    Every single piece of software we need to use feels like it's gated behind some goddamn subscription.

    Autodesk Maya? Could get a license for $6,000 before. Hefty? Sure. But this is nothing compared to the $1,700/year subscription they currently impose! WTF!? I rather lay tons of money for a software I know I'm going to keep, not do perpetual payments that are easy to lose track of.

    These subscriptions are a freaking infestation on society. Mario Kart Tour is currently mired in TWO separate subscriptions, as if that game is even worth playing for free to begin with (it's not).

    Why do heavyweights even go faster in Mario Karts? Lightweights should be at the advantage not the likes of freaking Wario.

    I find heavy weights are hard to master. I seldom am passed by them.

    I bet the most paranoid parents think this forum is a community of not likeminded Mario fans that are young adults and teens, but weird, shady 46 year olds that draw stupid pictures about each other every August and laugh among themselves.

    There's a special place in hell for Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Italian sports car drivers (esp Maserati) and it's full of Spiny Shells.

    Where do ducks go at night? Well, during 2 am I saw a few floating on the pool. I must conclude they are having pool parties.

    Egyptian geese (or as I call them, Nile geese) are widespread around these parts. In fact, Wikipedia states they have become established urban birds in the Western world. Notably, California is mentioned as one of the places that host feral populations of Egyptian geese, so you might have some degree of familiarity with these birds.

    Do the Egyptian Geese differ in appearance to the American Geese?

    "American goose" isn't a specific term; are you referring to Canadian geese in particular?

    I believe the plumage in the Canadian goose shares much of its colour palette with the Egyptian variety; both species are predominantly light-brown with spots of white and black. However, the adult Canadian goose is best distinguished by its black-coloured head and neck, while the Egyptian goose has characteristic, dark-brown marks around its eyes—if viewed from the side, the goose almost looks it's wearing a domino mask!

    Crash and Rayman fans that want their characters playable in Smash can now find common ground in seeing how equally loathsome their "frat boy" publishers are AND their devs teams (Toys for Bob, Michel Ancel gone) are pretty fractured now.

    While you're mourning for AlphaDream, be glad it doesn't have employees that install cameras under the sinks in the unisex bathrooms, pointing at the toilets.

    Every time people spell loser as "looser" it makes losers sound like they have laxatives in them. It's kinda gross. So please feed your words a bit better, and they'll drop that extra o.

    On a serious note (and after having realized it's been talked about already) feeling the equivalent to what the kids call "being ratio'd" on Twitter dot com does suck but please keep the genuine and concerned advice hidden inside the shroud of mild irritation in mind and let that sink in.

    I may have downloaded and stolen a 20 year old game that hasn't been legally available for years without inflated second hand market prices, which is really bad and evil because I'm stealing, but at least I didn't drive someone to commit suicide during a business trip.

    How the heck is "vineyard" pronounced like "vinyerd" and not "vine yard"

    the English language deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet

    Just out of curiosity: are you a native English speaker?

    Either way, while that is a cute mispronounciation, I'm not sure it warrants being embarrassed for.

    Yes I speak fluent English
    I just had that meme in my files because I was going on a rant about how this language sucks and I thought I should share it
    And it is a little bit funnier because Mario is an italian as well(look at the meme again)
    every time I think this language sucks I remember some languages have words for weirder stuff
    tsujigiri is japanese for trying out a katana on a chance passerby
    I am trying to learn to say i don't know in every language so I can say I dont know that Language in that language

    Mario didn't really do anything. It was Wario and Waluigi's machine that set off Bowser's bombs.

    MARIO tipped over the machine with a bullet bill. It WAS Mario that set it off. BUDDY.

    Hey, don't be sad that I bullied Mario. Here's something to even things out.

    Baby Luigi needs clothes to become intelligent, as eloquently illustrated by Ray Trace:

    Meanwhile, Mario shines brightest when he's topless.

    I remember people in Smash Bros. 4 complained about Mario's U-Smash granting Mario's head invincible hitboxes. I'm like, bruh, attack ALWAYS had those hitbox, even back in Brawl, and it's always been a good move; it's just that Mario's toolkit has improved a ridiculous amount since Brawl that you just started noticing the good qualities of a move now backed up by a good toolkit rather than a mediocre toolkit (and a more friendly environment compared to how hostile Brawl was).

    Well, there are more broken games than Smash 4.
    Sheik's F-air in melee is not only auto-cancelable,
    but the hitbox is the size of Fox.

    Melee is definitely not a balanced game, but some issues people have with stronger characters are sometimes nonsense. Like, people didn't complain about Mario's moves *until* Mario was an actual usable character rather than, in Brawl, just a short-ranged character that could do some damage, but suffered with KO problems, and, while he didn't have a *terrible* moveset, he just was outmatched by those with better combo and kill ability; it didn't help his recovery was highly exploitable and he was prone to being chaingrabbed to death.

    Why does Mama duck keep getting her babies stuck in the pool? It's like the third time this week.
