An extremely funny thing about retro rereleases that use unlicensed emulators is that you are basically committing the exact same crime (using software outside of the terms of its license) that has you so scared of downloading roms in the first place but now someone has monetized it.

Violating an emulator's terms of use for your commercial product is really, really gross. That it's happened to endrift at least twice now is awful.

Okay, it's time for me to make my occasional rant.
I don't like stirring the pot in communities but sometimes people pull stunts I can't endorse and have to advise others to exercise caution.

I'll make this a thread so that if you want to disregard this it's pretty easy. Here we go...

dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?si=08tKgL5J4957ZVuI

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-this-is-not-the-computer-for-you/

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Transfer Point is a point-and-click adventure game for Macintosh. It was made in World Builder and MacPaint, and it fits on an 800K floppy disk. It also has an egret. Coming soon for most web browsers, or as a download to play on your classic Mac. robotspacer.software/transfer-point.html #MARCHintosh

Day one of VCF SoCal was a resounding success! Come visit me tomorrow for the second day of Mac hacks, featuring preproduction “Twiggy Mac” materials, music notation software, and Quake running on a Bandai Pippin. Hotel Fera in Anaheim, CA from 9-6. 😎

In Anaheim over Valentine’s Day weekend? Come by VCF SoCal at the Hotel Fera for the latest iteration of my “Mac Hacks” exhibit, and play with some very early Mac software that hasn’t seen the light of day in over 40 years. www.vcfsocal.com

Here’s a little teaser:

This has been going on since at least as far back as 2024. Eagle-eyed fans may notice that the banner for GoG’s The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime store page is set against an environment that can be found nowhere in the game, and looks suspiciously like something out of System Shock

Peter Cartwright, the creator of beloved classic Mac game Escape Velocity: Override, has died. He'd been working for years on a remaster called Cosmic Frontier with help from a fellow called Tom Hancocks, who vows to push through and finish the game in his memory. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicfrontier/cosmic-frontier-override/posts/4589101

*LMA Manager 2006* for PS2/Xbox expected you to call a pay-per-minute hotline to get "bonus codes" that were tied to your "unique ID."

The hotline is gone, so are the cheats? No - I derived the RSA key that was used to generate them from the game data!
