Tobold

At first I thought he was the Sikh who does the Vulcan greeting, but then I noticed the one white guy and thought "No, that's him!".

I love these kind of projects. I'd love it even more if it was open source.

Preservation of the software is the most important thing and I'm glad the game pirates are very fastidious about it, but preservation of hardware like this is - if not as important - at least as fascinating!

And still, I won't buy one. I doubt I'll ever earn enough money to make retro game collecting feasible, so I'll stick with collection retro game controllers and connecting them to PCs for faithful emulation ;)

Seriously. I bought The Legend of Zelda (the original one) 10 years ago for <10 Euros. Now it's over 100! And that's a super common game (I assume)!

I saw it in theater when it came out (twice), and then later again a few years back.

Except in the latter case they clearly played it from DVD, interlaced even! At first I was like "I can't watch this!" but after 3 minutes I was so captivated I didn't even notice anymore!

From the article you linked:

> the first compiler for it was implemented in 1975

Honestly, looking at the screenshots I don't even know what's going on.

It's great to see the pasta-making in action, but damn, that guy is annoying.

Holy shit, that looks amazing.

Almost make me want to exchange my O2 for a clear CMOY :D

Thing is, I'm poor, and it was roughly 3x the cost of the discounted ticket I usually use.

At minimum wage I would have paid about a day's salary, and thus I "boycotted" it.

Apparently there is ONE theater in the world (in California of course!) that shows it and it's REALLY GOOD.

EDIT: The one floating around the internet seems to be a fan cut. I'm curious how it holds up to the actual thing.

That's what I heard.

Also the the Roadshow cut of Hateful Eight. That was shown in more places. I could have seen it, but they asked for an arm and a leg, and I need those!

I'm assuming they reencoded it to something more efficient than mjpeg2000 (no idea what the "standard" pirate codec for 4k is).

EDIT: According to another comment it's H264.

And they all do what you, The Nerd, say. Prisoners are known to be well-behaved and respect Nerds! /s

I am so bad at this. Also, apparently I don't know the first thing about tennis.

That's cool. Are they integrated well?

Yes, this my major complaint, too.

I have 3 Android devices and can use this only on the one that has a SIM card? And even if the others had SIM cards, they'd be on different accounts? WTF.

Thanks for the link. More information about testing with Löve (heh, "with Love") would be wonderful, I'm only used to Enterprise Java, I'm afraid.

Me too, simply because it's the only one I can find that has a trackpoint.

Very interesting! I remember trying your game a few months back, but I didn't have the time to really get into it.

I was thinking about making a game in Löve for a while now, but I have never done any automated testing with it.

Is there a good tutorial for that? Or do you feel like writing one? ;)

I'm going to assume the sound is fine on the Soundblaster, but How is the battery on that thing?

Does it last the full day and them some, like my phone does?

I enjoyed that movie, the ending made me laugh so hard!

Note that that doesn't mean it's GOOD.

Is there a good howto for these "CSS frameworks"?

I never used one and everyday there is another one on HN, confusing me with all its features xD

Uh... that kind of "politics". I can't speak to that, I stay out of office drama, so I don't know who's instigating xD

If understood this right (I didn't take a close look at the 3MB Javascript), this is SSG running in the browser, from the static site. So you don't have to run anything (except a browser) on your local machine (not even git).

The funny thing is, all of my friends with autism are fiercely political. If you asked me, I'd probably say people with autism were MORE political than those without. Of course, none of my friends with autism work in software.

I love the Jetbrains editor, I just wish I could open random files in it, without it trying to organize them into "projects" or whatever.

Never heard of it, sorry.

Tobold was a very minor character in The Lord of the Rings (better known as Old Toby), so it's not an entirely original nickname ;)

Yeah, when I read the title I expected a nostalgia piece about the late 90s and early 2000s.

Basically after the Amiga died and before the Xbox360 came out (I would say off the top of my hat).

So in exchange for not distributing malware they want my email address.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, when I saw the screenshots I immediately thought that it looked like the HQx filter.
