I think it requires touching a file on the server, no matter what.

Oh snap, I didn't see that there were already two threads on the matter.

Well, here's thread #3 I suppose.

(This is a test of the emergency broadcast system and also to see if it happens to me too)

Edit: It didn't happen to me just now, so I wonder what happened?

Please, I'm begging you. In content.css , for .codebox code , please eliminate or override the property max-height . I have no idea why the default behavior of the code box is to restrict how many lines you can see at once, was there ever a use case which required this? It's especially painful for a...

Hah! I think he would've appreciated that.

Though, instead of kicking you out of his lab, he'd actually invite you in.

You're using lda (nn), Y (Indirect Y addressing) but I think you actually want lda nnnn, Y (Absolute Y addressing). :P lda ($08), Y means, "I've written a 16-bit address in RAM at $08 and $09, take the address I wrote there, add Y to it, that's the byte I want to fetch." lda $9040, Y means, "Fetch t...

Writing to $2001 is allowed mid-frame, otherwise it'd be impossible to perform a mid-frame palette update (StarTropics). There are probably better examples, but Krusty's Fun House uses $2001 to add a margin around the status bar.

I think "rendering" refers to the PPU making its usual memory fetches in order to draw tiles and sprites to the screen. If both sprites and BG are disabled, the PPU will stop making memory fetches (and thus, will not be "rendering" anymore), but it still generates video (a blank* screen), the sync p...

Disch was a monumental help when I was learning 6502, and when I was first learning C++ almost 15 years ago. He's also the reason I use SDL, and basically jump-started a personal project I've been working on for nearly a decade (on and off). I can't believe he's gone.

A quick google around suggests that phpBB's Q&A captcha works best when the answer isn't something you can directly copy/paste from a google search. For example, admins are reporting that even super simple things like "Take the word 'dingus' and type the middle four letters in uppercase" work well. ...

Bikeshedding only seems to refer to wasting time on unimportant details instead of concentrating on the actual main issue. Since we don't have a main issue here that needs to be solved and is hindered by our meta discussion, I don't see a problem. A thread that otherwise would've had creative discu...

You all know what bikeshedding is, right?

How about this? The dot indicates nametable 1, much like in engineering where it shows where pin 1 on an IC is. Edit: These are non-graphical, so at any line thickness: Vertical Mirroring: Two horizontal lines, dot in upper left corner. Horizontal Mirroring: Two vertical lines, dot in upper left cor...

For games that can't really have intricate storylines, like card games and the like, photoshoots could work nicely as box art. So, for example, the box art for a Sudoku game could depict a cozy table with a Sudoku book open to one of the pages, some numbers filled out, and a pencil laying on it. May...

Oh really? Because if you look for "Adventure" on Steam you're going to pull up games like "Need for Speed." :wink: Makes sense, Need for Speed Heat is a racing-focused adventure game after all (it even has exploration elements), and that's pretty different from something like Gran Turismo, which i...
