  • I don't know anywhere you can actually sell it back to the network, usually they just give you credits that deduct future payments, so you can't ever get money out of it. But maybe that's only some places.

  • World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles

    Jump

  • Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.

    Looks like the technical term is "Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak".

    The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.

    These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld's increased processing speed and memory.

    Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.

  • Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time

    Jump

  • I stopped asking in like 2020 for the most part. Everything I asked was getting.akred as a duplicate even though it wasn't because someone believed an ANSWER on a different question answered my question (they didn't).

    Plus StackOverflow Meta has been a fucking joke for years. They removed a site from HNQ because of a tweet. Why are they listening more to random Twitter users than folks on Meta?

    And the whole Monica fiasco still has me upset.

    But seriously. Every time I asked a question on StackOverflow I'd spend like 30 minutes wording it correctly and looking for duplicates. I'd find things that were sort of duplicates and explain preemptively why they aren't. And every fucking time some doofus marks it as a duplicate. I just can't take it. Like it literally makes me so angry even thinking about it. They had a problem with their humans LONG before AI came around. If they'd fixed that problem they could've really positioned themselves nicely when AI happened as a boutique place for humans answering humans. But no, their culture cultivates assholes who believe they're following rules to the letter.
