Definitely avoid buying stuff from
@ibuypowerpc.bsky.social

They recently mis-shipped some RMA-requested RAM to the wrong address and are essentially making me deal with the fallout instead of resolving it quickly

Love having a broken PC for 2+ months lol

Game dev take:
Parallax is the highest impact / lowest effort visual trick in 2D.
Overrated or essential?

This is going to trigger a heap allocation. Prolly fine in many cases, but keep it out of the gameplay loop etc

SaGa 1 and 2 are incredible rpgs, 2 especially. 3 isn’t the same team and is a bit blah, although you can see how the team that made it eventually went on to make Chrono Trigger

I thought this originally too, but with no additions from the DK universe I’m skeptical

Ever have a dumb pun generate too many bug reports?

The “Bubomic” Rat throws exploding poison rats at the enemies, but often suffers from people thinking her name is a typo!

You can make content specifically available to crawlers, but not other people. This is also why sites like archive.is can pull paywalled content for you, by acting like a crawler

I suspect he did, but the Gurus were already aware of time travel and the damage it could cause, so he avoided modifying events directly.
