Dungeon Master was distributed on a floppy disk that had a specific weak sector that would randomly return 1 or 0 when read. The game would periodically read that sector and, if it returned the same bit x times in a row, it would kill your entire party. When copying the disk, the original would read either 1 or 0 and then write that value in that specific sector, meaning the copy would always return 1 or 0.

The check was random, hidden in graphics files, and this, combined with some obfuscation and some more copy protection, meant it took over a year for the game to get cracked. A record at the time.

The dev claimed that the time and effort spent on the protection scheme was worth it as it allowed the game to keep selling through typical sales channels for much longer than usual.

I grow whichever plants I want, which includes hot peppers, yes.

But also zucchini and rhubarb and strawberries and cherry tomatoes and…

I’d rather find toilets but when cities decide to remove them, all that’s left is walls.

Cities: “ugh, toilets are so expensive to maintain. Remove them.”

Cities: “everything smells like piss now :(”

If there is no toilets available, a wall or a bush does the trick just fine. I ain’t going to rupture my fucking bladder because some bean counter decided to count beans.

Imagine thinking of population and living as efficiency first and not wellbeing.

City people are crazy lol.

Rabbit hutches are the most efficient way to keep rabbits. They piss and shit on themselves and on top of each other, live sad and miserable lives, and require synthetic food being directly delivered to them. Just like human cities :D

Also, the great thing about not living in a city is the fact you can grow your own food reducing the need for incredible amount of supporting land around you. I barely have to go to the grocery store or farmer’s market for my vegetables.

Cities are sadness and misery factories, and some of the most polluted places humans have ever managed to create.

It’s the kind of farming you need in order to provide for the high density rabbit hutchescities that are supposed to save the planet

I guess it also depends if you consider different lettuce/cabbage varieties as different plants. Which I guess is the point of the discussion! so fair. I also dind’t really think about stuff like soy sauce and oils as plants but I guess they are

Depends if you count spices I guess but most people only consume like a handful of different veggies all year long

It’s true you don’t own a selfish acre of perfectly farmable land instead you only survive because someone else is feeding you factory farmed, pesticide flavored, expensive monoculture food from their own acres moved into the city by the truckload :D so much better for the planet I agree :D :D

My neighbor got the brillant idea to plant blackberries and raspberries in their garden

Containment has been a decade long, endless fight. You think you got rid of it all? There’s literally not a bramble in sight? Hahahahahahahaha no.

Can’t have biodiversity when you’re packing people to live in these rabbit hutchesbig cities ‘to save the planet’ as they say.

You need that factory farmed samey shit because without it you wouldn’t have the ability to feed the people living in these sad places.

You know who enjoys biodiversity? Rural people who have access to their own garden to grow stuff :3 (capitalists hate this trick)
