MARIO RPG HAS VIRGINITY???

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 6h

"Fresh", sealed copies of Super Mario RPG actually have a unique title screen. This screen is lost permanently on that cartridge after playing and saving just once, and can not be restored without tinkering with the cartridge or waiting decades for the save battery to run out.

New writing workflow, new post on the #blog!

This time, it's a super-casual chat about practicing shmups, and why I do it even though I used to avoid hard games.

For those who've read my big article on rhythm games, think of this as relaxed DLC.

I've seen some worrying posts from the online left about how No Kings is (correctly) organized by neoliberals and neocons with no real demands, and then (wrongly) dismissing it as unimportant or not worth attending

Rallies of this size against an increasingly authoritarian state are a net good

fps where instead of solving the "sniper is op" "issue" we just make everyone an op sniper and design the rest of the game around this

right now the shmup keys display you may have seen in a few videos from me is just a custom input overlay using that popular obs plugin, but the way that works doesn't really support 8-way arcade sticks just buttons and modern analog sticks, so i made this. may port the keys into this too

MewJAM @mewjam.bsky.social · 1d

in the longer term i want to make it so you can customize the window size and add, remove, and reposition stick and button displays + change what input to listen for so people with different controllers or two players together can use it, and put it out there on the net

MewJAM @mewjam.bsky.social · 1d

working on an arcade stick display you can add to obs! took a bit to get transparency working and i still need to make the buttons glow brighter when pressed and change them to be rounded instead of just reusing my key display sprites but pretty good day 1 progress :)

not to mention like, we've already had plenty of other eggman robots break free and become heroes or antiheroes or sacrifice themselves, even metal included... what more can be done in that direction? i think him getting reeled back into obedience actually makes him more interesting

MewJAM @mewjam.bsky.social · 2d

same with wanting him to defy eggman again, which imo kind of defeats the point imo. there is twisted irony in how the one iconic eggman robot that *doesn't* break free or speak is the one that looks like sonic. that has to make sonic feel super uncomfortable right? i really like that dynamic

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
