don't get me wrong, star fox is massively impressive for its time and is definitely a classic but

no one can say it has smooth visuals at *all*

we're one of those people who can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps and even we can tell that the framerate of star fox is abysmal

the super FX was an impressive chip but it was only just barely up to the task star fox set for it

the official nintendo blurb for star fox on the nintendo online snes thingy claims it has "smooth" gameplay

star fox runs at like twelve fps, the only thing with lower framerate is virtual hydlide

best video game console

seems like he was a pretty mixed influence on the country at the time though, he was involved in replacing the opium-based agriculture in parts of the country with cotton farming, which i don't think anyone can say is a bad thing, but he was also involved in quelling peasant uprisings by force so not exactly a paragon

just looked up who exactly general tso was, wondering if general tso's chicken was actually related to them or not

turns out not, as expected--it was named in honor of a Chinese statesman and general who'd been dead for almost a century

wonder if he would have liked the dish or not

our apartment is too hot

running the dishwasher, dryer, and oven at the same time was a mistake

Left: A sensible language
Right: English (one of its more simplistic varieties, too)

for us, it's either the sharpest cheddar we can get, or asiago

a combination of both of those is really good on an italian sandwich with some ham, pepperoni, salami, and pesto

fediverse, tell me:

what is your favorite cheese? Feel free to go into specifics if you like one for pizzas and one for sandwiches or whatever, too!

(lactose free and vegan cheese substitutes count too!)

it actually works well though

but this is instant rice pilaf so it's hardly flavorful to begin with

I feel like a very important thing that a lot of people, particularly those who aren't trans or gnc, or friends with trans or gnc people, don't understand is that
- gender
- pronouns
- presentation
are three different things and are not required to align in the way one may expect

as for 16-bit style games being ported reasonably well to the SNES or Sega Genesis/MegaDrive or Turbografx-16 or I *guess* we can count the Neo Geo...

Shovel Knight: Maybe? I feel like some major changes would be needed
Octopath Traveller: haha no
Rivals of Aether: actually probably could
Axiom Verge: would require major changes to the graphics and probably removal of some powerups but I think you could do a fair approximation

i wonder how many retro style games could have a reasonable facsimile made of them on an 8-bit console (NES, Sega Master System, PC-88, MSX, etc)

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon: Probably? need to change aspect ratio though
Mega Man 9/10: almost certainly with minor changes
Mega Man α (minigame in ZX advent): maybe
Tiger, Tiger (minigame in Xenoblade 2): Almost certainly
VVVVVV: probably, yeah

revali is just falco if he was in hyrule

still feels *really weird* when people refer to their sona as a distinct entity from themself

i get that it's a thing and not everyone is kin but really it just feels weird
