Legitimately disputed? Never. But conspiracy theorists laugh and shit at facts

Oh my god, this made me laugh!

the majority of the content on the platform is photo slideshows coupled with text, which is why people often view it more as a competitor to Instagram than TikTok.

Which is super ironic given that instagram changed everything to push short video content and compete with tiktok

Even “1989” is banned. So everyone born in 1989 will have to lie and say they were born either 1988 or 1990

It certainly helps when the person clicking through is your flunkie

It shows Lands of Lore 1 near the end of the video. I only skipped through, can’t sit and watch/listen properly, what with being at work :)

Implying their train of thought can go beyond “MOAR MONEH”

Also, they’d love to be slave owners, but since slavery was banned in most of the world, they have to skirt around with silly laws and whatnot, so wage-slavery works. Hell, it might even work better than actual slavery, since you can own all the stuff the wage-slave can buy and pay for!

From my experience, it’s best to just buy a used dumb screen. Check if it’s working properly and doesn’t have any screen problems and you’re golden.

Meanwhile, the marketing department reading this: “Boss! It’s working! The people are actually enjoying it!!”

Because it’s “convenient” and people are lazy.

gog allows people that don’t own the game to review it, I think it makes sense for some of the older titles, where people who had the game decades ago can chime in, and others where people might have the game on steam but not gog.

It’s good that it keeps separate ratings, but would be nicer if verified owners had more emphasis, instead of simply listing the most recent review at the top.

Their commitment to backwards compatibility, to the point of keeping a known bug that allows primary keys to be null, is both amazing and “wtf”.

ass-keh-leet

Where said murder happens is a very important detail. Murdered on a roadway without any cameras for kilometers on end? Yeah, better believe nobody will find out the culprit. Murdered while visiting a different country? The chances might increase, but not much.

Who kills you also matters. Was it a cop or some rich asshole? It’s likely he’ll be found out quick, but will be acquitted for some shit reason or legal loophole.

If burnout was a natural byproduct of working too much (or too hard, or for too many hours), we’d see every founder/C-level suffering from it.

Oh, a comedy piece! Well deserved sarcasm aside, that bit only tends to be true to small and maybe medium companies, where the top isn’t an impenetrable ivory tower.

the real energy drain is when they ask themselves: Why am I doing this?

Because they have to eat and pay their bills, that is literally the only thing keeping people doing the soul crushing shit thrown at them.

I’m not the best person to answer, as although I have programmed in Pascal a decade ago, I also never really fiddled with anything outside school. I do have a interest in the language, given it tends to be as fast as C, has object orientation and other goodies, and seems to be able to compile to just about any architecture with minimal fucking around or code wrangling.

Anyway, according to the Freepascal wiki, “The compiled file is called .bpl in Delphi. This is effectively a (special) DLL. In other words its linking is finalized. The needed metadata (.ppu, inline function and weak packaged units (see next point) go into a .dcp file.”

According to Embarcadero Delphi’s help page, the .bpl is a binary file built from source, so it’s probably not a simple matter of just telling Lazarus or Delphi to open it.

Maybe, and this is me being hopeful, using something like this, IDR, will make things simple and straightforward.

Awesome work on archiving it! I guess it not having an english version, even if there isn’t much text, makes it significantly harder for non german speakers like myself to have heard of it.

I see that the game was made using Delphi/Pascal, as there’s a number of .bpl files, so maybe it’s possible to attempt a translation using Lazarus. This also probably explains why I could run it straight away on Windows 10, no need to turn on compatibility mode.

On GBC, Shantae is a lovely game.

(and the incredibly obscure Blue Empire II - I doubt there’s anyone here who has even heard of it).

Google only shows Age of Empires 2, trying "blue empire" game gives unrelated results. Couldn’t find anything on Mobygames either. Was that a mod?

I would have liked more emphasis on replayability than skin textures and raytracing.

Reminds me of the whole kerfuffle of western devs bashing elden ring, a significant portion of which could be summed up as “why would you put something in the game without a big map marker showing them where it is???”

I’ve been slightly out of the loop on this, are incels really whining about Witcher 4 using Ciri as a protagonist because she’s a woman?
