@chimericalgirls From what I read, this specific type of alert can't be disabled, even if other emergency alerts are... Is that not actually true?

@mazzlerazz@yiff.life Your stickers are super cute! ^w^ 💖

I always told myself growing up that if I expected I couldn't do something or that things would always go wrong, I would never be disappointed when they didn't go well, and be pleasantly surprised if they did...

though... now things have been bad for so long, and I'm so used to being treated badly, that .... any deviation feels surreal, like something that shouldn't have happened but did...

mh, ~+? 

Today feels incredibly strange, like things are just slightly wrong or off somehow...

I think it's because ... people have been being so nice to me, and I almost feel ... happy? It's a feeling that's really alien to me, after being in such terrible situations for years and years...

but... it's made me feel almost slightly dissociative, like I've been watching everything that's happened to me this weekend from somewhere else, instead of actually experiencing it myself...

@fenny@queer.af Would that be the best or worst Standard format ever?

@Raspberryfloof my favorite GBC tidbit was that the Klax developers had the original Amiga BASIC source but couldn't get their Z80 ASM rewrite of the game logic working quite right

so they built an Amiga BASIC interpreter for GBC and ran the game logic in that

society meta / profession levels (-) 

So it is either to pick up stuff at a young age or never do that.

That ultimately leads to stagnation. People just stop learning new things, because they are supposed to be brilliant at it, when starting out.

That also ultimately leads to stop learning at all.
"Why even try if you never get anything from it"

That ultimately leads to people being stuck in puberty forever, because they never learn to interact properly

The notion that you have to have a certain level of profession at a certain age is extremely toxic and just fosters a culture that never goes developing beyond a puberty stage.

If you learn new things, you are of course bad at them.
If you pick up painting with 30, you're not picasso at 30

You need to learn and train to become better, but if you're expected to be a pixasso at 30, there is no room for that.

@Yarideki There are at least two reasons I can think of:
Physical mask ROMs only came in fixed sizes, so unless you could manage to exactly fill up whichever size ROM you were using, there would always be some room left over; and
depending on how your code was written/compiled, you might want certain parts of your ROM to have fixed addresses for where they begin, either so you know code or graphics are always at certain places, or for working around any potential hardware quirks.

@thingywott Possibly!

And it wouldn't be the first time I've seen random data used for ROM padding; there's always the infamous case of DynaMike for GBC...

At some point I should add this to the TCRF page, along with better documentation of this game's debug mode. ^^

I love that the default Emacs scratch buffer text got into Mario Golf (GBC) somehow. I wonder if this was a mis-copy-and-paste from a developer, or if it was another case of a compiler taking random memory contents and using them for padding in the ROM...

The one thing I am most sad about on Masto is that sometimes there are amazing people on an instance that Awoo doesn't federate with, and I feel really sad when I see "This person is great" messages but have no idea who they are talking about because I can't see them...

But... Awoo's whitelist system does so much to keep awful instances or users away, and I wouldn't ever get rid of it.

tired: room escape game
