Not only was this an effective way to acknowledge specific situations, but it was also more fulfilling than checklist achievements.
When this was first really starting to become a sticking point for tournament rules, EVO drafted a set of controller rules that had a sunset date for SOCD specifics. Basically saying "a year and change from now, simultaneous inputs are legal and it's the developer's job to solve for it."
There was no shortage of evidence that he lacked the juice. No, Joe, that *is* America. It's kind of the whole problem. Institutionalists are of no value in the face of failed institutions.
I know that I've watched too much of @jparish.bsky.social NES Works at this point because I immediately noticed that Nintendo is actually acknowledging the 1988 release date of Pac Man for once, even though the actual ROM they're using on Switch Online is still the 1993 reprint.
I've been getting back into Super Mario Maker 2 this year and have put together a new 40-course super world. If you're still playing this game, then I'd like to hear what you think. ID: NFD-B3N-TXF All done in SMB1 style. I tried to capture "traditional" course design to the best of my ability.
Bangai-O is in the running for "worst" translation I've ever seen, but I think you'd be stupid to change it.
This is probably the magazine cover that made the most lasting impression on me in the '90s, from around the same time... except it's about the N64's *strongest* market. Every time I get around to updating my Everdrive 64 set, I'm always fascinated by how small it is.
They had it in big red text in that google doc. I dunno if I could find the original link (if it's even still up), but I did make sure to save a copy to reference for my own tournament rules as needed.
There's still an option toggle for this in the channel studio settings. No idea if they've done anything to the frontend to ruin it though.
I loved this one so much I screenshotted it. You literally can't *suggest* that a powerful liberal politician *might* be motivated more by hubris than by civic duty. Resetera is run by and for the sort of liberals who use "Dearborn" as a slur.
Frankly, it should have been obvious from the jump that Biden was not that guy. He refused to see reality for what it was, and he was discarded accordingly. "Nothing will fundamentally change" may as well be his epitaph.
Staunchly anti-Iraq War. One of 9 senators who voted against the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Pretty consistently good on bread-and-butter economic issues that you'd want a Dem to be. He wrote a whole book about how historically awful the Bush Administration was.
Virtual On OT tweaks HP on a per-matchup basis. Ajim is a glass cannon archetype who has about half the HP of a normal character but insane damage and mobility. In the Ajim mirror, his HP is cut in half from his normal amount. For some reason. He literally dies in one hit.
Looking at YouTube locking 3x playback speed behind a subscription and wondering what kind of sicko pays specifically for that.
Meanwhile, playing Odyssey often feels like completing a list of chores. Odyssey is at least self aware enough about this to lock its ultimate challenge behind a ~60% completion threshold rather than 100% like in other recent games, but it still doesn't prevent most moons from feeling meaningless.
I'm very critical of how modern Mario is encumbered by Checklist Gameplay. Mario 3 gave you alternative thank you messages from the kings if you rescued them while wearing a suit. It was a cool acknowledgement of a difficult task that didn't lock you out of anything if you missed it.
The Switch version struggles so much on performance. Maybe should've taken a cue from the Genesis games and limited the ring drop to 20 max. :V
Tired: what a cheap, bugged spawn point Wired: Eggman putting that 300 IQ to work
I think this glitch can be found in most versions of Sonic 1, but it's especially easy to pull off in versions that have the spin dash.
