  I used to live opposite the one in Reservoir and it got me through lockdown. They’re opening a new location opposite Melbourne Central soon. Can’t wait to be able to grab it for lunch regularly again.

  The reason that Google got ruled against originally was that they were paying and offering incentives to developers to keep them from releasing their apps on other app stores.

  I was just able to donate. Maybe give it another go now?

  It’s a good game. Just don’t take the content warning at the start lightly. I’ve tried to finish it twice but haven’t been able to get more than a couple of hours in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelda 64: Recompiled⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit similar. However this goes a bit further than I understand those projects do. They’re creating a game like the original. With this decompilation project, if you use the N64 compiler you will get a ROM which is 100% identical to the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelda 64: Recompiled⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ROM in this case is only used for game assets, like maps, models, and textures. All the game logic in native code. This allows is to be easily modified to add in new features without trying to hack it into a 20 year old game/console.

  I haven’t played it properly either. But there’s a community mod called Deus Ex Revision (It’s also on Steam). Which improves some of the graphics, and looks to include a bunch of QoL features.

  FYI for anyone interested. Immich is a open source, self hosted system for photos/videos like Google Photos. It uses machine learning locally for facial and general image recognition.

  I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a torrent for it. They probably want a simple download button for the less technically inclined too.
