It's a pride/narcisissim thing. Having unique things (to their minds) makes you inherently better than those who do not have it. They genuinely just could not give less of a shit about anything else other than ego stroking themselves.

Technically, uploading the files for distribution would be illegal, yes. But if the company that owned the rights is defunct or doesn't care, there would be probably no consequences.

Archivists have a private (not available for public download) archive of game data backed up, which is perfectly legal, as long as you purchased or was given the game. I personally have a backup library of legitimately copied files of my cartridge games; useful for playing the games via emulation and keeping their physical condition good.

I did some programs for them and wow, they’re really into accessibility. It was a great project.

Reply to Apple, Google, and Samsung have released the most iterative updates to their top-tier phones this fall. But all three have also released new smartwatches that are more interesting than they’ve ever been, reinvigorating a category that’s been stagnant for more than half a decade. by speckz

Watch some dumbass collector is going to buy it

never going to dump it , make 2-3 videos on it and lose it to a house fire

i never understood the collector mindset when it comes to this shit since most people are going to remember you as the asshole who lost a game forever

Been hearing about smellovision for years. We were promised unparalleled technological advancement in the 90s and these expectations were unrealistic. All we got was the IoT, better phones, a lack of privacy and Social media.

Anyone else here to say that The Game Grumps kinda ruined this sorta post or news for them? Cause they certainly did for me, the first teaser for Soviet Jump Game really tricked me pretty hard and I'm still kinda salty about it.

Microsoft's research into accessibility is frankly something that should be celebrated more. The Adaptive Controller is a work of art.

Ah yes, storing ROMs of long dead games in a vault for the purpose of history is piracy, of course.

Fucking museums pirating all the art SMH.

The Internet Archive and its library of antiquated games is far from priacy. It is a wondow into an earlier time, and a vessel through which many of us who grew up in the heyday of PC gaming can satisfy our Nostalgia.

While also rediscovering how brutally difficult some of these games were and how our skills have deteriorated with age.

Fuck me I forgot how hard some of these games were. Did I actually complete them myself or am I just remembering watching my dad beat them?
