So you're saying we just need to create the formula that represents the flow of path by steps of a shitpost?

Thankyou very much for the links and info above about Near everyone.
It does seem to be true from those links but I pray it is a mistake as I am finding it hard to accept this

I'm afraid the room for "mistake" has grown incredibly slim over the past two days. It is heartbreaking, but real.

What the hell is wrong with webdevs nowadays!?!??!?!?!
Same thing wrong with everyone else in the technology field: being compatible with older software and hardware is seen as a bug.

Websites don't degrade gracefully, they proactively block access. Operating systems aren't tested on hard disks, and put a two-year-old CPU as their minimum requirements. I hear the next ARM design is supposed to strip all support for 32-bit code. And so on.

Your extra $20 over the base model gets:
- A slightly bigger OLED display (7")
- An Ethernet jack on the dock
- Twice the internal storage (64GB!)
- The very same old dated Tegra chip, and the same amount of RAM

64GB of storage instead of 32GB
New dock includes a Ethernet port (USB <-> Ethernet adapter built-in).
New dock has 1 less USB port

7" OLED screen instead of 6.2" LCD screen
Ambiguously "better" speakers
Wide Kick-stand
Same performance and resolution capability as the Nintendo Switch.

The first 3 things are relevant to those that use the device docked, the rest is irrelevant to said users.

And two of the first three things are irrelevant to people that don't use the device docked.
(Also, from what I've heard the new dock works with the old tablet, so... buy a dock for your integrated ethernet adapter and save a couple hundred bucks, I guess?)

I mean, 32-bit PCs and Windows XP eventually have to go away, but why overcomplicating the already complicated web standards? Is it a sort of extreme sport that makes those webshits feel eternally young? A very convoluted way for ensuring job security for life? Boredom? Revenge against the world?
Personal hypothesis: The people driving stuff now are people who were into computer when they were younger. They tend to have had wealthier histories, and have probably been upgrading computers every couple of years to stay modern since they were children. This is just "how things work" in their eyes. The idea that you would continue to USE a computer that is nearing a decade old, that it could still BE USEFUL, is foreign to them.

The old guard, though? 1994's MS-DOS 6.22 listed an 8088 with 512 KB of RAM as the minimum system requirements.

It's also written in ASM, which is a relatively slow and therefore costly process.

True. And modern compilers actually generate more performant assembly than human hands anyways.

The point was that it was designed to support older hardware, in an era where hardware was changing much faster.
People can still do this when they want to, but there's increasingly less incentive for them to do so.

How dare you not mention SCI.
Or GPL!

No, not that one. The other one.

Of course Seamonkey is not Chrome or "latest Firefux"


... Wait, what is this, 2004 all over again? I thought The Powers That Be(tm) made a treaty that banned "browser only compatible with xxx" in 2005 specifically due to what happened in 2004?

Everyone forgot their history.

The difference between IE and Chrome is that IE was actually horrible and nobody liked coding for it, but Chrome appeals to the new generations of hipster webshit, so developers embrace it with tons of love.
IE BECAME horrible with lack of updates. IE6 wasn't bad when it came out. It was bad when it was five years later and MS hadn't really done anything with it.

It would be much better if I had a builds of 'bsnes 0.70' for 'Win 9x' and 'BeOS 5'.
As previously stated, that would actually be pretty awful. Any hardware that could reasonably be expected to run either of those operating systems is far too slow to run bsnes. The state of the art in the year 2000 has not changed in the last two months of AD 2021.

As no code targetting either platform was ever written, it would require a ground-up porting effort to make this very-bad-idea port a reality.


Use SNES9x and be happy. Don't ask us to make you suffer.

I mean, I guess "native interface nowhere" is arguably better than "native interface provided your system is exactly the same one we use"...

So I'm onboard my own personal hype train and playing Blaster Master Zero Three. And yes, that's a terrible title. I know.
I think at this point it is easy enough to answer the question "Do I want to play more Blaster Master Zero?". So I'm not going to try to talk you into BM03. Instead I'm just gonna celebrate.




I think I've mentioned before my delight with how Inti Creates made Blaster Master Zero a remake of BM but a sequel to the japanese MetaFight. Because that is absolutely something they did, and a clever way to handle both games having VERY different plots.
So you can imagine how giddy I was when at the end of the the first area Blaster Master's Jason meets MetaFight's Kane.

...

And then this happened...


A. I love everything about this encounter. The background's styled after the hanger the Metal Attacker launched from in MetaFight. The first clump of text is lifted straight from the original game's pause/weapon select/tank schematic screen. The second clump of text is... well, the jumptank's name IS the Metal Attacker.

B. Kane is a cheating bastard. First boss fight in the game, I have no powerups, and I'm dukin' it out with a fully-upgraded jumptank. I'm sittin' here bunnyhoppin' and hammerin' my pea-shooter while this bastard drives up walls and across ceilings spamming homing missiles. When he isn't just flying above me raining lightning down on my head.

C. And in post-fight discussion(Spoilers: Kane's a good guy, I ain't killin' him here), he decides to up the fanwankery ante. He asks if I know what boss name his jumptank's AI generated for ME
This has two significant implications. 1. It makes the boss name warning screens an actual in-universe thing.
And 2, well...

FUCK. YES. I have a boss name, and it's right there in the title!

Asking for bsnes compatible with Win98 is very much the modern day equivalent of people back in the day asking for ZSNES that could run full framerate with sound on a 486 CPU (or did people ask for even older than that?).
Usually they were just asking for it to be ported to their PowerMac. They didn't appreciate that x86 assembly only runs on x86 processors.

Correction: This self-entitled "My parents are richer than you" dickface twat has ensured his next flight will be in the cargo hold.

He's lucky I don't set the rules. I would've made it legal for them to hand him a parachute and throw him out the loading ramp.
