"When the sun of culture hangs low on the horizon, even dwarves cast long shadows." - Karl Kraus

I always found this to be remarkably meaningful.

Yeah, that was it. I think I used to solve the problem by putting (posts p, posts_text) in brackets.

IIMarckus: A somewhat cleaner codebase, and a bit less bloat, pretty much.

blackhole89 wanted me to do this earlier, but I didn't get around to it, and I just recently remembered...

I map16ified the Cave Story Outer Wall BG that he uploaded. I uploaded the GFX to the ToS section, here's a link: Cave Story BG.

Many thanks; well done. This helps a lot.

Well, I mostly referred to Officer's Club's state in ABII - I know well it worked much better before the first split. As for the "N-word" thing, I didn't know about that.

Regarding the merging forums debate, I agree with neotransotaku as far as all those solutions seem as unnecessarily complicated replacement plugs for the seemingly trivial way of improving activity by starting more threads on interesting topics that invite lurkers and the still considerable amount of people browsing the forum every day to post. Of course, decreasing overall space might still reduce the detrimental perception of "tumbleweeds" in some corners of the forum.

The adaptation of the SMW Koopas to the SMAS drawing style turned out well. Did you make that yourself?

Replace "factors" with "divisors" in the above statements and yes, 1 divides itself.

As far as I know, 1 is not considered a prime for the sake of the statement that "every natuarl number >1 has a unique prime factorization". If 1 was considered prime, you could represent 6 as 2*3, 1*2*3, 1*1*2*3 etc.

So how is this related to SMW?

Moving to ROM Hacking.

No. Since the anime is styled in that "1920s Japan" way, they use the iroha system for enumeration (A method of putting the kana in order, think alphabet, except Japanese; it's also based on some ancient Buddhist poem that has every kana in it exactly once). The modern equivalent of that class, in other words, would be 2-F.

After reading the article, I was very positive this was a hoax, but it seems to have been reported on several sufficiently serious news sites...

Exactly what part of "electronics" do they eat? I somehow fail to believe they can eat them whole...

If they are that hard to deal with using the classical methods, I guess they'll have to resort to either introducing a species that, in turn, predates on them, finding some very specific toxin or breeding some highly contagious bacterium that's supposed to take the species out and quickly adapts to humans for massive damage.

Dunno, but this says they're attracted to electricity and cause short circuits.

Shouldn't layoung out electric traps, when done right, pose an efficient coutnermeasure then?

we've had electronic -eating ants since forever.
I should get out more

I only heard about some species of fungus that decomposed the lacquer typically found on HDD surfaces being at home in the rainforests before... learn something new every day.

it's also based on some ancient Buddhist poem that has every kana in it exactly once
Iro wa nioedo
Chirinuru o
Wa ga yo tare zo
Tsune naran
Ui no okuyama
Kyō koete
Asaki yume miji
Ei mo sezu.

Modern rendition. Doesn't maintain the kana uniqueness.
Try again.

(I know the first two lines by heart. Does that make me weeaboo?

)

How masochistic of you.

Yes, because posting on a message board clearly causes people physical pain.

Acmlmboard3 will feature actual electroshocks for bad posters.

Resolved. Apparently, unset variables compare as less than zero.

This is a very nice hack; the graphics in particular are impressive. One thing that annoys me a bit, though, is the brightness difference between the ground tiles and the darker/more saturated green surrounding hills/mountains; while I understand that you probably would have run out of graphics memory if you made proper border tiles to avoid the square borders between the ground and tiles that have cliffs on them, it might have been the overall better decision to leave the walkable floor in the same shade of green as the surrounding hills to begin with.

Also, I got killed in the third floor of the mud temple after my PSI ran out.

Well, it would be, but what IIMarckus said implies that they make them inoperable (thus making them subject to disposal, thus creating higher-than-normal demand for new electronics, thus supporting rather than counteracting the trash problem) more than they actually contribute to their overall decomposition (the main problem of which, I'd suppose, would be the various fairly heat and water resistant plastics that make up the boards and casing).

A hex editor and disassembler-debugger should be all a ROM hacker really needs; everything beyond that is just bogus magic.

If you think the data you've found in RAM directly mirros something that is stored in the ROM, note its contents and look for the same hexadecimal string in the ROM using a hex editor.
