It's so weird, thinking about how I've brushed shoulders with people who are accomplished game designers, or programmers, or artists, or musicians, and when they inevitably ask "So, what do you do?" all I can squeak is

"... um... I reverse-engineer games? Sometimes? and I am working on reverse-engineering a moderately obscure Super Famicom board game video game and producing a translated English version of it?"

That means that, unless all dialogue in our translation takes less than 64 bytes, I'll be rewriting this function call, and possibly be looking for extra empty space in RAM I can use for a text buffer instead of where IS2 usually reads from. :S

Annoying, but doable...

Oh, bleh. A realization about character dialogue hit me...

There is a function used during character dialogue in-game that copies data from a temporary buffer into a particular location, which is read later when drawing character dialogue on-screen. This function only copies 64 bytes of data. (There might only even be 64 bytes of free space available in this location; I don't know for sure.)

Okay there is no way I'm doing this by hand. My wrists already hate me x.x

I'll ask @Xkeeper if they could do it for me instead with a PHP script or something...

I kind of wish I could get a drawing of my ... fursona? self-insert character? ... cuddling with my friends 💖

I finished enough yesterday on stream that I can get a (mostly) working ROM using this! ^w^

Next will be adding additional definitions for all ... 2200+ ... dialogue lines... x.x

(If I was actually a decent coder, I would automate this. I am not, so I am doing it by hand. This is a terrible idea.)

Doing a code soon on Twitch again, probably. Continuing from where I left off yesterday.

Honestly just having other people around while I'm coding helps me SO MUCH, it's kind of ridiculous ^^ I focus so much better when there are other people I feel comfortable with talking about what I'm doing.

I feel super accomplished after this morning's coding session... thank you everybody who watched ^^

I popped my stream on over at https://twitch.tv/raspberryfloof ... I'll be programming for a while, working on a patcher program for IS2, so adding new text or code patches is easier.

Good morning, everybody...

I'm tired. z.z

After two months of severe depression and no work on this project, I've finally gotten back working on the patcher.

I hate writing text parsers. x.x

Today... I want to give people hugs.

*hugs @Xkeeper, @KS@is.a.qute.dog, @typhlosion, @kobold, @revenant, @remmah, and @Rezulux* 💖💖💖

Thank you so much for supporting me, helping when I couldn't help myself, and being there when I needed a shoulder I could cry on...

There are other people who deserve hugs, too, but I have probably already forgotten everybody who has helped over the past few months. I'm sorry if I forgot you...

I'm sorry for making those cipherposts
