But then aren’t people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?

Text files used to be a thing.

Thanks for explaining. I wasn’t sure if it meant stop the killing of games or stop playing games that involve killing, and at that point I was afraid to ask.

Depends on who you talk to. I always thought the atmo was pretty chill. When I was there around 2010 as a contractor for a couple years they had a strange work schedule: 9-hr days Mon-Thurs and half day Friday - which was almost universally regarded as a screw-around day, along with at least half of Thursday.

Shoutout to Chris Perkins! I got to help playtest parts of 5E back in the day and he was the DM. Getting paid to play D&D is nice work if you can get it!

Yes. Yes it was.

Quick computation for Seattle, powering a typical laptop consuming 20W to run say an IoT server, 24/7 at 14 cents/kwh would cost about $25/year. A Pi 4 would be about 1/10th of that.

You can control nerf turrets as-is. My dev manager wrote a script to read the build mail and make his nerf turret shoot a volley of darts into the cubicle of whoever broke the build. And that was 15 years ago.

True dat! If you’re around Seattle check out RePC.

That would explain it.

That’s so weird, tons of people use Linux for dev. Do they say why you can’t?

First thing I noticed about this photo is that she’s holding her hair away from the ground while putting her mouth right on it. I’m not sure why but that seems funny to me.

I always loved ARC - Attack, Retrieve, Capture - originally from Hoopy Entertainment and then PopCap. You joined an ad hoc team and piloted a little flying saucer around a maze, shooting at the other team’s saucers. It was super simple to learn and wonderfully addictive. Probably not around anymore. I knew the two guys who created it.

More good news - if you ever use up the current toner cartridge, that printer takes generic ones that cost $20 or less. Assuming you even print enough to need one. Congrats on your great find!

Oh I see. So to play the game using this code do you need hardware to physically connect the cartridge so the PC can read the assets, or does it read a dump of the ROM?

Enough with the AI moralizing. As a software developer I spent my whole career looking at examples of other people’s work and incorporating their coding techniques into my own work without ever hunting any of them down and paying them. Possibly other people have done the same with my code. Bottom line, I don’t care, it’s always been common practice. And I don’t see anything wrong with a human being writing code to automate that process - that’s the whole idea of coding.

Oh I see. I only took a brief glance at the code on github but it looks like the full game is there - did the devs add the cartridge check to avoid IP trouble? Because if you know what you’re doing you could always disable that.

The assets folder in the github repository seems to contain the assets - unless you’re talking about different assets.

Now that the code is available, anybody who wants to can mod it and create new version of Mario Kart. Without paying whoever produced Mario Kart. But playing devil’s advocate, isn’t that what people are calling AI evil for doing? So why am I not seeing outrage?
