Step 1. "I draw myself too much, I should just draw some random yinglet"
Step 2. Intense gender and species feelings
Step 3. It's me now I'm zhis.

You don't have to work out, but at least keep your joints and tendons well stretched and limber. Working out is nice, though.

Also its never too late to do pretty much anything. Learn to draw, take a saxophone lesson, become an accountant. Career changes and new hobbies aren't just for young people

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

In terms of what's actually happening here, there's no writeup in English, but it seems closely related to this TAS: tasvideos.org/7170S

Basically, FF2 RNG is seeded from uninitialized ram, and it *seems* Dr Mario is used just because the value it leaves there manips a rare battle and drop.

Exerpt of the description of a TAS that does a very similar route, but without any cartridge swap. ("Final Fantasy II improved TAS" by naruko)

"Encounter manipulation
The enemy group is determined by the player's position and address $00f7, and the value is incremented by a structured number of steps. The default value of address $00f7 in FCEUX is 0xff, and it is power-cycled to be the closest 2 to 0xff so that the Ogre Mage will appear."

(Not explicitly stated, but the fact that he refers to the default value in a specific emulator means that the game does not initialize this RAM.)

Exerpt of a RTA speedrun by Hisakaki_Mimi where they are obtaining a book of Blink from an enemy's drops, shortly after having done a cartridge swap to Dr. Mario and back. Their description says:

"By replacing the cartridge with Dr. Mario, the memory inside the main unit is operated. The book of Blink is obtained from the enemy's loot, and the ending is performed according to the prescribed procedure."

Anybody else think about how much this would radically alter their life and have to just stare at the ceiling awhile

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

I think the people who say "we need death by old age because it makes us human" are vastly outnumbered by the people who say "that's some reactionary bullshit, don't force death on people. PERSONALLY I'd be up for some dying though, I'd love it if the pain would stop" is what I'm saying

extrapolating from just myself and people I know, I think the reason is kind-of dark and sad and shouldn't be discussed in public.

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.
