Checks out; the Captain Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World were some of the game's best.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Being able to correct mid-jump, or even just choose between second-jumping at the apex or lowest allowable point to maximize height or distance respectively, is what makes double-jumps worth having. Otherwise you might as well just do what Super Mario's done from the beginning and make it so you can jump higher by holding the button down.
The worst is when "double jump" just means you get one jump you can use at any point when you're in mid-air, so you have to account for people just doing a little hop at the last second to negate fall damage. TF2's Scout has this problem; that's why they have to build hard kill triggers into bottomless pits.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
There really needs to be a word for "meme templates" that just get used as an excuse to post literally any picture and pretend it's a meme. The "Therapist: X isn't real" meme is maybe the worst offender.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
As I see it, the worst one is the "Nobody: [thing]:" template. It only serves to drag the joke out, which is something you absolutely do not want when you're trying to post something funny. There's even a subreddit for making memes funnier by cutting out parts of them and they have a rule specifically forbidding edits removing that due to it being such an easy, low-effort fix.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
The "Nobody: [thing]:" used to be pretty funny I think, but then it got misused.
Like it used to be about people annoyingly saying/doing weird stuff to others unprompted.
Then it became more about the person being unique and quirky, which is fine, but I think it would work better with "me irl" or no template at all.
It doesn't help that the format doesn't make grammatical sense (if the outburst was unprompted then everyone should be silent. If nobody was silent then someone said something).

speaking of having voted, is there a way to tell ad services that I have voted and thus campaign ads are now actively useless?

You voted, but maybe the ads could get you to regret your vote and think that you need to tell all your friends who didn't vote early to go vote for the other guy! So warm up those eyeballs, citizen, as you've still got weeks of campaigning to endure!

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Anyone else remember those fake cardboard computers that office-furniture stores used to put on their display models? I haven't thought about them in ages, but it popped into my head just now. I wonder if anyone ever saved any of those, and if it's possible to get ahold of them. A quick search for "cardboard display computer" yielded nothing relevant. Might be a good topic to write in to LGR about.

So much leftover work from the week spilling over into the weekend, also need to research and write up a proposal for the company hack a thon, they want me to start helping with the load of interviewing people but as the recipient of so many bad interviews being on the other side of the desk is not exactly appealing.
so much lack of motivation at the moment.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
I've seen people use vinyl records to store data before, using the same method as a data cassette. If you wrote a program for an '80s computer that just plays chiptune music, I wonder if you can achieve the same runtime as if the album had just held a recording of the music, and if so, how complex it can be before you can't anymore.
Specifically talking about vinyl here, since I figure you'd have to use a lower bitrate or add generous parity checking or something to compensate for the inevitability of nicks and pops on the groove.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
That's too normal. It's a dream when "Beyond Good & Evil 2" has been released. I'm waiting for that game for 17 years.
It's my personal "Duke Nukem Forever" or "Half-Life 3".
Or... It'd be the trippiest dream if there would be a new sequel to my most beloved game series "Simon The Sorcerer" (which bombed haaaard transitioning to 3D and the sequels after that were so-so).

Chip Cheezum randomly mentioned during his FF7R LP that he's working on a new Saints Row, which I guess they announced by posting once about it on Twitter a while ago.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
"Homage" is kind of a weird word. The original French pronunciation and the anglicized version are both perfectly cromulent words in the English-speaking world, and they tend to have similar but slightly distinct meanings, leaning more towards "reference" and "tribute" respectively.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
In French it's written "hommage". I translated it to German and used its slightly different meanings to translate further to English and found those two alternatives: "obeisance" or "reverence". They don't sound as nice and noble as "homage".
It's also funny that the fantasy word "cromulent", that was introduced in a Simpsons episode, is now used as a real English word.
"Embiggen" is also used throughout the media, especially in the Ms Marvel comics.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
I'm starting to think that satire is dumb. Like, just fundamentally. It basically all boils down to "I'm going to try to prove that Thing Bad by showing you a version of Thing that I deliberately made even worse." And what almost always happens is that people who already agreed that Thing Bad think it's brilliant and everyone else sees right through it.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
If anything, my experience has been the opposite, that there's an awful lot of people who see satire criticizing the thing they like and genuinely think it's agreeing with them. I wonder if it's a product of so much online discourse being based around how you react to the news instead of the events and ideas of the news itself, or if maybe there's just a whole lot of not-great comedians out there on the Internet these days.

Designing characters for a fighting game is a neat artistic challenge, and no traditional hand animator wants to see their style reduced to templated flash animation. Fighting Herds is her own style through and through.
and she could be getting points on the backend too, we don’t know, it’s a commercial product available on Steam
Project went from an under the table fan creation to a legit enterprise with staff, Mane 6 inc pays taxes, y’know?

I hope she does get some points from it, she deserves it. Especially since she ended up on DC Super Hero Girls, which often feels like a somewhat more edgy(?) take on the same ideas as pony. Although it bashes the fuck out of Hal Jordan which is highly entertaining and has Cree Sumner doing an A+ take on Eartha Kitt. Also Nicole Sullivan basically doing a less competent and less intelligent Shego as Supergirl is pretty funny
I am easily entertained, what can I say
2nd season is definitely better than the first tho.
I wish she could get her own ideas on the air but at least she’s working
