You title them ports or remakes - do these all require the original game asset files?

When I read remake, I thought they'd be independent games, inspired by or replicating the originals.

Is it mixed? That info would be helpful for a list and an overview. For most, I wouldn't have any assets.

The headline is a bit misleading. The authors give a range from 30-44%.

Their abstract mentions only 30%. That would mean the authors themselves are misleading in the abstract.

Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use

My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.

What is 80$ in 1991 worth today? calculateme says 190$ adjusted for inflation (in 2025).

What about the minimum wage? dol.gov says $4.25, or $10.08 adjusted for inflation. Since 2009 it's $7.25.

7.25/10.08 = 0,72 or 10.08/7.25 = ~1,40

80/60 = 1.33

So we have a decrease in minimum wage by 30%, but an increase of product price by 30%.

Is this correct? Does that make it 60% more expensive than his personal analogy from 1991?

Man, the two-sided percent reference point is confusing.

This may be the next big sabotage of society.

Algo-driven unregulated social media pushed negative views, division, misinformation, while opening the platforms to manipulative content producers and connecting positive as well as negative influences (like finding communities of extremism).

If unregulated AI interfaces get pushed to people, they will not critically verify, but be confirmed in their own and the AIs biases, without any obvious indicators that this is happening.

Good thing we see some kinds of positive regulation. Like them pulling this model, interfaces adding disclosures of AI and uncertainty, and regulation by law.

Both are valid considerations, but I find the large shift to time spent on social media apps a much more compelling argument.

Indie games are part of the industry too, so I don't think they'd be losses in accumulated industry revenue. The small and niche indies probably don't have much of an impact on the market as a whole.

I also think the big titles largely marketed towards the general people and casual gamer. And I have to assume that still works the same way. They buy the popular marketed title, or on their console digital store. They don't care as much about classics or indies [outside of the store's popular titles].

You could say "batteries included… in the article"

I don't see how that defies Trump. Trump is and was not part of negotiations or deals between these parties.

In the new study, the vast majority of the microplastics were concentrated on the root caps of the plants, a protective structure on the tip of the plant’s roots. A smaller amount was observed in the roots themselves, and even less was found in the stem. No plastic was detected in the leaves.

Notably, removal by binding them, not dissolving them.

I don't get why you would then suggest farming the leaves only. The microplastics are still in the environment then.

Especially the burning example, wouldn't collecting the whole plant and burning the roots too remove the microplastics from the environment instead of only binding them?

uBlock Origin still functions the same. I doubt it'll die in the foreseeable future because there's interest in it, and moreso than in NoScript (my assumption anyway).

The uBlock Origin introduced https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home to cover the manifest v3. It's a separate software. The original uBlock Origin remains functional like before.

Regarding the earlier point, this lite FAQ entry sounds to me like the main author is more committed to origin than lite.
