Fun fact: We know the size of the Pokémon world because Scarlet and Violet has framerate issues
Video games tend to do this thing called "culling," where they don't render things that aren't in use. In Breath of the Wild, there's no reason for Link to be able to see how many apples are on a tree in Hateno when he's all the way in Tarrey Town, or know how many Bokoblins are running around Hebra Mountain. Link has a radius around himself that spawns in people, enemies, items, etc, so that the player gets the full experience of a rendered world without the game having to keep track of 850 Hearty Radishes sparkling.
This is good.
Scarlet and Violet has really AGGRESSIVE culling. The devs knew the game was framey and did everything they could up until the last possible second to save on resources.
The player has a single square that's always rendered around them, which takes about 10 seconds to run across. Besides that, all that's visible is whatever the camera is facing; if the camera can't see it, it does not exist.
You might think that this would be good for performance, since the game isn't calling as many assets constantly. And you would be right, if the things culled were ALL that the game was trying to render.
We all know at this point about the memory leak problem the game has, where it won't toss garbage data it's not using. This is supposed to account for the framerate drop; however, if it was ONLY the memory leak, it should start out smoothly, then decay over time until it's unplayable.
So what gives?
This is the ocean.
It's pretty. It's got a tiny bit of reflection, some gentle waves, a nice gradient. A beautifully made ocean without repetitive textures is always nice.
THIS IS THE OCEAN.
IT IS NOT CULLED.
Look at the SIZE of this thing! Paldea is an ANT in the middle of this puddle. It's rendering ALL of this, ALL its sparkles and waves, ALL the time.
Now, this is usually the part of the post where I'm like "and because we know the size of the ocean, based on the coastlines and wind direction, we can figure out how big the rest of the planet is by comparison!" like I did with Breath of the Wild over a year ago.
No.
Another video game term you might not be familiar with is a "skybox." Basically, to give the illusion of faraway objects, clouds, mountains, etc, and to hide the black void most 3D games are built in, games will have a texture wrapped around either the level or where the player is standing. For example:
This is a level from Twilight Princess called Sacred Grove. You normally can't see the bottom parts of this, hence why it turns into a gray plane, but the parts you CAN theoretically see by looking through the trees are colored so you think you're looking at a sky. You can see the edge of the void down in the bottom right corner.
Here's another one from Twilight Princess. You can see the different textures that stack on top of each other, as well as the blue skybox that's centered around Link when he's in the area. You, as the player, FEEL like you're in a small part of a larger world, because the devs cleverly structured together elements you CAN see in other areas into the background.
More complicated versions of skyboxes, typically semi-circular, are called skydomes.
They tend to look kind of like snowglobes, because you do not need to render anything that can't be seen. There's no situation in which the player should be able to fall lower than the level, so there's no reason to render the dome into a sphere in the event that that happens.
In Scarlet and Violet, it would make sense for the skydome to end where the ocean does. There's no situation in which the player manages to go past or underneath the ocean, so even if you wanted a gigantic ocean size like they have, you don't need to use more sky to encompass that.
They did not get this memo.
You might be thinking to yourself "wow, that looks like the curvature of the Earth!"
AND YOU WOULD BE RIGHT!!!!!
Why is this here. Why is it so big. I can't even see Paldea anymore. What exactly was planned for this.
Clever readers might have noticed that I labeled this "Skysphere" and not "Skydome."
That's because it for some reason is a sphere. Paldea is sitting in the middle of a fully rendered gigantic sphere in space. For some reason.
Look at Earth. Look at Spain, which Paldea is supposed to mimic.
I overlaid Spain over Paldea and made them roughly the same size. Assuming the two to be 1:1, the OCEAN is bigger than Earth.
If I then take that size and apply it to the skysphere:
HI. WHY IS THIS A THING.
The skysphere is bigger than the PROPORTION OF THE SUN TO THE EARTH:
I will be taking this as canon sizing until the Pokémon Company comes out and either CULLS this monstrosity and stops forcing our Switches to render THE SUN, or until the Pokémon Company comes out and gives us a canon planet size.
7.8/10 too much water
So Paldea is actually just Hoenn...
these words were invoked for ritual purposes
It was believed that certain words had the power to attract the wrath of a feared entity called “the algorithm” whose assumed powers were as far reaching as they were vague.
You know, as this semi-arbitrary demarcation of time draws slowly to an end, I remain absolutely amused by the sheer number of idiosyncratic features of our time system.
1. It's pretty much universally agreed that the year 1 A.D. is a ballpark guess as to when Christ allegedly lived.
2. The 12 hour (AM/PM) clock is a relic from a culture that worked in base 60 and didn't have a mathermatical concept of zero.
3. This implies that at some point, someone looked at the clock and said "Yeah, this is archaic. So instead of counting from 1 to 60, we'll count from 0 to 59."
4. And yet no attempt was made to adjust the fact that the hour after 11PM is 12AM, with 12 functioning as a zero.
5. September and October are the ninth and tenth month, even though the names actually mean seven and eight.
6. Everyone knows about Leap Years every four years. Most people don't know that years that end with "00" don't have leap years unless they're evenly divisible by 400. This includes a lot of programmers, but fortunately, the ONE time this has mattered in the digital age coincided with a massive update of how software tracked years, so it got patched with the Y2K fix.
