Check out Quill18’s preview using the same footage but talking about what it means at every point, having actually played it: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3acGYgI1-tzagcKgi6fNTFoBRZfOWVE&si=pCH-r1x7w6ho0tPu

A few other YouTubers have done similarly.

Many channels I watch have already been mentioned, but one comes to mind that hasn’t been: if you like Stuff Made Here and NileRed, you’ll love The Thought Emporium. Dude is a mad scientist, for real. His current long term project is trying to make a neural net that can play DOOM… except he means real neurons. Biological neurons grown in his self built lab, sourced from rats.

Pan’s Labyrinth is a rare modern fairytale, in the old sense of the word, not the Disney sense.

We’re still in the bad timeline where Biff went back in time with the sports almanac. That one doesn’t get flying cars.

Generally, they don’t include intentional ones, or rather, haven’t done so since Super Metroid (and there, only with the wall jumps). When they release new versions of older games they often do so with patches to try to remove sequence breaks. And in new games they try to make sure not to include known older ways of sequence breaking, and sometimes include pretty drastic measures to prevent it.

Speedrunners sequence break anyway, because that’s how they are. But Nintendo gives every indication that they hate this for some weird reason.

Ah, here’s a YouTube link that goes into more detail about it: https://youtu.be/QLWKsugJPy4?si=gsT78aNb3wsQwCax

Will they be obsessive about trying to remove sequence breaks again? For a genre that is has a rabid following expressly because of the existence of sequence breaking, it’s so strange to me how much Nintendo hates the very idea.

Learning a second language AND professionally teaching English to speakers of said language. English is not broken. English is actually much better than many alternatives. We don’t need to worry about noun gender. We don’t have to worry about tones. We have precise ways to indicate number and time. Formality levels are not baked into word construction. The pronunciation of words can generally be inferred from the spelling, despite learning this skill being a little complicated— but that complicated nature even has its usefulness.

We rag on English, but it is by far not the worse out there, not even close. It’s just contempt for the familiar.

Nah, it’s fully polymorphed, it just cast the spell after it sat down.

 

I’m used to using conbini-pay with Amazon. You buy the item off the site, it emails you a barcode you take to 7-11 and they scan it and you pay.

I just tried the same with rakuten, except… for the life of me I can’t figure out where to find the stupid barcode! I got an email… but it just shows the item I want and how much it is, no barcode, no other instructions. I’ve logged into rakuten, checked the order, it says to wait for “payment confirmed” but that seems backwards, since I can’t pay until I get the barcode!

Any ideas?
