Tried to make a car on Mario Artist on the N64 but this mode barely has any polygons and it came out all crappy. Look at this stupid piece of shit. Try to imagine that in real life.

This is pretty much just Faceball but online, because this game cannot be improved. You can download it or play on browser at @itch.io: andys-hat.itch.io/faceball-200...

My friend remade Faceball 2000, the best (and only) first-person shooter on Game Boy, as a free PC game so that everyone can experience the 16-player deathmatch mode without the need for link cables or dozens of batteries. It's fun as hell. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvX...

It's bizarre how close that is (I thought they were gonna do a bit about how violent the show is, but nope). I guess that sketch where they straight up did Sábado Gigante did well.

I think I'd be more into modern games if they had this feature. "Yaaay, you blew up that demon's torso, Maxwell! I love you!"

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 12d

The developers of Mario's Early Years for DOS customized the game for three of their children. Inputting hidden codes at the start of the game can launch it in a personalized "Marissa", "Ali" and "Josh" mode whereby the in-game voices address the child by name.

Back in the day, whenever I started watching a trailer I was constantly saying "Has it started? Is this the trailer? Has the trailer started? Am I watching the trailer now?" But not anymore!

Still from the Anaconda (2025) trailer with Paul Rudd and Jack Black looking at the camera and the words "TRAILER STARTS IN 3"

Still from the Dust Bunny (2025) trailer with the name of the movie and the words "TRAILER STARTS NOW"

The reason I can't buy this bootleg NES shaped like a laptop with a built-in LCD screen is that I already own a different, much uglier bootleg NES shaped like a laptop with a built-in LCD screen, without the fake Windows aesthetic. At least I can confirm it comes with all the classics.

A bootleg NES (famiclone) console shaped like a laptop, with a working keyboard at the bottom section and tacky, very '90s artwork on the top section, showing glamour shots of the console itself from different angles. In the middle of the artwork is a small built in LCD screen, exactly like the ones in "brick game" bootleg handheld consoles. A famicom-sized multicart is inserted on the slot over the keyboard.

Close up on the LCD screen from the previous photo, which is now on and shows a "title screen" saying "99 IN 1" in Tetris-like bricks.

The LCD screen now shows a simple racing game with carts made out of Tetris-like bricks.

The LCD screen now shows a Breakout-type game made out of Tetris-like bricks.

I don't know what the hell they do with the extra four buttons on NES games (turbo and EXTRA turbo?) but yeah these rule

Photo of Mega Drive-style 6-buttoncontrollers actually belonging to a bootleg NES, plus some cables.

Plus, it Help you Learn the Important Computer Skills !

Back of the console box from the previous post, showing some photos of the console and accessories (plus a lightgun not present in the previous photos) and broken English descriptions, plus two taglines in larger font: "MEGA BOOK my first computer !" in the middle and "Help you Learn the Important Computer Skills!" at the bottom.

Browsing a local auction site and it's taking all of my willpower not to buy this bootleg NES shaped like a laptop, complete with a fake Windows "screen" AND a working Tetris-style LCD game embedded in the middle. I can't imagine a more elegant console design.

A Mega Book 9800-AX famiclone console beside its own box and accessories (cables, Genesis-shaped controllers, a bootleg Famicom multicart). The console is shaped like a small laptop, with a keyboard on the bottom, under the Famicom cartridge slot, and detailed artwork on the top lid making it look like a screen with an early Windows-style interface open.

Close up on the fake Windows screen from the previous photo. It shows MS Paint-style icons, a calculator, font selection, and descriptions for the keyboards' functions. In the middle of the fake screen there is a real LCD screen, exactly like the ones found in bootleg Tetris-type block games.

Started making a short Mario Artist: Talent Studio animation just to teach myself how to actually use this thing (as opposed to recycling the sample movies) and got a little carried away. Can you believe the N64 has the raw processing power to produce something so beautiful? youtu.be/vSdcCOhndJE

Just read that Bowser quit Nintendo. Gonna assume it happened under the exact circumstances of this 2019 comic.

Panel 1
Bowser with an evil smile.
BOWSER: MWAHAHA! YOU PESKY PLUMBERS! I'M GONNA MASH YOU LIKE VEGETABLES! MMM!

Panel 2
Luigi with his hand over the shoulder a distraught Mario.
LUIGI: Dude. His wife is in a coma.

Panel 3
Bowser looks sad.
BOWSER: Oh shit, I-I didn't know. I'm so sorry. I couldn't have known. How could I have-- I swear to you, I didn't mean it like that, man. I swear.

Panel 4
Mario looks angry.
MARIO: Yeah well, this wouldn't have happened if you were more considerate in general. Everyone has their struggles. The Goombas you mistreat, the Toad you crush... they're all going through something!

Panel 5
Bowser's eyes begin tearing up.
BOWSER: So am I.

Panel 6
Mario and Bowser embrace.

Happy 40 years and 10 days or whatever to Super Mario Bros.. Here's a Mario comic I don't think I'd posted here.

Panel 1
Mario: Luigi! I'm-a here! Why did you call me? Did the Princess get kidnapped by the evil Koopa?

Panel 2
Luigi: No. It's... it's Gorbachev. He just announced on the radio that Soviet Union will dissolve. The dream is dead, bro.

Panel 3
Mario (distraught): What?

Based on this "Madeline on A Link to the Past" sprite by Jam, adjusted for the BS-X palette: alttp.mymm1.com/sprites/?met... (ALTTP and BS-X sprites are actually pretty similar, so I only had to cheat a little)

Been playing around with Satellaview sprite hacking, so to celebrate Celeste being ported to SNES (yes, really: john-smit.itch.io/celeste-snes...) and aired on the Satellaview+ revival, I've added another resident to the hub town. No dashing/repeatedly dying in there, sorry.

I was about to apply an angry filter on the baby face sun from Teletubbies but I see you beat me to it

Maxwell Yezpitelok @mrmxy.bsky.social · 17d

The humongous burning brains in space can peek into our insignificant consciousnesses via quantum entanglement and know what we're thinking, or what we call thinking. How could they feel anything other than disgust? The sun is aware and it hates you.

Maxwell Yezpitelok @mrmxy.bsky.social · 17d

The sun is aware. Particles have a basic form of consciousness; the brain is a cluster of entangled particles forming a higher one; stars are even bigger clusters forming even higher minds (in a very literal but also figurative sense).

Maxwell Yezpitelok @mrmxy.bsky.social · 18d

This is a very good point. But also, the sun is aware. The sun is aware and it hates us.

Jason K Pargin, author @jasonkpargin.bsky.social · 20d

In the old days, you'd occasionally run into somebody totally normal who had one utterly insane belief, like a co-worker who just causally says he thinks the sun is alive. Social media is like if we extracted all of those individual bits of madness, cooked them into a stew and ate it for every meal.
