Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.

Looks like the technical term is “Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak”.

The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.

These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld’s increased processing speed and memory.

Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.

I stopped asking in like 2020 for the most part. Everything I asked was getting.akred as a duplicate even though it wasn’t because someone believed an ANSWER on a different question answered my question (they didn’t).

Plus StackOverflow Meta has been a fucking joke for years. They removed a site from HNQ because of a tweet. Why are they listening more to random Twitter users than folks on Meta?

And the whole Monica fiasco still has me upset.

But seriously. Every time I asked a question on StackOverflow I’d spend like 30 minutes wording it correctly and looking for duplicates. I’d find things that were sort of duplicates and explain preemptively why they aren’t. And every fucking time some doofus marks it as a duplicate. I just can’t take it. Like it literally makes me so angry even thinking about it. They had a problem with their humans LONG before AI came around. If they’d fixed that problem they could’ve really positioned themselves nicely when AI happened as a boutique place for humans answering humans. But no, their culture cultivates assholes who believe they’re following rules to the letter.

I’ve been blessed with not having children.

You should teach your children to do the things you want them to do. That’s not a contradiction. If I wanted my child to leave the seat down I’d teach them that. If I wanted my child to leave the seat up I’d teach them that. If I wanted my child to do what I suggested earlier in the thread I’d teach them that.

Teach the child to leave it down if you want it left down.

Just put it back as you found it. Easy peesy.

B trees are cool but not obscure necessarily. I didn’t learn about them in college. It sounds like binary tree and it’s similar but it’s different. It’s a data structure to take advantage of the way disk reads work.

I am already filled with guilt about the way things like executive dysfunction work. I don’t open up about the details of it with folks because I’m afraid they’ll think I’m lazy.

Brain scans revealed that these medications activate reward and alertness systems

I’ve been taking ADHD medication for over a decade and was told this was how it works.

And they lied about it on the award application, but yes.

Did you see the one where someone trained bots to do crystal pvp on 2b2t? It was fascinating and actually “AI” (not LLM AI but what we would’ve called AI pre LLM/gen AI lol). I don’t remember much else. Basically the bots actually saw the screen, not at full resolution, but enough to really see and move and attack players in a very advanced way. (Crystal PVP involves putting down end crystals and detonating them, it’s much more involved than just clicking with a sword or aiming arrows.)

Sort of already exists as Baritone. https://github.com/cabaletta/baritone I’m not sure what all it can and can’t do but it’s pretty sophisticated.

Edit: Note that, as far as I know, none of it is AI in the modern usage of the term.

AI took that too! Oops all joblessness! 🤩

If you’re applying for an award that asks “were toxic ingredients used at any point while making this cake” because part of the culture of the award is not using toxic ingredients, then yeah, you need to disclose that you used toxic ingredients.

Genuinely, if you think so low opinion of a generation, I hope you don’t have access to nukes.

BLUE PRINCE! WOO!

Space Station 14 is a blast. If you’re really interested in hosting it though you might need a larger friend group. I think you’d need maybe 10 or so people before it actually feels interesting.

Edit: There are plenty of public servers to play on too.

Mint is based on Ubuntu but not made by Canonical. Dint worry about it.
