That's why we need regulations. Individuals have little effect on infrastructure, and companies are non-thinking entities with no ethics or reason to exist besides profit, so they need to be forced into doing the right thing by law.

Well, GBC was largely an original GB with color and more RAM and such.
Though I don't recall how good emulation GB actually was at the time (myself having just a 486 that could barely play anything. It could only handle ZSNES with max frameskip and sound disabled, which also meant many games would softlock).
I think no$gmb was considered one of the better emulators at the time, yet I remember its sound emulation was quite ear-piercing.
(and also, it cost money to play Color for more than five minutes.)

I think I used an emulator called REW for GB/GBC games once I got a better PC that could at least handle 8/16-bit emulation decently.

meh,he's basically just your typical edgy,overly fragile troll. Zophar is every bland J-RPG trope all in one.The design of Lavos is more interesting and ultimately superior in its effectiveness as an antagonist,unlike the stereotypical villain who invariably turns out to be just another ineffective loser.

Lavos has no ambition because it's essentially a giant scavenger, parasitic organism who fell and buried under the planet eons ago. There's no dumb "Gnya! I'm evil!" thing going on with it.

Ugh, that whole "past is the past" thing is such BS. They teach their children about all the bad things that happened to Japan in the WW2; but never acknowledge, let alone teach about anything bad they did in WW2. When I was teaching in JHS, the school trip was almost always to Kyoto and Nara, which meant a trip to the Atomic Dome in Hiroshima. I always had to grade papers about their trips and what they learnt about their "history". The biggest insults (even though I'm not American) were (and are still) chapters (in all five major textbooks) devoted to teaching English using this history. I would always ask my kids if they knew about anything famous like Pearl Harbour or the colonial rule of South Korea (not WW2, I know, but still relevant) and I swear that I only had one say yes in all those years. Whenever I would try to talk about the ANZAC tradition in Australia, someone would always try to shut me up in fear of getting in trouble themselves. The most amazing thing was having and adult friend tell me that they only learned of any of Japan's atrocities when a tour guide told them about in on a vacation in Australia and then it struck up a conversation where others admitted that they only learned of such things through the Internet or some other foreign medium. This stuff just isn't in the history books because the government has wanted to appear as the good guys for a very long time now.

As an Australian, I was taught about all the atrocities my settler colony (this is after the convicts) ancestors did to the Aborigines; how they tried to steal away their heritage, names and "outbreed" them and eventually steal children away from their families. I actually remember learning of rape from some historical movie I watched in Primary (Elementary) School involving the mistreatment of the Aborigines dating back to the convict colonies, which came as a more than a bit of a shock. The Stolen Generation history itself is a bit skewed in it's teaching, as it focuses purely on Aborigines. My mother (a white woman) was a part of the stolen generation who was put into foster care, as was her foster sibling (a woman I knew as my aunty). But, you can find out this information if you dig a bit.

Everyone was an asshole during the world wars or were just following the orders of another country. If anyone conveniently forgot history, they're still assholes. Racist assholes. Racism. It's everywhere. Still. I don't wanna talk about my experiences because it'll just make me rant like I have a 6-character nick in all lower-case...

I wrote a text editor, for various reasons. It's like VS code, Sublime, or Atom I guess, if any of those programs were written in ~500 lines of code and ran natively on FreeBSD.
