The linked wiki focuses on a new user agreement from January 2025. A link to the referenced article might have been more appropriate:

As far as I can tell, this new user agreement only applies to Germany, at least for now.

It's not a Mega Drive-"Style" shoot-em-up, it is a Mega Drive shoot-em-up. 100% Mega Drive code, with a physical cartridge release planned for later this year. It runs on other platforms via emulation.

It sounds like a problem related to memory interleaving. He doesn't say whether the memory modules are identical, my bet is that they differ. Could also be a poor performing motherboard.

Try thinking of it in the sense of "airdrop", which is not a new usage of the word "drop".

I feel like I heard it used in that way since at least the '90s.

It’s a natural extension of the older term. “A [whatever] dropped right in front of me” conveys the original and new meanings just fine.

“A [whatever] was dropped in Japan. Where is [whatever]?”

“In Japan, for one.”

I thought it was from some music subculture. I first encountered it in the context of albums, around the early or mid 2010s.

I think it’s kinda lame in its escaped-containment form, and am surprised it’s been one of those things that stuck around as long as it has, but would place it low on my list of language gripes, personally.

Didn't Nintendo sue Atari/Tengen a couple of times?

A couple of details missing from the article:

- Intel quietly introduced their implementation of amd64 under the name "EM64T". It was only later that they used the name "Intel64".

- Early Itanium processors included hardware features, microcode and software that implemented an IA‑32 Execution Layer (dynamic binary translation plus microcode assists) to run 32‑bit x86 code; while the EL often ran faster than direct software emulation, it typically lagged native x86 performance and could be worse than highly‑optimised emulators for some workloads or early processor steppings.

EL was considered so bad, either Microsoft or HP speed ran an emulator implementation of their own which enabled HP-designed Itanium 2 to lack it.

The N64 had the 64DD/Randnet in Japan which included a modem and web browser.

I seem to remember that "runderwo" was working on porting Linux to the N64 back in the "Dextrose" days, when the N64 scene was still active. I can't find much information on his port, but I did find a reference to it here: http://n64.icequake.net/#projects
