You actually had to. You start as Yoshi and have to unlock Mario before you can play as him. There are also hat powerups to temporarily transform into other characters before you unlock them, which is mostly for races. It almost makes playing as Mario feel special and when I was a kid I felt so cool when I unlocked him for the first time.

Its hard to recommend this version over the original though. The lack of analog control makes this game a struggle to me, especially now that I have played the original. I played the ds version first and I wasn’t the biggest fan but then I went back and played the og at some point and was blown away by how good it felt. The ds version is definitely a good game though. Epecially the mini games in luigis casino. So I’d recommend it for 64 fans that want an update that isn’t a mod/romhack

To add on, at my work we started getting yubikeys for the people who didnt want Microsoft’s authenticator on their phone and found they still need to download the mfa to set up the yubikey in the first place. So its not a perfect solution if you dont want the authenticator to touch your phone at all.

I can also confirm that the help desk members who are not enlightened about Microsoft will ridicule you for not wanting the MFA even if its reasonable to not want Microsoft on your phone. As much as we think all techs are Linux nerds, I have the opposite at my work. Some of the higher up techs are constantly trying to get people to switch to windows 11…

Good ol Billy Shepherd

I think his suit jacket says Boeing lol

They did in the directors cut or whatever the revised version was called. They got so much flak for the boss fights (because they were contracted out it seems) that they redid them entirely like a year after the game came out.

Am I crazy or does that screenshot have Japan in it? Why would a Japanese company ban a game about Japan in Japan?

Alright I’m gonna be the dude who replies to myself but I did some research and these prices are probably real. What’s crazy is they appear to be significantly lower than last years prices. Another important thing is that the formal menus mention the dishes being sized to serve 4 people. That makes it slightly more okay but also still ridiculous. This has to be inside the paddock or VIP areas though as I dont think they would even offer caviar to the peasants in the general admission.

Lol if you zoom in there is clearly something weird going on with the numbers. I would believe 0s were added to the prices. Even without the 0 at the end the prices would still be absurd but this is way too expensive to be believable. If it is real just burn the whole place down

Oh ive seen this before. This is one of those “manufacturing consent” type articles right? Seems like very weird timing for human rights watch to bring this up now, right after Iran and Israel have started facing off…

Hopefully its just a case of trying to use the general buzz to get eyes on a specific issue but the timing is bad for optics considering they have been accused of being a propaganda tool in the past. At least the HRW has been covering Palestine in a largely positive light and not pulling punches. Now would probably be a good time for HRW to publish an article about how conflict in general is used to hide human rights violations.

Probably just general entropy. Life is energy organized and put to purpose which is basically the opposite of entropy. So if, entropy is the antithesis to life, wouldn’t all life’s ultimate goal be to overcome entropy?

R/ambien used to have some of my favorite posts of all time. There is one where a guy recorded himself staying up on his (legally prescribed) ambien with a go pro. Nothing too crazy happens but seeing his cognition decline and him just become a top tier lol so random bot was hilarious. He kept getting angry at all the statutes and cardboard cutouts in his house because he thought they were moving haha

Saw them live in Boston! They’re fantastic musicians and if you have the opportunity to see them do their shit live I would highly recommend.

I’m proud to be wrong. The beef dudes or the imperfect dwarf are my favorite

I think America is really good at getting attention so everything good and bad is magnified by how much exposure it gets. So our dumbasses are some of the loudest and best at being noticed for their dumbassery in the whole world.

This is so cool!

NGL I didn’t read the title at first and thought these were all jack o lanterns

They’re just trained to approach you pretty much no matter what. Leaving people alone means youre missing out on opportunities for good business I guess. Just annoying to me, especially when I was working at one.

As an american, I can confirm these are not our best and brightest. The best and brightest have either started leaving or they are seduced by big business and paid absurd (for working class) salaries to ignore the problems of the country.

While animals can hear different frequencies, the researchers talked about editing the audio for volume and such. I would assume these scientists, who are already concerned about the audio content/volume, would think about that. All they would need to do is take the clips, put them a spectral analyzer and eliminate any frequencies outside of the range of frequencies the animal making the sound could make. So it would be rather trivial for them to do. Youre also assuming the speakers could reproduce that static but if they’re tuned for human hearing ranges and not really cheap speakers then the chance of some elephant scaring static is low.

It is what you think it is haha

All of these maps were made with Stars without Number revised edition, or dark heresy first edition in mind. They aren’t super intentionally designed to cater to either of those systems though.

I can certainly try. If I still have the dungeon draft files still I can load the original projects and make both clean and hex versions without much issue
