"completely turned around" could be charitably interpreted as "swiftly and accurately corrected course". 360, not so much.

You could also call it a shopping plaza, either in a line or 2 (or possibly 3) sides along its parking lot.
Also bundled with those giant signs that list every store in the plaza.
Aside from cost there's also the issue of law, requiring people die of natural causes beforehand means most people will turn to soup before their brain can have any hope of being preserved.
I have cynicism for lots of things involved here, but if I had the option from some shady person who seems like they are capable and vaguely aligned with me I'd probably take the chance especially if we could make some sort of a post-revival agreement. What a brain (put into a small machine and ideally alongside symbiotic systems) can do for the people who are still alive. Probably with my brain in a jar living in VR until the details are worked out.
And if it doesn't work out that way, well... That's gooood soup!
I will just perish.
Certainly not unable, but lots of factors seem like they would add to difficulty particularly if emulators didn't exist (because cartridge-based storage, aging/costly hardware). Then there's the idea of having a target on your back (or any tools that make it more viable) due to extremely litigious/malicious entities and to me it just seems like a niche that isn't worth the extra time.
I'm grateful for PC games under 100MiB. Closer to 10MiB is worthy of praise and below that may be half amazing. There is .kkrieger at only 95KiB for a 3D game (and that is another mealtime topic), but I think that is more interesting visually than it is for gameplay.
Or to be clear, I see the "STILL" more for creating games for old proprietary hardware than for optimization itself.
So do you think there's any chance of me getting out of this coma, or is this a data extraction/matrix sort-of-thing where it's even worse (in some ways) outside?
@pbpza I vaguely align with this, but don't really have much capability or hope now. Even having difficulties furthering my (admittedly niche) interests here on the fediverse (federation problems, not many comments).
I am not quite sure what makes this a co-op and not some other community, conservancy, union, club/meetup etc. if it's remote?
Sidenote, not much in the way of actual projects but you'll see me in db0's project (closed PRs 1-3, 2 bits of character art w/animation). I am interested in polygonal art (both 2D and 3D) but have not found a good workflow for me. I would probably rather work solo (if I can do anything) and for programming I want to use nim-lang which limits my options. Might want to use Raylib, but 3D vertex colors was the last thing I tried and those didn't work for me (I could maybe do a simpler 2D polygon style, I have a format/loader started but it needs a lot more work with implementation to be viable). 2/3 of my threads showing my simple 3D art are visible on your instance.
I have life issues too, a change of living conditions would be nice but I don't know if I could pull my own weight plus I am just not really a sociable person. I can think of a lot of ways that might make me useful, but probably not substantial enough especially as I probably couldn't sustain any of it as a strict daily job.
Japan being the worst yeah, it seems like Kei cars are the perfect format for EVs plus the population density of Japan (+city life and high-speed rail).
Then again, I do see that the incentives for Kei cars were reduced in 2014 and I wouldn't doubt if oversized trucks/SUVs were gaining popularity there too (I did see 1 headline about it).
I'm pretty sure that's just about using the pedals, as in having an ebike with a throttle won't be an issue (even though throttles are extremely common, mine is 250w + EU speed limit and has a half-twist throttle).
Not that the legislation is 100% unrelated, but I see it likely more of just accepting that people have been going faster for a while.
When that older DX game port was released, I think it took like 3 or 4 days for them to take it down. Probably even like a ~~patch~~ stomp tuesday situation when the interns hand off the script detections off to the lawyers.
It might take a bit longer if people stopped using sites like Youtube and Github, and tried not to include trademarked terms (or super-identifiable audiovisual content) anywhere.
Correct. The last line of my comment is most relevant to this chain.
More specifically I could say that while many optimizations might be general-use or discoverable, others may be specific to said old system (or maybe getting around limitations). That and this level of optimization would be diminishing returns for even the lowest of modern systems (but obviously nearly required for the target hardware).
Making a minimalist and well-optimized game for desktop PC is going to be significantly easier and with more of an audience than trying to target most other hardware. There are also fantasy consoles like TIC-80 or WASM-4 for more modern/open targets that likely have better documentation/communities (or the community for whatever language you are using instead).
