Vendetta on a dead badger!

Since we all know that Linux can be installed on a dead badger...

And now an operating system can be written to and read from DNA...

The only logical next step is to release a port of Vendetta that will run natively on a badger! If the badger is alive while playing, I think we can count this as a VR implementation.

One question, Savet...

Where would I plug in a keyboard?

A badger has several ports, but I would just go VR.

We do not have badgers in Australia. Will a wombat or similar marsupial suffice? If so, given the large amount of snakes native to Aus, is the warning regarding catchy techno music applicable to marsupials?

Faille, the first link provides this:

Other animals of family Mustelidae can be used in place of a badger, but an adapter may be required. See Appendix II for details.

Most marsupials work, but you have to compile the pouch drivers from source since they're out of tree.

The only true next step is to be able to download and run VO natively,. native. In the human genome.

Then finally we will have achieved the highest form of evolutionary trajectory.

Then we can shitpost and be space in our dreams.
