In Yoshi's Island, the score awarded at the end of a level includes stars, which are analogous to Yoshi's health meter (if he runs out, Baby Mario is kidnapped), but recover automatically over time as long as Baby Mario is on Yoshi's back.

Due to the automatic recovery, it is only possible to get 0 points if Yoshi finishes a level by waiting until his star counter runs out, instantly retrieving Baby Mario and finishing the level, which is only possible if there are enemies in the final room of the level (as he cannot change rooms without Baby Mario, and getting him back in another room will cause the stars to start recovering by the time the goal is reached).

As such, the only worlds in the game where it is possible to get a 0 point total are World 2 (seen in the screenshot in the GBA version) and World 6, since in all others there is at least one level with no enemies in the final room, making it impossible.

Cause it's not like the Nazis burned literal libraries of trans history and research.

nealashitposts

maybe the guy who thought the Nazi's put internment camp prisoners in stripes doesn't actually know a damn thing about fascism

The Centre for Holocaust Education had to put out an educational guide countering the misconceptions caused by his wretched book.

#bring back that post talking about the pajamafication of the holocaust

John Boyne admitted he did zero research for the book. He just wrote it off vibes.

Of course this asshole is a terf.

ellisnyeland

Please never ever forget that John Boyne is the Zelda recipe guy as well.

(Not because it's in any way comparable to the other stuff, but because it's very funny.)

one american thing that confuses me are college application letters. why do you need to write yourself a tragic backstory to go to university, don't you have standardized exams? who's reading through all these bad high schooler essays?

for a trans girl, finding solace in crossdressing manga is a lot like wanting to fuck halimede. we all know we shouldn’t do it but shit’s rough out there okay

"vermillion" and "chartreuse" were switched out during development. like with butterfree and venomoth, the same kinda thing happened

staving off the horrors by writing a tabletop rpg where you dissolve into psychic sludge if you don't stay on top of your pills. very different from real life.

panel 1: owner is getting ready for a night out, but doesn't know if she smells or not, lifts her armpit to check but doesn't get a reliable read

panel 2: she asks her puppy girl to check if she smells, motioning her up to sniff & check, puppy girl excitedly hops up

panel 3: puppy girl woozily leans in further with a smile on her face, tail wagging, owner says "that bad, huh?"

this happened to me once

I still make youtube videos! Check out this one, a comprehensive primer on Wist, the magic system for my fantasy setting, Nornlain.

I'm thinking of sticking a random table of oddball quirks and talents in the back of the next update to Eat God for folks who want to flesh out their muppets. Not big, flashy stuff – just weird, very occasionally useful shit like "you speak the secret tongues of vermin" or "you remember the contents of every book you've ever eaten". I'm curious to know what folks would want or expect to see in such a table!

had a dream that there was this new tiktok trend called "scrubbing" where people would take images of fictional characters and put them in images of bathtubs and drag around transparent pngs of soap and brushes with their tiktok art tablets and like liquify tool their hair down to mimic giving them a shower. and people would get into flamewars in the comments of every single video over the types of soap they picked and if the images had decently removed backgrounds and if they got soap in their eyes. and it got onto the news because it turned out everyone doing the trend was doing it compulsively like they physically couldn't stop and each video was a solid few minutes long because they were just collectively obsessively recording themselves fake-showering these fictional characters and arguing about it online

for the record I have never used tiktok and like explicitly in the dream I learned about it secondhand from a discord server so there's that also which is funny I think

Still feels weird that the same band made "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"

charlesoberonn

It's like if Smash Mouth and Fall Out Boy were one band.

zennistrad

The Offspring are honestly a contender for the funniest punk band ever, made even funnier by the fact that Dexter Holland is pushing 60 now and has a PhD in virology.

zennistrad

Like imagine being on an academic committee and reviewing a dissertation on HIV protein-encoding genomes and it's from a guy with frosted tips whose greatest legacy is the Crazy Taxi soundtrack.

That's the Offspring.

witdiseased

The hook from "Come Out And Play" was created because Dexter Holland was doing lab work and did, in fact, have to keep certain petri dishes separated while disinfecting them. So he kept saying "gotta keep 'em separated" to himself while working, and it stuck in his head so badly that it made it into the song.

A role model for all of us indecisive people who want to do and try anything and everything.

i just think if you're trying to draw uh, erotic computer art. you should be able to tell the difference between the flap on a vcr and the tray/slot/caddy on an optical drive.

yknow so that your art doesn't make you look like a total fuckin virgin when it comes to illustrating a conventional desktop tower
