Use png and IDK I don't remember which cmd line soft but it stripped out unused colors and compressed images like that one hard.

That, without the red lines and circles, and without jpeg jitter should be like 1kb. Or less less.

Now, as an oldtimer, when you load that 1kb image up, it will still take like 640x320 bytes (it was all 8bit) so 200KB of RAM. But back in the day I guess it was more like the original GB 160x144 so 22.5KB RAM needed to show that image.

Did it work like that?

No, because cartridges didn't have a lot of space, and the consoles didn't have much RAM, so you used tiles. You had a tile map image, each tile was 8x8 pixels pointing to a palette (so you could use 4-bits for the color. More or less so, there were a lot of 'modes'). Each tile had a number and your screen was some 20x18 tiles x 1 byte numbers, designing the 'tile' to be shown at that particular position of the screen.

All done by hardware so way fast!

To make the scrolling run you had a 'delta' pixels to slightly move the "screen" around.

Fun times.

Time to go to bed 😪😴

They (who she is quoting) would probably add 11 and 13 too 😰

The Il-22 got to an airport (asking for ambulance, fire fighters...), but seems to be totally wrecked.

The AWACS downed is Moskva sinking level, they only have a handful of those, some say 5, some say 8. Now one less :-)

Firefly.

I mean more series, uh episodes.

I know it's not the full truth(maybe?) but I feel like we're not attracting the worst kind.

And you know what?

One and a half million people, I can work with that. I know it's not going to stay that number but it's seriously enough for anyone, except some soul-less megacotp ofc.

Yay! I love it!

the government-controlled authority would then be able to intercept the web traffic of not only their own citizens, but all EU citizens, including banking information, legally privileged information, medical records and family photos.

What could go wrong ...

Ouch, so the Sony root kit scandal just showed how it should be done for companies...

I'm old enough to have known the internet before the ads, and there were a ton of forums where you'd find both information and help for free. Obviously most hobby stuff but still.

I listened to podcasts about roguelikes for example, and hanged out on the popular video game dev forums and it was all free and good.

Serious question: what is the content people create that is so costly today?

I mean it's nice if you can live off your hobby expertise but there's also a question about monetising like everything? Or what am I missing :-) ?

In good health obviously.

But she sucks so hard

Drink verification can.

Yeah over ... checks papers ... Not treason, not murder nor terrorism rape or plotting to overthrow the government ... Here, I finally found it ; for ... copyright infringement??

What a total idiocy.
