Gotta love Js, but I don’t understand how it always smells so much stronger than the same amount burned in another fashion. Maybe that’s grandma’s problem with it?

Any ending vowel. Watching “kung-fu” movies dubbed in Hong Kong (so using British English) and they are clearly saying “ninjers”. 😅

- Comment on How gamers were nickel and dimed in 80s and 90s (besides arcades) 2 months ago:
StarTropics for NES had a “letter from your uncle” in the manual, that you had to soak in water to reveal the submarine’s activation code when you reached Chapter 4. I think that was the only time we used the Nintendo tip line, because of a lost manual!

Some games let you keep playing without the correct code… until the difficulty automatically ramped up to impossible levels.

Sunsoft was on a bit of a roll there. The same composer did the soundtrack for Journey to Silius AKA Raf World. They made simulated instrument sounds from the CPU’s sound channels in an different way from everybody else… listen to those games, Gimmick!, and Hebereke.
- Comment on What are some of your favorite Master System memories? 3 months ago:
My friend’s dad worked at a local electronics store, so he was the only person I knew that had the “weird” consoles - Sega Master System and TurboGrafx-16. Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy were the favorites, of course… I liked how you got to buy your choice of weapons in Fantasy Zone.
Years later, I found my own SMS at Goodwill! I need to get a multicart because I only have Fantasy Zone, Ghostbusters, and R-Type.

- Comment on A good tool? 4 months ago:
According to @rtxn@lemmy.world:
It gets better. PowerShell 5, which is still the default installation on Windows 11, aliases `curl` and `wget` to `Invoke-WebRequest`. The fucked-up part is that Win11 includes the real `curl` too, but the alias shadows it, and you have to use `curl.exe`. The even more fucked-up part is that `Invoke-WebRequest` **still uses Internet Explorer** to parse the result, and will panic if `-UseBasicParsing` is not passed every time, or IE isn’t installed and initialized. I used to develop applications in PowerShell. I still wear the mental scars.

AFAIK, you need to use seperate drives and install the OSes in such a way that each drive has its own EFI partition. (Installing with the other drive disconnected is the easy way.) Then only use your UEFI boot selection menu to choose which drive to boot from.

- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 6 months ago:
Of course companies wanted people to share the free demo versions but some full games did have annoying protection schemes in the '80s. Obfuscated data and purposely “bad” sectors on floppy; cardboard decoder wheels; asking for word #x from line #y of page #z of the game’s manual, or, similarly, a page of codes printed in black ink on dark maroon paper to prevent photocopying… leading to folks distributing cracked versions and the cracking tools themselves!
To be fair, it was a pretty ridiculous time. Computer club meetings just turned into floppy-copy-fests.

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?
Huh.

Phones’ modems have their own firmware that gets flashed by the cell provider, so I think spies would target that.
