(header from startrek.com) a mess, Pisces, INFJ. I mostly reblog stuff like Star Trek, Pokémon (mostly Mewtwo), cats, memes, or suomipaskaa.
I love Qcard and Spirk. I do all kinds of crafts and arts.
My DA: iluarts, A03: Spocko_My_Man, RedBubble: Spocko-My-Man, Insta: @ilu.arts
can people, mostly Americans, stop making stupid fucking jokes about the Ukraine and Russia situation. It’s disgusting to see you all call Putin “Vladdy Daddy” and stop calling this WW3. Not everything in life is a joke, and not everything centers around Americans.
I remember every time I watch Mewtwo Returns how disappointed I was it didn’t inspire a spinoff series about Mewtwo traveling the world, fighting Team Rocket from the shadows, making human and Pokemon friends.
bruh Oingo was so lucky that avdol and kak were hospitalized bc they wouldve immediately been like. lmfao what the fuck youre not Jotaro
but instead he got the Himbo Squad who were like.. lol Jotaro youre SO FUNNY and WEIRD TODAY
Ppl be reblogging my old ass Qcard posts like good for yall but I’m confused as I barely even touch tungle anymore lmao I’m mostly into Jojo these days and also tungle sucks ass. anyway,
Oh yeah if you wanna see my arts n stuff follow me on the insta of gram, my @ there is ilu.arts
i dont understand half of the words here but god if this isn’t the funniest thing i’ve ever read
im pretty sure red and blue weren’t programmed but just sort of… mutated into cartridges
Red and blue are why QA teams were invented
for fuck’s sake they weren’t badly programmed. They were bleeding edge. It’s so easy to forget that but Red and Blue were literally pushing the limits of what they could fit on the cartridge.
They used every trick in the book. In that way, the programming behind them is GENIUS. It’s frankly a lost art, in this era where hardware is insanely cheap and scalable, when you can just keep throwing more resources at the problem. But Red & Blue were when programmers had to get creative. Not currently using a piece of memory? Repurpose it, we can’t just leave it lying around. Only have a couple registers? Juggle them, keep careful track so we can restore them when we needed. Does this data need to be single purpose, or can we also use it for, say, a seed value?
And all this WORKED. I guarantee you 99% of children playing this never saw a bug in casual play. MODERN games are buggier by a landslide. Remember when X&Y came out and there was an ENTIRE CITY you couldn’t save in because it’d DELETE YOUR SAVE? Imagine that happening in the days of Red&Blue. It couldn’t have. I can turn on my red cartridge TODAY and have it work. And the bugs that did exist, those edge cases they missed? They produce this behavior because the game REFUSES TO CRASH. Sure, you can make it crash if you try hard enough, but goddamn it’s resilient. It just plugs away with garbage data in memory for as long as possible.
Y'all looking down from your 64-bit quad-core smartphones with 128GB SD cards like Red & Blue were programmed by amateurs. What, you also going to bitch that the Wright Brothers didn’t make a jet engine? These are artifacts from pioneers who wrote the goddamn book that others would use as gospel.
Sincerely, a pissed off goddamn programmer.
In case anyone is wondering, Pokemon Red is 1 MB. Not one of the images. Not its Pokedex system. Not its map. The entire game is 1 MB.
sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if we’ve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall we’re done
{ID: an image of Bernie Sanders captioned with text saying “I am once again asking my mutuals to complete the Post+ survey to keep Tumblr free. Post+ is a terrible idea and WILL fuck over anyone who could possibly benefit from it”}
in all seriousness. if u are a content creator and u want to make money. do not put your money in the hands of tumblr. like not just bc it will ruin the site but because i genuinely do not trust them to handle ur money. literally just open commissions or use patreon/ko-fi
this is a website that lets you click a tag you see on your dash all the time and takes you to a “there’s nothing here” error page
let me put it this way, we were all ecstatic when this happened:
myself included like this is what tumblr was born for but do you really. really? want to give your credit card information to the site that brought you-
I DON’T. THINK. SO.
anyway please take that survey and tell them what a horrible idea this is because it might be the only legitimate way we have of doing so :’)
