You know how one of the rules is you cant change your username? well I want to delete this account and make a different one so that I can.
BUT THERES NO WAY TO DELETE ACCOUNTS?! SERIOUSLY, you really think i would beleive that?

So, let me get this straight. You register an account and ignore reading the rules. There's the rule against name changes, of course, but there's also rule 7: "Chipmusic.org's policy is to preserve the availability of all content posted, with exceptions made at the discretion of the site's administrator & moderation team (such as instances of spam, harassment, offensive material, etc.)"

Or put simply, we don't delete content on request. These both rules were decided upon because some people on 8bc trolled and harassed people and then got started on a clean slate by asking to get their ccount deleted or having their name changed. We didn't want that kind of thing to happen here. Of course there are no technical limitations that we can't delete accounts. We do that all the time with spam bots.

Now, if all you want to do is remove the long dash because it's tedious to type, or you pasted it by mistake, I'll actually do that. No problem. But if you want to change your name to something completely different, the answer is no.

For something like an 8-bit shmup I'd choose Trey Frey and Zabutom. (I hope for this to become true one day.)
For a modern 3D FPS, I'd do a post-apocalyptic game with a soundtrack composed by Hecq and vaetxh.

15 patches of a single square wave?  That seems like a shame, maybe you can add other waveforms through the firmware or something...

It's probably using a single digital pin of a microcontroller to output the sound. A shame indeed really, considering how easy it is to build a cheapo passive 4-8 bit DAC using only 4-8 digital output pins and a bunch of resistors. That way you can have a sawtooth or triangle or more complex waveforms pretty easily.

Edited the title."Never Pro-sound it" sounded like you told people not to do it.

Nah, not really. It needs to be plug in cartridge, press play. You could just send a cartridge with LSDj and your song on it, but then people could just delete the song. Not the same thing, you know.

It's generally a large-point Impact font in white with a black stroke on the text.

You can do this in photoshop's blending options for the text layer.

What I do is place the text, select the text with color select, grow the selection by a pixel or 3, then deselect the text; and paint the selection black.

Stroke is easier, imo, because then you can edit the text and the effect updates.
But if you do it your way, why do you deselect the text? A technically better way to do it is to create a new layer behind the text and fill. Then you could link the layers so you can move the text easily and have the stroke follow.


Hmmm!

For those with your carts, have you figured out the infinite derps code?

Yep.
Derp mode:
[555]<=AA
[2AA]<=55

Super derp mode:
[2AA]<=AA

(True story.)

Yep.

I think he could have been speaking in a rhetorical mode or been misquoted. I'm pretty sure he and everyone else know where the stuff came from.

In the beginning, no. No one really knew about it until That Day, and I think the blog author is trying to divide the story into time frames, so episode 3 represents what was known at the time, and tomorrow we'll know what happened then. Alternatively, he doesn'tknow/remember the evidence presented, which was by Matt (Kitsch). Perhaps we'll hear about that in episode 4, so I won't say anything more about that right now.

I think the confusion about the country, "a couple guys in like Germany or Belgium" is genuine on Logan's part. The guys who originally made the microcontroller firmware were two Polish students, but the matter was confused because the schematic was hosted by a German guy, Reiner Ziegler who has a site about Gameboy-related and other stuff. (http://reinerziegler.de/readplus.htm). Many people were confused about the exact country because of this, I think. Then to add to the confusion, the Chinese "Smartboy team" made a cartridge from the same design and hosted a page under smartboy.ugu.pl (long since defunct). I don't know if they did this on purpose to appear like they were the original designers, or if that's just the first free web host they could find.

Come on...

He's using it both as his domain name and Twitter name, so it's pretty official.

If you've ever accidentally connected the 9V to anything other than the input pin of the voltage regulator, you're toast.
