My Nintendo DS emulator sketched in silicon hit 60 FPS!!
They used to say this port to the MiSTer FPGA DE10-Nano was impossible. It would never run full speed. There isn't enough memory.
WELL I FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE MEMORY LOCALITY AND CACHING AND PIPELINING TO MAKE IT WORK BABYYYYY
EXPERIMENTAL SILICON DESIGN FROM 2020's WHITEPAPERS GO BRRRRR
Technical details under the cut!
It's really weird that I've probably been seen as an Ourcana defender when I don't even use it (I use PluralSpace at this moment).
But the petty feud I keep hearing about between everyone and Ourcana just fucks over systems, whether they want to admit it or not.
Not pointing anyone out (though, if you want to show yourself, feel free to), by neglecting to, at least, make an import/export option for Ourcana, you make sure systems that want to move away from Ourcana cannot move away without starting from scratch on their system.
You make sure that systems that use it are alienated and isolated from the rest of the system apps.
I don't think anyone here understands just how childish and petty they are being.
At the very least, Heni has given options to import from everyone she has associated with. She has even offered people who use Florality (*shudders*) an escape from that app. And yet, these devs can't even do that for anyone who uses Ourcana.
Not to mention, the only reason I'd even want PluralSpace and Ourcana able to connect is so I don't have to screenshot my system for my friends all the time to keep them updated, since they use other apps.
This childish feud only hurts your userbase. Not the developers you want it to hurt.
Still waiting for the PluralSpace API which should come with the mobile app! Then it’s only a few clicks for us all to interoperate.
I’ve done a bunch of work in private to support the new OpenPlural spec that PluralSpace can consume in theory. I ran into issues testing in practice because you can only export once every 12 hours and I need to confirm round trip delivery of the data and all to be really “done”
I’m going to gently drop the real reason I’m banned from most plural development spaces and why PluralKit staff seems to try to get word out ahead of anywhere I go that I should be excluded
If you read this literally or even carefully, I was the wrong type of autistic trans woman: one who sounds too much like a man. A tech bro. This is a DM a PluralKit developer and staff member sent me after demanding I delete my old tumblr because I detailed the harassment their helper Sol dropped in my server and then took to Tumblr.
I think in the end this is mostly fueled by pride and that there is zero tolerance in what is normally a hyper-tender and gentle community. You just have to not look like a hon. Supposedly. And don’t sound too smart either, even if it’s relevant.
And it gets worse the more details I get!
Genuinely, it's so frustrating and childish for the PK devs to be behaving this way. Especially after being transphobic (and I dare say dehumanizing, but that's not for me to decide) to a trans woman just because... you use too many big words that they need to use a dictionary for? God forbid autism makes you VERY good at writing or anything, I guess. I speak as someone whose partner is getting into code, and she says words I don't understand all the time. It's fine, it doesn't mean she's a bad person. (I would also expect other coders to know that coding is kind of its own language, not gonna lie...)
And how condescending that "I'm sure you don't mean any harm by it but it really bothers people." Yeah, sure, maybe to YOU (violet). I don't mind hearing about my partner coding apps or games she likes, I don't mind her going off on weird code tangents, even if I don't understand a word of it. I don't have to understand something to see the joy someone takes in it.
It's still so childish and all they're doing is alienating people who COULD hypothetically move to them. But considering how much downtime they have, that may be more beneficial for them.
Hopefully things work out with PluralSpace. I enjoy how it operates, especially the "Front Types" function (makes tracking things like mods very easy), but I don't want to force my friends to get it just to check up on me.
Sigh. This whole thing is just a mess all because they feel insecure in being unable to understand a few words you said. I wonder if it's hiding something worse behind that...
I appreciate your frank honesty and response but do want to make ABSOLUTELY sure everyone reading knows:
PluralSpace is fantastic. I’ve personally spoken to the developer and we exchanged initial schemas for data exchange and all that early on. Both of us have changed the code so much that we’ll need to sync back up, but I understand Drexel (the dev) went through a lot in his personal life and is still catching up.
I have every intention of supporting their platform. I had every intention with Florality too but their PR Lead Jamie called me a N*zi moments before I hit send on the stuff to let people import back IN to Florality and realized the universe was sending me a message LOL
That’s why Florality only imports and not exports.
Ourcana’s Online features were slightly delayed after the PluralKit API ban that went sideways last week. I lowkey had a little mental spiral and said “well I’ll fix that alongside shipping Online” and only managed to get the fix out to web…
By the way any loser with a single laptop can DoS (not even DDoS) PluralKit just by hitting the oembed.json and systems settings endpoints with random noise. You can mutate the data of other systems with one weird CLI command, and the rate limit protecting the mass spidering of user IDs isn’t just nonfunctional — you can abuse it to lock OTHER people out lmao from sheer traffic volume!
These are “not real issues” as I’m an “unreliable source of information” if you ask Iris (PluralKit hardware owner). I’ve done everything short of filing a CVE because that’s work, or patching the code because they aren’t gonna accept my contributions regardless lol
And the PluralKit downtime? They don’t model back pressure at all, and modeled ingest pressure wrong. This is coder speak for “no idea what I’m doing at scale”. When the bot starts struggling under traffic, a mix of three bugs in code compound to cause reboot loops that reboot back into a state where they let themselves get flooded with traffic again. One bug ingests too many events, another bug crashes as there’s a max limit to events that can be ingested in a moment, and the third bug throws out the error log that explains this because of a method called IsOurProblem that returns false and not true here
The bugs literally are:
- misunderstanding of Rust asynchronous model that just happens to work most of the time but gets worse under CPU load
- ingest queue is a 10k list and not an unbounded vector with no limit (we’re talking megabytes of RAM here they’re “saving”)
- not logging errors
I fixed all of these in an evening. I pushed the code up to my GitHub. I told them the issues. They looked at my code, fixated on a small hack I added at the end just to test, ignored two of the claims and attacked the weakest one in isolation.
They tell me I don’t understand the code. I’m so happy to have https://ourkitty.love/ now as an alternative

Sometimes I write emulators
I’ve been working on a Nintendo DS one that people said was impossible
It’s not full speed but it’s not a slideshow either
It’s been a labor of love as sometimes actions like inhaling tax the virtual game card just a little too hard aha
