kas got me thinking about wintery music and while this is unusually active for wintry music it definitely has a frozen-landscape feel to it

maybe just from associations in the game though

when did computers settle on the "tower" form factor? i know that even into the 90s there were computers that lay flat and that you'd put the monitor on top of the computer (cases were designed to be able to hold the heavy weight of a CRT monitor, too); when did they start being primarily upright?

*takes a bite out of the concept of gender*

I want to see more games in the colosseum/xd series

​ is cute in general. adorable little spiky fluffball

random little touch that I appreciate: In the first battle of pokemon colosseum, when just one of the zigzagoon remains, when it runs back to position after taking damage it runs right between its trainer's legs

it's kinda cute

​

it makes me really stressed when two of our friends get upset at each other, oof

what is "mambo no 5" anyway? obviously a piece of music but why is it a meme suddenly

ketchup is probably the boringest condiment short of mayonnaise

"microcomputer" would be a great word for things like the raspberry pi or beaglebone, but it's already taken by regular size computers (because at the time the term microcomputer was made, a minicomputer was the size of a desk, and at the time the term minicomputer was made a computer was the size of a room)

squirrels!

since it's not really doing anything at the moment i imagine 300 mhz is its minimum frequency (modern cpus and gpus are what's called dynamic processors, where they need a minimum clock frequency to avoid glitches caused by capacitors leaking--similar to how dram works. it's far cheaper than static processors, just like how dram is far cheaper than sram)

always feels weird to us that gpus are clocked so much lower than cpus in normal operation

like, our cpu has a nominal clock of 2.9 ghz and is currently running at close to 4 ghz factory overclock, while our gpu is running at 300 mhz

but it's doing massively parallel operations so each clock cycle can mean thousands of computations

today's mood is... weird. not the good kind, but not bad enough to say bad

this is a horrible idea

consider: alttp randomizer but all the pendants and crystals are shuffled in with the rest of the items
