It very much has that mid 90s attitude and unique to DOS too. From what I remember, consoles didn’t really have these sort of games.
Having just watched a video explaining how EA strongarmed SEGA during the Genesis/Mega Drive era, the main reason games that “feel” like this one almost never graced the early consoles was mostly due to awful deals that Sega and Nintendo forced publishers to accept - “we’ll produce however many carts we want to, whenever we want to”.
Making a PC game at the time, on the other hand, meant a lot more creative freedom, lower development costs and higher profit per sale, though with a way, way smaller market.

Name an economic system that doesn’t eventually funnel money to the top. Not one person has answered that on lemmy, but it sounds like you can!
Other lemmings already did, but you’re hellbent on saying “Nuh-uh! That doesn’t count!” which, judging from your other comments, comes from not wanting to accept that an economic system isn’t a magical, isolated thing that is simple to understand and always works the same everywhere, without any relation to the groups and communities within it.

You’re complaining about accumulation of power/wealth and how it ends up being abused by the powerful/wealthy. That’s one of the main features of unregulated capitalism

At least you can blame yourself for your own shitty code, which hopefully will never attempt to “accidentally” erase the entire project

Off the top of my head, I can immediately think of “civitt” as a better alternative - civilians instead of corpo overlords. Personitt. Hell, even “netizen” or some variation of that would be better. Zennet?

So, if I’m on programming.dev and you’re the owner/manager of lemmy.world, I can post on lemmy.world but you can’t block me at all, is that right?
- Comment on Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down 1 week ago:
No sane person wants to run anything on the internet where they can’t delete or block comments/users/other instances
it can scale infinitely because there are no historical ledger like a blockchain or hub, it’s like bittorrent, if a community no longer has any seeds, it stops existing.
Sounds like freenet, though the obvious downside of freenet is that you have to have it running as a program before you access its sites.

- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 week ago:
You might want a pirate steam copy if it’s one of the games that isn’t properly updated on gog, which is unfortunately common with newer games
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 week ago:
Buy on gog if it’s there. Buy on steam otherwise. Keep a pirate copy handy either way.

It’s really weird how getting old nowadays means “I know how to do this shit FOR FREE” for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I’ll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 week ago:
Also, sometimes games on gog don’t receive DLC or patch updates because the devs/publisher forget or don’t care. I remember seeing an extensive list of games, ~250, explaining what they had missing. I think A Hat in Time was one of the worst offenders
Here’s a gog forum post on the problem - www.gog.com/forum/general/…/page1
