????? march ?????? again ??????

astounding how quickly the Super Mario 3D All Stars announcement went from “oh, Nintendo’s actually doing something cool for once, nice” to “oh fuck you nintendo” at mach 7 speeds

ebay exclusive game release

I should probably says something about how this is an insanely unprecedented scumbag tactic on their part that creates artificial scarcity towards a product people were already complaining was scarce in the first place and that you should pirate media constantly and always to prevent big corporations from doing shady shit like this to you all the time but instead I’m gonna say more like nintendo bitch lol

Yo ho ho, me bottle of rum.

If you wish (because you should!) pirate these games:

Here’s where to download Dolphin, a better GameCube and Wii emulator than what Nintendo’s offering, that can output to higher resolutions and widescreen. Super Mario 64 PC was a project that completely reverse-engineered Super Mario 64 and allows you to play it perfectly at any resolution you would like. Plus, people are making mods for it every day (you’ll have to hunt a download yourself though)

If you wish to support good ports of old games out there, ports that actually add new features and that are worried about preserving games and putting them out there for new audiences:

SEGA 3D Classics was a line of extremely high quality SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis and Arcade ports that not only allowed you to play these games with the 3D feature of the 3DS, but that routinely added completely new modes and features to these games, most of which focused on making these old games more accessible, on top of just being able to play these old games as they were, perfectly. SEGA AGES is a sort of continuation of the SEGA 3D Classics line, but for the Switch and not the 3DS, so no 3D. Same deal though - extremely high quality ports of SEGA classics with new features. Including online play in some games! It features world’s first perfect port of Virtua Racing, using the original arcade code, with online play and 1080p resolution! The Megaman Zero/ZX Collection features all 4 Megaman Zero games, plus the 2 ZX games, with a new optional checkpoint system that makes these games a lot easier and less punishing to get through, and a new racing mode where you can compete with a friend or a CPU who can get through a level faster. Plus a huge extensive gallery of all the art and concept art of these games. Collection of Mana is a collection of all three classic Mana/Seiken Densetsu games, including the never-before translated Seiken Densetsu 3! A legendary Action RPG that since the 90s, western fans lamented it never being released outside of Japan. Well, now it has! With the translated title Trials of Mana! Speaking of titles that were never before released outside of Japan or translated, Moon: Remix RPG Adventure is an incredibly interesting and forward-thinking Playstation 1 “anti-RPG” made by some of the people who have worked on all-time classics like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, about befriending people rather than killing monsters. It is one of the main inspirations for Undertale. It is a hidden gem even in Japan, so it being ported and translated was completely a labor of love situation, so please support it if this game interests you! The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection has like. Nearly every single pre-Street Fighter IV Street Fighter game in it. It’s an incredibly MASSIVE collection of a lot of the best fighting games of all-time in it. Plus with all sorts of extras like sprite viewers if you wanna watch the amazing art and animation of these games in detail! The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is a preservationist’s preservationist collection. It’s a collection of very old, very early SNK games, pre-Neo Geo era. Games that haven’t been ported anywhere else or are often forgotten. It’s filled to the brim with games and concept art. There’s also the Contra Collection and two Castlevania collections, one that’s more focused on their more classic titles and another that’s just the two most held-up Castlevania games, Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, in one package. Rondo of Blood in particular, wasn’t brought over to the west at all originally. It’s only release outside of Japan was on a PSP remake of it, so this is, outside of emulation, pretty much the only way to play one of the best Castlevania games out there.

As you can see, there’s a TON of really amazing preservationist releases out there, so maybe instead of playing Mario, you could both say “no” to this incredibly sleazy tactic of Nintendo, AND expand your interest and find new favorite games you wouldn’t have ever played before with all these great re-releases out there!

this isnt a new thing by the way they did this shit in 2010 aswell for the 25th anniversary, they then re-released it afterwards without all the extras and i dunno if that makes it better or worse…

More uplifting news during this outbreak ♥️

“My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.” - Fred Rogers

Here’s the short comic I made for @pichikui​’s Danny Phantom charity zine, GOING GHOST! She’s selling digital copies on her gumroad if anyone missed out! Profits are donated to RAICES 👻💀!!

There’s several reasons I love this gif:

1. The WTF reaction by the ref

2. The dude who escapes looks like an Irish boxer from the 1800′s

3. Who’s also gay sassy (I mean those trunks and that hand flick)

4. The other wrestler just holds his arms in the same position while he’s looking dumbfounded at the gay sassy wrestler and then the audience and back

Workers, when have you said “fuck this, I quit”?

I used to work at McDonalds (I know). Opening usually involved me at the front counter with a headset on so I could do drive-through orders and handle making coffee / putting orders together / taking money at the front from the little old people that came in at the crack of dawn every morning. We would also have a manager who was there to be important and one person in the kitchen. We’re a small rural town so usually this is fine but we were on kind of a major highway so sometimes it would get busy out of nowhere.

Depending on the manager the amount of help we had would vary wildly. One morning we got super busy and I started cracking under the pressure. I’m a fantastic multi-tasker but my drive-through line was backing up since I was trying to juggle them and all the walk-in folks from my front registers and when it gets packed…well, it’s fun. I glance around trying to find my manager for help. I see him on one of our cameras – he’s outside smoking a cigarette around the side of the building. Mind you, this is like his third trip out to smoke this morning. I’m absolutely dying trying to get caught up. Customers are being passive aggressive saying they will come behind the counter and get their own coffee and stuff. I have people yelling at me in my headset from the drive through. I end up having to remove the headset just to try to get the frontline sorted. I start making progress with the front but I basically had to sacrifice the drive-through customers for two minutes.

Apparently the cars outside start yelling at my manager and interrupt his smoke break so he comes in, sees me with my headset off and goes berserk. He’s like “WHOS TAKING THE DRIVE-THRU ORDERS?” I’m in the middle of trying to get a fresh pot of coffee going so I sort of auto-respond “No one. Hang on.” as I continue to dash around behind our counter to grab a fruit & yogurt parfait for an order. He basically gets in my way and starts giving me shit. Loudly, talking to me like I’m a dog. I point to the camera and yell, loudly enough to disrupt the entire inside of the restaurant. “I’m these two registers, first window, second window, and I’m bagging. I’m like FOUR PEOPLE and you’re out behind the building not doing SHIT!”

His eyes go wide. I can tell he knows I’m holding on by my last thread. He’s sighs. And he’s like “You’re in a ton of trouble but we can talk about this later.” No. Fuck him. I’m done. I’m all riled up from random customers yelling at me. I toss him the headset. “You want to give me shit for not being able to run like four stations with no support? Run five. I’ll watch.” I remove my name badge.

He went to say something to me. I turn away, facing the one girl working in the kitchen who is watching this all play out. I remember telling her “I’m so sorry.” and then I dropped my name badge, toss my hat on the counter, grab a water cup, put on (and zip) my jacket so my uniform is covered up. I go to the drink fountain, fill my water cup, and then I go sit on the far side of the seating area and watch him go down in flames. He ends up ALSO taking off the headset and picking up the phone so he can spam call the whole workforce one by one trying to call for help. It’s like 5AM so no one is going to accept a call from their work number. About ten minutes into his struggle he ends up very loudly pleading with me to come back from behind the counter. I can’t even see him on the other side of the sea of people swarming the counter at this point.

I call back “I need a smoke first!” and I go outside.

I don’t smoke. I’ve never smoked. I drive home.

He ended up losing his job.
