Right now I have an small experiment running with my local AI (Qwen-Next, via Strata+Hermes Agent), to attempt recompiling a Windows v3.1 game into being a native modern application. Whether it works, and how much QA is required to get the gameplay and aesthetic into good order, remains to be seen. Personally I expect this AI model to fail, but this is more about seeing how many months I should wait before trying again.

I'm curious as to your progress on that

Results are what matter, not the pain of the process.

Not related to what you're doing, but be very careful with that mindset, because it's used to excuse all sorts of exploitation and abuse

    13:10, someone asks "Is it street legal?" - Elon replies "yeah, depends on your street". There you have it, yet another street illegal car

    Not gonna lie, the tricks shown are cool, but leaving something like that in the hands of moneyed idiots will lead to horrible crashes.

    With how apple shit is treated like divine ambrosia and, in many places, a status symbol, I seriously doubt any boycott against them will have any effect.

    Android is like Windows in the 1990s. It's fucking everywhere and literally too big to boycott. Most OEMs also prefer to play ball with Google and keep the phones locked because it's profitable for them as well. Boycotting a specific OEM might cause some damage to them, but it won't budge Google. It's good that some companies are making phones that ship with more open android clones, but those phones are still too expensive for most people to buy

    Pretty sure "decompiling" has always been the easy step - open the binary with a hex editor and dump the contents as some source code. Making sense of that is where shit gets really difficult - making it work was usually even harder.

    I'm trying out a few seeds myself to see what I end up getting. My current favorite, dees1, spawns fucktons of relaxaurus in the starting area, ragnahawks, bushis and celesdirs in the areas of the Petalia and Elizabee bosses, faleris aqua and orserks in the wetlands of Grintale boss, among other interesting spawns.

    What are some seeds you folks tried?

     

    Or, put it another way, a html renderer that can open most web pages, but has a different programming/scripting language that it can interpret during runtime or on page loads, instead of the javascript engine.

    I suppose that java applets, flash and activeX were attempts in these directions, but they were things you had to install on top of the browsers, so not quite the same thing? I'm imagining something like web pages using Lua, since it's lightweight, to make them dynamic.
