"oh yeah i'm totally this fictional character if she had this debilitating fucked up hormone condition"

An official Japanese 1988 guide for Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a small drawing of a Thwomp on the cover that, instead of the usual grimace, has a mischievous, cat-like expression. I have created a high-quality recreation of this Thwomp.

I really like both Mario Kart World and Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, but one thing I think Mario Kart World does particularly better, and honestly better than a lot of racing games in general, is how like. tactile it feels. your kart reacts so satisfyingly to every little bump and slope, every change in momentum, it's got such wonderfully springy suspension

CrossWorlds (and older Mario Karts) have vehicles that feel a lot more stiff by comparison, they tend to just glide smoothly along the track and feel slightly disconnected by comparison

it's a good example of how a bit of exaggeration can end up feeling more real and tactile than adherence to more realism

defaulting on a loan with tom nook has zero repercussions unlike investments from the U.S. so please stop slandering the bell and road initiative

they call me mappy the way i bounce on trampolines and open doors

> This ties in to one of the worst tendencies I note in my own students – the tendency to unthinkingly identify with the elites of the past, to see themselves as the knight, the noble, the senator. But not the farmer, the artisan, the shepherd, the petty merchant. All too often, I see students read the class-contempt of Roman aristocrats or aristocratic medieval troubadours with horror – and then unthinkingly replicate those very patterns of thought when they themselves are thinking about the past (usually in the foolish assumption that nobles were smart and peasants were dumb). That attitude – adopted unintentionally and unconsciously, mind you – is poison not just to the study of history, but also to effective citizenship and leadership in the real world.

the discord replacement i want is basically a chatroom with:

- ability to embed media in your message
- emoji reacts
- control over who's allowed in and who can see the content
- persistent channels you can bookmark and leave and return to (and catch up on) at will

screen sharing and voice chat are overrated

In Donkey Kong Bananza, demolishing all destructible terrain on DK Island reveals a shadow sphere that was hidden at the heart of the island. While the sphere is simply a darkness effect for the cave, it was clearly not intended to be seen like this and creates an ominous effect.
