It turns out your allowed to have a .rom of a game as long as you delete it within 24 hours

BUT

there's a workaround, if your rom site has a notice that no law enforcement people can look at it theycan never get the download logs and then they'll never know how long you had the .roms for

there are no actual video games, or monitors, or controllers, or graphics

these are all just matter and energy moving around within space and time, a context that we do not fully understand

it is our senses that causes us to interpret these as a viewscreen, buttons, and a video game

when we win a game, we are not actually winning, we are simply fulfilling an arbitrary set of conditions within a hierarchical logical system that has no self awareness or ability to perpetuate itself

[Anonymous No.1549520]

>>1549509
No, you're thinking of the thirteenth amendment where the government freed all software from proprietary licenses, thus making roms de facto legal. There is no explicit right to bear arms, it's just against the rules to enslave games.

How could a drink be "soft"

God damn english...

[Anonymous No.1549553]

>>1549542
It's in comparison to radioactive heavy water (a big problem in Japan post WWII), it was just mistranslated as "soft" instead of "light." As with many of these things, the misnomer stuck.

In ALttP, whenever you got a heart you replenished some health because they were the actual hearts of the enemies you defeated - you simply ate their hearts and replenished your blood since hearts contain lots of blood. Also, whenever you hit enemies with a boomerang you stunned them and if you killed them afterwards, they'd always drop a rupee. That's because instead of killing them you just robbed them while they were unconscious since you're a good guy after all and don't really like killing.

That's not a joke. Soft drinks were called that to differentiate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (hard drinks). It caught on with soda, but pretty much anything non-alcoholic could be called a soft drink.
