I play videogames. Mostly Nintendo games. I also draw stuff. Proud dad to two Small Fries. Formerly a comic artist on Nintendo Force magazine.
My wife made meringues and they were delicious. Then I got a bad migraine.
And now all I can think about is how nearly meringue and migraine are anagrams of one another.
That's how things are going tonight. Cheers!

Yes, editing is a craft that can be broken down, explained and taught. However, even without that knowledge, bad editing can just "feel" wrong. Like reading a typo. A break in immersion can usually be ascribed to bad (or absent) editing.

I always said it more like "Nez" and "Snez", personally. Not a hard S. That's reserved for "Ness" from EarthBound.
These days, I spell them out as N.E.S. and Super N.E.S. a lot more. And don't get me started on the Nintendo Six-Four!

Nintendo took advantage of the later release of the Gamecube in Europe to give the second quest of Luigi's Mansion a few tweaks. Among them, Luigi now rides on top of the Poltergust during the Boolossus fight.
(It's a bit annoying, honestly. But I still like that they changed it.)

I haven't beaten 1080 Snowboarding on N64 yet. It gets crazy hard. This is 1080 Avalanche on Gamecube, which also has great music.
I'll get back to the N64 one soon, no doubt.

It was all those "everybody deserves to be treated with dignity and respect" chumps. They conned us into believing it was immoral to be mean to the very worst people.
It's not immoral. It's the very basis on which a just and democratic society relies.

Not gonna lie - knowing just how many games you've beaten and how much your decades of effort to preserve them have been deeply appreciated by me (I am quite bad at beating games)... it is a little bit satisfying being able to show you something you didn't know π

He's actually lost a lot of weight in the past, and has a lot of flappy folds that he conceals within his dungarees. When he inexplicably devours the balloon whole, the sudden rush of helium inside his body escapes through his stomach lining and inflates all his skin flaps.

Sure is! You have to collect 9 Time Trial Coins to unlock it. 1080 Avalanche is a fun game and NST has been wasted by being locked into pumping out Mario vs. Donkey Kong games, if you ask me.

Yes! Unlocked the big dumb NES Controller that makes Mario *boing* sound effects.

I'm playing 1080 Avalanche on Gamecube. It abandoned the realism of its successful predecessor in favour of an arcadey experience. It wasn't to everyone's taste.
And I love it!

Part of the reason this is happening is the language around women's rights has been hijacked and toxified. Now it's just another example of:
"Which women's rights should we protect? Equal pay? Maternity leave? Abortion rights?"
"No... Not those ones..."
"Which ones?"
"Oh you know the ones..."

"Yes, I did!" says I.
"And what's ketchup short for?"
"Ketchuppiduppidingdong"
"...Really?!"
