If you missed it in the announcement:
"Super Mario 3D All-Stars can only be purchased until March 31st 2021. Owners can still play its entire contents after this date has passed, and can also redownload it from Nintendo eShop if the software has been archived."
Uh... Seriously?
June this year marks 20 years of The Spriters Resource. I'm not really one to celebrate much, but I've spent over half my life dedicated to the site & even longer to archiving game graphics. I feel I should recognise the milestone somehow.
Ideas? Always happy to chat about it!
Platinum's public lying about the reasons for a voice actor change for Bayonetta is astonishing, and the fact that it was because somebody stood up for themselves instead, needs to be acknowledged. The stress this must have caused is monumental. Please support Hellena.

Amazing artists like who worked on Sonic Mania's opening started out like you. I still have his sprite sheet from 10+ years ago
This is apparently what the UK Government is providing to struggling families to feed their children each week - allegedly £30 worth of food.
Checked the actual cost at Sainsbury's, even being more generous with portions, and it's a third of that. Where'd the £20 go?
So the "Encyclospeedia" from SEGA has started to hit customers, and inside are a huge number of images taken from The Spriters Resource and The Models Resource.
I think it's great that they've found our sites useful.
Never been contacted by them...

Self-inflicted product scarcity is shady, nasty, fomo-baiting bullshit. There is no reason nor excuse that I can really agree with from a consumer point of view.
Nintendo, always out to limit their own availability to boost early sales & prolong value of their products.
Twitter Feature Idea:
Spoilers. Allow a tweet to be flagged as a spoiler, with a brief explanation on what it's regarding. Would save a lot of upset on the platform and allow people to follow whoever without fear of being spoiled.
Watched Cats last night, and I still don't know what happened in it...
But man, it sure is a piece of art to make something that really does feel like a group of screaming alley cats trying to make a production.
I'm proud to say I've lived long enough to see rapper SouljaBoy get technology so wrong that he believes rebranding cheap Chinese knock-off emulation boxes, marking up the price significantly & loading it up with illegally distributed ROMs constitutes building "a tech company"..
I'd appreciate multiple audio tracks on YouTube - allow us to dub our videos, not just sub. Would allow let's plays with or without commentary, channels can give audio commentary on their videos, dubbed translations... Lots of possibility.
Twitter legal experts are on the case for DidYouKnowGaming.
So far I've learned that we aren't journalists because we aren't certified, we broke the law because of an NDA we didn't sign, we should ask Nintendo if we want to say anything about them, and Nintendo should sue us.
Seems a huge number of people have been banned from CoD: Warzone for no reason - including those who have paid for special editions. The ban apparently even applies to the single-player campaign.
Activision Blizzard will not review any bans.
No explanation. This shouldn't happen.
I do love people just posting images from our site without referencing. It took this person all of 2 minutes to download this image and post it.

To make it clear: They absolutely don't need to contact us, it's their artwork, their assets, they can do with it what they want.
But to have someone say "hey thanks" would be nice. It's a somewhat thankless role, knowing they didn't even render their own images.. Kinda saddening
I like the way that people that dislike the Undertale fandom are actually just as bad as the Undertale fandom.
The idea of getting into an Uber and hearing my own voice is kind of terrifying ngl
Don't forget that Saudi's crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman Al Saud, owns a major stake in SNK titles since last year.
He is an authoritarian who had journalists tortured & murdered in cold blood by hired assassins.

For the record, has informed me that the SouljaGame Handheld (souljawatch.com/products/soulj) is a knock-off Revo K101. For twice the price. Even after discount.
The sick thing? People are buying this cheap bootleg shite because he has an unaware following. Shameful.
With this video, DYKG Extra comes to an end.
and I have been working on this show for over 5 years now, and had a great time, but also massively burnt out. We've made almost 1 video every week... To say it's tiring is an understatement.
So excited to be able to finally announce... We're opening a pub!

We all know that negative comments can often hit home harder than others, but somebody left a really lovely one directed to me and it's left me feeling good!!
Nothing says "grey, dull British Friday" like bootleg Mario decorated ice cream vans.
Y'all remember The Stanley Parable Adventure Line™?
Now is proclaiming that the shop system Shopify is racist because they've deemed his store a risk. That isn't racism, Soulja, that's being smart. To play the racism card is insanity.
If your goal is to shit on whatever name you had for yourself, you doubled down hard.
Always appreciate these guys sourcing us in their images, but nobody visits through these. Nobody is typing out a URL in 7px font on a picture, when it could actually linked so they possibly would.

The only three environmental textures that have been actually redrawn in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars version of Super Mario 64 are the Boo paintings and the Bowser sliding puzzle. All others, like the Hazy Maze Cave map on the right, use AI upscaling, making the texture blurry.
My girlfriend's present wrapping skills are next level
Serious accusation about refusing medical treatment & people are justifying a man's health being ignored because he might have cheated at video games.
Yes, his cheating is a big deal & shouldn't be ignored, but no, he shouldn't be refused treatment for it. Get perspective.

Spriters Resource turns 20 in a few days!
June 2003 the site started, handed to in January 2005, I took over in March 2006.
I've now been running the site longer than I was alive when I took it over at the age of 15.
I am thankful daily for the privilege.

