Sounds like a pretty shitty place to work for then lol

My first job I was using Windows, thankfully I was able to use Linux my next 3 jobs in a row. It really helps justify Linux when our production servers are always running Linux.

Part of being an adult is never getting enough sleep and almost always being tired.

I think even if they do reverse course or it was a genuine mistake, it’s easy to lose people’s trust forever, ESPECIALLY when it comes to something sensitive like storing ALL of your passwords.

Nah there were definitely games that had disappointing graphics relative to what I was expecting lol

Although it’s true, we generally were more forgiving about graphics back then than we are these days.

For me, the biggest thing was the program not running from a single window. IIRC there was actually a separate fork of GIMP that made it run in a single window called GIMPshop or something, and that made it into a single window. I’m not sure when GIMP itself got single window functionality.

It’s a lot more usable these days.

True, that’s a good point. Well, two good points.

That’s what private trackers (and torrents in general) are for, but private trackers commonly share copyrighted materials, which is of course not so legal depending on where you live.

Yeah but if I replace them, it’s not like I get my saves back, right?

Yeah, Google Cache does seem like it has been gone for years. I can’t even recall the last time I was able to use it.

Which bcrypt does, since it generates a unique salt per-password.

I’d hope that passwords would be unencrypted, really they should be hashed ;)

Yeah, I could also use my DSLite to dump GBA saves at least. My GBC saves are unfortunately all long gone because the batteries dried up.

It is really cool being able to dump save games, so if these multi-dumpers can do so, that’s amazing.

Nintendo doesn’t even care about that so tbh fuck em.

Honestly, as cool as this is, I just keep collections of downloaded entire game libraries like PS1, PS2, PSP, 3DS, NDS, GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, etc.

I’m more interested in preserving my save games, which I can dump myself on my modded 3DS for 3DS and NDS games, plus my PSP I can just copy paste those save games from the memory card. Those are more what is really irreplacable. Everyone has my games, not everyone has my save games.

My current company treats effort the same as time. I can appreciate that they’re at least honest about that lol

My first and third job had daily standup, my second and fourth job don’t have daily standup. I’m on my fourth job. I love not having standup.

That’s what I’m wondering.

I haven’t heard any reports of or seen any abuse for emulators like Xenia, RPCS3, Dolphin, Citra, etc. I wonder if this is something unique/specific to people finding out it’s Stenzek, or if it’s more widespread than we realize?

Personally, I do think non-permissive licenses aren’t nice, and I do think there should be criticisms, skepticism, and concerns to be voiced about that. At the same time, if it’s the owners project, he is free to do with it as he wishes. Then again, if something has a large enough of a community, you could argue that it’s no longer just their project. But I understand that if you want to prevent people profiting off of your work (and your contributors work), a no-commercial license does make sense. It’s a complex situation.

Holy shit why is this so true LMAO

There are dozens of us!
