kasran, fourier transfemme @typhlosion@awoo.space

I am $453 in debt due to money transferring improperly through my Paypal. I've been trying to help @Zenith become homed and stable, and though I had the money in my bank at the time of the transfer, I did not have it when Paypal attempted to take it out of my account. Any and all assistance clearing this debt would be appreciated.

Give a man a fish, and Republicans immediately blame you for inflation. Teach a man to fish, and they call you a woke Marxist and pass a law banning Fishing Studies.

Incidentally, another trick to finding the length of a vector (x,y) to within 12% is just:

if ( x > y )
return x+(y>>1);
else
return y+(x>>1);

(do you really need more than 12% precision in a 16-bit game?)

Neat thing I discovered. If you have a sprite with 5 directions of animation - from going right to going down (make the rest by flips), you can figure out which sprite to use by testing against lines of slope 1:5, 2:3, 3:2 and 5:1, which is really elegant on an 8/16bit machine.

no one has ever surpassed the animated netscape logo's ability to make the internet feel majestic and awe inspiring

No matter how many times an enthusiastic tech bro tells me that widespread AI use will be a positive for humanity, all I can hear is "capitalism go brrrr, income inequality go brrrr, structural inequities go brrr". It's strange how this happens every time. Must be something wrong with my hearing.

Did you know: nowadays you can actually run copies of games on any slimline PS2, even completely unmodded ones, without doing any sort of modifications to your console!

All you need is:
- A game/software ISO of your choice
- This patching tool: https://github.com/edo9300/esr-disc-patcher-cli (compiles cross-platform)
- This archive: https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9737 (contains data files and an example batch script on how to use the tool, plus a pre-built binary of unknown legitimacy)
- A *slimline* PS2

This lets you basically 'prefix' any existing ISO with the FreeDVDBoot exploit (explained here: https://cturt.github.io/freedvdboot.html), and so after burning it to DVD, any unmodded console boots straight into the game/software via a DVD player exploit.
