![]() ![]() My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries? She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. ![]() We will be at Artist Alley table 19 & 20! I’m going to be at Anime Conji this weekend, May 31st - June 2nd, with flareboost ! Most of the icons on this site could not fit into the working memory of a Game Boy intact. 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. Y'all looking down from your 64-bit quad-core smartphones with 128GB SD cards like Red & Blue were programmed by amateurs. It just plugs away with garbage data in memory for as long as possible. Sure, you can make it crash if you try hard enough, but goddamn it’s resilient. And the bugs that did exist, those edge cases they missed? They produce this behavior because the game REFUSES TO CRASH. I can turn on my red cartridge TODAY and have it work. 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. I guarantee you 99% of children playing this never saw a bug in casual play. Does this data need to be single purpose, or can we also use it for, say, a seed value?Īnd all this WORKED. Only have a couple registers? Juggle them, keep careful track so we can restore them when we needed. Not currently using a piece of memory? Repurpose it, we can’t just leave it lying around. But Red & Blue were when programmers had to get creative. 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. In that way, the programming behind them is GENIUS. It’s so easy to forget that but Red and Blue were literally pushing the limits of what they could fit on the cartridge. ![]() Red and blue are why QA teams were inventedįor fuck’s sake they weren’t badly programmed. Im pretty sure red and blue weren’t programmed but just sort of… mutated into cartridges I dont understand half of the words here but god if this isn’t the funniest thing i’ve ever read Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity… Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers. So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen. No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash I could seriously use this money right now…. Omg this actually works!!! Thank you 10 of Pentacles!!! May the 10 of Pentacles bless your account with more money than you can spend. SOME BIG SPICY JOY PLEASE i request the big spicy joy If it worked for them I hope it works for everyone else So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers ![]() I post song lyrics that I have written every once in awhile.Įveryone who reads this post will get some big spicy joy within 24 large minutes (hours) This is my tumblr of stuff I'm interested in/stuff I find amusing. ![]()
