In fairness, the difference between 30 and 60 fps is much better felt than seen. If someone has trouble seeing the difference, I have no doubt that a few seconds of holding the controller and moving Mario around would make them clear as day.

While everything you say is true, I really like the pixelly look of old sprites. I remember getting the Nintendo wall calendar every year as a kid, and it frequently went out of its way to emphasize the squarish pixels in all their low-res glory. To me, it was a vision of how games should ideally look, and a statement…

Excellent piece. Thanks for taking the time to do the topic right.

Better sell it while it’s worth something, then.

Only on the inside.

I’m not sure if it’s the “best”, but Mega Man 2 will forever be seared into memory. It was the first time for me that a game’s ending felt really special, and I still love it all these decades later.

Pretty much any and all healing/recovery items in any Final Fantasy game.

I’ve been pretty happy with the SN30 Pro. (Or the SF30 Pro if you prefer Japanese Famicom colors)

While I’ve gotten better used to the Joycon d-buttons, they still stink for diagonals. And that’s pretty important in Celeste.

It’s not worth fixing the Pro Controller’s d-pad. Even if you get it working flawlessly, the size and location still suck.

Man, don’t listen to the haters. Zero Escape is fantastic. 

Because for a lot of people, cooking is a hobby and not a chore.

This whole article makes me sad. The last thing a cooking blog should be doing is encouraging people not to make things from scratch.

Definitely a “to each his own” situation.

It had some cool ideas, especially the way that the final sequence twists itself around the first film’s ending.

I hope I’m remembering that correctly, but I think that was the gist ;)

I’ve always struggled with a fear of flying. A few years ago, preparing for a long flight, I read a book called Cockpit Confidential and found it helped a lot.

No community is monolithic, but there is literally no way to address social issues without some generalization.

Is this like a shtick you have? Give people shit, and then act all wounded when they dish a fraction of it back at you?

Whatever. I always get burgers at least medium-well, if not well.
