Foss. they/it. I make things sometimes
It would get so hot running the average browser game I could put my hand on it and it would be physically painful. Exactly like a really fresh brewed cup of coffee

Don't tell me how a core 2 duo with 2 gigs of ram is still usable in 2025 because i use a netbook with a single core Intel atom and 2 gigs of ddr2 for fun that runs *even* the modern net usably. it is NOT the same when it's trapped inside a toaster and rendering gradient squircle UI for 12 years

Dosbox was about the only thing that would run in that piece of shit. Go ahead stick a core 2 duo in a compact aluminum box with no fan and 2 gigs of ram and see how far that gets you for the next 12 years. I hated that thing when it was new, i was still using it in 2022!!!!

it's like an anti nostalgia thing. I grew up with it and I Fucking Hated it. i think it's funny because most people who are into DOS or early windows are remembering it fondly from their childhood, but I just like the idea of hardware and software that doesn't fully suck. I did play dos games though

The author of Alice was a mathematician!! I think it's something worth knowing when you go into the book

I like that thing people say about the A button challenge of what the devs would think knowing the game has been turned inside out the way it has... judging by the game itself and how lovingly "programmer" it is and the fact they kept in the bunny and named him after MIPS i think they'd love that

"There are two adaptations of Alice i think are genuinely good and not terrible and they are the song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane and also Mario 64. and nothing else" <- absurd statement but technically not untrue
November 22, 2025 at 8:00 PM
I think more people should read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I grew up with the book and I think it's the biggest influence on a lot of the things I enjoy in really a lot of forms of art... but if anything it'll definitely make you like Mario 64 more

If there's a mario game where i would put setting and atmosphere easily above everything else for why I like it so much it would be 64. shoutouts SGI 3d

It's all stupid fun bullshit but also how weirdly real Delfino feels, they got everything they could out of the theme. I know people who don't like sunshine say the setting is its only good aspect but i love anything maritime and I still think it's second to the other stuff for why I like it so much

The cutscene audio is mixed so poorly you can barely hear what the hell the characters are saying most of the time. Mario goes to jail. The most stunning visuals and cleanest controls you will ever have in a mario game. They don't make em like they did on the gamecube

technically you can walk very carefully along the edge of the level. Is it worth it? No. This game fucking rocks

The fucking pipe in the lilypad level you think will bring you back to the top so you dont have to die, and it just sends you to the plaza and makes you do the yoshi shit all over again and the realization hits you that you have to get every coin in one shot. i want more games to do that. Please
November 22, 2025 at 7:36 PM
I get that I have very different taste in video games from most people. but what is there not to love. I know people hate the blue coins and the boats and stuff but i dont get it. I love every bit of stupid bullshit the game throws at you. I've 100%ed it like twice and it never stops being hilarious
