Meanwhile I'm sat here with 2.3k posts. I don't know how I reached that many.

I remember when you posted once a month but made 50 posts at a time

Oh yeah, that was hard to keep up with in the end.

I generally post like 4 posts at a time and sometimes 15+ a day but it takes me ages to catch up with everything sometimes.

In 8th grade, I got a fancy Ti32 scientific calculator. I laughed at all the people who were still stuck with 4 function calculators and walked around like I owned the place. I got a ti84 for the next year but preferred my less complex 32.
The summer before my Freshman year I started learning how to use my ti84. By the end of the summer I was good enough at it to use it as my main calc.
My freshman year I laughed at all the people who were stuck using scientific calcs and walked around like I owned the place. I tried to program basic at the end of the year but it was too hard.
The summer before my Sophomore year, I practiced and learned enough about basic to use it.
My Sophomore year, I got really good at basic. I laughed at all the people who had no idea how to program it and walked around like I owned the place. I tried to learn Axe, but it was too hard.
The summer before my Junior year, I practiced and learned enough to use Axe instead of basic.
My Junior year, I became a master at Axe. I laughed at all the people using basic and walked around like I owned the place. I tried to learn ASM, but it was too hard.
This summer I have practiced using ASM and am good enough at it to use it as my main programming language...

I just realized this parallelism. I was kinda of creeped out by it...
Where next? I am looking at getting an Nspire for college, and will certainly laugh at all the people using 84's...

That was common on calc sites or at school back in the days where people with TI-85/86 calcs were laughing at 83+ users or when 83+ users laughed at TI-80 users. Same with TI-89. It wasn't as common at my school, though, but it did happen. I was not one of the people who laughed at others, though.

Anyway I hope you don't single out people with inferior calcs or who use BASIC on forums, though (since that would be against the rules)

Of course not! I've become better at blending the languages. Solver uses ASM Axe and basic, and wouldn't without any of them.
I would be more than happy to discuss any of the languages.

If I used ASM I would probably just use a BASIC launcher with multiple ASM files for very elaborate and massive games. Also I heard that it's very hard to make a math program that uses floating points in pure ASM without relying on OS calls, ROMCalls or bcalls.

I didn't bother using any Asm math... Was way to hard. Much simpler to launch a basic program and install an error handler.
I can't find any good way to get around the size problem. I have to copy it into ram...
I suppose this will have to go on hold until I become better at ASM. I guess that's a benefit of working on 4 different projects at once.
