I'm a weird critter and play things differently from most, I think 😅 My greatest fun tends to be alting hard, trying nearly every imaginable build. Beat up the same jerkwad thirty times just to try out all' the toys, that kind of thing :3 I did get annoyed at having to wait for the map to open up but I replay beginnings so many times anyway... 🤷 I wanna go back to CP77 pretty badly, too 😅 Am stuck on a laptop that I can't imagine running it playably but even just driving around was fun for me. Helped me through a rough patch a night or two, actually.

Also liked how well-done the story bits felt, though maybe that's partly because I was told they're really good and just expected them to be 🤷 I do remember some bits fondly, though.

Wow, so many posts 😵‍💫 Sooo I think I'll be the one to mention Elder Scrolls Online ^.^ I've got 1800 hours in that and miss it pretty bad v.v Am stuck on a laptop that can't run it (nor much else) playably :-\ Anyway, it's got many things to do. Three faction storylines, lots of side stuff (everything can be played at any level; people will take low-level characters into Trials and not even worry about it), crafting, character build funs deeper and more interesting than they seem, just plain wandering around peekifying all' the Elder Scrolls places... Idunno, it just somehow kept me of all critters hooked for quite a while, which is very odd. I tend to get bored of things realquick 😅

I only have 800 hours in it but I suppose I can second (or, well, nth) Warframe? 😅

trying to destroy all type of emulation for Nintendo consoles

Only emulation used by others. They're happy to kang all' the ROMs and emulators off' a site before destroying it for everyone else, then not even sell most of the damn things. Absurd. There's nothing good about that, not even for Nintendo themselves.

raises trans, linux-using paw ^.^

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :3

Here's a funky quad-simultaneous-wordle thingle @.@ https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/

This article stinks of ignorance and bellendness. Complaining about "modern" or "new" terms is always a huge red flag to me, so now I have to wonder, for example, whether the The Bright Sword character referenced does in fact use she/her. Oh noes, the setting wouldn't have this one word! It does, of course, have the entirety of any English dictionary other than that word, though. Just the one is icky, like all of those pronouns the woke crowd keep _shoving down our throats! But the woke crowd don't exist in that world! The whole damn world is drastically different but this one conveniently common language is almost identical! Couldn't have been that they say "are with" instead of "have," noooo, it's one coincidentally "political" word that's gotta go. That's the one critical difference in "a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world" where they'd suddenly not say things the same way we would!

Does this person give a damn at all and have a crappy take, or just feel like spewing another "omfg woke newspeak agenda" wall of whinge onto... er, Forbes. Not the place I'd look first for sensible discussion of social matters. I guess a click is a click.

Very agree here. Less and less is actually GNU, so by what metric do we have to include things? "GNU is an OS?" I'm running two at once? No, it's three, some of this software comes from BSD. Or is it more? Maybe I've got tools developed on/from/for other OSes still! Hell, I've got Windows software on this system. Gotta tell everybody I'm running GNU and Linux and BSD and Windows and (...) 🤦

This naming "debate" is absurd.

Edit: I meant to say, it's really getting too late to push the naming issue as a means of making people recognize how much of "Linux" is GNU, considering the connections are decreasing. Even the kernel builds with clang these days, GNU tools and libs get replaced... I don't know that I'm happy about this, but it seems plausible (at a casual glance from a non-expert observer) that GNU's practically on its way out. On the other paw, I'll be glad to never hear about this naming "issue" again if everything GNU gets buried.

[Goofy reference to goofy thing https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html ] Something tells me that cal is the standard text-based calendar 😅

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

Sounds super cool :o ... Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft's!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠

... Also I kinda wanna know if it's got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I'm stuck on a laptop that can't really run much without getting all melty 😅

Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn't think anyone else would.

... Oh shit, that's still a thing :O Whew.

I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you're in violation of the licence. Whether that's enforceable... Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there's no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don't mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don't offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.
