that’s why there’s no gc->Wii arrow, despite the Wii containing an entire gamecube!

i was more highlighting “this is new hardware doing the same thing but better”. gb-gbc is the same CPU, just faster. gba-gbasp is the exact same hardware.

new 3ds also sort of fits that description but it’s a completely different system internally, just moulded into a DS form factor.

Nintendo have always worked in a tick-tock fashion. first they try something new, then they refine the formula.

• NES -> SNES
• N64 -> GC
• Wii -> Wii U
• Game Boy -> GBA
• DS -> DSi
• 3DS -> New 3DS

obviously these are not all equivalent, but they have the same feeling of “now that the tech has matured, what can we do with it?”

that’s fair.

in GTA 2, naming your player “GOURANGA” activates the cheat code mode. “IAMDAVEJ” gives you all guns.

in half-life 2, typing ent_fire !picker in the console makes the thing you are looking at catch fire. it’s also the base command for a lot of other things; if you’re looking at a door and add “unlock” to the command, the door will open.

when stacking firewood, always put the pieces with the bark facing up. that way, rain can’t get the wood wet, and the logs dry quicker.

paper maps fold long side first.

the modern graphical interface of the personal computer was developed by Xerox and plagiarized by Steve jobs after he got a factory tour in 1972, but he missed the most important part of the computer that he saw: it was fully networked using what we today call Ethernet.

i’m not too fond of the autistic superintelligence meme. yes there are people like this, but personally i can’t math for shit.

i could probably go on about an interesting locomotive i found yesterday if you want a few hours wasted though…

i do not want elmo to raise a private army, invade a foreign nation, or quell a “slave” “uprising”.

i usually get to where i’m going using man pages rather than copying wholesale from the web, but when i find something worth saving i usually put the snippet in its own script in ~/.local/bin, which is in my PATH. with some modifications to make it generic, of course.

after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like

first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it
then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it
now he’s talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he’s saying some of the most batshit insane things i’ve ever heard, so i’m starting to reevaluate my earlier choices…
