Quoting: MohandevirYeah... Talking about old hardware... Did I mentionned that I have played The Bard's Tale and Wizardry on an Apple IIE, with the green monochrome screen? :grin:

Anybody on a VIC-20? :smile:

Couple questions here :
1.Where do you people FIND that stuff ?!
2.How can you afford that stuff ?
:huh:

Excellent question! In my case I "exploited" my older brother who bought that computer for his programmation courses. He's 13 years older than me so... :smile:

What programming course is he taking that he needs an Apple 2 ? Really curios now.

Did you miss this was decades ago?

Which leads me to another question:
Might it be possible that Linux especially appeals to (us) old farts?

Quoting: DranaxumHave developed myself some games and tried to make them as cross-platformed as possible.

Thanks!

Quoting: DranaxumNot only the linux sales were less than 4% of the total sales , but the users were also the most toxic.
Death threats , insults , and trolling overall.
I would say that over 50% of the trolling were from linux users.

While the sales come as no surprise, I am surprised by the amount of hostility you got. I know we've got our share our toxic people, but taking aside people that are maybe a bit too loud about some stuff, I got the impression we at least don't have more toxic people than other OSs.

Are you still making games; does it work out for you?

Quoting: gabberNow let me get this straight: You shoot, burn and blow up others. But how dare you call them a nasty word, that's too much. That's "hate-speech" and "toxic".

The one is virtual - a bunch of pixels is killed.
The other is real - an actual person is insulted.

Quoting: gabberI would not want this in my pony online, sure. But I _DO_ want it in a game about shooting each other. Bring on the banter, that's part of the game.

Opinions like this made me stop playing online shooters (this and that I couldn't choose a friendly server anymore but had to use a random one).

Quoting: ThreeEightySixIf they censor these games, how am I supposed to learn about my new sexual orientation and who is currently having intercourse with my mother?

You could ask your mother - about both... :-D

Wonder what you want to tell us with this regarding the topic.

Quoting: F.Ultra68020 assembler is a league of beauty and non-complexiness above i386 so you should actually feel lucky ;). I have a few hundred floppys with 68000 assembler code in the basement, don't know if they still are readable though...

I tried to recover data from many 3.5" discs from the 80s and had a success rate well over 95% - quite the opposite to the DVD-RAMs I bought decades later because they were supposed to be especially good for archiving...

Quoting: EikeYou complained that "DRM doesn't trust you and treats you as a potential criminal apriory." - and that's what you're doing with random foreign people as well, and for a reason. There's bad people out there.

So, you cannot demand trust from companies (or other foreign people

I don't know where you're from, but here in France if a shopkeeper starts being suspicious towards his clients, they just leave the shop and never come back.

So, shop detectives, electronic door devices to scan for stolen stuff labels (CDs, clothes, ...) or other theft prevention isn't a thing in our neighbor country? I find that hard to believe (and would search on my own of you insist that would be true).

You are right to make that point, but the fact I didn't make a link between DRM and those devices is quite revealing. I think more of DRM like "let's go through our customer's stuff because something may be wrong" than a simple automatic check (stuff paid for/stuff not paid for). In that case, CD Key looks more like theft prevention than DRM. But that's just how I see it.

I was only talking about if there's a justification for DRM, not about how it is done. I don't know if there's a working non-intrusive way to do it... I don't want people to sift through my stuff, neither in shops not on my PC for sure.

What will happen to games I installed during the festival afterwards? I hope they stay on my disc and can still be played?
