She tried her best and failed miserably. The lesson here is never try.

Yep! Here’s the reference for anyone who hasn’t played or doesn’t remember it from Mario 64.

As sad as it is to say I’d recognize those poorly rendered clouds anywhere.

taiyang,

To add, it was a fully voiced letter. In N64 era. To young me, that blew me away (plus it was my first 3D)

I’ll always remember my WTF reaction to hearing Mario for the first time. “THAT’S what he sounds like? What’s wrong with him??”

Jackcooper,

Very different than the crappy animated cartoon

“Swing your arms from side to side…”

I would have preferred Lou Albano’s voice, although I got used to his canon voice.

sundray,

“Wha-hoo!”

rickyrigatoni,

He’s Italian. That’s what’s wrong with him.

That was the last time she was referred to as Princess Toadstool. She was called her Japanese name Peach from then on.

And then years of watching Gen Zers go back and play Super Mario World on the SNES and then wonder aloud who “Princess Toadstool” is.

What’s the reference for people who know the Mario reference but stopped playing games later in life and don’t get the Zelda reference?

(also, consider the Eowyn reference, with aragorn+stew)

Muscar,

What? Zelda and Mario have coexisted since 1986… The first game for each was only released a year apart (the first Mario game came out in 1985, first Zelda game in 1986). The Mario reference in this is from Super Mario 64, which was released in 1996. I don’t think there’s any specific Zelda game being referenced.

Everything you’ve said barely makes any sense. And there’s no LotR reference, you can’t just say “uuuh, they eat food in this too!!” and say that’s a reference.

Your whole comment is like a fever dream.

Damn, why so hostile?

The root question of my comment is, why is Zelda’s saying her cake is bad vs Peach’s whose is delicious? I had to assume it’s from some newer iteration of the Zelda franchise that I’m not familiar with since the image of her appears newer than Mario 64. So if someone (me) did play Mario 64 and understood that reference, but doesn’t know the newer Zelda entries then this doesn’t entirely come together for that person (me again).

Then my mind jumped to- assuming that there is some zelda-franchise lore about her making a shitty cake, well, here is another franchise with another female character offering food to a male character with humorous undertones, and that could be used to riff on this meme that OP (or whoever) could make. “Dear Aragorn, Please come to Helm’s Deep. I’ve made a delicious stew for you. Yours truly, Eowyn” etc. Not really a stretch unless you’re artificially limiting yourself to nintendo franchises.

I may have been a bit buzzed when I posted my previous comment but I really don’t think its incoherent enough to be raked over the coals for.

Thrickles,

Yeah, this version was shared in April. No source provided, unfortunately.

Hey can you just go ahead ban me from any subs you mod? Don’t want to accidentally get into chains where I get sanitized mid conversation because of your Pollyanna version of civility and obvious grudge against me.

is it a war crime to hit the griddy to the tune of cantina band after killing someone?

n3m37h, do gaming w What a frightening suggestion...

I’ve killed as many Helldiver’s as I have bots in Helldivers 2. Am I a war criminal meow?

drislands,

That seems… statistically unlikely.

n3m37h,

I’ve only played about 10 bot missions vs about 500 bugs.

drislands,

Then I take it back! Statistical likelihood increased!

Objection, do gaming w What a frightening suggestion...

Does this also apply to more fantasy oriented war games?

No, the ICRC is talking about video games that simulate real-war situations. It is not suggesting that this apply to games that portray more fictional scenarios such as medieval fantasy or futuristic wars in outer space.

A few media reported that certain virtual acts performed by characters in video games could amount to serious violations of the law of armed conflict. Is this correct?

No. Serious violations of the laws of war can only be committed in real-life. A person cannot commit a war crime simply by playing a video game.

Should the article author be accountable for intentionally writing rage bait? Sources say “yes”!

Also The Guardian: “Anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times

Real “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously” out of the UK paper of record.

Accountable to whom? There’s no victim.

VirtualOdour,

This is a headline that idiots have been reposting forever without context - they’re taking about IN THE GAME

Donkter,

That would be hilarious. Just one CoD that drops a patch and every player who committed a war crime spends entire matches in a prison.

Calling in an airstrike to win a round of Call of Duty and immediately transitioning to a JAG themed game of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

DragonTypeWyvern,

How many egalitarian democracies do I need to make to pay off my determined exterminator debt?

Sorgan71,

Its not my fault if unwilling fungus people make really good workers.

BrokenGlepnir,

I’ve made people who’ve rebelled against the hive mind edible and genetically engineered them to be docile and delicious.

UNY0N,

Of course you have. That’s what that game is for: creative war crimes.

On a side note, I recently did a tree of life plantoid budding build, they grew SO fast. I got big quick, started being really nice to everyone, integrated or vassalized lots of neighbors without having to fight much at all. I called them the vegan borg.

I’ve heard some philosophical musings on the dominant species of life on Earth being wheat, based on how much time and energy the global ecosystem spends cultivating and spreading it.

Given how many times I genocided entire nations in Civilization, I guess they’d better send me a one-way ticket to Nuremberg.
