Bleh, apparently Twitter has completely changed its layout and now web twitter looks exactly like mobile twitter x.x;;;

what if reality is both dream and wakingness at once,

and choosing to live within one or the other is what makes the one real and the other not?

There are two cuties snuggling in the car behind me ^w^

@KS@is.a.qute.dog and @revenant are super adorable together 💖

I can't wait to talk about these bugs I've been looking into in Itadaki Street 2, because some of them are very silly... Just have to find enough focus and mental energy that I can finish writing a post about them... .w.;;;

Spent a day or two this week figuring out what the Japanese bugfix hack for Itadaki Street 2 changed. Turns out there were some really obscure but very strange bugs in the game... .w.;;;

Oof, I found at least four bugs in IS2 last night. One of them is a softlock present in the original game... .w.;;;

nsfw language, math 

Just as the phrase "what the entire fuck" implies the existence of fractional fucks, the phrase "what the absolute fuck" implies the existence of both positive and negative fucks (or else there would be no need for an absolute value operation). Taken together with the phrase "what the actual fuck" (which implies the existence of imaginary fucks), we may thus conclude that fuckery is isomorphic with the complex field.

In today's "why is this code making the game crash" adventures, spot the bug:

stack.push(tile_ID);
stack.push(tilemap_index);
stack.push(bank_number);
... // Run code here
stack.pull(tile_ID);
stack.pull(tilemap_index);
stack.pull(bank_number);
return;

... It's doing things in the same order! How can this code be broken...? ^^;;;;;

(I have since fixed this bug. ^.^)

new Patreon post / advertisement 

Hi I guess I have a Patreon now???

It's at patreon.com/raspberryfloof, and I'll put things like Ita2 updates there early before I post them anywhere else, along with music or any other things I make o.o

I don't have anything up yet but I'll do a writeup of some interesting things I've been running into while working on Ita2 the past few weeks by tomorrow! and I know it's the end of the month so it's totally okay if you wait until after January 1 so you don't get charged for one day of posts o.o

silly, tf-related I guess 

<me> I wish I knew why my skin has been so dry and scaly lately...

<me, 2 seconds later> obviously, I must be being unwittingly TFed into a dragon...

Another Ita2 tidbit:

There's a bit of unreferenced text near one routine that handles venture cards #61 and #62, which give stock dividends of 10%/20% normally. At first glance, though, this text seems like it would just print garbage tiles on screen...

It turns out this extra text is old enough that it expects a lowercase English font, which isn't in the final game anymore... and it also suggests you originally got paid a flat amount per stock share you owned instead!

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 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.

weh... I wish I could draw anything better than stick figures .w.;;;

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.
