No no, it's in fact so gay that it flips the sign bit and becomes straight again. A Gay Overflow if you will.

It's like when Gandhi went from sucking off no one to sucking off everyone in Civ or something idk I've never played it.

How many bits do they use to store the gay?

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's old code so I imagine they probably used a single byte to store it. Probably figured the Gay value only goes from 0 to 100 so they could have -100 for totally Straight, up to 100 for totally Gay and still have some padding room. To be fair though the Devs couldn't possibly have foreseen the Tumblr expansion absolutely shattering the scale.
