@Frank Foxpro crashed and wiped out all your data and you realized it's because you ignore a warning?

Frank

@Memor-X No, I just figured out how City of Heroes stored it's auction house data.

Rather than use anything approaching a normalized table structure, each character gets one row in the table. And one field stores all the data for their buying and selling.

Memor-X

@Frank ok........surprised they didn't just store it in text files

@Memor-X They use SQL for most persistent changeable data.

While Citra is emulating much more recent games, using ROMs in an NES emulator is just as illegal

Wrigglenite

Q: What's the official stance on console emulation?

The way I see it, many of us enthusiasts are probably familiar with emulation and use emulators to play classic games. (I do, I'll readily admit.) However, it's also fairly likely that many cartridge/disc/tape/etc. rips for said emulators are ... well ... not 100% legal, at least in the U.S., an...

pokemon-x-y emulation pokemon-black-2-white-2

So why was this off-topic, specifically?

ToxicFrog

Emulators themselves are legal. ROMs it depends on jurisdiction, the copyright status of the work itself, and how you got the ROM; in particular, dumping a ROM yourself of a game you own is generally fine, as are homebrew games (and most older consoles have thriving homebrew scenes)

Wrigglenite

@Stormblessed 5 people voted to close it

Stormblessed

@ToxicFrog I see all this stuff about "oh, it's legal", but in my experience talking to people IRL who use them, it's basically always for downloading a game illegally and playing it

And basically no games are out of copyright

Copyright lasts a long time

Like 75 years after author death, I think

70

Moacir

If they were, with the release of the newer retro consoles( head hurts ) I think they get auto-renewed or something

Unionhawk

2:28 PM

did you just not read the "dumping a ROM yourself of a game you own is generally fine" part or

ToxicFrog

@Stormblessed no games have naturally expired from copyright. Some developers/publishers have released their games into the public domain.

Stormblessed

@Unionhawk Again, from my experience I've never met anyone who does that

MBraedley

I hate being forced to adult on financial things. But I also want to save myself some money in the long run.

Unionhawk

@Stormblessed how do you think the files were obtained to be put on the internet in the first place

they didn't just magically appear online one day

Moacir

@Stormblessed To be fair, I used an emulator and a save transfer tool to get a 100% pokemon Gold/silver run

I had only one Ds and the two cartridges

Unionhawk

2:31 PM

that question was considered to be off topic because 5 people voted that way. Your other flags were probably marked declined because they went through the close vote queue and were marked as "leave open" by enough people

Stormblessed

@ToxicFrog But a lot of these questions mentioning specific games are on like FFVI, which is definitely in copyright, Square still sells it

Ronan

Why do you care?

Just let people ask their questions

Jason Berkan

Hah. Have you been at this site long?

ToxicFrog

@Stormblessed right. So maybe they pirated it, maybe they have the cart and dumped it themselves, maybe they live in one of the jurisdictions where it is legal to download and keep ROMs if you have the cart, just not upload them...why do you care?

Stormblessed

@Unionhawk No offense, but that is a bad argument. If one person who legally obtained the files puts them on the internet, it doesn't make it not piracy

ToxicFrog

2:32 PM

Arquade isn't in the business of helping people pirate games, but it's also not in the business of cross-examining each poster to see if they really bought the game they're asking about.

Unionhawk

fwiu, for example, it's fairly easy to dump gamecube roms with a homebrew wii

idk how much harder getting a 3ds one is

but it also doesn't matter

ToxicFrog

It's also trivial to dump PSX, PS2 and PSP games, and in fact I digitized my libraries for those years ago and moved entirely to emulation.

(the hardest part was getting all the save files off the PSX and PS2 memory cards)

Stormblessed

I just think that if I made a game on something which ended up like the Wii U (emulated extremely fast, having Zelda dumped onto the internet before it released), from what I've seen on the internet, if it were popular, in like two years nobody would actually want to buy my game because they could so easily play it illegally

Video games are expensive to make, and ones like Citra and CemU for games that are still being sold are bad.

