Why bother, Sega?! Cancel the movie, write off a few millions in liabilities, and continue business as usual.
(In other news, Sega just ruined next Valentine's day)
No amount of CGI edits will fix this disaster. If only you had listened to your fans...

Looks like those guy actually don't want to develop FOSS anymore (or they conveniently forgot what was the meaning of "free software licenses"), and instead are itching to make the jump to Mac/cellphone apps, where they follow the Henry Ford School of Design: "you can have your app in any theme you want, as long as it is Adwaita with our pixel-perfect icons".

Hey, Kawa.

The little icons next to the thread titles/forum names are absurdly tiny on my smartphonedatatab in vertical orientation. Zooming doesn't help, as they continue to maintain the same size as the text gets bigger. Flipping it 90 degrees kills the issue.
Confirmed on multiple browsers, which really means "Chrome with a few different names" because the internet is a sad place these days.

Use the default theme instead, please don't theme our pixel-perfect sites.

But how American is apple pie?

Oh.

> I'd definitely argue they're constructive.

The point is that there's a conflict between the idea of theming, which requires a rigidly-defined list of standard widgets, and the idea that application authors should be allowed to customise widgets or invent new ones if they think it's appropriate. The design of GNOME's desktop (or any desktop) or GNOME's default theme (or any theme) or GNOME's theme API (or any theme API) are not relevant to the discussion, because this conflict has affected every desktop based on every GUI toolkit.

> It's definitely possible you could make a theme that broke everything, but that can be dealt with in accordance with the old adage "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". No need to prohibit it explicitly.

The actual claim is that certain Linux distros are shipping with a non-Adwaita theme that breaks third-party applications in various subtle ways. Sure, end-users can set up whatever crazy theme they like, and if they break things they get to keep both pieces, but Linux distros should be more responsible than that. If you'd written application and got regular "bug" reports from users of Distro X because of Distro X's custom theme, you'd be annoyed too.

(oh banks, the only ones that actually come up with mobile payment apps where you can actually pay to nobody due to unfixed frontend bugs!)

In case people are worried that mGBA is an inadequate reference for what a Super Game Boy game *should* look like, there's more screenshots of KoF '96 in the classic Fuck The Super Game Boy article. I have no idea what emulator(s) they used to get those screenshots, but given that it's an entire article about the quirks and subtleties of Super Game Boy features, I expect those screenshots should be an accurate representation.

Imagine, an ABXD with sharting sharding. What even is that?

What happened to the sales & giveaways thread? Or was that on the old board and I'm mis-remembering?

Anyway, Obduction (a surreal adventure game made in 2016 by the creators of Myst) is free for 24 hours on GOG.

But for the browser to block [cryptominers] (while not blocking ads) is incomprehensible.

Advertising is a centuries-old industry, which just about every human interacts with regularly, as a customer or as a consumer. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies are mostly known for Internet scams and ransomware. It's the same reason alcohol and cigarettes are freely available while other equally- or less-harmful substances are banned: nothing to do with the substances themselves, everything to do with tradition.
