I was tempted to go back and re-read ddegenha's LP of this to see what the hell you're all looking forward to, but I think I'd rather wait  Sucks for your RL situation though Chokes. They at least gonna pay for the motel?

To be fair to ye olde programmeres, working in a GB cart's 256k (or was it 512k?) means you aren't gonna have a lot of room for things like sanity checks, or at least crashing gracefully. Back in those days, exception handling was for pussies

The worst ones are the known ones that require replumbing, by far. At worst, non-repros make you shrug and get on with other business; those other bugs are the ones that test you and your predecessors and coworkers' ability to not have written tightly coupled code, so you don't have to redo whole classes or whatever. Usually, in my experience, your predecessors, coworkers, and you... are found wanting.

Chokes, did you have any hosed music while doing this bug? In a game like the first Pokemon and many others, memory overrun glitches can affect music too. Music is stored as binary data just like everything else after all, so it's read the same way as, say, sprite data or code instructions are. So glitches that send the software completely out to lunch can cause stuff to be read in and played as music that isn't actually music. Same sort of thing as when your old NES cartridges crashed 'cos of loose contacts or whatever and it made screeches or odd noises or... basically a nasty loving cacophony.

Chokes McGee posted:Hi! Contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead. I know there were posts to that effect early on in the thread, but it turned out I was mistaken. I have to skip reading your The Lady thing for the same reason I skipped The Cat Lady, but it's nice that developers (and indeed players like yourself ) are willing to have a go at showing how rough things can be for the mentally diseased/injured/whatever the word is now. Not a lot of people realize just how much of a pain in the rear end mental diseases are to deal with, considering how drat hard it usually is for the victim to explain. (Believe me I know )As for the next episode, oh my god I just remembered what the next World has in store from ddegenha's LP. Sara is going to lose her last few god drat marbles isn't she?

I read that as Sega Channel, not SaGa Channel, and now I'm sad and nostalgic for my childhood.

Man I shouldn't even be smithing. Those were the best days of my childhood far as video games go. Dynamite Headdy, Pulseman, and Shining Force II / Phantasy Star IV with the buggy saves.

Chokes McGee posted:I've said it before, but one of the many, many reasons I smashed it out of the park on FFL1 is because there was literally nothing except some awesome set pieces and a gigantic plot twist. I could do literally anything I wanted so long as it didn't contradict the screenshots. I'm having a lot of fun with FFL2, but I'm not even going to pretend it's the same caliber because there's so much less room to improv. (Which is fine, FFL2 really should just be about four kids having Big Dumb Fun Adventures. But, it makes it hard to tell a riveting story.) Chokes if you're a fellow software dev then you know better than to ever declare yourself free of crunch time or mad hours, come on man

Chokes McGee posted:Hi, everybody! This thread's still a thing! In fact, I'm dropping an update this weekend. It's going to be mostly wheel-spinning and cracking jokes, but the twist at the end will blow your socks off! Seriously, get some straps for your socks and something to catch them! They're going to fly right off!! Will they lead me to wherever all the loving missing left socks go?

FredMSloniker posted:I had the Sega Channel back in the day, which was basically a game rental service via cable. The 'channel' was a constant stream of code, which a special cartridge (that you'd connect a cable to, then plug into the Sega Genesis) would interpret; you'd choose one of the available games (the selection changed each month), then wait for the code stream to loop around to whichever one you wanted, and it'd download and run. When I had Sega Channel, it would keep saves as long as you didn't play something else in the interim. So every time my brother decided to play Pulseman I'd end up with an SF2 save from, I imagine, one of the cable company or Sega guys who was about a third of the way through the game.  sega channel, you were way too new and good for your time
