of his projects miss their announced release dates with little to no technical discussion/disclosure on why.

On top of that, we only need to look at his short lived attempt to style himself as a particularly skilled gamer. If he was so clearly lying and cheating (by using an account built by someone else) on something that inconsequential, it should cast significant doubt on his other claimed skills and accomplishments (if none of his other shit caused that doubt for you yet).

I love how everyone is assuming that anon is saying that's why not to have an elven waifu. So wholesome.

Being a 4chan post, there's a pretty big chance that this is someone explaining why they get off to elven waifus.

And it's self-reported by the datacenters. I don't want to just say that their numbers aren't reliable, but they have a vested interest in downplaying their impact.

These are datacenters that get approval to use certain power plant styles with pollution capture technology installed that are then building more generators than approved and installing none of the pollution capture tech. So extra pollution and none of the mitigation.

It's worth noting that Penny's Big Breakaway is made by the majority of the people who made Sonic Mania. And the Sonic Android ports.

So it's very well polished.

A romance for the ages

I'm kind of shocked that you feel like you can confidently claim you know this guy's condition and the cause of him not receiving proper care when you had to be told to call 911 for someone fucking convulsing on the ground.

You really tried to sneak that past by front loading with that tangent, lol.

There's a decent handful of conditions beyond brain trauma that can lead to convulsions. Unmedicated epilepsy is a pretty obvious one. Supposedly withdrawals from certain illegal substances as well. Hope the guy is getting help now.

And ask any hospital worker, one of the most frustrating parts of care is that people can and do just walk the fuck out.

I'd look for old apks for it on places like apk mirror, then look into pulling the assets out of the apk file.

If you're lucky, the music is just sitting in the apk in some standard format like mp3, wav, or ogg.

Likewise, someone else mentioned there are PC versions. You could check for those on various abandonware sites.
