@psychicparrot42 @gilesgoat I'm not patient enough to disassemble games myself, I rely on observation and mental reverse engineering - but luckily there are people out there with the time and skill to do it

Good list here - most of them are well documented enough that you can follow without having to understand z80 assembler or whatever

Giles was right, Galaxian is a quite chaotic - not really mathsy just lots of little individual decisions that give it complexity

Sir Terry Pratchett.

It has been 11 years since death inexplicably refused to give you back.

You still remain the person who has had the biggest influence on me.

Nanny Ogg teaches me to enjoy life.
Granny Weatherwax teaches me to trust in myself, and not to treat people as things
Magrat teaches me that it is ok not to know exactly what I am doing all the time, but to do things I think are important, even if those older and allegedly wiser don't really agree.
Vimes teaches me about determination, family and justice.

There are so many more lessons I learnt from the world you created, and I would not be me without the Discworld.

Some people are apparently claiming that Silicon Valley Tech Bros have consciousness, like normal humans.

As someone who studies these issues carefully, I can assure you that this is an utterly preposterous claim. Yes, they can mimic humans, but they are fundamentally incapable of original thought.

It's a prepared and rehearsed sketch, but some parts are brand new to the cast live.

It's incredible.
