They were dull orange and riveted in 1 and 3, and yellow and rivetless in SMW and the All-Stars remakes. It wasn’t until the original NSMB that the standard yellow-with-rivets look was established. Source: https://www.mariowiki.com/Gallery:%3F_Block#Sprites_and_models

Not only were there no ? blocks in Super Mario 64, the bright yellow riveted look is a New Super Mario Bros era invention. Literally unplayable-with.

The mass habituation of children into an inevitable future in which liquid assets are a luxury exclusively available to the ruling class, while they themselves are only able to survive by ‘consenting’ to payment in scrip for their labour.......you absolutely love to see it

Extensibility and ease of access to custom content. Think Minecraft but with a server browser and deep native support for scripting/custom assets. As far as I’m aware there isn’t really a base roblox “game”; it’s all about the user-created experiences.

extremely daily show voice Guys Maybe If We Base Our Praxis On Appealing To The Sensibilities Of Reactionaries And Only Do And Say Things That They Find Unequivocally Palatable Maybe They’ll Finally Understand That They Are Mistaken About Their Ideas That They Have

“Pointing out that this guy knowingly associates with neonazis is an association fallacy” lmao ok dogg

Karl Jobst was one of the guys who got outed in those discord leaks nodding along with his best bud and open white nationalist rwhitegoose, not sure kotaku should be boosting him

Not All Straights, But Absolutely This Fucking Guy

You’re giving them way too much credit if you think they’re telling the truth when they say they believe that’s what it means, tbh. Most of these people aren’t mistaken, they’re just assholes trying to escape accountability.

It’s an appeal to that old cynical discourse of minorities agitating for equitable treatment necessarily meaning they want ‘special’ rights or some other kind of undue identity-based privilege (“gays already have equal rights; they’re just as free to enter a heterosexual marriage as everyone else!”). I’m convinced…

ngl this whole thing sounds like a miserable parody of freemium persistent games and the insane hoops players are forced to jump through in order to successfully “Have Fun”

I remember being pissed off at the cynical and ultra grindy direction GTAO was going in when the (heavily delayed) update that introduced heists came out, and I haven't touched it since. And having just looked it up... good lord, that was six years ago. Do they have a substantial player base of whales who keep buying…

Bring back the NES consoles from GCN AC and let us play Switch Online games together with visitors imo

Where am I supposed to put my pocket watch, though?

“Pro-life” people say that there is zero reason for abortion, ever, full stop. Any that don’t are outliers.

If it can’t be used standalone, it’s a wasted opportunity. The VR landscape absolutely needs a Quest competitor and it's troubling that there aren't any on the horizon. Being able to run last-gen PSVR games natively would be such a huge get.

Curiously, the landscape still retains the sprite aesthetic from the originals, but the characters themselves have 3D graphics. I’m not sure that it looks very good on the overworld, but that’s a matter of taste.

Worth mentioning that this oddity only surfaced a few years ago after being considered lost media for decades

Realistically, I’m probably never gonna have the time to play this, but it’s dope that the translation finally came out; I was under the impression progress had stalled years ago.
