maybe next year instead of amateur fireworks on every block for hours and hours we can try holding up a single beautiful flower

Yeah, it's time to get this post out again

often i am scared for no reason or several reasons

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.

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

(guy who's not getting anything done voice) I need to learn every skill and all information

I know this has been said before, but I think its not only great but also super important that TADC was able to achieve the level of success its gotten not only as a piece of art, but also as an animated project from an indie studio. Now a days it's almost become a constant thing to hear about how animation in the west gets shafted hard by studio meddling or corporate bullshit, and the medium sometimes gets treated with absolute disdain from those same higher corporate power. But Glitch and Gooseworx didn't have that barrier to stop them, no one higher up telling them what they can or cannot do, no fear of the series suddenly getting cancelled, just a chance for someone to tell the story she wanted to tell and an indie studio that took a chance on it. And what resulted was not only a worldwide successful series that's beloved by millions, but a showcase that people with the heart and passion for animation can find success outside the mainstream corporate bubble. This is a big win for animation and I hope it inspires more Indie artists to take a chance on their own passion projects.
