Warm yourself by the virtual fireplace in this cosy 16-color EGA #Christmas scene. No MS-DOS or floppy 💾 drive required. Thanks to software preservation, it's still crackling on the Internet Archive.

The future may be uncertain, but no matter what happens, always remember that the penguin footstep sound in Super Mario 64 is sourced from a car alarm

A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one…
A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

In Super Mario Sunshine, each plank of the Pianta Village bridge has separate collision for an unknown reason. This causes microscopic invisible gaps to form between the planks that extremely unfortunate players can slip through and die. Below is a compilation of such cases.

Here’s part 2 of this week’s three-part Better Offline NVIDIA special. I walk you through the history of Enron, how it differs from NVIDIA, and how growth-desperation led big tech to waste hundreds of billions of dollars on GPUs.

Experimental Post: Crump's Snack
In a battle in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Lord Crump runs backstage to seemingly eat a snack of 5 unseen items. I speculate on what his meal could have been, based on the amount of HP he recovered.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

There is a humorous error message in Paper Mario: Color Splash. When loading Luigi, the game does a quick "bone check" to see if his position is defined. If he fails his bone check, the developer console prints out "Luigi is elegal!!", likely a misspelling of "Luigi is illegal".
