Mario Paint is reawakening something in me
(I made this animation + music today)

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Trepe @trepeserafin Follow back VISA CARD REPRESENTATIVE YELLED AT ME I called 650 432 3200 and simply asked about the content guideline. I got: "We've been getting thousands of calls!" "You talked to someone? WHO DID YOU CALL!" "OTHER PEOPLE ACCEPTED WHAT I SAID! SO WHY DON'T YOU!!!" @Visa is cooked LMAO VISA

Mario_Tobias @mariotobias.bsky.social Follow Back I wish this was a joke but I got called a rapist today by a visa rep Think I just happen to be a call that pushed the women over Lodge 2 formal complaints after that and spun circles on the 2 calls and was about 25 minutes July 29, 2025 at 6:40 AM 1 like 1 ... Mario_Tobias@mariotobias.bsky.so... • 4m Oh and couldn't get a supervisor either they just hang up the phone ...

Echo Sen / GingerSid @Lonogear Follow Did what I could today, did some work, called Visa. The man was understanding, put me on hold for 25 minutes. When back it was a new person who was very tired, I then repeated the whole story and I could HEAR the sigh of energy draining when they knew what it was leading to. 8:55 PM • 7/28/25 • 109K Views 29 t> 524 9.1K 435

-、グルーピー @dismalwether.bsky.social Had a similar issue on the phone yesterday with Visa in which they were hyper agressive and woman woman even tried suggesting that I must've been buying illegal content before launching into her "im going to disconnect the call now" script.

Things are getting nuts

I was curious about what the games that really sent the DS sales into the stratosphere were, and realized that Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, and Clubhouse Games all came out within six months of each other

The second year was completely stacked!

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

“The trans issue for me is so novel,” Newsom said. “I'm trying to understand as much as anyone else the whole ‘pronoun’ thing.”

im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?

Donkey Kong Bananza

a behind-the scenes photo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) featuring three people, two of them in the martial arts stunt TMNT suits but without the heads. I recognize the one on the right as Ernie Reyes Jr., who went on to play Keno in TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze

martial arts stunt Ninja Turtles suits for the first TMNT movie (1990) were an absolute nightmare to do fight choreography in, but i have to wonder what the 1-10 pain scale was for a Golden Harvest martial arts actor?

like, did you see what Golden Harvest was doing in Hong Kong before this movie?

Something really fucked up for video game media just happened... BKinG, the "NoClip of China", got his YT channel deleted twice and gave up on YouTube.

His channel had dozens of documentaries on the development of all sorts of important Chinese & Taiwanese games - all posted with English subtitles.

How Nintendo is creating a new era of 3D platforming in Donkey Kong Bananza The team behind the fan-favourite Super Mario Odyssey tells us about the pivot to DK, Switch 2-powered environmental destruction and the reimagining of Pauline.

Had the great opportunity of speaking with Nintendo producer Kenta Motokura (who also directed Odyssey) & director Kazuya Takahashi about Donkey Kong Bananza!

Getting their insight on the first 3D DK in 25+ years was truly special.
It was especially fun to hear how zebras inspired the new Pauline.
