oh, and that reminds me, someone brought up contact info before, so: I'm not comfortable sharing my or an emergency contact's phone number, but one advantage of a username like this is that I can use it literally anywhere. so try that on your favorite chat app or social site or email provider.

…and now I'm imagining a sci-fi future where they have to maintain a tz database-like record of who blew up which stars when.

I complain about e.g. Star Trek having magic clocks ("chronometers") that can tell what time it is after you've time traveled. But actually, as long as you know the position of nearby stars, as well as their position and trajectory/orbit at a known point in time, you could get a pretty good estimate. That is assuming no catastrophic events have taken place since.

huh, the TV I'm watching SGDQ on is 1080i, and mostly I can't tell the difference from 1080p, but when Megaman starts blinking at 60Hz he actually just turns striped instead

It *was* a good throw.

oh I guess it is 15-bit color so that's probably enough to just do palette shifting

or is it just really careful palette swapping and I can't tell

wait, the CGB (or just SGB?) had smooth full-screen fading? Why can't I find anything in the Pandocs about this?

imma make a game where only one of the textboxes is unskippable and it only appears if you get there in a certain amount of time. it'd say something like "didn't you hear? this is a speedrun!"

oh no

it's better when game enemies don't have canonical names

I'm not normally into the Metroid runs, but I absolutely love this banter.

wow, standing ovation for rolling in place for 5 minutes.

(deserved)

Oof, this is a lot

quine that's written entirely in install scripts, requirements files, and package manifests

Not sure if he's around anymore but it still blows my mind that DSDad is the GILectomy guy
