On the code side of things: OpenRA is C#, and the original is C++

It's not so much that they're different languages, but more that they're different code structures. OpenRA will be object oriented, while the original will be more imperative.

You can think of it like trying to fit a gearbox from a Honda into a Toyota (I know nothing about cars so please take this metaphorr with a massive grain of salt)

They might do the same thing, but they'll do it in completely different ways. You couldn't just copy and paste things directly, but you can still absolutely learn from it...

which is why I'm kinda sad Tiberian Sun isn't on the list. I'm dying for the OpenRA version, and I'd bet having the original source would speed things up

eta: I also see assembly files in there, so I don't know that the original is actually cpp. Those might just be generated off the assembly files, IDK. Everything else I've said still applies though

eta2: Nah, it's definitely cpp. there's a few assembly files, but mostly cpp.

Does anyone know where to go to get an idea of the state of the Tiberian Sun mod? I had a look at the github, but short of downloading it and trying it, it's not very clear how far along they are

So at the very least a spammer, but what's the grift?

"internet parents" is wholly unsearchable without some kind of proximity syntax.

If anybody is looking for a side project, build something that allows you to use advanced search syntax to search the fediverse. Please?

No, you've gone too far in the other direction now. The protests can work. Your other comments show that you seem to think it has to be all or nothing, but Just because it's not bankrupting Bezos in one fell swoop, doesn't mean it's pointless. If we even make a dent in their metrics, they'll notice.

My issue here is that everyone seems to be misinterpreting me as whining about not wanting to participate because I'm gonna miss my show. When what I actually said, in effect, was "Damn, I'm gonna miss my show. Oh well."

The fuck is wrong with the threadiverse today, gods damn!

No, you come on. You're are misrepresenting what I actually said. If you actually read my post, you'll see that I plan to participate in the boycott regardless. I made a throwaway comment about how it would be "mildly inconvenient" that I'd miss the opening, but also that I would do it regardless.

So what, I'm not even allowed to acknowledge that Prime has stuff I'm interested in? I have to boycott it, and deny that it holds any value whatsoever?

That's bullshit. It's entirely possible to both acknowledge that there are decent Amazon produced shows AND think that the company is evil as fuck and want to boycott them.

Oh please, that's not even close to what I said. I just don't want them to cancel a show I like and you're all acting like I'm swinging from Bezos' dick. You're all rabid.

The thing is, I really don't want them to cancel it. I've been signing up for it and then cancelling my subscription when it's finished, and then pirating it anyway. I just want them to see it as valuable, so they don't try to squeeze 14 books worth of content into one shitty finale because it's not making them money.
