You’re right. I wasn’t sure if you were talking about new or old games. I’ll always encourage owning ROMs as opposed to paying monthly to access them for the few years they’ll be available on [current device]. And with such a tiny library, too.
Then there are other factors, like not being able to access certain versions (Nintendo offers only the Shindou version of SM64 because breaking an ancient single player game for fun is verboten).
Not even just out of spite. In a way its another form of “voting with one’s wallet”. It will affect their sales, and if their heads aren’t too far up their assess (like, sitting on their own shoulders), they’ll finally get a clue.
But I’m not holding my breath.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing!
You can find plenty of ISO files on archive.org. I’m not sure about the legality of it, so I’ll say I don’t condone doing it, etc. But some of them have been there for several years, so I think MS doesn’t care.
Just be careful about clinking links in the user comments. People have been known to post shady links and moderation seems to be lacking, from what I’ve seen.
Good luck getting your game to run! Oh, and long live archive.org!
I have a virtual machine with WinXP and one with 98, for when I’m feeling nostalgic :)
Sorry to hear you have to use Windows… I’m still stuck on 10 but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of Mint Xfce and I’ll complete the move soon enough!

Your use of “OOP” and “functional” threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn’t about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.
I was just talking to a friend, and I also used “jaded”. It’s the perfect word to describe my feelings. In any other timeline I’d allow myself slightly more hopefulness.
I don’t know nearly enough to determine if I should be excited, but I feel like we need to start walking up a lot of sleeping people. (It sounds like) it’s finally happening!
The “fun” part is that it has already discovered the poop knife. We just need to figure out how to coax it out.

It’s amazing the amount of freedom I enjoy simply by not being a conservative. When I get home from work I just have a good time playing videogames or whatever else makes me happy. I’m allowed to like whatever I like.
They really should try it. It’s liberating 😌
Neat! That reminds me of this thing I saw years ago. I wonder if the underlying phenomenon is the same.
Satanic panic is their whole life. I really pity them. They live in constant fear of not only their god who supposedly “loves” them, but another deity who also doesn’t exist.
I’ll definitely give the web UI a shot since I’m already quite familiar with A1111 and it seems they’re trying to recreate the same look and feel. Thank you for the info!
I’ve been wanting to run that one on my hardware but GPT4All just refuses to start its GUI. The only thing is a “chat.exe” that sits idle in the task manager. And this is an issue I’ve seen reported in their Github from several users, on both Win 10 and 11.
Have you find success with that frontend, or are you using one that actually works? I haven’t researched any others since this issue has me a little burnt out.
That’s some pretty blatant cherry picking, but I’m sure it’s to emphasize the humor of the source video.
Putting that aside, I’ve never been a fan of the Genesis sound chip. It’s way too harsh and buzzy for my poor ears. I respect the opinion of people who love it, but I feel for the parents who had to tolerate hearing that every day.
Of course I was no better about not being annoying, especially when I would literally run around in circles while the end-of-stage music for Yoshi’s Island played on a loop.
Fair! It’s the first time I remember seeing such a comment.
