    Something about Mario Tennis is apparently really infuriating to me because I keep dreaming times where I constantly miss AI serves and returns and lose games. Does anyone else have recurring dreams like this? I don't even hate Mario Tennis, just maybe the AI can get especially irritating since they have stupid reaction times.

    I'm kinda morbidly interested in what my local supermarkets look like. I don't want to risk catching or spreading the germ I can't exactly remember the name of, though.

    But just be careful, do some social distancing. We're gamers, hopefully that's not too hard. To me, not much of an adjustment.

    I just learned today that the British flag's red stripes coming from the corners are not running through the center. They're actually offset counterclockwise.

    My oc, Zuka, is on the foreground. Two of White Lightning's OCs got into a fight, and Zuka had fired his weapon (next to him) at their swords to turn them into flowers. They also tried killing him with a grenade launcher, but Zuka transformed its ammo into bubbles. In the background, there's Long John Spaghetti's OC, Chroma Key, filming the scene, and he's next to BabyLuigiOnFire's OC, Ray Trace.

    Sometimes the graffiti I replace on the walls are just expressions of Every Thing My Sister and I Remember and Love Including from Childhood, but Photoshop Tennis has got me thinking, "What if I post graffiti textures and invite other users to collage their graffiti with their wacky images? that'll be hilarious once I put it in GTA!"

    I'll probably think about it again once I get back into GTA V modding though.

    All of these "who will win in a fight" hypotheticals usually try to measure characters on a physical strength aptitude. There's more to characters than their super powers. I'd like to see more fights based on diplomacy, ability to make the most friends, general kindness, etc rather than who can dominate the other. Among villains or villains versus good guys, maybe measure on persuasion.

    Well Mario has recently been on globe trotting adventure where he's had several opportunity's to see the world from a birds-eye view from the Odyssey (not to mention the countless times he's been to space by now) and Sonic is fast enough to run around the earth. (and has also been to space quite a few times as well)

    So... they'd both likely be on the "Earth is round" side.

    Christ yeah the Big Fight movie spent a lot of time on Getafix's hallucinations after he gets smashed by a giant rock, as well as a lot of time torturing Infirmofpurpus, that one Roman that taste tested the magic potion Getafix slapped together while Getafix was still nuts. The book didn't spend that much time on those segments, and the film incorporates the Soothsayer book too? That's also weird. Oh and that film's the only one that's localized for the U.S. for some reason but that's an inconsistent one, where they remove lines and they add lines in some parts.

    I like the part where Getafix hallucinates Cacophonix's usually atrociously singing to seeing Cacophonix as a great rock star instead.

    I also enjoyed the Britain film too, though I think that was subbed. That one's closer to the book than the Big Fight is.

    I'm sad Uderzo no longer writes the comics but I can't blame him.

    He doesn't really write well compared to his excellent art. I took a look at Asterix and the Falling Sky and the premise of that one's already kinda stupid for Asterix standards, and Asterix is supposed to be silly. It punches you in the face with the reference to Mickey Mouse and too battling, I don't know, some insect thing that looks like manga and the pacing was really bad at points. The book doesn't develop anyone, the jokes are weak, the pacing is inconsistent, the characters take a backseat, and the messages are not subtle at all.

    The nubs on the back of Mario's hair are officially called "cowlicks".

    I assume that applies to Luigi's hair too. And probably Waluigi too.

    Wario has no cowlicks so don't ask me about him you morons.

    Favorite N64-era Mario model?
    LeftyGreenMario
    LeftyGreenMario
    I made a huge write-up on all the in-game N64 Mario models here, and while I like them all for their unique characteristics, I'm biased in favor of the Mario Party 2 model mainly for its wealth of facial expressions.

    i8JDO4J.png


    I'm also pretty fond of the Mario Tennis N64 Mario, especially since the game he's in gives him a bit of personality (voice acting, crying when losing, the opening cutscene, the trophy cutscene).

