i've been slackin on mentioning it but star fox's 30th anniversary was 2 days ago.

star fox 64 released 1 year after i was born and it's been with me this whole time. i really wish nintendo treated this series better because i love it so much.

when i was a kid i would pretend i was in an arwing and "fly" around my front yard. for a writing assignment in elementary school i wrote an entire walkthrough for 64 from memory. i always thought it would be cool to have a star fox tattoo and finally got one when i was 19. every year on my birthday, i replay star fox 64, and it hits me harder every time. when that leak came out with all of the uncompressed voice lines and music i'll admit i teared up... it was like viewing my childhood in HD.

words can't really describe how much this game means to me and how much it shaped my life, even though that sounds really stupid.

godspeed, star fox.

@Aether it's not lost on me that this city is called Hellertown

@LoliHat you can do it without the knife if they just eat them with their hands and take turns

@Cummieboi Does a parent's decision on whether their child should be able to consume as many sweets as they want matter? The kid will be more than happy to snack away but when they develop diabetes and become obese it won't be that fun anymore.

My whole point is that this is not healthy behavior, but saying that is looked down upon due to society at large rewarding short-term dopamine instead of actual values. Validating serious mental issues instead of treating them. And it all funnels back into the big machine.

@Cummieboi I care about people's wellbeing in general. Particularly, I care about the wellbeing of children/adolescents who are being fed absolute garbage 24/7 in order to serve political agendas and don't know any better.

@Cummieboi Is it not possible to care about things that do not affect you directly?

@matana it does kinda suck, but the time i played before that was like march 2020. just don't play it at all and VR is too much of a hassle to set up for just like 1 hour of gameplay before your head starts to hurt.

the only game i'd still play on it would be dmc definitive edition, just because it has turbo mode but i'm sure i won't notice that much if i ever play it on PC again.

this is pretty significant!

ever since smash bros brawl, there has been a 1 frame physics delay that nobody has figured out how to get rid of. this results to the game feeling a little bit laggy to some people who are used to something like melee or 64.

HDR, the "melee-like" mod for ultimate, has now managed to REMOVE that physics delay in the newest nightly build. over a decade later, this problem has finally been solved!
