@rasterman @matrix @ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz Supposedly, it uses up all the read/write accesses the system NAND can do before dying, but according to a Switch hacker, the game doesn't have special read/write privileges to do that, but Sw/Sh may be a contributing factor to Switch consoles bricking.

@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @rasterman @matrix Not really. GBC can only do 3 colors per sprite and you can clearly see more than that per sprite in that screenshot. At best, it looks like a Wonderswan Color game.

@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @rasterman @matrix It's not even graphics. They're just shit programmers in general. They even had to get Iwata involved several times because they were terrible at optimizing their code and data to fit on cartridges. Hell, Pokemon Red and Blue almost weren't localized because they literally had to have Iwata restructure the code to have ASCII characters for western localization. And this is not getting into game breaking bugs that in some cases brick your system. Sw/Sh apparently had a really bad save bug that corrupted the entire file system of your console.

I know TVTropes is pozzed as fuck but they have a section dedicated to Pokemon as part of their Idiot Programming article.

@rasterman @matrix If GameFreak was actually smart. They would hire those developers because their programmers are incompetent as shit.

@comfy @ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz Seeing how toxic The Sims community is makes me glad that Will Wright left Maxis.

@comfy Just wait until the completed collection comes out. There's always one after they're done with each installment.

@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @Jdogg247 But some white nationalists are marxists.

They probably grew up with programming. Home computers were extremely popular in Europe back in the 80s. Even more popular than game consoles. And from what I heard, many people programmed their own games if they couldn't afford them. There were even magazines were people could submit the games that they programmed. That could probably explain why.

@rasterman But I wish I was better at programming in C or Assembly, so that I could actually use it. I constantly have to remind myself that the games I'm copying were made by actual competent programmers and actually had to actually work with hardware limitations. But this isn't the wild west days of programming anymore, so whatever.

@rasterman .NET Core and Mono work on Linux. C# is basically a better version of Java. It's one of the few times Microsoft actually got something right. Just don't be fooled. It's not meant to be a replacement to C/C++. I use it for game development, but I don't find it useful for anything else.

@punishedorc @rasterman I'm a product of yellow fever, so I don't know. Maybe C.

@rasterman I don't know where the stereotype comes from either. I guess it's because most Indian programmer usually do freelance work on smartphone and web apps which are usually done in languages like Java, JavaScript, or Python and these languages are like playing with FisherPrice toys compared to languages like C or C++.

@rasterman Apparently, you can have custom splash texts via resource packs. Really this pozzed shit should be obvious after Notch was banned from Minecraft's 10th anniversary party.

@rasterman You can edit out the splash screen messages. They're stored in a text file.
