In the original GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Doopliss does not copy Mario's badge-based appearance when stealing his identity. As such, if Mario looks like Wario due to wearing the W Emblem badge, Doopliss will still wear the regular Mario outfit, not matching Mario exactly.

This was fixed in the Nintendo Switch version, but introduced a new edge case. Now, Doopliss does correctly copy Mario's appearance, but only at the moment of the first battle against him; he will continue using that appearance for the rest of the chapter. However, Mario can still unequip the badge in the menu (which does nothing visually while his identity is stolen), which will not affect Doopliss.

This results in the scenario seen in the footage. If Mario has the W Emblem equipped during the first battle, but unequips it before the last battle, Doopliss will have Wario clothes, but Mario will be restored to his Mario clothes. This produces an unintentionally fitting visual, with Doopliss using the "evil" Wario color scheme while Mario is restored to his "good" regular one.

An anti-trans activist lied about a trans athlete injuring cis women. Now she has to pay the price. - LGBTQ Nation

Kirralie Smith admitted in court she didn't have any evidence to back up her claim about a trans woman injuring two cis women.

Kirralie Smith, CEO of the anti-LGBTQ+ organization Binary Australia, posted pictures in 2023 of Riley Dennis, a trans woman playing on a semi-pro soccer team in New South Wales, the state that includes Sydney. She claimed that Dennis was “a man appropriating womanhood” and that she had injured two cis women during a match so badly that they were both hospitalized. That claim wasn’t true, and Smith would later admit in court that she had no evidence for that claim and couldn’t even say when or where it supposedly happened or who the injured women were. Smith also posted on X in 2023 that she wanted men to help her with “the bloke playing on the women’s team.” Shortly after, she traveled to an area on the coast with a group of men impersonating trans women, according to The Guardian, and had them play soccer while she filmed them in order to mock trans women. Men started showing up to Dennis’ games and posting footage of her on social media, and Dennis told the court that she feared for her safety.

Nothing transphobes love more than making up reasons to have the people they're obsessed with harassed by abuse mobs. Kiwifarms is like their version of oxygen.

Pro tip: if you're struggling to sleep because it's too hot, something that works for me is taking a ziplock baggie and filling it with ice and bringing that to bed. You don't have to have it right next to you, in fact you shouldn't, but just having it nearby makes going to sleep much easier.

Just make sure it's a serious brand of ziplock baggie and not like. Generic Store Brand or Amazon Basics. You don't want it to come open after the ice has melted

mtg's the hobbit set is fucking hysterical because as it turns out there are not enough things in one very short book to make even a small magic set and so they are literally having to make cards of every ranbdom sentence that was said in the book just to fill slots

[something-soup-something]

wouldn’t the Lord of the rings work better in that case?

[txttletale]

ah, well, you see, they already made a Lord of the Rings set in 2023. it was a huge success and so they decided that clearly iut needed a sequel, and what better to form a sequel adaptation of comparable scope than the hobbit, something which has never gone wrong before,

[txttletale]

it's genuinely baffling how literally the entire last three years of magic have been shaped by wotc being totally blindsided by the failure of one of the worst ideas of all time

[txttletale]

players wil love paying the same amount of money for less than half the number of cards, especially if there's a ton of duplicates. Im so sure about this that im going to plan our next three years of sets around this including signing contracts with outside partners that i cant go back on, which i would never need to of course because this is such a good idea that will be incredibly succesful,

Make Dialogue Good Again bitches i am NOT asking

[snowkissedmonsters]

"how do you write good dialogue" here's an idea let's just start with the characters NOT simply saying the plot out loud to one another for 20% of their conversations

[snowkissedmonsters]

actually let me be sincere here. I am not an expert on writing dialogue, but I flatter myself to know the basics at least. Here's some practical ways to improve dialogue:

read old plays. I'm not kidding. Read a play written pre-2000. Old Irish plays are my personal favourite because the dialogue is usually high context and hilarious

don't let the characters EVER say the plot out loud to each other. Allow the characters to say as little as possible to convey the plot to the reader/viewer; let visual language and context inform the rest. Readers are SUPPOSED to interpret, they are supposed to use their brains, for the love of god, LET THEM

"varying character voice" is not just about their accent or their social class, which are the two aspects I most often see varied in modern work. It more importantly means "how much would this character say, and what words would they choose to say it." Motive should always inform what a character reveals and how they reveal it. The most important part of a character's voice is the subtext within that voice - that's where their true characterisation is really hiding.

I saw this on somebody else's tumblr post which I now cannot find, but it's honestly a sublime piece of dialogue advice: whatever a character is saying, force them to Say It Without Saying It. If a character wants to be handed a red ball, they can say anything except "Hand me that red ball" to achieve that end. This goes for confessing feelings, outlining plots and plans, arguments, etc etc etc. If a character ever DOES need to say something super directly it should be an impactful moment in your story, NOT the norm.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

Near the end of Level 4-7 of Yoshi's Island, the last solid platforms before the goal contain the last Smiley Flower, after which Yoshi drops onto a red moving platform that takes him to the goal over a series of other moving platform.

If Yoshi jumps off the moving platform after it makes the jump and flutters back to the solid platform, it will have assumed a glitched orange color palette, as seen in the footage. As such, this may actually be seen organically during regular gameplay, since it is possible for a player to simply perform a wrong jump and then attempt to flutter back to see if the platform has respawned.

Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

Sometimes I reflect on history and I wonder in amazement, how on earth were people actually listening to Hitler? How gullible were people that they were fully on board with what the madman had to say? What kinds of values and worldview must a person like that have held to fall hook line and sinker for that? And then I look at American leftists propping up literally anybody, no matter what kinds of atrocities they have already committed or intend to commit, so long as they claim to be “for the working man” and I’m like ah. Yeah I can see it. All they need to say is “I’m sticking up for the underdogs” and you’ll let them harm anybody they decide to point their finger at. Yeah Hitler would have gotten a lot of you and he would’ve gotten you good