Unionhawk

noted game that nobody wanted to buy, the legend of zelda: breath of the wild

Stormblessed

@Unionhawk Yeah, bad example lol

I just remembered that people had pirated that before it was released

ToxicFrog

2:38 PM

@Stormblessed ok, so your argument is "piracy materially hurts sales[citation needed], so gaming.stackexchange.com should proactively police its userbase for pirates"?

Stormblessed

eh, I don't know

Unionhawk

(also, re-reading, for the particular case, "I don't have a 3ds" may have done it: I'm not a scientist but I imagine owning a 3ds is necessary to dump a rom)

Moacir

This is like to argue that lock picking should not be discussed on home/renovation stacks because thieves lock pick to steal

Unionhawk

(or at least having access to, I suppose)

ToxicFrog

(AFAIK all extant 3DS dumping techniques require a 3DS with CFW, yes. I don't have one either, though, so I have no first-hand experience here.)

Unionhawk

2:42 PM

whatever 3 other reopen voters can make of that what they will, I honestly completely don't care and this is not a problem that is unique to that particularity anyway (and also you can't undo a reopen once it's cast)

(the same guy has another thread about how someone he knows has the libertarian party ballot line for governor in NY, then everyone told him that nobody in this organization was interested thanks, and now it's on bitcoin somehow)

Trolls gonna troll.

This feels like "The Florida man went online"

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan see, but from what I've seen I think there's sufficient evidence that he's real and I don't get it

either real or very good

Q: I randomly lost coins in Overwatch?

I went into my hero gallery to look at Genji's stuff but when I selected him my coins fell to 2800 from 3800. Does anyone know why this happened? I don't know if this helps but I play on Xbox One.

Q: Can I create a preset of options for the LoL spectator mode?

I'm a referee in a local LoL league, and something that irks me is that at the beginning of every game I have to press I and then check scoreboard to get the scoreboard. I'd like it to be checked right away when I load in the game I'm spectating. Is there a way to do that? Seeing as the LoL Esp...

Old version of Minecraft now available in-browser

Minecraft is 10 years old

user15026

That hurts my brain

Private Pansy

@fredley You know, someone built a web browser that runs in Minecraft, so...

Chippies

9:50 PM

@fredley wasn't classic minecraft always available in browser?

I vaguely remember playing it back when survival was in its infancy

ofc I'm pretty sure it ran as a java applet, unlike this one...

I did a tiny brave yesterday. I had applied for medical/dental benefits through work and it was denied for bs reasons and I was sad and mopey for a few days, but yesterday I emailed the colleague support centre of our work company and today I got an email saying that they have escalated it to higher people :D
One step for mankind, huge achievement for my socially anxious butt

@Chippies also, did I just reply without an @ showing? :O that's... new?

murgatroid99

@Chippies I think multiline replies always did that, same with replies that are quotations

Chippies

@murgatroid99 hmm, I guess I never did multiline replies enough to notice. I have heard people say a lot of things are different with multiline messages though, so this makes sense

10:13 PM

@Chippies Awww heck yes that is a good tiny brave. Go you. I hope it works out and you get the benefits!

Chippies

@Ash Thanks, I really hope it all works out fine

user15026

Here's hoping it does, and that it goes smoothly

Chippies

if the world was fair, it wouldn't have been denied in the first place, but we all know we live in a world that still needs a lot of work :P

kinda expecting them to just be like "yeah, we escalated it to higher people and they said sorry, you're shit out of luck"

but, y'know, fingers crossed :)

anyways, I should go have a nap before work...

user15026

@Chippies ooooh very much so, unfortunately.

Chippies

I haven't been talking much here lately :x Life's been ups and downs for a while now and I feel like I have very little positive to add to this place, so that's why I don't talk much here :x

user15026

10:22 PM

hug You don't have to be positive all the time, we will still make room for you <3

user15026

(And if you ever need someone to talk to you know where to find me, yeah? I can't always guarantee I can help, but I can do my best to listen!)

