Something amusing as I drove home today. A rather amusing/honest slogan.

It was a place that sells roast chicken. Their slogan, translated to English, states that people say their chicken isn't very good, but it'll do/better than nothing/something along those lines.

I'm supposed to write a work term report for the internship program I'm doing through my university at the moment.
The sample one they provided makes it seem really intimidating because it's on a weird advanced topic I don't understand, and it's also like 20 pages long. But the handbook says the length of the report doesn't matter, and it's just pass or fail.

So it's really probably not a big deal at all, and I'd like to get it started but every time I try to get started I can't think of anything to write about. I work on a social marketing product for businesses to manage their social media accounts. Today I added support for twitter's new 280 character limit. Most of my work has been wrangling CSS and adding tiny features. Like, I don't know how I'm supposed to write a whole report on this.

Probably not at all related but I have a 6 page english paper to do, and I have no clue how I'm supposed to write anything that long when most of the prompts are... not very controversial, I guess.
Also I found out I'm failing half my courses 'cos I missed some labs, so that's fun

Working on my voice lately. It really makes me wish when I was younger that I would've taken a drama course, but I was never confident in those days, so it would not have worked out. Now that I have a bit of positive energy in me, I feel like I'm making progress.

Today I saw a miserable charity special and decided I should donate some money, but I wanted to make sure I did so wisely. So I looked around online and found a bunch of sites advocating 'effective altruism', which looked like what I was looking for, but then it turned out a good chunk of those guys are straight-up crazy and think humanity is gonna be consumed by artificial intelligence in some kind of Matrix scenario. Like, they'd consider donations to 'research' on this subject to be equivalent to malaria nets or nutrition or whatever.

What a time to be alive.

I'm disappointed that there's really only two content hacks for Link's Awakening.

I know that it's technically a weaker version of A Link to the Past engine-wise, but there has to be more potential in it than this.

EDIT: Well, there is a third one, but by the reviews, it's too hard to be much fun.

[raekuul]

I'm not surprised. There's just generally less interest in mucking around with Link's Awakening than there is Link to the Past.

Just like how there's less interest in mucking around with Link to the Past than there is Super Mario World.

Yo. It was a nice weekend here. Got a lot of stuff done even if it meant not having as much time to talk until last night in Discord.

PSA raocow: Snes9x 1.55 is out.

I heard the next version of SNES9X would support the recently fan-translated Tengai Makyou Zero, which has some kind of custom graphics chip. Any idea if that's true? I'd like to give that game a try.

[Coryman]

Wellp
It's 1:05AM
I thought I had a project due at like noon tomorrow
Turns out it's due next week

Also wow 1AM feels no different than like 5PM this time of year. Either way, it's dark out, slightly darkish in my room, and pretty much dead quiet apart from my computer

I'm not sure what GTS is, but I love that too.

Behold, a not-at-all quick way to tell whether your SGB mode is SNES or just GB-With-Borders.


BSNES's SGB implementation isn't great (read: IT STINKS, as far as GB fidelity is concerned, since it's BSNES emulating a GB on top of running the SGB firmware) but it's at least SNES. The LSNES-With-Gambatte hack is much more accurate to actual SGB (LSNES handles the SNES code while Gambatte handles the GB), but that needs a computer from 2020 to run at full speed.

The quickest way to tell is: does your emulator have definitions for X, Y, L, and R? If so, SNES (and therefore "true" SGB). Otherwise, it's just GB-with-borders.
