The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?

++

I want to archive it

Chinese games require Government ID to play, so good luck on that one.

Doom was open sourced later. An example of a game that got reverse engineered just fine is Super Mario 64

Look at this repo, might prove useful: https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety

Math knowledge is not essential; but really useful in programming as you're trying to make the computer do calculations of some sort.

Someone could definitely be too dumb to code though.

Every fediverse site can interact with each other; so to ban interacting with lemmy.ml; you'll also need to ban the entire fediverse; not to mention the oncoming new fediverse capable sites. Pretty much a piracy hydra situation but each head can be linked to each other, with the exception that fediverse sites hosted on India might not be able to reach the sites banned on India.

If lemmy.ml gets banned, you can still follow communities there using another fediverse site like lemmy.world or mastodon.social.

Some servers do get down; but not the entire fediverse.

Download and Install Oracle VM VirtualBox from here

https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.12/VirtualBox-7.0.12-159484-Win.exe

Follow the steps here to create a Windows 98 Virtual Machine

https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0070.html

After that (assuming you have a CD/DVD Drive), you'll need to do VirtualBox's Machine > Settings > Storage > Enable Passthrough for the DVD drive; them just plug in the game disk.

I don't get the point of all these disposable email filters. It's not hard to buy a new domain and set up a wildcard email server.

Fun fact: EMPRESS introduced her fans here after being banned on Reddit; but later got banned here too.
