I thought it was kinda sus that you came in 12 hours before they left, and acquainted with e6 relatively quickly, but yeah I Kem believe you aren't

if we were speculating on this account being a person with a previously deleted account it'd more likely to be SpuriousZabaione, than Kem. at the surface level there's the similar naming scheme of <Adjective><Food product>, and the fact that this newer account was created just a handful of days after the other one's deletion.

and just taking the briefest of glances at favs, there seems to be, let's say, a distinct pattern.

hmm... ʚ(϶⁰~⁰)

    Oh hey, I found it again.

    https://archive.org/details/snesdevelopmentmanualbook2

    Is actually the software for (a newer version.

    https://archive.org/details/sculptured-software-super-nes-development-system-overview

    SSBUG.EXE supports SNES and Genesis, as shown with DEFAULT.BIN.

    Needed to type out the code manually, but it seems to work. Only did the one starting on page 15(bg gfx example code). Did the original, then fixed it so it compiles with vasm6502_oldstyle.

    It took a while to get working, vasm6502_oldstyle IS case sensitive. And example: Gtest1 and GTest1 are not considered the same.

    =@.@=

    Interesting to find docs on these game console's development manual / codes. Appreciate it! :D

    What matters is your moment to moment attraction, anyway. Having a label can help you make sense of it, but as you said if you treat the words as defining your behavior then you've got it backwards.

    in my opinion lables should mostly be used externally, meaning that they should be used to make it easier for people (yourself included) to understand who you are.

    you're pretty much never going to find a lable that perfectly describes who you are and is also coherent. and even if you found a lable that perfectly describes who you are in a single moment, things can change, you can learn more about who you are, and discover things and ideas you'd never considered before.

    just try to present yourself truthfully and don't worry about it too much.

    I'm not sure you can judge geometry from an external perspective like that. I would say that if you're viewing any universe from a perspective outside of that universe you're necessarily going to be getting a skewed perspective of its geometry.

    like, if you just drew a straight line on a piece of paper, accordion folded that paper, unfolded it slightly so it was like /\/\/\/ , and tilted the paper so you're not viewing it straight on, the line would no longer appear straight, but from an internal perspective the line would still be straight.

    in the opposite direction, if there was a euclidian universe with more spacial dimensions than ours that was askew to our universe. if we somehow were able to poke a three-dimensional viewport into that universe we'd likely see stuff that seems non-euclidian but that's mearly because our viewpoint would necessarily be non-euclidian.

I mean-- let yourself exist, learn who you are on your own time, and, like, you can use words to describe who you are, but don't get attached to a lable, and certainly don't let yourself be defined by what words you think apply to you or not.

    it'd still be a straight, unbroken line, though, there's just some perspectives where it'd seem otherwise.

    I'd say it's the other way around. If I take a piece of paper and rip it, then draw a line that goes up to the cut on one side and another line that continues from the other side of the cut, that wouldn't be a straight unbroken line even if the paper and line appeared straight and unbroken to some observer at certain viewpoints. Space (the paper) is broken, even if it can be aligned to appear continuous from an observer inside the space. It'd be a broken line that can appear unbroken, rather than an unbroken line that can appear broken.

    Plus, portals represent a cut in space and/or time, so the shortest path using a portal isn't a straight line, but a cut/segmented path that only appears connected from certain viewpoints.

    it's like if you could point a super laser pointer that ignores all matter and only cares about the topology of space. in euclidian space no matter where you position those points there's always one and exactly one way to position the laser so it crosses any two points in space. once you start introducing non-euclidian topology there are going to be situations where not all pairs of points are colinear and/or situations where a single pair of points share multiple lines.

    yeah, they definitely don't. since portals behave like impenetrable surfaces there's going to be multiple situations where the shortest path has turns.

    has anyone noticed that the non-euclidean_penetration tag is incorrect? non-euclidean means the space itself defies the rules of euclidean geometry, i.e. angles of a triangle not adding up to 180°, shortest path between two points not being a straight line, etc. portals still obey these rules. i guess it could be said that a gravitational field within the pseudo-riemannian manifold that the universe exists in is non-euclidean, but that would also include all normal penetration. e621 please fix

    On a more serious note, are you sure that portals obey the rule that the shortest path is the straight line?

    It might be that our current paradigm of sexuality doesn't even closely map to reality so such a thing is just impossible.

    ^ this. I feel like the language we currently use to define attraction/orientation is probably extremely lacking and a lot of the work done to understand it isn't really getting much of anywhere.

    but honestly, I feel everyone would be happier if they, just kinda, cared a bit less. I mean-- let yourself exist, learn who you are on your own time, and, like, you can use words to describe who you are, but don't get attached to a lable, and certainly don't let yourself be defined by what words you think apply to you or not.

    Sometimes I wish there was a quick, science-approved test to know your exact sexual orientation.

    "Yeah, you're bisexual, you can try dating the opposite sex"
    or
    "No, you're gay, you like women aesthetically but that's it"
    and etc.

    This will likely happen in 20 years or so, and it will make life so much easier

    20 is too generous, given how hard it is to pin down psychology in general. It might be that our current paradigm of sexuality doesn't even closely map to reality so such a thing is just impossible.

    Honestly? I thought I did at least once too. Maybe you're misremembering cause you've seen me around the forums?

    Could also be the profile pic, I've seen atleast 1 other guy use it, someone who browsed thru e6 soely via e-book & got banned for being a minor
