  • Tom is the exact model of how I want to see people get rich. He got his bag and then disappeared off the face of the planet. He’s not in politics trying to enact a cyberpunk state. He’s not in the news every day telling you that if you give your kids a measles shot you’re performing the work of the devil. He’s off on a beach somewhere taking photos because he loves it, not bothering a soul. Tom is an alright dude and I have no problems with him.











  • If you ever actually use one, though? Fired.

    This is the same bullshit as the pool table in the break room, they’ll talk it up to get you hired but once you’re on the payroll if you’re ever seen interacting with it you’ll be reprimanded and told to get back to work.

    At least with the pool table version you could still arguably be interacting with coworkers, talking through a problem or something. But sleeping during office hours? Yeah, no way in hell, that’s lost productivity.

    After office hours people will just sleep under their desk like they’ve been doing for decades in Japan.


  • As far as I can tell this exists upon the same legal framework as OpenMW does, which is that it’s a fully custom built engine from the ground up that just so happens to be able to take input from a game file. Nothing about the software actually contains any code that Nintendo ever wrote and in fact isn’t even trying to home bake the game from scratch, it’s JUST an engine. You feed it your ROM file and all Zelda-related content comes from that file.

    The Pokemon romhacks that I know of that get taken down are different because they contain the actual code of Pokemon, just modified and redistributed. Smart people distribute romhacks as IPS files that you have to patch manually, the Super Mario World romhacking community has been doing this for literal decades. That functions on the same principle that none of the code being distributed was ever written by Nintendo, the file just interacts with one written by Nintendo.

    At least, that’s how I understand the situation.