If 2/3rds of your budget for anything is going towards anything other than the thing your budget is specifically set out to pay for, I think you have done a pretty crappy job of budgeting.
There's an unused portrait for the Dr. Mario viruses in Smash Bros for Wii U found alongside Ridley & Metal Face.
"Hey Nike, sorry can we just get your approval for our expose on your use of slave labour? No? Oh, okay, sorry for disturbing you…"
So a comment on the Spanish DYKG knock-off's latest video even mentions that it's information they've never seen on any other show on YouTube before... And the fucking channel loved it.
Talk about audacious...
People really be out here thinking the DidYouKnowGaming team are millionaires or some shit, it's absolutely mad
I get people make assumptions, same here, but like... They watch our shit, do they not want us to afford to do so? We aren't making 5 figures each month, far from it.
Grown ass adults shouldn't be wasting their lives away just playing video games.
They should be beating video games, what do you think this shit is, little league? This ain't no game, son.
Don't do this often, but, if you've used Spriters Resource in the many years it's existed, know that you helped make the site what it is. Never would've kept at it if not for you all.
My good vibes always go out to you. Has been many years & I'll still love you for years to come.
Seriously, with peace and love... Who hurt you, Jason?

If companies could keep releasing remakes of games featured on DidYouKnowGaming's Region Locked, that'd be bloody swell!
Live A Live getting a localised release is incredible, the fact it's a remake is just unbelievable. The fact it is in the style it is brings me SO much joy!
Something that might have slipped the net for some regarding SNK and their latest King of Fighters 15 announcement.

Reports coming out that SNK has been bought by Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, the largest shareholder of "Electronic Gaming Development Company". He has allegedly 100% funded the purchase.
He is accused of assassination and torture.
Regarding The Spriters Resource & Gigaleak data.
People are angry over our choice no to host any data that came from the recent Gigaleak package of Nintendo prototypes. Our reason is because of the distribution of personal information and email correspondance within the leak 1/5

When I started an online community as a teenager, I had no idea what people skills were. I barely knew how to handle myself at the time. But over the years, I've had to support people struggling with mental health issues, like autism, without any training whatsoever... [1/4]
Recorded possibly one of the most wild scripts so far for DidYouKnowGaming - many facts that I had no clue about and which give a great insight into a franchise I thought I'd never discover anything new from.
Shocked nobody has brought any of this up before! Very exciting :D
WHO KNEW, it's Roy and Ryu. These are from game files. Sorry that video went out so early...

It's a F2P Chinese Gacha game that plays similarly to BotW with some mild differences, mostly involving multiple characters you're supposed to unlock based on chance.
It's apparently not awful. But it is likely a risk for those with tendencies to pay out for gacha games.
This is, as a matter of fact, an idea

I've been told by several people in the industry that they used Spriters Resource instead of assets provided by publishers because they're a more usable format & sometimes of higher quality. The fact the site was started by children nearly 20 years ago makes that kind of funny.
TIL people are passionate about other YouTubers voicing things on DYKG. It's honestly a huge honor to know that picking somebody can not just make their day, but also many others. <3
Since it's becoming a bit of a joke with and @matttVEVO - I thought I'd upload the original recording of the fall damage line from the on Mario Glitches. This was the first time I had read it too.
Getting to the point where I cannot listen to people's comments anymore. Being told you're wrong constantly because you have an accent different to theirs is genuinely insulting.
Guess what? We speak some words differently to Americans. Get the fuck over it already.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 has grossed $104 million. Sony's highest grossing film of the year. You should all be deeply, deeply ashamed.
Seeing comments claiming that because we said Genshin Impact looks like a bit of a BotW knock-off in one DidYouKnowGaming video, everyone is now saying the same.
I don't think that we were the first, nor the last to make that connection. We also don't have THAT much influence.
Wanting to do a bit of a collab on a side project; who are some of your favourite informative YouTubers you think might be interested in something for DYKG?
If you get tagged, we might not pick you out as limited spaces etc. but hmu and we'll see!
With news coming out that GameXplain was paying staff abysmal rates of roughly $2/hr, I just want to say that this isn't the case from and

Heads up, if you had DMs open, Twitter decided for you that you don't want that, and changed the setting to only allow DMs from verified users.
You have to change it back manually. Why didn't they retain the setting you already manually chose? I truly wonder...

Looks like Twitch is finally cracking down on low-key porn aimed at minors - which is great to see, considering I received a warning from them 6 or 7 years ago for having my bare feet resting on my coffee table.
It feels genuinely amazing to finally have a copy of our book in my hands - I'm glad we sunk extra funding into going for a larger size and improving the quality of the print. It's really paid off... I feel immensely proud.

Holy shit, this is hilarious to me
Game companies use The Spriters Resource to recover their graphics all the time, so they can reuse it in their games. I love that.
But if they use The Spriters Resource so they can recover that artwork and sell it off as an NFT, I'd appreciate if they just fucked off instead.

Imagine selling a product, and then taking it back without justification - and stating you don't need to even give justification. Sounds like a multi-billion dollar industry of entertainment to me.
Hey, help me out; DM me some trivia that we might be able to use at some point as a "Random Piece of Trivia" for DYKG Extra. I'll include a lil shoutout if we use it!

Man, what is anyone under the age of 30 supposed to do at this point? Life is just unaffordable.

This isn't exclusively a Call of Duty issue - this is a policy issue of that applies to the industry at large. Publishers should never be able to revoke paid access without justification and reasoning.
Blanket Ts&Cs justifying stealing consumer's money isn't acceptable.
If we now live in a position where we can't give perfectly legal information on a major platform for fear of corporations backing corporations, we may be stuck having to give it in a physical format. They can take down a video, they can't burn a warehouse of books...
