Cleretic posted:So I did find an actual reasoning for this one, although I of course didn't research, so I don't know how true it is. Apparently, there was an early build of the game that had a rare but reproducible bug that caused bright flashing colors that could cause epileptic fits. In other words, The Princess. "If you see him, turn off the WAH!" That said, it also feels like it's an arbitrary build date that simply builds up mystique by not explaining itself except to imply that something real bad happened, rather than actual build copy (and I respect that), so I wouldn't believe the epileptic freakout, either.

Clearly, Mario will too. TheNamedSavior fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jun 22, 2020 |

Cleretic posted:I've spent way too long figuring out what the political situation in the Mushroom Kingdom must be, and the Whomp King is a loving TRIP. Because you're right, the Whomps have to be a slave class having an uprising, because he's the only character in the entire series who's both the 'sentient stone' kinda character, and has any claim of actual authority. Polygon did a very in-depth video on the military hierarchy and how mario is a war criminal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPY9R_yyiEM Also this image explains some of the other stuff in the Iceberg pic

Viewtiful Jew posted:The Wet Dry World town being some assets they threw in there that they were already using in Zelda 64 was one of those things I thought everybody else already realized and that's why it was never brought up when talking about "Mario 64 secrets" for the past twenty-something years. Z64 wasn't a thing until well after M64, I thought?

Procrastine posted:MIPS throwing/Yellow cap switch: idk lol according to miyamoto they intended to have an animation where mario throws him by the ears, but it was removed before launch putting MIPS down and picking him up in a particular way lets you clip through doors, which is one of the only ways you can go out of bounds in the castle basement there's some dots to connect there, but they don't really add up to anything

Welp, everything is on fire, people are jumping for the life boats, and it looks like things might be at an end soon. I just want to say that, this thread is what got me to join these forums in the first place. This was the best goddamn thread of the entire website, and if the plug gets pulled then this is what I will miss the most. Y'all are sons of bitches and I'm glad I have minorly contributed among some goddamn legends.

If this isn't my favorite thread it's a strong contender. edit: This thread has helped inspire a lot of the video game urban legend creepy pasta poo poo in my writing, and writing is what I do for a living. In that way this thread has tangibly affected my life

This thread can totally sustain a discord server of its own. It doesn't really cover the same stuff as the 'real' servers like Oddheader, since we're also just as happy to talk about weird creepypastas, hoaxes, and the like.

I also joined the forum so I could keep reading this thread when the forums kept locking non-members out (I think because of the Danganrompa LP's popularity ?). I only lurk a few threads here and there so the latest announcement completely caught me off guard. Is there a summary of what has been going on ? It kinda felt like these forums would always be around so I'm kinda gutted to see they are in danger.

Thanks a lot for the run down ! It makes me pretty sad that the actions of one lovely person may result in the end of the forums, I hope something can be done to avoid this. For windows user looking to archive their favorite threads, I made a wget script. First you'll need to get wget and run it from the folder you want your thread saved to (each page will be a file so one folder per thread). Here's a tuto I found : https://builtvisible.com/download-your-website-with-wget/ Here's the command line script : FOR /L %G IN (A,1,B) DO wget --html-extension -np https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1111111^&userid=0^&perpage=40^&pagenumber=%G In (A,1,B), A is the first page you want to save and B the last (1 is the increment). Just edit the threadid with the one you want to save, you can also edit the number of posts per page. Sadly I could'n't figure out how to make the page links work since they contain a question mark (if you can batch edit the html to replace it with an @ the links should work). This won't log you in but there are ways to add cookie data to wget. EDIT : To add cookies just put the site's cookies.txt in the folder you're using for wget (there are extensions to extract cookies from websites) and use the following command (don't forget to edit the relevant fields) : FOR /L %G IN (A,1,B) DO wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt --html-extension -np https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1111111^&userid=0^&perpage=40^&pagenumber=%G nota fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Jun 25, 2020 |
