it's only an analogue if it comes from the analogue region of france, otherwise it's just a sparkling famiclone

okay the files written by the game LONESTAR are weird. They're JSON files, but if you look at them, they're base64 encoded.

so you base64 decode them, and they're... binary files?

to all haters: this is an actual, real Ghidra instance living inside of a Minecraft client, open with a real executable of FFXIV

You reverse engineer executables with the Ghidra UI. I reverse engineer executables with a Minecraft command so I can read decompiler output while fishing. We are not the same

my therapist: the new nintendo 2ds xl isn't real. it can't hurt you
the new nintendo 2ds xl:

oh god oh no i stared at the midi data tables for the seqtrak and it might be a fully editable awm2 synth???? like, you can apparently edit the eight "elements" comprising a voice using sysex, and the sampler track is just awm2 so you could make entirely custom sounds????????

@ryanc hi!
i wanted to say thanks for your work.
i'm a new (1 year) UK immigrant; agender, always wanted an X, though my country of origin is never going to introduce that and i eventually settled on F as a good enough substitute.
even then i donated a few hundred over the months. the UK should really get their shit together, and it's a shame that it takes someone's personal effort to get them to do this; something i'm all too familiar with.
good luck, and i hope we win

Imagine you wanted to hire some people to read books. Your books are in French. You can't hire French people (too expensive!) so you hire English people, but you make sure every book has a "how to read French" chapter (in English) at the beginning.

Now understand that this is how the Apple II disk drive works.

I unironically love when people do this (from conversation on Twitter).

Trans people don't own gender. We stole it the same way Prometheus stole fire, so it would be available to everyone.

You're welcome.

TIL that microprose did an in-house port of Railroad Tycoon to the Macintosh Plus/SE in the early 90s.

it is *adorable*. they went through an incredible amount of effort to mac-ify the interface, and repainted all of the art in high-res black & white. and the mouse is fully functional, unlike the ms-dos version

best compliment i can give to its porting team: it feels like a genuine maxis game.
