@foone Soft rubber dimples with a hard clicking mechanism if you press hard enough (slightly more than you'd use typing on a regular keyboard) on them, like clicking the top of a pen to bring the point in or out.The clicking mechanism does absolutely nothing.

@foone Third option (which I'm not going to do, but do want to point out is an option): playing old games with Snes9x-style scaling algorithms - maybe even with vanilla Kega Fusion - as a kind of counter-nostalgia out of spite.

@foone Right to left is reserved for vertical writing. Ever since I want to say the post-War era*, Japanese has always defaulted to left to right whenever it had to give something direction along a horizontal axis.

@foone I'm the inverse, in that while I acknowledge the metric system's superiority over imperial, I still prefer using miles over kilometers because walking twenty minutes every day instilled in me the intuition that a mile is twenty minutes' worth of walking.

@foone Turing equivalence dictates that one Turing complete system can perform the same tasks as any other. It says nothing about performing those tasks as efficiently as the other systems.

@foone Meanwhile, I'm fucking about with 18th century literary theory in the course of analyzing this.

@foone MobyGames can be and always has been very exacting about differentiating games. We're lucky the update a year or two ago let you parent different game versions together. Before that, you had to pretend a single game somehow constituted a franchise.

@foone No, but that does give me the idea to sabotage QR codes I don't like by sharpie'ing pixels onto random spots.Well, it DID before I thought to look up whether QR codes have any kind of error correction (they do).

@foone Some of these describe ethnicities and nationalities, which tells me the developer wanted to head off online abuse. Either that, or someone on the team REALLY had it out for Latin Australian bimbos.

@foone I can think of a couple edge cases: Bismuth in basically this one video:https://youtu.be/QvOH3W1Sokk...and Skawo, whose jokey attitude can grate at too high a dose:https://youtu.be/15tM-wos2mo

@foone I'd be the humanities student who comes in and points out how similar this dilemma is to attempts to define religion, in that both basically come down to "how do we rework an implicit example that's familiar to us [Earth, Christianity] into a broad definition without excluding a wealth of examples that don't neatly resemble that first one in various, often mutually exclusive ways?"

@foone Do you take recommendations? Because a part of me wants an easier way to make fake Mega Man X4 Maverick screens than fucking around with MyFonts.

@foone I could point you to the font the game uses - this one, in case you're curious https://www.myfonts.com/products/ef-bold-oblique-handel-sans-406945?queryId=4292670b5ccd698e55d37d45a3223b87&index=universal_search_data&objectIDs=5463691002 - and I want to say the fan translations figured out how to translate those specific screens.

@foone "Penny roll?" I believe you mean a 181-gauge barrel.
