you know what would be great? a database of images that would make good 3DS home screen icons for various games that were never released on virtual console (since it's easy to make a virtual console game out of a rom and install it on a hacked 3ds)
-F

this works for TwilightMenu++ too (and any DS games started through TM++ will then be in their original resolution), as well as VC injected games made with NSUI
-F/R

I don't know why this doesn't seem to have ever been explained by nintendo
-F

occasional reminder: if you have a 2DS/3DS and play DS games or virtual console games on it, if you hold either start or select (both work) while starting up the game, it'll play it in its original resolution instead of scaling up to the larger screen

if you put a slice of brioche in the toaster, would it count as french toast?

Particularly amusing word replacement: set -> ant

"in ant theory, the empty ant is the ant that contains no elements."

there was some kind of blockchain question in the "hot network questions" section on stackexchange and we clicked it out of morbid curiosity

it's a really, really weird place

the highest voted answer was someone saying in a really stilted professional-email sort of register (not the sort of thing you see from someone learning the language, the sort of thing you see from someone who has never talked in an informal register in their life) "hi, thanks for asking, my name is X, i'm the creator of Y, a thing that does what you're asking about" and then proceeds to just shill Y

several other--highly rated!--answers are other people shilling Y and other things

when we do stuff on stackexchange it's usually on the electrical engineering one for obvious reasons and over there, anyone shilling anything as an answer gets their answer deleted in very short order

Where did the "X 2 electric boogaloo" meme come from anyway

the first thing we saw it in was a pokemon kid's book or something along those lines? is that where it came from??

@Facet oh goodness and then the credits finished pretty much synced with the music finishing, and the next track was the zelda 1 "you got a piece of the triforce" fanfare, just as the end screen came up
-F

we watched @Facet play a link's awakening randomizer today, with the game music turned off as she played her own playlist of video game music

literally as the wind fish was fading in after beating the final boss, *her playlist started playing the final boss music from link's awakening*

little bit late there!!!

the internet loves frog chair, but have they considered frog trash can?

Circulators are some Deep Magic.

I guess we can understand why--a charge pump would generate less noise than a conventional switching regulator, lessening the need to keep a strictly known clock frequency, and they're not usually used for high loads (and lower load also means lower noise due to lower currents involved)

but the thing we're doing for work right now has a requirement that they all be synchronized, and the requirement comes from the sponsor, not anyone we know or can interact with directly
-F

would be nice if there were charge pump controllers that could be synchronized to an external clock, but it doesn't look like they exist.
-F/R

we skipped virtual boy here, that was intentional
-F

idea: video game series that goes backward a console generation with each new release

so if the first game comes out on switch, the second would be on wii u, the third on wii, fourth on gamecube, fifth on n64, sixth on snes, and seventh on nes (which would have to be the last entry)

how do fast food hamburgers manage to always smell so good and taste so.... fast food
-F

they're still useful because they're better than silicon mosfets in terms of having both high blocking voltage and high current capacity

now we have SiC mosfets that can replace IGBTs in most if not all applications, but they're still much more expensive and it's still a developing technology, they only became commercially viable about five to ten years ago