    Finally, there are the models used for renders in games, and I like them because they convey a bit of sassiness that the present-day Mario doesn't quite have.

    Wait this implies it's even possible to customize your profile pic? I figured the only data that sends is a number/variable and it corresponds to a pic on the local system. That makes me wish Nintendo allowed me more options from their IPs, outside what's currently on Switch. The fact that it's even theoretically possible for me to upload Fawful or Dimentio and they'll ban me for it feels like a big tease, IMO they should only ban for inappropriate content or maybe for characters they don't own.
    LeftyGreenMario
    LeftyGreenMario
    Yes, you can change your profile pic. People that did do this, though, tend to upload porn and shit (don't worry the link is just a psa from reddit) so others can see it when they play Luigi's Balloon World. This is why we can't have nice things I guess. But for harmless profile pics, I guess it'll send the wrong impressions to those that didn't homebrew the console and maybe invite curiosity to it?

    Paper Mario is a frequently proposed candidate for a Mario newcomer to represent the MaRPGs but there's been an idea floating in my head that I would actually like way more than Paper Mario: Mario & Luigi piggybacking each other as one character. Their specials are a lot different if you use d-special to switch who's on top; like u-special with Mario on top would be the spin attack similar to DK but with Luigi on top, it's a high jump. But for basic attacks, they're the same. They use hammers and bros moves to attack, and a final smash could be like the Mix Flower from Partners in Time.

    Imagine if Nintendo gave us a really great and new Mario Kart, hyped it all up, and then they turned around and said, "Hey, you better like this because you're not getting another one in 6 years".

    I feel like I'm finally mentally ready for super detailed anti-gravity mario kart. It was very intimidating to me last year.
    Wii and 7 are my current favorites though, I felt they captured the essence of classic Mario Kart while neatly integrating to more modern Kart. 8 seems to stray from the old formula and into something new entirely and I have to ease my way into it ^ w ^

    A fantastic piece of fan art by Angelo Furfaro that I found on Twitter (I cropped off the image credit because I had to fit in a square and didn't want to leave a bit of text, so I feel a little bad about that but I love it so much). Not sure what you mean by "find all the frames"; it's an animation study on Mario. All I did was change to a smoothly looping gif; the link shows the process of sketch to inking to coloring to shading to background color.

    Same artist also worked on this little treat which is just a really rough 9 second animation of Mario looking at a pipe, having an attitude, and gesturing?

    Did you know that moonlight isn't actually blue.

    It's a warmish light in terms of color, as the temperature of light is inversely related to color temperature (red light is not as hot as blue light), if that makes sense?

    Anyhow, we *do* perceive the light as blue, just that the light itself is not blue, see Purkinje effect

    Interesting. I always thought green/blue/violet were the "cool colors" while red/orange/yellow were the "warm colors".
    LeftyGreenMario
    LeftyGreenMario
    They are the "cool" colors in color theory, like they're more subdued and receding in the bakcground; just that in terms of temperature of light, blue fire is hotter than red fire.

    A bit on the high end. The African Gray Parrot can life between 40-60 years on average while the Sulfur-crested cockatoo's average is around 60 years, and the galah can live up to 80 years. One of the oldest bird is a Major Mitchell's Cockatoo, aged at 83 (died in 2016).There's a Greenwing macaw that has lived for 92 years and there's a male Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo that lived for at least 100 years. Cocky Bennett is a famous bird that lived for also at least 100 years.

    I know nothing about birds but one thing I wonder is to what extent parrots can actually understand the words they imitate.

    @El Zorro (sorry for late response), I get swamped in my notifications sometimes and it's occasional I miss comments).
    I think parrots like the African Gray has a very limited knowledge of what they're saying. There's an instance where the African Gray, called Alex, being familiar with what a cherry or a banana is, characterized an unfamiliar object as "banerry".

    They have to be trained to understand what they're saying though