7. There also exist leap seconds. There will be one on June 30, 2022. These aren't to account for problems calculating the solar year, but for keeping UTC in line with International Atomic Time. Most people don't know about these at all. It causes drama.
8. A whole bunch of academics decided that the AD/BC system of tracking years was bad because Christians are bad, but they didn't want to actually change anything, so they just slapped a new label on the old system and called it progress, conveniently ignoring that referring to the "Common Era" implies that the default is to use a Calendar whose every detail was defined by the Catholic Church, and anyone who doesn't is "uncommon."
9. There's probably a reason for it, but as it stands now, the year-- which measures one orbit around the sun-- starts at a point in that orbit that has no particular significance.
10. The odds of any of this every getting fixed are so vanishingly remote that we will almost certainly be still be using this calendar 2022 years from now.
11. Companies that do business globally or are open 24 hours often have policies against scheduling meetings for 12:00, because people often get confused as to which one is 12AM. Technically, there is no 12:00:00AM or 12:00:00PM. They are "Midnight" and "Noon", although most people (and more importantly, most computers) treat 12AM and midnight and 12PM as noon.
12. The nature of the system is so goddamn convoluted that programmers generally find it easier to convert time into UNIX Time (measured as the number of seconds since 00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970) and then back to do any kind of calculations or scheduling. This is STILL a pain in the ass.

I really hate that pixel art is becoming associated with NFTs, pixel art rules
Maybe I should just make the opposite of an NFT, like I dunno, just a cute pixel art goblin anyone can right click+save for free and keep it forever and now it's theirs
You can put a hat on it too if you like
I’m totally on board. I’d like to propose a name for him: Nifty the Goblin.
I love it, I'll try to whip something up when I'm feeling inspired
...
...[BURSTS THROUGH THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN] HELLO, YES, HI, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CREATIVE COMMONS ART PROJECTS?!
...I mean, yeah, these sorts of opposite-of-NFTs Open Source Art things are something I dedicate a lot of brainspace to, and I actually have some suggestions!
Firstly, if you wanna do that, you’d probably want to use one of the organization Creative Commons’ licenses, to make the “anyone can use/save/alter it” official and legally binding, presumably one of their looser ones like CC-BY or CC0.
Secondly, honestly, this is a rad idea, something like Open Game Art’s various sprites but more as an art project than an assets thing, and i have an idea on how you could expand it further.
Basically: Fanpro but for Pixel Art. Which, for those who don’t know, Fanpro is basically this pool of character designs people contributed to for a while, released totally and utterly under a CC0 license, for anyone to use how they see fit! Basically the exact opposite of NFTs!
It ha a successor in ComPro, but that kinda sputtered out, but one based around a specific theme like pixel art might be perfect! If only as an F-you to NFTs!
...But yeah, that’s my two cents on that good idea.
Boosting this! The opposite of NFTs has existed for a long time, it's called open source and creative commons. And to add something, Kenney has recently released this little app called Creature Mixer to create little animated pixel art sprites: https://kenney.itch.io/creature-mixer It's free and it's terms of use forbid any use with any kind of NFTs for the sprites created with it.
so, with some thanks to the lovely people above and with no further aplomb ‘cause it’s just a goofy 16 by 16 pixel goblin, here goes:
Nifty is a little 16 by 16 pixel goblin who’s yours to own and do whatever you wish to do with.
Licence: You can copy, modify and distribute this work, even for commercial projects, strictly excluding those relating to or containing non-fungible tokens (so-called "NFT") or blockchain (related) projects.
I’ve included a blown up 80 by 80 pixel version simply because I know from experience that Tumblr messes up small pixel art, but I’ve included a version in the original 16 by 16 resolution. While Sprytile is my pixel art software of choice, any image editor should do as long as long as it allows for turning off anti-aliasing, the bane of anyone who’s worked with pixels.
anyway, that’s enough pomp and circumstance for my silly little goblin powered by spite, although I do think it turned out pretty cute
I know nobody cares but I made a bunch of Nifty’s because he’s just so cute
I CARE HOLY SHIT THIS WHIPS
Shhh... sleepy
hi i love Nifty so i brought him into the physical realm
pattern:
OH i literally JUST finished my nifty piece today:
It’s Nifty the goblin in a nice little forest home with a pet cat and some friendly ducks nearby. <3
gay irl
Anyone: “AOC said something that I think sounds dumb!” AOC: I did say that, and it is dumb, but I’m still right :)

The way this hole is sewed up
#*at beginning of video* Jewish hole?#*at end of video* Elsa? (via @counterpunches)
Jewish hole?
It was originally stitched into the Star of David.
I’m sorry but the phrase “Jewish hole” to refer to the pattern of the Star of David just absolutely slayed me.
Elsa is Jewish confirmed???
im absolutely losing it at this scene from the princess diaries. what the hell, lilly
