I ended up just moving them tile by tile in my Game Boy port. Would that work for you? github.com/Sanqui/2048-gb
Yes, and I am illegally smuggling it into Czech also.

The "art of programming" might feel like it's crumbling, yet I'm still trying to keep up with software engineering developments. I'm now almost a year into learning event sourcing. It's satisfying to be able to write clean code even for legacy codebases. Sample con raffle feature—real world Python!
That's right! But they were familiar with other Unix systems. The Pokémon Center PC may have been modeled after a particular experience of using a different machine.
Technology is incredible! Credit to SatoMew for matching the label with the Unix variant. Photo from Wikipedia/Wikimedia (licensed with Creative Commons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HP...)
A composition of three images: a screenshot of the source code to Pokémon Red, highlighting a label called VunixMachine; a screenshot of Pokémon Red with the player using a PC in a Pokémon Center, saying "RED turned on the PC.", and an infobox from Wikipedia featuring a photo of a HP 9000 workstation running System V.
The PC in every Pokémon Center allows you to connect to Bill's and Prof. Oak's computers over the network, just like a workstation connected to the Internet in the early days. The source code to Pokémon Red (1996) implies we are using System V UNIX.
Similarly, it's rather common to distribute ROM hacks as patches, but my unpopular take is that it still clearly constitutes a derivative work and is not permitted by strict interpretation of copyright law...

It even crossed cultural borders back then. The Czech website where I got my Pokémon ROMs had it, and I recently saw it on a Chinese ROM site from 2000: web.archive.org/web/20000516...
Thanks for sharing these! For anybody studying these, ROM sites would be difficult to identify even in archives if you "weren't there" so this is a good starting point for research.
All that for me to listen to it and still say meh, PSG is better.

With age verification, we talk more about privacy and surveillance concerns, and some of us don't remember what it's like to be a minor, but that quote summarizes the other side of the coin. Personally I'm concerned about how sheltering children will make bad childhoods even worse.
History needs to be a team effort. Formal and polite corrections on each other's work should be normalized for the benefit of us all ^v^

I'm working on an English translation patch for the Pokémon GS Spaceworld 1997 demo!

The vibes (animations, music, sfx) remind me of Clubhouse Games (DS, also known as 42 All Time Classics). Same developer possibly?
In Keitai Denjuu Telefang, the currency in the Denjuu world is called chiru. We always thought it's because of how it scatters from the grass when you run through it. Guess there isn't much more to it still.
This is an awesome feature!
That's what I did in 2048-gb to seed the PRNG
I think they're buying and selling characters, not sonas xD seems some people just enjoy having a ton of them and coming up with different personalities and stories for them, though I lack the imagination. I also think buying adoptables is often more a proxy for supporting the artist than anything

Think I'm gonna go wash some of my clothes today (laundratory)
Today, I have conducted a full two-and-a-half hour interview inside a text-based virtual world from the 90s... and only at the cost of waking up at 6 am!
Yaaaay congratulations ^v^
Underrated work
Not only it's utterly broken on all clients I use, it feels like there are two disjointed implementations of the topics feature with different UI?? I'm still confused
In English, if you can't figure it out, you can always "wing it" instead! ^v^
I've been researching the early online history of transformation fans. I got access to the archive of a popular mailing list, and I skimmed it for themes and topics of interest. I was astonished to find a serious discussion on species dysphoria back then, and their comment on the topic was notable.
I contacted somebody last night with an inquiry about an email they had sent in 1997. I found their writing poignant and before its time, so I wanted to ask for permission to quote it. They replied positively. I bet it was unexpected! Part of my learning to be a responsible archivist and historian.
