The following is a mix between a personal diary entry and some kind of poetry. While I don't want to make a habit of posting this sort of thing, for risk of talking about personal stuff too readily in a public space, I also want to escape the trap of microblogging — so here it goes for now.

I have been using RPG Maker for like 23 years now. You'd think after all that time I'd know the ins-and-outs of its eccentricities. Yet somehow I keep finding — or remembering — new and curious things as to how it handles some stuff.

For the most part these are things I simply never ran into because I've designed/coded around them, or I've compensated for these quirks without realising it. But recently I tried doing some things only to find them behaving in ways I didn't expect, which then lead to a rabbit hole of realisations. So I thought I'd share some of that.
