OH MY FUCKING GOD THE SWITCH 2 DOES IT TOO
Thew@amazingthew.bsky.social · last yr.love how the switch still dims the screen in the middle of every cutscene because you haven't touched the controller in five minutes. incredible minds over there at nintendo. if it doesn't affect mario golf it's not a real problem
extremely pissed off that I need to own this device but glad they finally exist at least
Unused graphic found in the files of Mario Superstar Baseball, possibly used as a placeholder for the title screen. It features crude sketches of Mario and Luigi seemingly made in MS Paint and the text "ルイージの兄野球", which translates to "Luigi's Older Brother Baseball".
just learned the wikipedia page for ZBrush contains this absolutely wonderful demonstration of its capabilities
rhythm games are cool because they're pretty much the only context where you can write sequels to songs
still feels completely insane that tech dipshits literally built the Chinese Room machine, like from The Chinese Room. like not as an exaggeration for comedic effect they actually built the actual thing in real life. also they think it's alive lmao
We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅
oh my god windows 11 re-added the ability to use a vertical taskbar, but they STILL fucked it up because you can't set it per-monitor
new atelier girl eats bombs like they're apples, new metroid has samus eating monsters, everybody loves the anime girl who drinks poisons. hey uhhh is there something you wanted to talk about or

The AI people also use AI to write their posts which is why their posts are stupid and weird
oh my god I just realized what this game looks like. they turned that entire boy into North American Box Art
I dunno I think if I were the artist tasked with sculpting a high-poly 3d brassiere on a fish I would start to question whether this whole "hd remake" thing was maybe a stupid idea
can't wait to see ganondorf vomiting blood in 4k ultra high definition sixty
hilarious seeing nintendo suddenly pivot to Four Kaye Sixty Hertz Pentuple-A Hyper Graphics Cower Before The Immense Might of Our $500 Gameing Hardware immediately after all their competitors destroyed themselves with this strategy and everyone's bored to death with the unreal 5 look
boycotting gta6 unless they forget to edit out all the uk-english expressions again. gta is supposed to be about new yorkers telling you to "park up" at places
when they add a character to smash bros they should be taken out of their original franchise fans chanting Remove Goku From Dragon Ball And Put Him In Smash
I keep eating all of my food and then I have to go buy new food
sneakernet trading the pre-2024 executables of various software utilities around like they're low background radiation steel
