frustum is a delightfully strange word.

kinda want to make a breadboard computer but that's really expensive and we don't have room for it

marxaroni and cheese

there is literally no situation in which the word "utilize" is better to use than the word "use"; they mean exactly the same thing and the former just makes you sound pretentious

...I guess if you want to sound pretentious it would be better to use "utilize" then, huh

apparently something about pride flags happened while we were grading stuff?? what happened

random thought: is there any way to get windows 10 to be more aggressive when it comes to memory compression?

when playing minecraft we run up very close to running out of memory and would really like a way to avoid that without having to upgrade our RAM since that's expensive

just realized that all the fire emblem characters with the critical hit final smash do a multiple of 3 damage for hitting said final smash

I like this little touch

in the fire emblem games, a critical hit does exactly three times what it would normally do, which is always an integer, so the critical damage is always a multiple of 3

idea: want to get a picture of a genderfluid or polygender character (Aditi perhaps?) presenting as different genders and combinations thereof, and just generally being GNC

Reading about sorting algorithms

Gravity sort feels like cheating. It achieves O(1) run time with O(n) space but it requires O(n) processors working in parallel to get those figures of merit

I appreciate that even among this competition, the game.com hasn't gotten a single vote

don't get me wrong, star fox is massively impressive for its time and is definitely a classic but

no one can say it has smooth visuals at *all*

we're one of those people who can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps and even we can tell that the framerate of star fox is abysmal

the super FX was an impressive chip but it was only just barely up to the task star fox set for it

the official nintendo blurb for star fox on the nintendo online snes thingy claims it has "smooth" gameplay

star fox runs at like twelve fps, the only thing with lower framerate is virtual hydlide

best video game console

seems like he was a pretty mixed influence on the country at the time though, he was involved in replacing the opium-based agriculture in parts of the country with cotton farming, which i don't think anyone can say is a bad thing, but he was also involved in quelling peasant uprisings by force so not exactly a paragon

just looked up who exactly general tso was, wondering if general tso's chicken was actually related to them or not

turns out not, as expected--it was named in honor of a Chinese statesman and general who'd been dead for almost a century

wonder if he would have liked the dish or not
