Today's game is Mario Kart 64. It's been a while since I played this, and today I had a killer sinus headache from whatever fucked me up the other day. I couldn't sleep, but I didn't want to just sit around doing nothing, so I booted this up and played some time trials.
Why time trials? I like just driving around and taking a look at different aspects of the game, and when you're having shells hurled at you every so often, it's a little harder. Like one thing I noticed here were the lights were flat 2D textures on the ceiling. I'm sure some people are going "Well duh", but I'm always driving so fast I never notice that kind of stuff, so it's kind of a fun detail for me to notice.
There's also this river in Frappe Snowland, which I just stopped to look at. It made me wonder where it went when we don't see it. I know at some point it wraps around and we jump over it at the start, but I feel like there's a whole bunch there we don't see, and it got me wondering. There's a free cam in the decomp I was playing, but I didn't want to ruin the “illusion," so I left it be. At least for now.
I also wanted to talk about this track's music. I feel like "snow" music falls into two categories: cheery and slow, almost sad tracks. Almost always, I feel like it's the latter. This one falls into cheery, though, which is a plus from me.
Then finally, I wanted to talk about Rainbow Road. I ended up sitting idle for a second while helping someone with something, and I ended up realizing that the Chain Chomps move. It's a little detail, and I'm sure others have seen it. But I never noticed they moved along the course. I always assumed they stayed in the same general area. I suppose it makes sense though.
Also wanted to talk about this track's music. In the past, I've talked about the length, but I think the music deserves a mention too. With the length, it feels like a long, winding victory lap. And the music reflects that. You've got your metaphorical "hands" in the air, and you're driving down the road celebrating. Once you get so far ahead of the other bots, I feel like they stop mattering, rubber banding or not. I think that's kind of what makes this my favorite Rainbow Road. All the others feel like they're trying to be hard and a challenge, but this one just kind of decided to be a celebration of all you've done. And I think that's kind of cool in a way that it accomplishes this.
I couldn't believe how many people bought that Harry Potter game that came out like 2 years ago. Not only was the game shitty looking ubishlock, but also we've known for years just how f***ed up jk rowling is as a person.
Having said that, as I child I remember protesting against the school trying to encourage me to buy Harry Potter at the school book faire. I get now that they were only trying to encourage me to read by suggesting a popular book, but I really didn't like the cult-like obsession around this book even as a kid, so I've had bad vibes around the book series since the very-late 90s lol.
Whoa is that true?
Also, I feel like I completely blocked this commercial out of memory until recently. I think I somehow glossed over just how strange the vibes of that commercial were because I feel like I would have remembered it more lmao.
Jeans, yes definitely. The material is pretty thick and it's a good way to ensure it's clean. Also, it prevents the metal parts from bashing the inside of the washing machine.
I'm not actually positive it's better for cleaning, but it's just how my mother taught me how to do laundry when I was a child. :)
Cute dress but, also, looks like she has greebles from a star destroyer on her hahaha
This is a correction anyway.
The idea it went up because Trump lied about "peace talks" when it was clearly (and obviously) fictitious is the crazy part. Hard to believe a bunch of people over the age of 20 decided that they could start a war and end a war under their own terms, despite an entire history of mankind proving otherwise.
How have people felt about this show, long term?
I've been putting off watching it because I'm super into the old show and not sure this can live up -- but maybe I'm willing to give it a shot as the old show definitely had it's fair share of problems compared to the original manga release.

I wish Europe would just embrace the fediverse. The techno oligarchs are not your friends and most of them are invested in the US.
Electron is the only cross platform gui toolkit...
If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.
I'm so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor--- wait, no, but they contribute code to--- hmmm ... Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?
The term "unalive" is so cringey yet dystopian that I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.

Thankfully there are still some games that have custom server support, but they're mostly in the open source space.
I really agree that, with the way gaming has gone, custom servers are going to be a necessity. The only problem is that people generally like the consistency and usability of match-making services which would also need to be open sourced, but I think there are probably clever ways to design around this (for example, servers belong to tags and users have to opt-in and opt-out of tags, and game master server lists are responsible for administering these tags.)
