First page of a short void stranger comic. A young woman seemingly afraid. Empty black squares floating in the sky. An ominous figure is seen inside one of them.

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:

you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

Thank you for being a friend

I JUST COULDN'T RESIST..." Panel 3: Mario: "I'M NOT SAYING EATING MUSHROOMS IS A BAD THING! JUST DON'T DO IT SECRETLY IN THE TOILET!" Panel 4: Zoom out to reveal Luigi is too large to exit the toilet. Mario must go urgently. Luigi: "I'M SORRY, BRO... I'M SORRY..." Mario: "IT'S ALRIGHT, JUST GET OUT OF THERE!" Please note that the original comic was already in Western left-to-right reading order. The panels are specifically numbered in the comers to indicate the correct order to readers only familiar with Japanese manga right-to-left order.

"Mushrooms are drugs" jokes are a staple of Mario humor on the Internet. Not even Nintendo themselves are strangers to this, with a comic in the official Japanese Super Mario World guide using "Luigi is consuming mushrooms secretly in the bathroom" as a setup.

She is now... a little less gormless...

yes i can in fact see that one purple building texture being resized over and over again to show the camera zooming into Derse when i listen to it

"oldie but a goodie" pisses me the fuck off. it's supposed to rhyme. "oldie but a goldie" or get the fuck out of my sight

The Tower of Druaga (Arcade)

Courageous Perseus (PC-88)

Dragon Slayer (PC-88)

Hydlide (PC-88)

While we're celebrating Zelda's 40th, I want to give some love to some of the foundational action adventure games that predated it. Hydlide, in particular, deserves more respect outside of Japan for what it did for the genre in '84 (PC88).

Note that Week 4 of BS Super Mario Collection is lost media. Only VHS footage of it exists; the ROM has never been recovered.

BS Super Mario Collection was a version of Super Mario All-Stars for the Satellaview, released in 4 episodes. Luigi does not appear in it. However, near the end of the final episode, before the final battle, a letter arrives in which he explains he was sitting out the adventure on a tropical island.

racing games were everywhere on the PS2 because they were fuckin cool as hell and fun and took advantage of track-based racing to create bespoke and interesting subversions of arcade and sim racing

liike it's not like the music is bad in any way, but it's not immediately obvious that when i say VGM i mean like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtRD...

i think this made me realize why, when joining a game jam group at my university a few months ago, i was looked at weird for being the only composer who listens to video game music... the perception of VGM right now is probably based on these AAA Cave Ambience 28s and not indie or classic VGM
