[00:02] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games says that a number of Scott Adams games are available to download at https://www.msadams.com/downloads.htm, but I don't see any in a format that ScummVM can use. Am I missing something? Perhaps the site changed.

[14:30] <grogbot> <Big Beef> maybe they included that in later chapters, but im on chapter 1 rn and i dont see that as an option
[14:42] <grogbot> <antoniou79> Then I'm not remembering it right. I loaded the first chapter on Steam and it seems that they do support two control schemes at the same time, on with the mouse and one with the arrow keys, but there's no pure "point and click" option

[16:35] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> iOS and and Android games are getting purged if they haven't been updated for 2 years or more. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/apple-and-googles-outdated-apps-ban-would-cut-each-store-by-a-third/
[16:36] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> I know that Humongous Entertainment games are on the stores and they look like they haven't been updated lately, so they would be affected.
[16:36] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> If you don't own them and you want them (for testing purposes or whatever), now is the time to buy.
[16:37] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Unless anybody is in contact with the rights owners and can convince them to upgrade to a newer version of ScummVM?
[16:37] <grogbot> <rootfather> Yeah, this is such a bad idea... And since the apps are still available after purchase proves that there's no real reason to remove them.
[16:38] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Definitely pros and cons, but that's the reality 🤷 B

[16:39] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Definitely pros and cons, but that's the reality. Google and Apple decided, we have to live with it. 🤷 B

[16:39] <Scummette> scummvm/master 953cf2c raziel-: MORPHOS: Fix c&p error
[16:39] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Here's an example of one > 2 years old that will likely be purged https://apps.apple.com/us/app/putt-putt-saves-the-zoo/id511499384
[16:41] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> I think the big reason from Apple & Google's perspective is to force devs to disclose their privacy practices.
[16:41] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/976162438821056512/unknown.png
[16:42] <grogbot> <rootfather> Right, makes sense
[16:43] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> Maybe some Twitter-inclined people can tweet https://twitter.com/HumongousEnt and ask them to update their apps?
[16:55] <grogbot> <Thunderforge> For what it's worth, if the "automated build process" GSoC idea gets implemented, that would make it trivial for IP owners to create new iOS and Android versions of their games. https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2022#Automated_system_for_packaging_freeware_games_with_ScummVM
[17:00] <grogbot> <jakejakejake1234> Hey everyone, just thought Id let you all know that David Fox who has worked on many classic Lucasarts games has just been interviewed on the Conversations of Curtis youtube channel. This channel is hosted by Paul Morgan Stetler the actor who played the lead role in the Sierra game Phantasmagoria 2 and he has interviewed several people that worked at Sierra, so if you guys are also Sierra fans check it out.

[21:50] <grogbot> <antoniou79> which system / toolchain wouldn't support it? I can find discussions on Stack Overflow mentioning this possibly being an issue with very old preprocessor but practically not an issue any more (and for a long time) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/789073/indenting-defines https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1854550/c-macro-define-indentation
