That's yourFirst, I don't hack. I don't see how this is relevant at all to my observations of the community... I've been hanging out here for over a year, I've seen the same things in other contexts for other games... I don't need to actually fucking hack to know things about the hacking community. Knowledge of ASM does not teach you a damn thing about sociology or economics... as your existence obviously proves. The fact that I don't hack has little bearing on my observations. You can argue that I'm disconnected from the community or whatever, but.. I don't believe that's true. And it's certainly not a substitute for any kind of real counterargument.

In closing, I think I'll take some time later to make some fun MS Paint graphs of my points. Maybe a little economics lesson for you all too. Stay tuned.


are you kidding? how is it not relevant, it's the very subject about which we are talking . Cool, you've been hanging out on a board for a year. Once again may i state that this board is anything but a true representation of the community. There was a time when it wasn't this way, but as of now this is a Board first, and a Romhacking site second.

You're right, my learning ASM doesn't teach me anything about Economics or Sociology... however my Economics, Sociology, Psychology, and AP Psychology classes sure as fuck did.

more MS Paint fun? Cool, i've got a new one too:

That's your subjective answer. Other people will have different answers. Some may even be different than yours, God forbid.


Fact of the matter is, time and effort are a fundamental requirement to make a good hack. Whether Hacker Foobar wants to put any time or effort into a hack is beside the point. Wants and needs are relatively different things. As Disch has pointed out many times thus far, a hacker needs the drive to put time and effort into a hack. If you can't cut it, you'll either end up with a partially completed hack, or nothing at all.

To elaborate: a good hack will always be worth the time and effort. It won't matter if a few solid years were spent on it, or just a single afternoon; it's worth it. Why is it worth it? Because the result will be a good hack, and everyone gets to play it!
Now, putting a lot of time and effort into a bad hack, that's just a disaster. No, it's certainly not worth putting time or effort into a bad hack.


And to hell with the economical nonsense. I'm a quality-over-quantity kind of guy. A single good hack (or "excellent" as Daiz pointed out) will always be better for the community than a billion bad hacks, or a single bad hack for that matter. The positive side-effects will ALWAYS cancel and outweigh the negative. So I can't imagine why there is a problem with any "uber-hack created without any all-in-one-uber-tools" ?
