often when i find myself outside i end up admiring the colours of the sky. and the sky in general. it's honestly beautiful

currently also appreciating the silhouettes of plants in front of the setting sun. this is wonderful

jankepi

(sorry i had to)

anyway here's my favorite picture of the sky i took two years ago

#reblog #this is one of the best posts maybe ever i think

this post is dedicated to quoigender people. because i never hear anyone talking about them and yknow sometimes gender really is just confusing

#quoigender #it has a few different definitions but they're all in the same vein #of not understanding one's own gender or sometimes just gender in general #also i dedicated the post to myself :3 i dunno what my gender is exactly and at this point i'm too afraid to ask

it really didn't have to be wednesday today honestly

often when i find myself outside i end up admiring the colours of the sky. and the sky in general. it's honestly beautiful

currently also appreciating the silhouettes of plants in front of the setting sun. this is wonderful

#very unusual post for me i feel. but it is true the sky is beautiful

i'd like to appreciate the time i went to draw something, drew a really good circle, and never continued the drawing. but i was too proud of the circle to not save it

#the circle tool has nothing on me i am the ultimate circle

I enjoy when video game mechanics fuck up in ways that provide insight into the particulars of their implementation. Like, my aerial controls just went screwy because somewhere below me there was a section of icy floor? Fascinating – let's see what other deranged implementation details I can puzzle out.

I wanna say it's Hisako in Killer Instinct 2013 that has an evil setup guaranteeing a hard knockdown, that relies on a glitch that sweeps don't cause hard knockdowns when they hit, it just checks that something hits while the sweep is active. like say, a fireball hits while hisako's leg is sticking out in that case.

Situations where the conditions a game is checking aren't what you'd intuitively expect them to be are always fun, yeah. It's a classic, but my personal favourite is probably stomping on enemies in the original NES Super Mario Bros. The game engine doesn't have any ability to evaluate the relative positions of objects involved in a collision – it's just "do these hitboxes overlap? yes or no" – so all it's actually checking is whether Mario's velocity on the vertical axis is negative on the frame that the collision occurs: if the thing is stompable and Mario was moving downward when the hitboxes touched, it shall be stomped. The potential for Shenanignans is, I trust, obvious.

melbug-ithink

this is actually a very subtle misconception! the game does have a check for if you're above an enemy as you're stomping it! but it also checks if you're moving downwards, which is just very often true if you're both touching an enemy and above it

the "if you're moving downward" check was specifically added to make it feel more fair, especially with the game's limited mid-air control. it does lead to some Shenanignans, yeah, but it's almost certainly an intentional design decision

#reblog #sorry to ruin your good example

the problem with listening to songs with interesting time signatures for me is, it ends up more as counting that happens to feature sounds in the background
