Seems weird to critique “western game devs”
Developers of any region can be terrible.

Isn’t that exactly why you pick up your account and move servers?
Again, they were also running a server we could join - I don’t know why they thought they had the resources to handle that.
I definitely agree on news organizations doing this (and even government departments), but the problem with Mozilla doing it is they were running a server any of us could join - if they don’t have the resources to run it for themselves, they definitely shouldn’t be doing it for others to join.
Seems really stupid on their part to not just force a name change.
Though I guess maybe they hope you’ll just rebuild everything.
To the surprise of no one - Mozilla should have just made accounts on some server and promised support for said server
Indeed, but to riff on the article a bit - the thing that’s different is that social media has demonstrative harm.
We need to be teaching kids to use it responsibly, regulating tech companies to give it away responsibly, and not just banning it and grabbing screens out of hands.
Lol, what a great title
I still miss the community gimmicks of the DS/3DS - Miis being shared wirelessly, pictochat, etc etc.
We need more of that
They did end up re-releasing it on Switch and mobile - but the removal of the dual screen combat mechanic seems like a dulling of the game (imo)
Don’t forget Python 2 and Python 3
Hopefully she’s looking forward to voting for him in 2025.
Also terrible for the environment
Plus… in a digital age, publishers just seem to be the private insurance companies of the gaming world - they just extract profit from developers.
but Mars L1 Lagrange point is only 2.2million km [from the sun]
I… don’t think that’s true? The L1 point is fairly close (in solar system scale) to the planet.
In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind."
Indeed, “in the future” seems to be doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. As noted, 1-2 Tesla is a pretty powerful magnet - so you’d need a pretty big and powerful magnet.
It also doesn’t completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.
That is certainly an important catch.
Mars gets roughly half the light of Earth, so I don’t think Solar panels would be realistic (how much solar panel surface would you need to power a magnet of that size?)
I’m also not sure a nuclear reactor is realistic - forget the nuclear waste, how do you get rid of the heat waste?
You’d need quite a big magnet operating at a level akin to superconducting magnets in particle accelerators.
Perhaps someone could calculate more accurate numbers and feasibility, but to me, it currently sounds very out of reach for us (not impossible, mind you).
You just put a giant magnet in space at Mars’ L1 Lagrange point
Well, that’s a lot saner than nuking the poles.
Doesn’t seem like we’re near technical feasibility, though - how would you power such a massive magnet in space?
Even his bullshit non-answer is incoherent 💀
Nearly 900 games have been delisted.
There’s also Fable 3, which you can’t buy anymore because it used Games for Windows, which resulted in no more CD keys.
Would be an interesting Dr. Stone moment - what would we rediscover if we started from scratch in a 10 year time limit?
