Revisiting this NES reversing project as one of my side projects now that I can just yell at AI to do it while I juggle the commercial project and other side project(s) with it

If you thought you hated JavaScript before, meet:
for (of of of) {
....
}
Got this perverted idea from an article I read a few years ago pointing out that you can put iterators on Number.prototype
for (of of of) {
....
}

![Convo with GPT 5.2:
"What about if I install an iterator symbol into integers so that in one context it's an an integer but in another it's a collection to iterate ? Could I do for (of of of)?"
Thought for 3m 22s
Yep — you can make “integers” (really: Number primitives) work with for...of, but only by changing behavior globally via Number.prototype[Symbol.iterator].
Making numbers iterable (range-style)
for...of gets an iterator by calling GetIterator(value) on the right-hand side. Under the hood that goes through property lookup that wraps primitives (via ToObject) so prototype methods can be found.
So this works:
// Make *all* numbers iterable: 5 -> yields 0,1,2,3,4
Object.defineProperty(Number.prototype, Symbol.iterator, {"

I built this Renpy-esque narrative system by hand, complete with its own virtual machine, and had GPT pretty quickly slap together this debug view for me listing out opcodes. This helped me find a bug where a certain opcde was mapped to "undefined" but the VM chugged along happily consuming it.

One thing that’s different now is there’s virtually no shared foundation of reality, at least not online.
And that’s largely purposeful.
It’s all a bunch of engines to produce emotional reactivity, and we’re all parts of those engines—consciously or not—while also being subjected to their effects.
