The original Super Mario Bros (which turns 40 this week) is a bit of an anomaly: it got several remakes over the years that retained what makes it great. @marcnormandin.bsky.social on how every version of Super Mario Bros has its place.
Whether 8-Bit, 16-Bit, or Battle Royale, It's Always Super Mario Bros.

This is what I'm constantly saying with these. The games were designed and staged in 4:3, you do not need to add random edge emptiness just to make it be "widescreen"

Everyone's right about the horrors done to the kerning and the pixel art. But really I'm just looking at that widescreen bullshit, and you're all monsters for ever thinking that was the correct decision.

It's Marina Monday, if you haven't heard.

Hazelnut Hex is a recent one that is an absolute delight and is also extremely welcoming.

Radiant Silvergun is another Treasure one that is more "standard" than Ikaruga.

Bad news, there is barely any beverage talk in this one. Good news, Robin is open to her hand in marriage being bought. Oh, we also spend a lot of time talking about the importance of having conviction in critical thinking and why Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is great

playing a Pokemon and being upset the story is for kids is like sending back your steak at Applebee's. like, you know what you signed up for. it could be much worse. if you wanted wagyu you could have gone to a steakhouse. but the steakhouse doesn't have $5 margaritas - and your friends are here.

hah. hahaha. HAHAHAHA. imagine believing this.

Sorry, but the Young Republicans have always been this way. If you want to make a distinction -- the TPUSA Republicans simply were furious they couldn't be open on network TV about how they thought "Hitler was soft on degenerates."
amandamarcotte.bsky.social
For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

Naoki Kubo is responsible for platforming some of my favorite artists, like Hideo Azuma and Fumio Nakajima.

Lemon People was a lightning rod for one of the most vital artistic movements of '80s otaku culture.

Comic Lo and ilk would not have been possible without it.

The industry owes a debt.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Oh, you think this grimy, amoral social climber doesn't deserve a prestige journalism job that should go to someone who isn't dead inside instead? Guess what, you did a slut shaming. You did a sexism. You need to log off and Do The Work.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

"I don't hear her talking about women's rights, I just hear her talking about trans people." absolutely spot on about Rowling.

Carole Malone, "Youu can't say what women's rights are because you're not a woman"

Zack Polanski, "You're not trans are you. We can all say you're not that thing so you can't have an opinion" 🔥

"You can still have an opinion from listening to people"

The scene where the pink and yellow ranger duel over the last bite of cake in a coffee shop is yuri levels that few can even aspire to

I think as a society we all moved on too quickly from the time we got the Power Rangers movie where Elizabeth Banks did Toxic Yuri with Becky G. Like that could have been a real pivot for the franchise imo.
Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa menacing Becky G up against a wall in a really gay manner.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)
