i started keeping track of whenever i saw the oven tweet used for something a few years ago. just today learned i could actually put them together as a list
BREAKING: Yuji Naka has escaped custody by jumping out of a helicopter and sliding down a series of steep city streets by using a piece of debris as a snowboard. The government has deployed their fleet of massive semi trucks to contain this threat
Funnily enough... watching twitter fall apart from on twitter, is a perfect example of what made a site like this valuable in the first place.
No idea what's going to happen, but the other ways to contact me are in my bio link.
"But doctor," the man cries, "it's only a few seconds long!"
"Solution is simple," the doctor says. "Stay in the time loop until you undergo meaningful personal growth, like in Groundhog Day or Russian Doll."
"But doctor," the man cries,
mildly interested in Pokemon that used to be direct counterparts but have since had their evolutionary families diverge significantly (Scyther/Pinsir, Ursaring/Donphan, ...)
oddly, Arcanine/Ninetales was temporarily an example, but both have a regional form as of Legends Arceus.

Scarlet/Violet use a bit under half of the previously-unused type combinations. I expect the rest will be used up not this generation, but by the end of gen 10.
WHY IS IT THAT WHEN THE SUBJECT OF TWITTER VERIFICATION IS BROACHED, YOUR SPARING HUMAN INTELLECTS INSTANTLY ASSUME THE MOST INGRATIATING POSTURE OF SURRENDER IMAGINABLE?
Metroid Prime Game Dev Story - The One Where We Fridged a GameCube. Shortly after Prime shipped, Nintendo told us that a "bad batch" of GameCube CPU's shipped, and apparently Prime was the only game that misbehaved on them. We saw videos and it was clear what was going on. 1/7
In Super Paper Mario, extra points are awarded to the player for shaking the Wii Remote after jumping on an enemy. The secret to getting the highest score multiplier is to shake the Wii Remote in a way that is not parallel to any of its axes in 3D space. Details in image.
Metroid Prime's 20th release date anniversary is on November 18th. As the anniversary approaches, I'm going to tweet out a little stories about its development. Here is the second story:
open source license where you can do anything you want to with the SOFTWARE, including distributing, modifying, or selling it, but if you do something COOL with the SOFTWARE, you have to send me an email about it
The "Not even a nibble" message while fishing in HGSS has been solved! (A thread)
I noticed when resuming my Staryu hunt that only 1 game out of 3 was getting the "Not even a nibble" message. I had never seen the message before in nearly 100K fishing encounters in these games.
Okay at this point there's plenty of data as well as anecdotes from multiple active runners to corroborate this, so here's what makes the JP Postman Minigame in Majora's Mask consistent.
I'll share data and some additional information about what we do know about postman below.
Some say C is a bad language because it's not memory safe. On the contrary, that's why C is good. If Ocarina of Time had been programmed in a memory safe language we wouldn't have ACE and all the cool fun glitches & tricks it enables, which would be sad :(
Here is Miyamoto's very early design sketch for arcade Donkey Kong, back when it still used Popeye assets. Bluto and Olive Oyl are also seen. (Special thanks to Gaming Historian!)
I think that writeup has a bit too much jargon. For the explanation of the faster TAS I put in some effort making the explanation more approachable to a wider audience. It still has jargon, for sure, but I think it's better explained.
The Mario game that can be beaten the fastest is Super Mario Bros. 3, which can be completed in 19 frames, or 0.316 seconds, by pressing buttons very quickly during startup to execute unintended code. Below is every frame from starting up the game to finishing it.
