Onomatopoeia

I do think it's target audience was kids. I had a younger family member (about 12) introduce me to it at the time. I got a kick out of the gameplay and styles. It was sort of a spoof of a 90's video game (name I can't recall) with a common theme then - sort of over-the-top, "we're both in on the joke" kind of thing.

I'm sure they will. It's always a cat-and-mouse game.

It's been a while since I read about DRM, but what I recall the challenge is not being able to control end-to-end, which is what really drives trusted boot efforts in both Android and Windows.

If you don't control the hardware and OS, then someone can use it to sidestep DRM.

Oh, I get what they're doing, but I resent their approach.

So many just introduced the subscription to sucker the naive.

I don't mind paying for software. So let me pay for a major version, and if I want a major update, that costs too. I have so much software where a given version works just fine (FolderSync for example, and Office 2016),that I see no need to upgrade.

Wow, I'm surprised it's being reproduced. Very cool.

Which is really how things are launched anyway, right?

Keep posting them! They're all interesting.

Thanks for this, I was unfamiliar with it.

Such 60's/70's architecture, looks like something out of Logan's Run (which used some buildings in Dallas, TX, for some shots IIRC).

Which is what's so "magical" about it - Newtonian rules seem to break down at the quantum level.

It was an incredible discovery, and for practically anyone not a physicist, it's incredibly hard to comprehend. I say this as a not-a-physicist who struggled to comprehend it decades ago, and read several books on the subject to finally get my head around it (as much as a non-physicist can).

Also, it's just a meme mate.

It was about being fun, not to be a serious game, so approach it that way. It has a bit of silliness.

Remember it came out around the time the Austin Powers movies were a big hit.

Well, gee, thanks for the rabbit hole!

Glue is fine, if it's the right kind.

IIRC, the ceramic tiles were glued onto the Space Shuttle, and during re-entry it was exceeding Mach 12.

I've used structural adhesives that were stronger than the metal they held together, during stress tests the metal ripped before the adhesive failed. I believe Lotus was using adhesives on cars in the 80's, maybe 90's, because welding was problematic.

Mind, I'm not defending the monstrosity here, just clearly they chose the wrong adhesive.
