That’s a bummer. I thought I saw a video where they got a ghostly outline of Donkey Kong working already. If one guy or a few guys hacks theirs and gets it working it’s probably enough to make an emulator though. I’m always astonished by the ability of the hacking community to overcome the measures that the corporations put in place.

But couldn’t you just cap it off and flush the line after each use?

I wonder how much of the ink drying up thing is designed in to modern printers to waste ink in head cleaning? I suspect that someone with the consumers’ best interest at heart may be able to find a solution to that problem.

I don’t believe it’s much different to crack that form of copy protection than any other. You may have to mod the console or use an emulator to play it back but I’m pretty confident it won’t phase the cracking crews. The only downside being that it takes some time, but I find myself waiting 2 years now before I buy AAA titles just to get a price I can stomach. By that time a lot of them will have good cracks and emulators available.

They will if they pirate them. Which is really the only logical way to handle this shit that the console makers are doing.

Get the fuck out of my car, now!

Can they see my girlfriend giving me a blowjob?

Nancy is such a rapscallion.

Yes they can try to be the best producer, mixer, recording engineer, mastering engineer, marketing, PR/AR, distribution, promotion, tour booking manager, in order to rise to the level of those spending millions on it.

A few actually pull that off. But for the most part those things are reserved for acts with money to spend. Stuff like almost all large venues being owned by only 1 company with deep ties to the established record and promotion companies makes it very hard to book your show there even if you had the money to do so.

The truth is that the vast majority of pop stars come from wealthy and connected families who can afford to buy them into the business or who are already established in the entertainment businesses.

MMmmmm, more crocodile tears for me to lick up!!

I don’t begrudge anyone their love of Taylor Swift either. I just think that it’s mostly because that’s what was fed to them rather than because of any genius she may have.

I, also an older man, don’t spend much time disliking pop culture, whether it be Talylor Swift or 6-7, neither of which matter much to me despite having a 9 year old that said it pretty constantly last year. I save most of my hate for the fascists ruining our world.

I think if you heard all the objectively better stuff given the treatment it deserves, you wouldn’t have any interest in the stuff that’s being crammed down your throat. Not that it would be worse than it is today, it just wouldn’t get the money and attention and production it gets due to far better things being available on the market.

As a parent I can answer this one. Nice rocks mostly. Sometimes bugs or candy or sand. Sticks tend to be too big.

Thats just because you haven’t heard the 100 better musicians who’s daddy couldn’t buy them into the business.

That’s usually all they make
