you know
maybe it's just the fact that gifs don't support as many colors as pngs, which created a one-color area in the center???

Well. Now I'm paranoid about retroactive retcons happening without us realizing thanks to us not knowing its a *head explodes*

That oval shape is still weird, you would think the gif would compress the pixels to be circular.

[flame99]

Even if it was a compression error, FFS would probably make it plot-relevant. And deadly, too.

obviously ffs would use apngs because ffs cares a lot about the quality of his 2d capitalism simulator

Except the data is not scrambled at all and the player name is supposed to end up in the place where it does (it's just supposed to be overwritten).

1. Intentional scrambling is still scrambling.
2. Putting data in a weird place is still scrambling, even if it's a usably-sized chunk of data.

That isn't scrambling though, the data's fine it's just being read by something that shouldn't be reading it.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I thought I made it clear that I was defining scrambling as "data's being moved to funny places," while "data is just FUBAR'd" is "corrupted"?

This argument about semantics has little to no bearing with the theory at hand at all.
So who the fuck even cares.

Anyone able to link to that ER thread?
