given that the 2.5" form factor was designed around fitting hard disk platters in it, I wonder just how much space inside 2.5" ssds is empty

since ssds of the same capacity can fit in the much smaller m.2 form factor, I wonder if they use the same flash chips or if they use cheaper ones that take up more space

so far this is about the spread I expected, though I wasn't really expecting a vote for espeon (i agree that espeon's shiny isn't as bad as a lot of people seem to think though)

*pokemon gen 3 menu bleeps*

imagine if competitive pokemon battles allowed items

the stall strategy would be unbeatable, and everything would end in a tie always

it occurs to me that at least one pokemon has a name that's just straight-up an english word entirely unrelated to the pokemon: slaking

Interesting statistics thing: as n increases, the chance of a 1-in-n chance failing n times in a row tends towards 1/e, which is more than 30%, and a far cry from the 0% that a lot of people seem to think it is

*pixellates*

I already know how at least one person is going to vote on this, if she does

"the lesbian Lesbian poet Sappho"

what's the demonym for someone from Lesbos anyway? "lesbian" is kind of taken

i forgot we had this drawing thing on here

"because we're out of the bounds of the demo, you're going to start seeing bosses that have moves that seemingly do nothing, and that's because they actually do do nothing"

this is also a speedrun of a demo version of an obscure rpg so there's the occasional "I'd explain why this trick works, but we just have no idea"

watching a speedrun where the commentator says that softlocks are more common than dying to random encounters

that's kind of interesting

(the game being run is specifically the demo version of wild arms, which actually contains a beta version of the full game and you can actually get to and beat the final boss if you skip the part where the demo's meant to end with a glitch. it's very unfinished and so crashes and softlocks aren't unexpected)

I always appreciate it, when watching speedruns, when someone says "the only thing that could possibly be a problem here is if this very specific sequence of things happens, and that's really unlikely", and then just watch the look on their face as that very specific sequence of unlikely things unfolds
