there's some subtle humor here in that people constantly complain about unoptimized games, but at the same time all that space was used in trying *to* optimize
the real story: don't prematurely optimize. and if/when you do do it, for fuck's sake, test it yourself!

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

The scam is to conflate everything that computers do (or ever have done) with the current "AI" craze, so that the AI scam tech that nobody wants feels inevitable, rather than a tech bubble run by villains, that needs to crash immediately.

Scammers were pushing this exact same argument when crypto was their scam of the day.
They don't give a damn about scientific advancement - it's just "make money or get out of the way."

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

Okay so RetroAchievements:
Removed the Romhack
Removed the staff member pushing for it from Admin
Banned a bunch of the chuds trying to pile on
Removed some other stuff that shouldn't have been there
Reinstated and unblocked accounts that shouldn't have been
I think they're handling this right tbh
