Yup. 16 years ago as I was finishing high school, my friends and I would have a solid 2-3 month window of going to play in the snow on a nearby stretch of mountains. We’d go several times a year every couple weeks. Now, the ski resort there is lucky to have 2-3 weeks of usable snow.
My reaction reading the title: “wat….”
My reaction after 10 seconds of the video: “why are they….”
My reaction after learning about the performance improvements and beginning of mod support: “Why didn’t they just say that part?”
As much as I want this game to improve and succeed…. This ain’t the way chief.
Doesn’t help that El Niño is currently in effect, with the next several seasons predicted to be affected by it. Muddies the data, so to speak.
Having not watched this yet, I’m going to guess that this failure state basically results in the processor simply incrementing its address pointer indefinitely which will inevitably just loop across the whole contents of the rom, along with current state ram data? Outputting audio might be a bug in this case, a hardware bug that is. Unless it was an esoteric way for the system designers to debug using oscilloscopes? Maybe it was meant to just dump ram contents but ended up hitting all rom addresses? Either way, I’m excited to watch this when I get some more time and just wanted to speculate based on the short description of the video I read.
Just use accelerometers to measure specific gravity and have time be a function of that measurement. Problem solved!
