I always heard that most of kanto used up the space they freed up by removing their debug dev tools, nothing about compression

well, a bit of that and a bit of the fact that error/sanity checking does take up resources and on some really low power hardware like the game boy you're gonna want those cpu cycles and rom space

i might've posted this here before and if so i apologize, but my absolute favorite example of this "resilience" and lack of sanity checking is how you can escape the bounds of a level and start literally walking through ram in super mario land 2:

Metroid 2 as well, since they're using the same engine.

Much smaller scale, but Metroid Prime Hunters (the multiplayer one on the DS) had a bug/oversight where using using a percent sign in your name, like "%a", would be interpreted as a pointer and cause your name to show up as whatever was in that block of memory (generally a constantly changing stream of numbers, but you could also find the text from ability descriptions or something). Sadly, even in the pre-patch era they were able to update the multiplayer servers to not let you online if you had a % in your name.

some of these early access games have great jank that I guess isn't a glitch since it's not worked out yet, but it's drat funny. timecoded to when an npc walks into the player's truck and the truck gets stuck around him and he steals it.

New Game it Out video, all the usual goofiness with weird construction and resource gathering but stay tuned until the end for some unexpectedly funny glitchy rocket shenanigans.

an underappreciated aspect of elden ring's message system is that it lets other players in the game tell you where the glitches are

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Will it last? Or will the devs kill it because it's amusing and funny and possibly useful. I've never played them, so I have no idea how they are

I have a discord friend who is just incredibly bad at everything (as in, "I don't have to pay taxes if I live in my van and cross state lines every day", "I nearly got lost and starved to death in a forest because I forgot a can opener/knife/map/compass/phone", "I put $5000 in crypto and it immediately tanked I panicked and pulled 3000 out, more than twice")

When our game group discussed maybe getting into Star Citizen, he cashed 300 bucks out of his crypto account and got a $300 ship sight unseen, proceeding to immediately crash it. Since I don't play I can only relate in-game stories secondhand, but as I understand it he immediately was thrown into debt for ship repairs.

On the other hand, his crypto tanked to zero so the SC ship turned out to be the smartly invested money!!

Same. There are NPC's with animations (albeit occasionally glitched ones), and you can buy things from them? They're further along than I thought

It happened nearby in a settlement later so i suspect it might be some sort of local texture/lighting problem. It goes away after a few minutes luckily.

You could harness that effect a bit more and it would make a rad enemy or environmental hazard, it kinda reminds me of those enemies in Control that look like weird clusters of glitching object model pieces.
