occasionally we're reminded that other countries format their phone numbers differently and it's just a few moments of ???????? while we ponder how odd it is that arbitrary things can be taken for granted to such an extent that a different arbitrary thing can feel "wrong"

effteen sounds like a place name, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sign saying "exit whatever, efton"

You get similar problems with twenty-ay and twenty-eight, but at least the t makes them a little different

how do you pronounce hexadecimal numbers between 0x19 and 0x20? would it be ayteen, beeteen, ceeteen, deeteen, eeteen, and effteen? The only problem with that is that ayteen and eighteen sound identical.

truly excellent writing.

Rask is a good name, hm

this is not a good way of arranging data

I really should do a vgm selection on this sometime

there are fascinating things about this piece both from a musical and a technical standpoint--if you just go by its published specifications the SID (the C64's sound chip) wouldn't be able to play this at all, lots of it was made using an actual hardware bug

(this is the Tetris music for the commodore 64 version of Tetris, by the way. It's not Korobeiniki and it's fantastic. Not earworm-y, but legitimately good music.)

I hear people talking about tetris

is it just me, or is it really weird that virginia was, instead of being named after a person, named after the fact that a particular person had never had sex?

people are talking about nintendo direct and we never actually watch those because of reasons and I just keep seeing people say things like "mario maker" and "dragon quest" and even just "oh this looks cool" with no context whatsoever
