Metroid Prime full screen static effect texture would require too much memory and GameCube only had 24MB. solution?

Last night's dream contained a scene wherin I was calculating how many megatons were needed to blow up my childhood home but not the house next to it.

OK I think I re-added everyone I was following on dragon.style. Sorry! Also you'll need to re-follow me, it also knocked everyone's follows off.
I will of course be doing the "did I get everyone?" for a while, and also losing the notif history was aarg.
Oh well don't push buttons without doing research kids :P
Holy moly. This is gonna be a time sink of massive dimensions. Much of the Boston Public Library's vinyl collection digitized on archive.org
Lots of stuff you know and lots more you don't.

I was hoping for a more straight take and then I realized that's just fucking crypto :P

Not as good as the previous two, but possibly funnier? The gibberish sounds more deliberately comedic for this one instead of "could be industry terms, but really really isn't".
21st century encabulation!
