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...

Here's a neat tidbit we found last night:
Each course in Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat (Arcade) has artist credits somewhere on it! Most of these are signed by "SH" (Steve High, credited for Software & Graphics), but a few have other initials on them, including one course which has a completely different style and signature.
I've put up an imgur gallery with all 14 courses and which are signed by which artist here! https://imgur.com/a/xNErJIJ
I wonder, should I bother making a Patreon page? I don't really have any idea what kind of rewards I could offer, and I doubt anybody would pledge except, like, my own partners/roommates... but I would kind of like some way of making money, and job stuff is hard...
Spent all evening looking into why the sprite corruption happens, and... turns out it's possibly caused by an emulator bug! ^^; On actual hardware, sprites are disabled for that frame, so no sprites are shown at all.
A weird bug in Super Off-Road for NES:
For one frame, when you touch the finish line on the final lap, sprite memory is overwritten with garbage. No idea why!

Today I made: gloopy pasta with leftover chicken! (or, Raspberry throws a bunch of things in a pot and sees how they turn out. ^.^;;)
It tastes much better than it probably looks!

finally do I have the proper way of looking at the fediverse 
also yes it's fully functional and I'm actually using it as my main interface right now

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...

@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
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.

There was a Neo-Geo AES system for sale at my local video game store today... *_*
It cost $300... *_*
I wish I had enough disposable cash for it... *_* I would love to own a Neo-Geo home system... *_*
I think what I miss most about university is having a large, quiet, well-stocked library I could relax and work at. There aren't enough quiet places that are open late, like uni buildings are for students...
programming, ~
I've seen so many programmers or CS graduates talking about weird things you can do that they seem so excited about, or particularly interesting obfuscated and esoteric code that they wrote, but I just see them like curiosities that probably won't be useful outside of some niche. Why write a strange obfuscated algorithm for something when you could have written it cleanly and neatly, but still have it work exactly like your obtuse code...?
programming, ~
I wonder if I even belong in a programming job...
I never really cared about programming for its own sake, or for any of the weird things you can do just for the sake of doing them. I just want to build interesting things, like fun games or useful applications...
I'm glad I documented what I was doing last here, because I hadn't marked down what needed changing anywhere else...
I'm exhausted today already, but I will try working on this later...
