Thanks! TRMNL has a UI framework, and I wanted it to look like it fit within the ecosystem, so I just looked at a bunch of plugins and imitated what I thought would work with the data I wanted to show. Mine’s probably the most similar to the Weather plugin.
I have played and beaten both games too often to count, and while they’re both excellent the way Mario controls in SMW always throws me off for the first couple of minutes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but SMB3 just feels better, more weighty I guess.
I don’t understand why they feel the need to hide it.
I can liken my opinion on it to that of Generative AI: Consumers have the right to be informed. Hiding whether AI was used (or SBI/other similar agencies in this case) is not a good look. If a consumer doesn’t want to buy games that SBI has worked on, it is the consumer’s right to know if a game has been worked on by SBI so they can make an informed decision. In just the same way a person would want to know if Generative AI was used in a game, some consumers want to know if SBI or other similar companies were used during a game’s development. And this of course works opposite too. If someone wanted to buy a game specifically because SBI worked on it (which I personally can’t see being a real reason to buy a game, but to each their own) then they too should be able to be clearly informed on the matter.
Basically, hiding something like that is anti-consumer. It gives the impression that the developers are trying to trick consumers into buying something they don’t want.
For example, if there was a video game which directly funded something you didn’t like, let’s say something like directly funding Russia’s war against Ukraine, you would want to know that before you bought the game, right? When you find out where your money went, you probably wouldn’t be very happy, would you? If you had known that information before you bought the game, that likely would have changed your decision to buy the game, right? Now of course, war is a bit more extreme compared to social politics, but the idea is the same. You would feel tricked. You would feel upset. Its the same idea. Consumers want to be informed, and hiding information from consumers is not friendly to consumers. The developers should have just updated the game description to include that SBI worked on the game and left it at that. The drama would likely not have reached its current level.
This is stupid and it doesn’t make any sense. People should have a right to know if it’s inclusive? If other races are portrayed? If other sexual orientations are portrayed? The only people who mind are bigots, and they can just move on. What’s especially remarkable to me is that bigots aren’t satisfied with not partaking, they desperately and pathetically need others to share that view, because in their minds, then it isn’t wrong.
People have a right to know if a company worked on the game or not, just like they have a right to know if Generative AI was used, or if it funds something they don’t like. It doesn’t matter if you or I think it’s stupid or not.
I’m not sure I’d say the consumer has a right to know, per se, but they may well have an interest in knowing. Whether or not a developer/publisher/whoever opts to provide this kind of information may itself be a factor in consumers making a purchasing decision, and, if some information isn’t being provided up-front, consumers can and should ask questions. Ideally, those questions and the answers would be public-facing.
I am a little miffed at responses down this comment chain somehow seeing your opinions as evidence of bigotry. It’s, like… people can disagree, people can have thoughts about things. Just because someone seems not to agree on one point doesn’t make them your polar opposite on everything, and surely shouldn’t lead to name-calling and gatekeeping. That’s the kind of behavior that leads folks to see everyone on “the other side” as extremists of some kind, if every time you interact with them they just jump to hard responses at the slightest provocation.
To be clear, that part was all directed at the others’ behavior, not really yours.
Signed,
A lefty non-bigot who doesn’t think anyone in this thread (among those whose comments I read) is showing any actual signs of bigotry
I did actually do that for some posts, but people like to guess the game so i stopped doing that. The middle ground i reached was just putting the game in the first sentence (and if i remember bolding it too)
Yeah, essentially SMB3 for the NES was remastered in Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES. It was later ported to the GBA under the title Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
The graphics are much better in the ports, but the soundtrack doesn’t quite hit the same when compared to the NES version. The physics are also different in the All-Stars/SMA4 versions and some people prefer the NES version’s physics.
On a related note, there are some cool ROM hacks based off the NES SMB3 engine - Mario Adventure 3 released the other year and is a blast:
Not exactly drama but… In 2020, Verizon fucked up and kept me out of my new phone and I spent literally 20 hours on customer support (on my gf’s phone) and going to stores to try and fix it. They ended up throwing me a bone and I had a $300 Verizon store coupon. Free oculus quest #worthit?
Trying out the online community apps was intense. Upon popping into any Meta-ran space you would be flooded by children squeaking the most vile shit at each other. Occasionally there would be an older voice saying bad words to the children and laughing as they scream. What an awful place. But in other games like VRchat, there could be cool moments, too. Like an old Australian man moderating a conversation with a very international and diverse crowd around a campfire. Sure it’s cartoony and you can experience wide conversations on the web but it’s another thing to have proximity chat with stereoscopic vision. It feels like an actual “memory.” That was all terrifying and I have really touched the device in four years.
yeah, the ai enemies are crazy, though having pve threat more dangerous than players is good thing imo, it limits the pvp a bit since people have to be wary. But if its unfairly dangerous then its just annoying since you cant survive at all.
I liked the movement, though it could be better too.
I only really start to regret it towards the end lol. The fun house i enjoy though. I think my favorite would have to be the final level though. That boss fight was fun for me to figure out my first playthrough.
