Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 14d

In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the staff credits text is always loaded into RAM despite not being needed until the ending. While horribly inefficient, this is inadvertently heartwarming as the games appear to honor their creators by keeping them in memory at all times.

people don't say "ACAB" because they think every individual human being that is a cop is a meanie. its because the institution of policing fundamentally requires you to be a bastard.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

"okay but the minigames. what do you mean"

to get all the medals in the HD Rumble minigames, you need to land exactly on one pixel.

it's some actual Kaizo shit if you want to 100% every minigame. deranged and sickening

SD @superdante.bsky.social · 1d

Also seeing the game demonstrate that the new HD rumble can play sounds on its own without the system making any noise was fucking surreal

you ever had rumble play the fucking SMB1 coin pickup sound before? because these can do that SOMEHOW

SD @superdante.bsky.social · 1d

also not shown in the video is that they have a 0.2mm gap on purpose, as that makes it harder to accidentally yank the joycon 2s out of the system (they can't touch the system and apply leverage when bent)

SD @superdante.bsky.social · 1d

I appreciated this explanation about the joycon 2s snapping in, since that was the first point of potential weakness everybody thought of when the system was revealed

used that best buy code last month to get welcome tour for free. it's a shame this wasn't a free pack-in because it does have a lot of interesting stuff about the system in it, plus some really fucking evil minigames (if you wanna 100% them)

Screenshot of Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. The photo shows a quiz question on the Joycon 2 reading "The HD rumble 2 feature produces sounds by shaking what, exactly?"

The possible answers are:

A soft plate

The Joy-Con 2 controllers

The hand of the person holding a Joy-Con 2 controller

The very foundations of our understading

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."
