I want Epic to win, but I don't mind if they suffer in the meantime.

I hope iOS users get unrestricted access just in time for Fortnite's business model to become illegal.

It provides no reliable remedy. Without knowing why this address won't work, you can never be sure the next will work.

Literally how.

You better pirate at least 20% domestic content, or they'll come for bittorrent next!

"By your logic" is never followed by your logic, but "This you?" never misses.

Do you see a clutch?

Don't need eight billion parameters to go "But why do you want that?"

I think it's intended for checking the same bit in multiple bytes. You load the mask instead of the data.

So much 6502 ASM involves turning your brain inside-out... despite being simple, clever, and friendly. Like how you can't do a strided array sensibly because there's no address register(s). There is no "next byte." Naively, you want separate varied data at the same index is separate arrays. Buuut because each read address is absolute, you can do *(&array+1)[n], for free.

What I really miss on NES versus Game Boy is SWAP.

Yeah that one didn't work out great for anybody involved.

"For rats."

There's a cream for that.

Even on 6502, the BIT command is useless 99% of the time, and AND ~which_bit is the right answer.

Interestingly the Intel MCS-51 ISA did have several bit-addressable bytes. Like a weird zero page.

There had to be a moment, studying classical mythology, where you went "Hey, wait."

No. Stop that. In this specific decade, several major papers of record have been bought by assholes and jerked hard to the right.

Billionaire assholes recently realized they can just buy respected newspapers.

Inertia's a bitch, and they started before git existed. It was a dark time.
