Rebate app referral codes

If anyone is looking to start using any of the glorified coupon apps, here are my referral codes. You'll need to actually use it for the points to show on my (our?) end. Generally they work well, but if the roobits don't like your receipt good luck getting a human to help. Typically around 3 business days for the cashout to appear.

Sorry idk how to properly format

Ibotta - Ten for me, five for you. By far the best of these. Limited to certain retailers though. Usefull for groceries. $20 minimum cashout (I use PayPal but there are other options. Usually deposited same day) Lifetime: $625

dgljebv Box Tops for Education - When you buy General Mills products, you can donate some change to a school of your choice. 20 points for both of us. Lifetime: $31.60

X1816SDC Fetch - My second favorite of these apps. Lots of cashout options, I generally do PSN store ($10 for 11k atm). There's current a 4k/2k promo but it ends tonight. Lifetime: 85k

89CCJ Receipt Hog: Takes a long time to cash out. The gimmick with this one is you earn spins and some other stuff, but think the most I ever won was 50 points. I cash out to PayPal ($15 @ 2.9k atm) but there are other options. Probably not worth your time, but if you're scanning anyways why not? Unsure what a referral gets, says special bonus for your first scan. Lifetime: $50

GIPHY Update

So now I’m an official artist channel and supposedly my rating issue has been fixed. Now when you search for lowpursuit you should find all my content. Eventually, I still have to go back and make sure everything is tagged properly.

Also some of them don’t appear to loop properly, if that’s the case sorry. You can always download the complete versions if you go directly to my user page on the website (user LowPursuit)

You can also pull up some on Tenor, but my content is mixed in with other people - and Tenor is effectively going away later this year iiuc

Ack! ‘Super Team Games’ NES

[suppermariobroth]

Top: a piece of Super Mario Bros. concept art features a variety of early and unused sprites for Mario, alongside a different palette.

Bottom: it is assumed that the bottom two sprites are part of the same animation due to their similarity, though it is unknown what that animation would have been used for. Possibilities include being an early death animation or trying to get the player's attention. This is a mock-up whereby the sprites were recreated from the concept art by finishing the uncolored portions.

The 1982 manual for the Colecovision version of Donkey Kong features a unique illustration of Mario, Pauline and Donkey Kong in the same style as the designs on the sides of the arcade cabinet.

You know the real-life creatures known as Honeypot Ants? This little ornament of a woman struck me as being a human equivalent.

This was in the Sue Ryder charity shop in Saltash, UK.

A 1991 Toys "R" Us commercial featured live-action footage with video games superimposed over it, to illustrate lines such as "You couldn't get enough of it, you ate Nintendo, drank Nintendo, slept Nintendo" and "so now you can breathe Nintendo, love Nintendo, be Nintendo".

The Mario-related segments of the commercial feature surreal footage of boys eating a plate of Super Mario Bros. 2, drinking a glass of Super Mario Bros. 3, and physically turning into Super Mario World, respectively.

Windows 7 in 2026

If you're trying to setup a fresh #Windows 7 x64 install, the patches on this Archive link worked great. Just be sure to read the comment, the original uploader missed a couple things so I added some additional info/links https://archive.org/details/windows-7x-64-update

Any idea what ps2 game this was from? The title isn’t listed for some reason. I thought it was probably Dante but there’s a website you can pull most of these animations up and it is not from devil may cry

All Mario Kart games have difficulty modes named after engine classes: 50cc, 100cc, 150cc etc. In some Mario Kart games, the engine classes do not actually correspond to in-game variables, so e.g. there is no single value that is "50" for 50cc and "100" for 100cc. Instead, each engine class is custom-crafted with different values and the "cc" numbers are just for the player's benefit.

However, in Mario Kart 7, the "cc" number is actually a real variable in the game's code that can be changed to create any possible engine class. If it is made greater than 150cc, the karts predictably become even faster. Interestingly, there is behavior for negative engine classes, which is shown in the footage.

All regular acceleration (so Rocket Start being exempt from this) actually accelerates the kart backwards. Note how Yoshi appears to go forward from the Rocket Start but then immediately starts accelerating backwards uncontrollably.
