If you thought my other tangents were complicated, just wait. Okay so, Mario's position is a floating point number, but it's converted to a short when the game uses it to test for collision with floor triangles. In other words, Mario's position can basically be any decimal number, but, it's converted to an integer between negative 32,768 and positive 32,767 inclusive. So, any fractional portion is truncated, and numbers too big or too small are moved into this range using the modular operator. Graphically, that means that the position used for floor detection is always inside of this box, so if Mario is in that box, then his actual position and the position used for floor detection are the same albeit off by a single fraction due to the truncation. But, if Mario leaves that box, then his actual position and the position used for floor detection will separate since the position for floor detection will just loop back around to remain in the original box.

So me and my girlfriend have been together for some time and we’ve had a smooth relationship without many issues but recently something came up. We had just gotten home from the store and as we’re walking to the door there was a big slug on the steps.
We stopped to examine it and then suddenly she started laughing and saying that it looked like my thing. My girlfriend is pretty silly generally so I didn’t really think anything of it. But ever since then for the last few months she keeps saying my thing looks like a slug.
It just started bothering me that she kept saying that and it would always completely kill the mood when she referred to it as “a cute little slug”. I decided to explain to her that it felt demeaning one day and we ended up getting into a pretty big argument about it.
Now she’s mad at me and we haven’t made up. She says that it was funny and that I’m taking it too seriously. She says I’ve taken it too far and it’s just because of my “fragile masculinity” that I feel this way. I understand that maybe I’m being sensitive but it just feels weird that she says that. I would much rather she said like, that it was a powerful snake or something.
