Rare griping about my parents moment 2
so my mum has the BRILLIANT* idea of asking ME to buy it on my account to get it sent to me so I can send it to her.
*absolutely mindbogglingly daft
I say "hey hold on that'll cost a shitton are you sure??"
she says yes.
I say "...I mean... this probably isn't gonna happen but, I guess I can take a look at this thing, see what it is at least, what the deal is."
I look it up, Paula is like "hey we've got one of those, she can have it for free if she likes"
Rare griping about my parents moment 1
fucksake why is my mum so bloody oblivious.
So, she wants a vintage Brexton 1950s picnic hamper, and she found one on ebay that she wants, and she paid for it, but the seller returned the money because he lives like 30 miles north of Sheffield, where I live, and she's down in Guildford, and he doesn't wanna post this thing (understandable, it's fragile, heavy as fuck, and an antique) to her.

This is a GitHub repository containing the source code of Pokémon Red and Blue, disassembled and refactored to human-readable (and editable!) asm.
While the code is refactored, its functionality is untouched, and the ROMs you built with this code will be identical to the one that is on US Pokémon Red or Blue cartridge.
It is a really cool and interesting project!
Well, the Rockwell Descent was...
...tiny.
kinda broken in places. Playable, but not terribly interesting.
Time to play its sequel. The Rockwell Pursuit! Which by the author's own admission, is far far better than the Descent, because the Descent was a very early work of his, and is, quote "Held together by its bugs somehow", unquote.
yes I did yell in pain. yes she did bite hard. but very slowly. so I had time to appreciate the bite. and she was [i]purring the entire time[/i]
multiple non-british people replying to this with "source?": this is happening in the uk, it was yesterday's biggest story, most british people know someone who was affected or someone whose child was affected, because all final year students sit the same exams. since students couldnt sit exams this year, the government took their grades at mock exams and the grades their teachers predicted for them, and fed it through an algorithm that marked people down for being poor
Look, no matter where you stand on Apple v Epic this is definitely a crucial thing to consider
