I thought they were alternative domains for the same service... Regardless, I'm stuck in captcha hell whenever I try to reach them (I've tried switching browsers and DNS servers, no luck).

This is by design, the regexp syntax has been invented for write-only programming at the CLI, and graduated to ubiguitous programming language syntax because worse is better. The regular formalism is all about composability, and most langua

I'll add that, unlike what your parent wrote, asset reuse will be minimal, in adventure games, one of the reward for solving puzzles is unlocking access to new locations and thus new art. In this case, they may reuse some of the sprite

Re. color and wavelength, some of the colors one can experience are only accessible in after-images, not through direct retina stimulation.

What is it like to experience synesthesia :-) These are very good analogies (and possibly experiences for those who are natural synesthetes), but even then, that won't make the who doesn't have the corresponding perceptual modalit

Batching isn't just an optimisation, not having transactional semantics can cause bugs.

I wouldn't have expected graphic sex slang to be acceptable as a NH user name. This would translate as ~"eats pussy", where "broûter" is a verb reserved for animals feeding on grass, implying a hefty bush.