Chippies

I know, I just... My whole life I've hid my emotions, not wanting to burden anyone and it's hard to undo that mentality

user15026

nods I totally understand that sort of feeling.

Chippies

I'm pretty good at "talking" to myself and being my own therapist, so I feel like ranting to anyone else is just getting them down when I can just deal with it myself, you know?

Half Empty

@Chippies I don't always contribute positively, but sometimes it's just nice to talk

Chippies

10:24 PM

you're all great though and I appreciate that I'm welcome here :)

user15026

@Chippies As long as you have a healthy way of going about things, but know if you do ever wanna just be like "oh blah things are bad blargh boo" we will totes listen.

Half Empty

@Chippies you work at loblaws right?

Chippies

I tend to overthink everything I say and end up saying the bare minimum, lol

@HalfEmpty yeah

Half Empty

Part time?

Chippies

it's a part time position, but I do 40 hours most of the time

Half Empty

10:26 PM

Dental benefits are still available to part time I believe but you have to have a minimum years of service and also based on hours worked in the previous year

I think it's three years. And like 500 hours

Chippies

oh yeah, I know I have it available to me, I already had applied, but I was denied because due to switching to Workday and lack of training of employees that should've helped me with this, I had to apply as a late applicant

and as a late applicant they find any stupid reason to deny the benefits

Half Empty

Ahhh

Could be way off tho

Workday sux

Chippies

they literally denied my benefits because I hurt my back at work and had to go off work for 2 weeks

Half Empty

I just joined Yammer the other day, lol

Maybe I can use it to kiss some more asses

Well what I'm really hoping for is to network a little

Chippies

@HalfEmpty I work night shifts, so I hardly interact with anyone :P

there's only like 10 people on night shift

Half Empty

10:28 PM

Ah ye

Don't think I could do that

Chippies

it destroys your social life and it's not easy on your body

but I get paid more and don't have to deal with customers, so :shrug:

Half Empty

My current job is not really easy on the body either tbh

So I feel you

Chippies

don't have to deal with management either for 7 out of 8 hours, lol

the job itself is hard on the body, but working nights takes its toll as well

Half Empty

Hopefully makes some impression on anyone who sees it

Mostly just managers on there right now

And suits

Chippies

I don't really see why anyone would use Yammer, other than to kiss ass, no offense :)

Half Empty

10:33 PM

Yeah kinda

Chippies

you can't just chat "for fun", because management is always watching and you're not really gonna be talking to management either, unless you maybe have something work-related to bring up to them? And you'd probably wanna do that in person anyway, Idk

I know no one on night shift at our place uses it

Half Empty

Sarah Davis posted about a talk she gave on Loblaw s plan for the future wrt to technology and somebody commented asking if the training she talked about was going to be available to everyone

Which apparently it is

But if it's kinda useless

That's the head of operations for us

Or something. Head honcho

Chippies

our store is pretty small compared to probably every other Loblaw store

I am certainly not trying to make a career out of this, but I also can't see myself quitting, especially if I can get the benefits...

I feel like if I did day shift, I could probably be a little more involved? but as night shift, it's literally just go to work, do my job, go home and forget about work until next shift

I used to care more, but there are some workers who get away with doing bare minimum or less and nothing gets said to them and they also make more money than I do, because they've been there longer

also, the two times I hurt my back at work, I realized how disposable I am and that it's not worth it for me to work as hard, lol

that being said - I'm still one of the top night shift employees...

which says more about the people I work with, than it says about me

anyways, really need to go have a nap, got to get up for work in less than 3 hours :> ttyl

11:06 PM

i just accidentally swallowed a cashew :(

Half Empty

@Chippies I never planned to but I'm still here.. I'm not going to get my wage benefits and full time anywhere else without going back to school
