Please do! This would be amazing
necrosyne··on Helion: A modern fast paced Doom FPS engine in C#
Allegedly, Nintendo chose to buy them off with millions of dollars to suspend development instead of pursuing legal action.
necrosyne··on The FORTH code for Chipwits is released in the game's 40th anniversary
Oh wow. ChipWits was one of the first games I ever played on my first computer, the Apple Macintosh way back in 1984 when I was 6. Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for making one of my favorite games. I've just downloaded the new demo and added the game to my Steam wishlist.
necrosyne··on RyujinX – Open Source Nintendo Switch Emulator
Eh, I'm less skeptical. Denuvo has a proven track history of being exceptionally difficult to crack (and last I'd heard, only one hacker even possesses the skill to do so.) If they're as competent with locking down Switch titles (or, as is rumored, future Unreal Engine games) the gaming community at large is in for some chop.
necrosyne··on RyujinX – Open Source Nintendo Switch Emulator
I have physical copies of the games I play in Ryujinx, and don’t dump the ROMs myself. I suspect I’m in the minority however.
necrosyne··on RyujinX – Open Source Nintendo Switch Emulator
I love Yuzu and Ryujinx both. It’s crazy that they can provide a superior experience to the native console. I suspect the party’s about to be over thanks in no small part to Denuvo.
necrosyne··on Lonely individuals process the world in idiosyncratic ways
This is fascinating to me - my own situation is similar, but I do not consider myself lonely. I also have the pleasure of working remotely and don't have friends or family close by. I don't miss the awkward chaos of interpersonal social interaction in the flesh, nor do I engage in the use of social media.

I'm also employed as a software dev and assume that I must be filling my social well with banal Zoom meetings. I, too, have no specific ambitions or long-term goals beyond living as comfortably and well as possible until my meaningless little stretch of life reaches its inevitable conclusion.

necrosyne··on Tell HN: Cloudflare Is Blocking Piped
I’ve been running into this exact problem in recent weeks. Switching to piped.video is the workaround I’m using atm.
necrosyne··on Slack Price Increase beginning Sep 2022
Yeah, my friends and I have used a low-traffic Slack channel for about four years. The era of the “free lunch” is over. Time to move on.
necrosyne··on Implementing cellular rejuvenation therapy reverses signs of aging in mice
I hope I'm wrong, but assuming these treatments do prove effective in humans, it won't be made available to the likes of us. The elite will get to enjoy unnaturally long lives (or perhaps escape death completely) while the rest of humanity is literally rendered disposable.
necrosyne··on San Francisco's Mayor Is Urging Employers to Return Workers to Downtown Offices
The traditional office is dead. Better to turn these spaces into something useful like apartments.
necrosyne··on People deciding to ditch their smartphones
It's heartening to hear that I'm not the only one. Browsing the web on a smartphone makes for a terrific distraction while standing in line at the coffee shop; My notifications are largely disabled and I've never used social media.

I can honestly say I've never suffered from envy/depression/addiction from the use of my device and I firmly believe this is why.

> In other words, act like a person who is trying to make friends with another person.

Nah, I'm good.
