“in a time when Americans are as or more divided and polarized than at any time since the 19th century, the appeal of feel-good patriotic stories about Americans fighting “the last good war” should be greater today than in 1998.”
Hot take:
A small part of the reason WW2 media is no longer popular is that it features Americans fighting Nazis and now a significant percentage of Americans are Nazis.
I still let it grow despite the weeds. But weeds is an understatement. As I said, it’s thornbushes and they grow into impassible thicket. I have enough acres that I’m fine with it. But it’s not something the average homeowner could allow to happen. It isn’t child safe.
I did that as a kid on occasion and have done it as an adult to relive my childhood.
Don’t knock it until you try it. In the right proportions, the sugar of the jelly mixed with the fat of the peanut butter, creates PB&J flavored frosting.
For example eating a stick of butter is gross or eating a cup of sugar is too much. But mix them together and you get frosting which when spread on cake is amazing.

I argued this premise years ago with the wsb crowd during the first run up and was down voted.
GME won’t go up and stay up because whenever the stock goes up, the Board/CEO will issue more stock to cash out the money that shareholders put into the stock. It will be shareholder funded executive bonuses.
The Animals record “House Of The Rising Sun” in one take at De Lane Lea Studios on Kingsway in London. The song would top the UK singles chart the following July and reach number one in America two months later. In 1999, the record was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award
Sky pilot was also the Animals? How did I not know that??
Eric Burdon’s wife left him for Jimi Hendrix.
The guitarist for The Animals was Andy Summer who went on to The Police.
The bassist was Chas Chandler who left to manage Jimi Hendrix and Slade.
Eric Burdon was the Eggman in the Beatles I am the Walrus. There are two stories confirming it. One is from Malcolm McDowell with Eric being at Lennon’s house for breakfast, and one story is racy. Although both stories could be true with the common thread being Lennon calling Burdon the Eggman.
It was tricky both because the website that retrogamecorps linked sometimes didn’t work and there are many variations of the SM64 ROM that all play identically but the website that reads your ROM only works with one particular version. I downloaded several before I found one that worked.
While I agree that ROM + emulator is best for preservation, you absolutely can fix the space invader bug because you have the C code which would let you add in delays. Just like there are many versions of Space Invaders for different consoles an none of them use emulation but play like the original. I’m a fan of si78c, a memory accurate reimplementation of the 1978 arcade game written in C.
Of course Space Invaders wasn’t written in C so this new tool doesn’t apply.
But the article does talk about how the decompiler sometimes introduces bugs and how they were manually fixed before compiling.
So you were right but the problem you brought up has already been addressed. (And will continue to need to be addressed as more cross compiling bugs are found in each game.)
I interpreted the word “legacy” the OP used as the fandom for old games rather than perfect preservation.
I was very pro nuclear but in the past few years, solar+batteries have become cheaper than nuclear. We can go 100% solar + batteries for less than building nuclear and save the uranium for important things like spaceflight.
So if you type cats but the item is called pets get no results. Now the ai can find context based matches in the auto complete list.
Google added context search to Gmail and it’s infuriating. I’m looking for an exact phrase that I even put in quotes but Gmail returns a long list of emails that are vaguely related to the search word.
It shouldn’t even automatically fallback. If I am looking for an exact phrase and it doesn’t exist, the result should be “nothing found”, so that I can search somewhere else for the information. A prompt, “Nothing found. Look for related information?” Would be useful.
But returning a list of related information when I need an exact result is worse than not having search at all.
Godzilla (2014) was pretty good, except for Muto having that electromagnetic pulse weapon. Why would a biological evolutionarily develop such a thing? It's useless against Godzilla.
