I think it’s a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.
SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.
I’ll always prefer SML 1.
But I do fondly remember this.
I have a Samsung TV and it’s kind of irritating that it does this same thing. Any option you leave selected for a few seconds will start playing a sample
It’s frustrating to have to go hunt for a safe place to put my cursor so my TV doesn’t start playing something I don’t want it to.
The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.
It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.
Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to
Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.
I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.
My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.
Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.
One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.
That critical mass will never come because people don’t feel the data has been stolen from them.
Rather, it’s traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.
And to them it’s a decent trade.
Solution is stop using delivery services.
No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.
Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.
And then Brigitte was released and I ran around curb stomping chumps while screaming mace to the face.
I miss those days before they murdered my girl.
I never watched x-files when it aired.
I tried to watch it a few years back but only made it to season 2. Maybe it gets better later, but the show was so formulaic that I grew bored of it pretty quick.
Eh, I’m here to relax and have fun.
Not be told I’m a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.
A lot of people.
I argue that the feel of BotW is a return to Zelda origins. It’s the most any game has felt like the original Zelda.
There original Zelda game was a game about exploring a giant over world to find it’s secrets. The dungeons weren’t puzzle filled, they were essentially just combat challenges.
… It’s that feeling that you are setting out on a difficult journey of exploration across a giant world with no support.
Every Zelda game since the original has felt smaller in comparison because the role of the over world got shrunk to just a thing to connect dungeons.
My favorite is AlttP which I think has the best balance between dungeons and over world exploration, but I prefer over world to modern dungeons we got in skyward sword and such.
Yes, the early days when games where literally 10 bucks an hour to play.
I miss you, Cyberstrike and Airwarrior.
I’m not giving up mobile deposit.
Leave my house? Duck that.
I’m excited for it for the same reasons.
I don’t have skill in art or coding.
But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.
Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?
Everyone knows about it.
Apparently I’ve been listening to the new Gunship album too much, said I was in the top 1% of Gunship listeners.
Nope.
