you've found one thats edible?

please share... 

brand?

It's been a hella long time since I've had one, but my parents used to buy ones from holland and barrett. Not sure if you guys have them over there, but you're probably got some equivalent.

yea i tried a veggie dog once when i went thru this vegetarian phase (which was dumb because i mainly eat a vegetarian diet i just like things like bacon, hot doges and salami... so i tortured myself by not eating those meats..) it did not taste good at all.. neither did veggie burgers..

Veggie burgers are the shit, man what are you on?

I imagine that they may not taste as good if you were expecting them to taste like a meet burger, but as someone ho's never eaten a meet burger, I think they taste pretty nice.

My friends are hella horrified by the idea of veggie baccon

You're really sort of stuck with the name. We generally don't change people's names, and you're not really supposed to have multiple accounts either. If we did this "only for you" then the next person will ask why they can't have a name change when the first person got one. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure that you changed somebody else's name, not naming them, but it was kinda recent.

then they aren't as hardcore/ complainy as me, and aren't as important obvs.

I do see your point, I have friends who'd much rather download jnes and a rom of super mario, and play it on their £1000 gaming PCs then pick up an NES from a carboot sale. Obviously, it's way more convenient for most people, but yeah.

I still can't for the life of me understand why my mate would rather play pokemon sapphire on his android, than find the copy of it that I lent him a year or so ago, and play it on his DS.

iirc LPGT is on raspi, but I never got it on mine. I should probably use it more.

You are speaking from the position of a gamer, not of someone who is interested in the artistic and programmatic aesthetics of the platform.  If you eliminate some limits, why not others? I could simply play sonic games rendered in the unity3d engine, cause its "better".

Not really, I'm primarily a gamer, and I much prefer playing on the intended console, for lack of a better phrase, it feels more leggit

The feels I have are not of guilt, but of nostalgia. There is nothing more authentic than playing your childhood games on console, with a controller, In front of a TV. Yes, argue that you can map a USB game pad and hook up a video output to your TV from PC, but you are still only digitally emulating the sounds and playing with non-authentic parameters such as aspect ratio, scanlines, static and everything else that the subconscious maps memories to. I dont know about you, but I hold on to sound more than visuals.

alternatively, you could play them on the real console, not this one.
I'm not badmouthing it or anything, but I'm one of those fussy people who doesn't really use emulators, and much prefers the original hardware. Granted, this may be impossible in some cases, due to a number of reasons, but something like this would be a last resort for someone like me. If I have to play a game not on the hardware, I'll only emulate it on a console of the same company, e.g. emulating a SNES on a DS, or a PS1 on a PS3/P or whatever. This would feel really fake to me while playing it, I'd just know that it wasn't on the hardware it was made for, the same way that I never played that far into earthbound because I had it on an emulator on my Wii. Also, you're missing out on the quirks of the original console anyway, such as my megadrive displaying video slightly weirdly.

tl;dr I don't like it, but I hope you enjoy it if you get one

While we're talking about giving less of a shit, maybe you should refrain from -- seemingly out of frustration at your total lack of actual arguments -- randomly joining discussions just to tell people to give less shit about the matter of hand.

I'm sure Wizwars assumed that the person who he concluded to be a Swede lived in one of the tiny minority of countries where the Berne convention isn't applicable.

I feel like there's a cross-eyed mob gathering to throw rotten tomatoes at me for matter-of-factly pointing something out to Wizwars.

I like it when people assume things about me. No, the actual reason that I posted was that you seemed to be way to involved (in my opinion) in repeating a point, that wasn't the point to be precise. I also think that both of us were quite aggressive, and I wish that I hadn't posted what I did, the way I did, I apologise for that.

In many countries a copyright - which, you're right, is an inherent property of a work - must be registered with a legal body in order to be defensible under the law. A piece a music that you write is your copyright and does not need to be "copyrighted", simply by creating the work you own the copyright to it. However, in many countries without registering that copyright you cannot defend it in court and it is therefor pretty useless.

This is obviously what people mean when they use copyright as a verb, they mean to register a copyright.

Yes, I'm sure people who talk about "copyrighting" are referring to the practice of registering copyright that is required to make it defensible under law in some countries that didn't agree to the Berne convention.

HINT: They aren't.
