tanuki are just furry elves

why is the UL Registered Component mark backwards

consider: and ​

roomba <-> goomba

so uh, why exactly are chargin' chucks classed as powerups in super mario world again?

occasionally we remember that in the Elder Scrolls universe, dwarves are steampunk elves

It seems like every JRPG has to have the one character who uses something completely absurd as a weapon

in Baten Kaitos it's Lyude's brass instruments, in Wild ARMS 2 it's Lilika's umbrellas, in Tales of Symphonia it's both Genis's kendama and Sheena's cards, in Final Fantasy IX it's Quina's forks, I can probably think of more too if I bothered to

Honorable mention to Xenoblade Chronicles, where your healer shoots people with her magic healing sniper rifle

for some reason the concept of an "assault trumpet" is incredibly amusing to me

was just wondering why there aren't any references to the shinespark in samus's smash appearances and then i realized wait her dash attack is literally the horizontal shinespark pose

*opens muzzle, emits super metroid item get fanfare*

"apparatus", "device", "mechanism"... all just fancy ways of saying "thingy"

why is there some program called wsappx on our computer using 1.5 gigabytes of ram

pong speedrun 100%

why does everythiing have to use so much ram

there is absolutely no reason discord, a simple chat program, should need almost half a gigabyte

also wondering: why on earth does minecraft end up using over 10 GB of RAM with this modpack even if I set it to -Xmx8G

There's a lot of conflicting information on the internet about this

If we have 16 GB (2x8) of RAM in our laptop and want to upgrade, *and* if we would be fine with 24 GB, would it be fine to replace one of the 8 GB SODIMMs with a 16 GB one? What do I need to watch out for? I'd try to find ones with the same timings and speed rating of course (though i'm not sure what the difference is between the various timings that cpu-z lists...)

I'm considering this because it's much easier to afford than upgrading all the way to 32 GB, replacing all the RAM the laptop came with. It only has two slots on the motherboard, as most laptops do, so unfortunately we can't just add a third 8 GB sodimm

...even if we can it's probably too expensive to do right now anyway

eevblog is a good youtube channel with interesting stuff about electronics but holy crap the fact that "tr*nny" is australian EE slang for transistor really grates sometimes
