Media rag Hollywood Reporter ought to learn that if they’re going to puke out political propaganda, they should pick people with actual political accumen to deliver it — not 2 professionals in “shouting incoherently into their microphone”. They rightfully make fun o’ some nobody celebrity for making a threatening photo o’ Hairpiece with his head […]
Late as always, since this shit always gets lost in the couch cushions… Noah Smith’s actually good critique o’ Silicon Valley: “Useless Gawker-inspired rags with stupid names like Gizmodo & Whatthefuck are hypocrites for criticizing Silicon Valley despite themselves being mostly upper-class white people who do nothing to help others & are a parasitic cancer […]
Highway to Hell ( revisited ) Music: “Dark Cave”, Pokémon Gold, Silver, & Crystal A’least the secret exit is rather clever. Here we see the importance o’ being able to take Yoshi from level to level, which is usually considered bad design in Super Mario World hacks: some exits require it. You’d think that since […]
I think I need to take a break from saying stupid things ’bout programming languages my bipolar personality will probably make me love next month — Lambda Associates e’en guaranteed me — or… everything to do with politics. So I’m going to go on a nostalgia cruise & read ol’ pages from SMBHQ; & what […]
World C: Shroom City Mainland ( revisited ) 3 mo’ levels from this disparate “world”. Piranha Trap Pass ( revisited ) Music: “Overworld”, New Super Mario Bros. As expected, the secret exit that clearly leads to that wide space on the left side o’ the map to the left is on the left side o’ […]
Nothing says smarmy pseudointellectualist like naming your website Château Heartiste. If you look @ the “about” page, you’ll see it’s ’bout… ¿some artsy vector cartoon o’ 2 incredibly bored-looking people leaning into each other o’er a couch, ’bout to kiss? After that there’s just a contact form. “About” != “contact”. Worst: I had to manually […]
1 odd part ’bout the Yellow Switch is that, ’cept for the 1st level, it’s much easier to get than the Red Switch, e’en though my “canonical” sequence ( & as I mentioned in the intro, once a mandatory sequence till I came to my senses ) had the Red Switch before the Yellow Switch […]
& I don’t e’en mind this time— stuffy hair-ridden jacket with itchy zippers, sticky bottom lip stuck with slivers. Time races with feet glued to gooey tarmack, trapped for dour hours in shiny hot cracks. ¿Why keep the pinecones you don’t e’en play with no mo’? ¿& why dream o’ snowcones in the sun? When […]
( Note: an idea I unfortunately hadn’t thought o’ implementing till now: each level’s music, most o’ which is custom [ stolen from SMW Central, adaptations o’ songs from real games ], as well as the game it’s originally from & whether or not it’s a spot-on adaption [ labelled “same” ]. I’ve also gone […]
