heh. Furby's code is 6502 assembler, just like the T-800. What if sky-net just circuit bent a load of Furbys lol.

A Furby without fur even looks like a Terminator. Sort of. Similar vibe at least. There is definitely a non-zero chance that circuitbent Furbies will enslave humanity and bring about its end. https://www.reddit.com/r/TIHI/comments/gid2pj/thanks_i_hate_furby_without_fur/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TIHI/comments/gid2pj/thanks_i_hate_...

I can't give you skynet, but I can give you circuit-bent furbies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o

From Wikipedia: > Circuit bending is the creative, chance-based customization of the circuits within electronic devices such as low-voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and digital synthesizers to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators.

    Wikipedia is wrong here. Although the term is primarily used for acoustic properties, it doesn't have to be. I'd agree with the 'chance based' aspect though.

  That was an awesome video. Never seen his stuff before. Also seems straight out of Disco Elysium.

If you ever took the fur off a furby you'd know it was pure sky net underneath

> Furby's code is 6502 assembler It's actually a SPC81A [1], which supports about only half of the 6502 opcodes. It is also used in some HP calculators.

  Sure. Makes me wonder how easy this code could be ported to run on the Commodore 64 though. You'd need a cartridge with the TI voice synthesis chip used in the furby of course, but it'd be doable I think. It's interesting code to read through.

On page A-287, it has a "DANGER SLEEP". Mod list #5: "When hungry is low enough to trigger sick counter, each sensor deducts two instead of one for each hit." He made it get sicker quicker when it was on its death bed?? And everything on the mod list is hilarious.
