That's not really Facebook either.
The general difference is that you lose out on metadata - names, comments and organization that helps the source code in whatever programming language make sense, but which is not needed to actually execute the desired behavior on your CPU. Usually stuff like sensible names for bits of your code - functions/reusable logic, storage locations for "health" or "armor" or "current powerup", movement states, types of objects etc.
However, most of these are just another kind of number to the computer itself, so a lot of compilation processes strip a lot of this information. You could still reverse engineer it, but you're missing context (like all those names) from the original code and that makes the work potentially pretty difficult. Bear in mind that reading actual original source code is sometimes cryptic enough, then compare "if player is dead, show game over screen" to if (sdfdfgsdfg == jgdfg) { lkghku(); } because the "decompiler" has to invent some kind of name for everything that's missing. Now you have to deal with thousands of jfdsghklgs, and figure out what it all means.
2023: Make oblivion in space
I fucking wish. I'm a huge, bitter whiner about Starfield and I would've loved it if it'd kept quality as high as Oblivion was (for its time, don't laugh)
There was a lot of PR consultant driven hype early on, and quite a few people bought into it, or just assumed Bethesda could do no wrong and leapt to their defense. Or it was their goons astroturfing, none of the alternatives would really be that surprising.
Can I just stay here? That sign looks comparatively interesting and well made.
Morrowind was always this for me. I started the series with Oblivion and Skyrim. Those have their own issues, but at least you hit things when you hit them, and their leveling systems won't actually screw you over if you don't Excel it correctly.
SMB 1 and 2. The SMB1 engine was revolutionary, but I hate the controls. SMB2, the Western one, just never felt like Mario, even back then. I also mostly started on SMB3 which had much better platforming and controls and was actually a Mario game, so that's probably why.
I consider myself, more or less, a "Zelda fan", at least from LttP to about half of Wind Waker. I will never play the first two NES games, though. Aside from 2 being "pretty much not zelda", 1 is so full of arbitrary wonk, "Guide dammit", and "Nintendo hard" that I don't feel like it even for historical purposes.
Exactly this. I have no idea how people are justifying dragging someone through the mud in front of people. Imagining being anon is obviously rough (which is probably why someone posted this almost certainly hypothetical scenario), but just having a place at this table would be extremely awkward.
OK, whether the specific term "berating" is semantically correct or not, that's not particularly relevant to whether or not it's decent behavior. It is still an ostentatious, infantilizing putdown of anon. In company, and in a setting that's looking a lot like "dinner with the extended family".
Even if anon is the deadbeatiest deadbeat to ever deadbeat, that is... asshole behavior. Pure and simple. Maybe the anon of this fake greentext deserves that?
Maybe, for some definition of "rights". If doing it in public, it would still 100% make you an asshole no matter how right you were.
Publically and condescendingly berating a (presumably) grown man in front of his entire family, infantilizing him and the crypto thing, the little power demonstration with the drinks, getting everyone to laugh at the poor jobless bastard?
Not sure how wholesome that seems to me. Chewing someone out in public, especially at dinner, is asshole behavior. Being overbearingly "positive" about it on the surface doesn't really help.
We demonstrate, however, that Brunini under-estimated the energetics by twelve orders of magnitude
Oh snap.
