You can defeat the Dream Devourer from Chrono Trigger using an int overflow

Commenters reacted to the Dream Devourer integer-overflow exploit with a mix of technical fascination and nostalgia. Several praised Chrono Trigger’s quality and soundtrack (acbart, Founderarcstone) while nubinetwork pointed out the elixir glitch is a common boss trick. sph celebrated the hacky charm lost to "safe" languages, and CodesInChaos pushed back that many modern languages still offer wrapping or exceptions for overflow (Rust, C#). A side exchange invoked the "Nuclear Gandhi" story: surgical_fire suggested such a bug wouldn’t happen, while ufo called Nuclear Gandhi an urban legend and said there was no such Civ I bug.

Opinion divides sharply over Chrono Cross versus Chrono Trigger. falsaberN1 argued Cross is a spiteful, canonized fanfic that undermines Trigger’s legacy, citing plot and character grievances. By contrast debo_ said they preferred Cross for its menacing, atmospheric tone and dismissed narrative primacy in games, while noodletheworld defended story as essential and sided with Trigger. The conversation mixes technical curiosity about glitches with entrenched fan debates about sequel fidelity and whether story or atmosphere matters more.
