It makes sense, in a twisted way. Most nimals are not contradicting their beliefs so they deserve saving, but some people do. So they end up with this weird list of priorities: People like them (beliefs and appearance) > animals > people not like them (beliefs) > people not like them (appearance)

However, the actors still produce CO2 regardless of them showing up in a movie, so you can't attribute those emissions to acting itself. Meaning the real footprint of someone **acting** is much much closer to zero.

... assuming each real actor was doing two movies a year, that means real actors only overtake AI if you have over 200 actors on screen at once in each movie.

Google results say that a person in the US has a carbon footprint around 20 tons of co2 per year.
Google results say that video generation AI consumes around 2400 tons of co2 per hour of generated content. Or around 4000 per movie (some movies are longer than others.

I seem to have a problem with the IRQs so anything relying on IRQs fails because it never triggers.
I also don't have sprites implemented at all so that's another issue. I basically just implemented enough to get the original Donkey Kong to *run* (without sprites, so not playable)

WAIT nevermind what the heck.
I was playing around with the code after testing.

I saw it too, and I tried it on my unfinished NES emulator (that I hadn't touched since like 2017) and it didn't even get to the menu. XD
Someday I might do an instruction dump on a different emulator and compare with mine to see where things go wrong.
