I know the song and the musical
I know the song but not the musical

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing
Perception is a funny thing.
Can't tell you how many times over the years I must have seen this episode...
...yet somehow I never once noticed...
...cutting from one background to the same dang background.
And okay okay, it was kind of a lie, but it's only an estimate. 3 or 4 times. Hey, not like it was that Batman crossover with the green fountain that spooked me out on VHS.

Holly please don’t say things like this
…but didn’t he also bring the watermelon stevens and Pumpkin to life in the same manner?
every meal is a race against the clock for steven q. universe
I had to read this with my human eyes so now all of you have to too

She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out.
She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas.
81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving.
The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself.
Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held.
Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving.
The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything.
She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse.
Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one.
When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up.
The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other.
When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking.
The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving.
You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state.

mina the hollower is really interesting to me. most difficulty settings look like this to me:
normal - baby mode
hard - fun romp
but then mina has ten million settings and the difficulty ones feel like this:
easier ones that not even baby mode turns on - actual baby mode
baby mode ones - fun romp
default settings - absolutely brutal
hard ones - i assume if you turn these on psychologists immediately enter your house to inspect your brain
but i literally needed the twelve year wait to finish the first game these guys made so i shouldn't be that surprised. great game, i recommend it

In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Luigi's eyes do not respond well to his death.
If Luigi dies from being hit by an enemy attack, the stacking of his eye and eyelid textures will become glitched, causing one of his eyes to have a white pupil, while the other one will go blank and lose half an eyelid.
Due to Luigi looking down during this and the in-game camera showing him from above, this is relatively difficult to see during regular gameplay, which may explain why it was not caught during development. This was also not fixed in any subsequent release of these games.

It's a shame that porn games and sim games don't have a lot of present overlap, because I feel like "horny mechsplo game where you have to actually win the fights to get to the sexy bits and it's one of those hyper-detailed 1990s era mech piloting sims that uses every single key on the keyboard" would do numbers with a very particular audience.
RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.
