Technically assembly is a human-readable, paper-thin abstraction of the machine code. It really only implements one additional feature over raw machine code and that’s labels, which prevents you from having to rewrite jump and goto instructions EVERY TIME you refactor upstream code to have a different number of instructions.

So not strictly the bunch of bits. But very close to it.

If you’re writing sloppy C code your assembly code probably won’t work either

Your game will actually likely be more efficient if written in C. The gcc compiler has become ridiculously optimized and probably knows more tricks than you do.

According to Ryujinx developer and discord moderator Riperiperi, “[On September 30] gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure”

Seems like this was a deal done behind closed doors between the project owner and Nintendo. It’s completely reasonable to expect someone else to pick up the project under a different name, using source code available from earlier forks.

Unfortunately, this will further splinter the Switch emulation development community, and cause any work that was not yet release-ready (such as features detailed by Riperiperi later in the same announcement as the one quoted above) to likely never see the light of day.

It’s an annual streak bonus

Cool. Give the writers freedom with their craft and I’ll give it a chance.

If this is Java edition, press f2 to take a screenshot

Stick-on slide shutter for the camera will do the trick

Ah good point. I guess a future-proofed guarantee that the domain will never be used externally would be easier to use than trying to somehow configure my DNS to never update specific addresses.

Well as long as the TLD isn’t used by anyone it should work internally regardless of what ICANN says, especially if I add it to etc/hosts

Why do I care what ICANN says I can do on my own network? It’s my network, I do what I want.

Sounds like a great tool to have available for school districts looking at using Linux for student laptops.

I’ll just buy the game again on a different steam account when I like the content added in yet another major update.

Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is a shining star of how honesty and genuine care for the community can make you MUCH more successful than just trying to milk your content for every penny it’s worth.

Cultivate a following and it will grow. Exploit it and it will shrink. Crazy how nearly everyone in the industry has forgotten this

They know that if a customer is noticing those signs that they’re savvy enough to pick a different solution if they don’t offer good support

Roguelike just means Arcade-like nowadays. The mechanic of using currency or experience to boost the next run is only sometimes present

I’m in my 20s, is that considered youth?

2 accounts for the price of one? Nice

Got windows 10 edition for free since I had java edition when it launched. Then I got the cape for owning both versions when the accounts merged. I’ll take the win
