abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

Grace, just out of the shower: "Now that I think about it, I dont think I've seen you bathe."

Rocky: "Hasn't been neccessary."

Grace: "You havent cleaned up once since we met?"

Rocky, huffy: "Rocky doesn't have 7-10 holes producing gross gross gross liquids! Doesn't need daily clean up!"

Grace: "...And your species doesn't have a sense of smell. Doesn't matter if you're unwashed and stinky all the time."

Rocky: "I am clean!"

Grace: "Even after being set on fire? C'mon, buddy. You can admit it if all that time alone left you a little sloppy. I certainly did."

Rocky: "Yes, I saw."

Rocky:

Rocky: "Fine. Rocky will 'bathe.'"

Grace: "...and I'll watch!"

Rocky: "...That! That was Grace's scheme! No, no, no! Not watch Rocky bathe."

Grace: "It cant be worse than you eating, and besides: you know its valuable for our species' shared future. We need to understand one another fully."

Rocky: "First ask watch eat, then Grace ask wash, what next? Getting ♪♬♫♩♪♪? ♩♫♫♪♬ an egg?? Fucking 𝄞??"

Grace: "I mean, if you're offering..."

Rocky: "Bad bad bad!"

Grace, laughing: "Sorry, sorry. You really dont have to show me, your comfort is important."

Grace: "But you do listen to me shower every day."

Rocky:

Rocky: "Point taken."

Rocky: "Grace can watch."

Grace: 🙌

"Net zero information post" is funny and all but I really like when a false claim is debunked and then supplemented with an explanation of where the error came from and like, extra information that helps inoculate against future misinfo

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face
