All you really need to know about me is I’m a Super Mario RPG stan, and I’m forever grateful for the nearly-perfect remake on Switch.
Super Mario RPG running on an SNES and displayed on a CRT on the left side of a TV stand next to it running on the Switch and displayed on an OLED on the right side. It’s showing the same scene, Mario’s House, in each game, showing how faithful the remake was to the original game.

This went under the radar but new ROMs have surfaced for Nintendo Champus Challenge 1992 and PowerFest '94. These were provided by user Yaderize and are currently playable via the Ares and Higan emulators. See the alt text for each title screen screenshot.
Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992 - Used in the 1992 campus challenge event. Nintendo Challenge - Same as Campus Challenge but with a different title screen. It was most prominently used in the Battle of the Champions II event. "Super Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992" - A modified title screen that was used in "repro" cartridges produced by RetroUSB. It should be noted that THIS ONE IS NOT OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY NINTENDO. Nintendo PowerFest '94 - Two versions have surfaced. 10k and 1 million point versions for the MLB game.

Green aurora rising above snow-covered spruce trees near Fairbanks, Alaska. The lights stretched overhead in shifting ribbons just a few yards from my cabin on a calm winter night.

Bright green aurora arcs upward in the night sky above a dense stand of black spruce trees coated in heavy snow. The snow-covered forest glows faintly under the aurora’s light, while faint purple tones blend into the background sky filled with stars. The aurora curves and tapers near the top of the frame, resembling a tall, twisting flame reaching into the dark.

TIL the person modding Thomas the Tank Engine into Skyrim is an S-tier human being
Trainwiz continued: "In between working on my game and dying of various accidental injuries, I sometimes feel like l need to milk a particular joke until its inevitable demise. I will do this no matter how many legal threats, actual threats, black vans with the Mattel logo on them, or severed Barbie heads are mailed to me. "This is because I have issues with authority, particularly authority derived from intimidation. I kicked a lot of bullies in the nuts when I was a kid."

I’ve slept on it and have concluded my concerns about being a “reply guy” came from my autistic brain interpreting the term literally.

A guy who replies?
Oh fuck, that’s me! 🫢

Large language mistake

Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.

www.theverge.com/ai-artificia... great read from @benjaminjriley.bsky.social
Our cognition improves because of language — but it’s not created or defined by it. Take away our ability to speak, and we can still think, reason, form beliefs, fall in love, and move about the world; our range of what we can experience and think about remains vast. But take away language from a large language model, and you are left with literally nothing at all.

The AI Doomsayer and The AI Hype Man are the same person. Spreading fear of AI is just another way of tricking people into believing chatbots are more capable than they actually are.

LLM chatbots won’t evolve into AGI. Anyone with a fundamental understanding of how they work knows that.
"The people who lose their jobs won't have other jobs to go to," Hinton said, as quoted by. Business Insider. "If Al gets as smart as people - or smarter — any job they might do can be done by Al."

Even social media etiquette can be tricky for autistic people. The term “reply guy” gives me anxiety because I only vaguely understand the specific behavior that defines one.

I’ve unfollowed people who post about reply guys from concern I might comment on a future post of theirs and be labeled one.

LMAO the print on this Sega Dreamcast sticker that came with the @limitedrungames.com Dreamcast trading cards is flaking away after about… Four days of being on my laptop.

The laptop *does* get warm there, but this is pretty disappointing.
