Text changes in Champions 1.0.3: - Leech seed damage corrected from 1/16th to 1/8th - When choosing a language, you are warned that "Your initial language choice permanently determines the set of available keyboard options."

PEOPLE KEEP ASKING IF I'M BACK, AND I REALLY HAVEN'T HAD AN ANSWER. BUT NOW, YEAH. *I'M THINKING I'M BACK.* 5,000,000 IQ SUBSPACE EMISSARY IMPROVEMENT

A helpful warning for 10x developers. These days you gotta grind into a more-than-100x developer to compete, now that the "bird factor" is in play.

In 2016, speedrunners proved that the "trigger wild battle" and "generate IVs" RNG was unintentionally correlated, making perfect IVs and shiny IVs both impossible. In 2026, a romhacker noticed that Silph Scope causes IVs to be regenerated, meaning that all IVs *are* possible in Pokemon Tower!

It's amazing how they were able to include so many memorable characters to these games. Personally my favourite would have to be the sweet potato kid.

can this be a solution?

Certain textboxes close on their own. However, if you hold down the A button, they do not. Odd design choice.

A similar new and excitingly different story did take place.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Wrote a tool to decrypt Pokemon Champions saves: github.com/MrCheeze/cha... (and by "wrote" I mostly mean "gave the relevant decompiled IL2CPP functions to Claude and let him have at it")

I decided to re-register an account to enjoy the memes of our 1990s #MoonChild game. 😁👍 I designed Hoi and Moon Child. Reinier van Vliet coded it, and Ramon Braumuller made the soundtrack. Play Moon Child online: proofofconcept.nl/portfolio/mo... Moon Child Archive: archive.org/details/Moon...

at least the attack was distributed, that’s the atproto way

Moon Child news: When you run into a wall he does this

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

so, um. the candles tweet is making fun of a specific guy, named zaurg, who was a legend on the personal finance board at something awful.

oh, yeah this is from one of my projects. dear imgui these days supports generating font atlases at runtime, and peeking inside can even reveal info about what strings the program is rendering (you can see "debug", a shard of "file" and "the quick brown fox")

some files. no idea what a "special roster" is

I was vaguely aware that font atlases are a thing (reducing the number of textures by embedding all the glyphs into a single image). What I did not realize was that they just get put into a Pile

I mean it makes sense right? He was obviously in the waffle house 4 PUs away www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

i'm sorry but the moon is a complete boondoggle that should never have been put up there in the first place. we still have to send repair missions up there a hundred-plus years later all because taft was trailing in the polls and decided to learn magick. i don't know why he thought it would help him

Genuinely a great explainer regardless of your background knowledge, and of course a historic discovery!

Hey, we found ACE in the FDS version of SMB1! Check out the result of our hard work here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFLT...

Ghost trick spoiler

Th-thank you... Metroid. Metroid? Because... um... you were the ultimate warrior. Oh yeah.

I found it, the most deranged way a grocery store has ever displayed pasta sauce

But wait — OLEICAT?

Alright yeah that checks out, surprised it took so long

Damn. Was 3/4 of the way through making a live-action Moana on Sora. RIP

An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

The PC in every Pokémon Center allows you to connect to Bill's and Prof. Oak's computers over the network, just like a workstation connected to the Internet in the early days. The source code to Pokémon Red (1996) implies we are using System V UNIX.

Normally we say "it's crazy that this took so long to be found" But I can honestly understand zero people trying this in 20 years lmao (original source: youtu.be/1zjHSrnD8rQ)

I wasn't sure what the Mega Man Star Force games were, but, thankfully, the new collection's official web page includes a genre listing

Condolences for Satan today. Thought he was safe because the only way Chuck Norris could get to him was if he died as an evil bastard. But alas

Upon death, Egyptians would measure the weight of a heart against the feather of truth, known as Ma'at. This measurement was known as the Good Heart law.

There's a good joke about non-constructive proofs

"and other iconic sites" might well be Golden Gate Claude's funniest line

when microsoft finally finishes figuring out how to make the xbox a windows PC sony should bring this back so we can combine the console wars and the OS wars into one thing
