Super Mario 64 was on an 8 megabyte cartridge

All of Ocarina of Time? fits in a 32 megabyte cart

Resident Evil 2? less than 64 megabytes

My answer to this, by the way, would be Tenochtitlan, though it's not a current name for a place. Largely for the not-too-interesting reason that I just really like how Nahuatl sounds, it's a very good language

kind of wild to think, the largest N64 games were 64 MB

I want to know what people think so: tell me your favorite place names! The ones that really stand out, whether because they're very fitting to the place, or because they have or tell an interesting history, or just because they sound neat

if overwatch is so good, why isn't there an underwatch

how exactly did "shoutouts to simpleflips" become a meme anyway

i like that the bunny in mario 64 is named after the processor (MIPS) of the n64

I want to try one of those japanese melons that every video game with fruit-related things uses as one of the options

tried a mentos for the first time

they're... really bad mints

we finally have the spoons to take out the trash that we've needed to take out for like a week, and the forecast says it's not going to stop raining at all today

reminder: ​

taurs are nice, but have you considered: hextaurs

writing systems are categorized into alphabets, abugidas, abjads, syllabaries, and logographies

but in theory it should be possible to devise some form of writing system that isn't any of those

what would that look like, i wonder?

why did the wonderswan never leave japan, anyway? It seems like it was moderately successful in japan and could have been more of a competitor to the gba

apparently, there's a video game from 1998 where the developer saw FFVII and thought "this is crap, I can do better than this"

predictably, it's terrible in a rather hilarious sort of way

also for some reason it's called Ancient Roman despite having nothing to do with ancient romans whatsoever
