I literally just looked up what JP pun that Curse move was originally supposed to be two days ago

Just trace over this one. No one will know. Unless they play Legacy

bfod 1:39 AM - 22 Apr 2016 I think there are now more articles saying ‘Stephen’s Sausage Roll is too hard for us to review’ than there are actual reviews of the game

I think the big distinction between Mario and contemporaries is where the cute funny things are. In classic Sonic and Kirby, you're the one doing all the funny things (running through spinning cylinders, snowboarding, shot out of cannons, etc) whereas the everyman-ish Mario is just there to witness.

To me the big loss in the New SMB games and onward is that the art style takes away from the sense of a coherent world and of happening upon funny things in it, and it all feels playpen-like in a way even SMB3 didn't.

To me the appeal of the classic Marios is about wandering across a world where it's not clear what's about to come up next, but it feels like it has its own internal logic.

For instance, that level in World where a koopa shell starts flashing colours. Or the level in 3 with lava on the ceiling.

You can't convert them to FLAC?

This is why playing MM first permanently ruins the previous game for you, through no fault of either of them

It is with a slightly-encumbered heart that I report that Twitter now requires you to manually turn off automatic translation for every single individual language you encounter, and there's no setting to do it en masse.

I was just browsing Twitter, and right while I was reading, it started auto-translating Japanese tweets without my asking and I had to click the "Show original" button to turn it off.

I like the acknowledgment that this enemy name is fundamentally untranslatable

GNOME would be so cool if they had simply renamed to "G-NOME"🧬. I'm telling you. They were one piece of punctuation off from greatness.

Thinking about software names with common one-letter prefixes… Apple's "i" is trying too hard to be cool. G from GNU should be cool like "g-force" but gets attached to and silenced by "n" way too often. q from Qt has a whiff of wrongness to it. X from X11 is downright ugly.

I've often said browser-side web programming is about trying to communicate between three languages at once (HTML, CSS, JS). Well, if you add JSON, two XML sublangs (SVG and MathML), two shader languages (WebGL and WebGPU), and WASM, it's actually much, much worse than that.

Kiddy Kong's skipping-stone water-bounce should have exponentially increased in height on each bounce until you could fly over half the level like the springboards in SMB Lost Levels

Was reading a really old forum post about the Wayback Machine, and one of the pages linked from it was this worryingly contemporary-feeling "you can just make a website" page from 1997 web.archive.org/web/19970110164754/http:...

Reddit post: Why is RAR compression the format of choice for pirates? Top reply: Cause if you move around the letters you get "ARR."

Thinking about how fortunate it is that when Phil Katz invented the most ubiquitous compression format in history, he called it "Deflate". Easy to remember and apt. Meanwhile, every compression format created after it is some substring of LZWSSMA78265.

lmao I've heard that opening riff before www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S4j...

No problemo

@heckmaybe.bsky.social Quick question, is it possible for the Lifeline vods to be uploaded to the Youtube site? The game came up in conversation and I wanted to link them, but it seems they're gone (forever?)

So you've run into that age-old problem: every time you mispronounce semicolon as "se-mico-lon" over and over, people quickly make you stop. But did you know that if you sneak into the wilderness during new moon, you can say that word incredibly wrong as many times as you want?

These oven gloves I've got are shedding a lot of their internal lining, thus upgrading them to "exciting gloves that make removing things from the oven an exciting experience".
