abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

You have to understand that the median voter in America is legitimately a fucking moron.

sometimes I read my own writing and I'm like "hell yeah that's actually cool", and sometimes it's just like.......what did I mean by this. what the fuck does this mean:

like from the surrounding context, the guy is surprised by something and is experiencing palpitations. but why this metaphor? a bicycle pierced his chest. why? is this a typo? was I sick? am I stupid?

Since people are getting into Hannibal again, I feel like this never got the attention it deserved.

finally some real fucking news

girlnephew

so many people in the notes don’t understand. this is an article about a specific grouse named mister grouse who really is the friendliest bird in the forest. i’m sorry your sister got attacked by some other bird. your bloodline’s heavy karmic debt was probably to blame.

I saw a gif today of hundreds of slugcats pouring out into the open at once from some tiny space labelled "containment breach" but I can't find it on tumblr's gif search I have it as video but tumblr is not letting me upload it either so you'll have to imagine it, it was truly a marvel it made me immediately think of your rain world posts and the video I saw on how much more accurately than most games Rain World depicts an ecosystem

I think ive seen something like this on youtube lol i'lls earch for it again...
