VEGANVANIA: DELETE THE MEAT

You know how programmers constantly complain that they're talented, hardworking people who just can't get paid to do the creative work of their dreams, and THEREFORE ask you for donations so they can pursue some kind of "dream project"? Yeah, cancel that: computer programmers get paid REALLY WELL to do jobs that are REALLY BORING… and so it's very difficult to get them to spare a little time to do something on the side for free…

LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, making minor changes in the code for a classic video game so that the "power ups" are broccoli instead of roast beef or a turkey dinner.

Oh, come on, even if you're not vegan, it's crossed your mind at some point! Isn't it fundamentally absurd that in SO MANY VIDEO GAMES making contact with a piece of meat "regenerates" your body (curing all manner of wounds, magically)… and that breaking a brick in the wall reveals a steaming turkey dinner, or a dripping beef roast, etc.

Yeah, if you're vegan, it's KIND OF an ethical issue, and it's KIND OF an ecological issue, but even if you're not vegan and you think it's KIND OF a joke, romhacking classic games to DELETE THE MEAT is a charitable cause that will never get old.

No, I'm not joking: five years from now, ten years from now, etc. THIS WILL STILL BE FUNNY… SO JUST DO IT! Support our absurd efforts to replace graphical tiles in classic games… beginning, presumably, with the veganization of Castlevania… thus our cause is called "VEGANVANIA".
