@viv I stayed up late trying to see if I could just port it myself but 3 hours later I'm down in c# c++ interop heck trying to figure out why my call to kernel32.dll loadlibrary is failing with a code 1008 🙃

so bizhawk can't load luasocket and it turns out the reason for this (which has changed between now and the last time someone apparently asked about this in 2015) is that bizhawk switched to using NLua which uses kopilua as its vm instead of the normal Lua runtime... and kopilua has a bunch of 5 year old hastily ported code. and whoops the code that actually would load external dlls is behind a preprocessor directive that means it literally is as good as commented out.

in the latest episode of monster factory, their basketball boy is benched and the ticker at the bottom says GATORADE and then SUBSTITUTION.

my personal basketball canon is that when a gatorade substitution is performed, a player is benched and drained of all their blood, then filled with gatorade. this improves their performance for a short amount of time

@TipsyTentacle bleen

@lifning same

@alyx i agree. the way the combat looks also seems like they've learned nothing. particularly the zapping whip thing and the way the character slides forward while they're using it seems like something straight out of sonic heroes.

@grime_witch @lifning i did not like that hub tbh it was too punishing

@grime_witch i miss martin mystery for some reason

@lifning @djsundog opposite: set explorer.exe and every svchost.exe to realtime

@djsundog put in a gigantic max priority task for chillin'

took the day off work and it's really nice just chilling on a thursday!

too bad the thing that it took to get to this point was a steady deluge of work and overwhelming amount of responsibility!

@grime_witch @lifning I'm not sure whether this is real or operating within the fiction of this thread. I'd believe it tho
