That artificial brightness limitation sounds especially diabolical, people should be able to enjoy high brightness as it (potentially) existed and not have to deal with hard-coded limitations. I'm not from mame though.

Rendering dots using circle texture sounds nice but why are the dots in your renderings the size of something from pac-man? They look comically large.

Tend to agree. Been through so many spring summer fall winter changes that I've just grown to accept that the climate changes. It's not a big deal.

Oh my god, gay sex. Certainly an appopriate thing for 2025 era hackers to rebel against.

Fighting for freedom is outdated, stale, archaic. Perhaps the site can be updated to celebrate the DOGE fighters.

Nice job creating this interesting game. Whatever changes, have a classic mode to keep it as is!

Small aside, this doesn't read right for me? I assume the (the wikipedian) meant '"above and beyond" for their employers"', not employees.

Such divisive sentiments. It's no wonder you got flagged.

It's nice enough. When I uncheck "computer plays black" I did expect the computer to play white.

Don't acquire anything you can't self-insure! Yes even "you", presumably Well To Do hackernews reader, that kinda shoulda knowa better. Stop wasting your money paying insurance, and purchase within your means.

I wonder why ksec is doing this to us. Promoting AI slop videos on HN. What dark path leads someone down to this state of affairs. It's just not right.

I feel like you've made a mistake somewhere in your process and should reconsider everything.

Open to everyone, but you must have Google or Discord account. Has the definition of everyone changed?

I don't understand the implication of colorful text, it just seems hard to read. Why not just text?

I don't often read hackernews for Lamucal AI spams but when I do, it's always nice.
