Hey I don't usually announce streams on Mastodon but starting RIGHT THIS SECOND me, and Miguel who made They Bleed Pixels, and Christine who made Digital and Analogue, and our friend Parrish are gonna be streaming Nintendo's bizarre five screen game experiment Four Swords Adventures and I'm excite. We'll have a GBA cam. U should watch, using the Internet https://twitch.tv/spookysquidgames

I take solace in the fact that at least NOP wound up being an "unlucky 13". An unlucky hex, that is

Update: It's now been explained to me I misread the meaning of "OP-IMM" in this table, and actually RISC-V intentionally defines 0x0 to be an illegal instruction (for safety—so if you execute uninitialized memory you know immediately) and NOP is actually 0x13. (OP-IMM is 0x10, ORed with 0x3, the code for "standard 32-bit instruction space".)

This makes sense, but part of me is sad NOP is so arbitrary. It would have been so cool if they'd found an excuse to make 0x0 be illegal and 0x1 be NOP.

RISCV spec: We canonically define the NOP as being 32 bits all zeroes, but this coincidentally happens to be the encoding for "add 0 to register 0".

ME: ** Cheering, just goes fuckin nuts **

We are doing to watch "Patlabor" now. I am excited

@mcc I maybe wouldn't REALLY mind abruptly getting kicked off Twitter if it weren't that I have a lot of content on there I want a durable record of, and the "we email you an archive" feature hasn't worked for me since like… year three

I guess I have been banned from Twitter. When I go to Twitter.com all I get is this screen. I do not want to give them a phone number so maybe I am just banned?

The screen before this one said that I was displaying "robot like behavior". There was no explanation of what this meant. I wonder if I am in trouble for using a fake User Agent string to force the old Twitter design.

Hey I was interviewed on episode 22 of the podcast "Setting the Record Queer" with Kaylee and Alexis (the latter of whom streams on Twitch as protomagicalgirl) if you would like to listen. The subject of the interview was VR GAME DEVELOPMENT. https://player.fm/series/setting-the-record-queer/ep-22-vr-game-development-with-andi-mcclure

Is there a trick to posting videos to Mastodon from mobile (Android)? I'm trying to post a video but it keeps just… doing nothing, and several minutes later dropping the video in my Drafts. I don't get an error or anything.

I assume it wants the video reencoded or shortened but I don't know what it wants or how to do it on Android

Interesting graphics library bug. This is supposed to be a simple 7x7 grid with a red triangle on top. (If the red triangle is removed, the grid draws normally without the strange additional vaporwave animation.)
