#myfirstgamewas Dr. Mario, on my parents' half-broken NES. Sometimes Mario threw viruses into the bottle instead of pills... >.>;;;
On the Edge team, we had a *whole team* dedicated to finding compat bugs, reducing them, and reaching out to site owners with fixes. Sometimes we would reach out to a site owner and they'd say, "Sorry, you don't have enough market share for us to bother fixing this bug."
This is where we get -webkit prefixed CSS in the standard, as well as de-facto standards and "works best in Chrome." This is why both Opera and Edge switched to Chromium.
If you really want to help Firefox succeed, file a bug on https://webcompat.com/ when you find a broken website. Don't just switch back to Chrome; let Mozilla know there's a problem so they can try to fix it.
When browsers lose market share, they fall into the "compatibility death spiral." Sites don't bother to test, they break, and users flee to the browser that "just works." Mozilla is fighting this battle every day, and it just got harder.
Itadaki Street 2 tidbit:
The Maharaja (bonus AI character who pays you if he lands on your shop) has his starting cash set to 0x7FFF7FFF (2,147,450,879 G). The game never deducts any of what he pays from his cash total, though, so he effectively has infinite cash. .w.
Some trans people are men. Some are women. Some are neither.
Some trans people have known since they were kids. Some figured it out in their 80s.
Some trans people have been on hormone replacement therapy for years. Some can't get on HRT. Some don't want to be on HRT.
Some trans people try to "pass". Some don't.
Some trans people have had surgery. Some don't want surgery. Some can't get surgery.
All trans people are valid, regardless of any of the above.
the pansexual equivalent of "gold star lesbian" is having sex with at least one person of every single existing gender
it has been postulated that this feat is theoretically impossible, and this was proven in 1972 by a team of mathematicians who all later were awarded the field's medal for their work
okay, after FINALLY getting this code to work, after several hours' worth of debugging, and finding out that the original game's code makes an assumption that doesn't hold anymore with how my code works...
I can finally, finally insert new venture card text.
While translating venture card-related text, I found a debugging feature left in the game ^w^

I have basically no self-esteem whatsoever, and feel awkward and anxious asking to work on something with anybody else, so ... having something that I can contribute to and feel confident that I can do is something I don't think I could let go of right now...
I ... don't really feel comfortable backing off or dropping it, though? I worry that I'd end up feeling guilty about not doing enough and letting down everybody who has been working on it with me, and also just wouldn't know what else I should be doing...
Poly trans cuddlefloof programmer and gamedev(?). I love poking around in and reverse engineering old games. I'm also super shy and have horrible anxiety, so ... please be nice...
I don't mind if you follow request, but if I don't know or recognize you, please send me a message so I know who you are. #nobot
