Super Mario World was peak SMB for me. It took everything they did in SMB3 and refined it.

The only thing I think SMW was lacking was variety of powerups. You had fire and cape, plus Yoshi stuff. SMB3 had fire and raccoon, but also the weird, rare stuff like hammer, frog, tanooki, and the boot.

If they play it exclusively, sure. But people play tons of games on Gamepass. HiFi Rush and a dozen other games splitting that $15/month/account is a lot less rosy.

I’ve had Gamepass since the beginning, and since it was launched it I’ve bought maybe 1 or 2 Xbox games that weren’t on gamepass, whereas I used to average 2-3 a month. My overall spending on games has dropped massively since getting gamepass - especially on Xbox.

I think they expected more casual gamers to sign up for game pass while the more dedicated among us would still be buying new products.

Honestly, they’d probably be doing better if they didn’t put games on there day 1. Sony doesn’t put their biggest titles on PS+ at launch for a reason.

Halo and starfield had shit sales because we didn’t have to buy them. If they required people to buy the triple-A in-house titles at launch, the double-A stuff like HiFi Rush could still be released on gamepass day 1 as an incentive for people to subscribe.

As it stands, Starfield and Forza burned the money that should be used for HiFi Rush and Ori.

Not just any old malware, but insecure rootkits that allowed ANYONE to have total control over the system with their own malware above the OS-level with no way to even know the malware was there.

I love buttons. The correct number of buttons is almost always more.

Though my favorite mouse (MX Master) only has like 6 buttons, it has intelligent free-srolling and a horizontal thumb wheel. Whether I’m mapping, editing video, using excel, or gaming it’s amazing.

I keep spectacular documentation on personal projects because there’s no deadlines.

If I get hit by a bus, my office will collapse because I ain’t got time to document shit.

So many PS1-era games look so bad it hurts the experience. While SNES games like Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger look great even today.

I was among the millions to cry foul that LFD2 came out so soon after the first game. It seemed like it was just gonna be a $60 map pack.

But goddamn they brought their A game and really did improve everything about the original.

Fiduciary duty is a real thing. Agent/principal relationships require the agent to try and get the maximum return for the level of risk.

Even if a CEO doesn’t have a written fiduciary duty in their contract do, the company as a whole usually does.

The CEO of a public corporation reports to the board who report to index fund managers who have a agent/principal relationships with all of their investors.

The comment was basically shorthand for “a fiduciary duty exists between corporate leadership and shareholders, creating a legally-enforceable requirement that the only consideration be maximum potential return on investment for existing shareholders and risk.”
