DO NOT CLEAN CARTRIDGES WITH WATER.
Use isopropyl alcohol, preferably 90% or greater (the percentage is how much is alcohol vs how much is water) because it evaporates quickest, dip a q-tip in the alcohol, squeeze out the excess from the q-tip (you don't want too much), and clean the contacts...
I would absolutely not be surprised if the fact that the SNES version wasn't released on cartridge in Japan has something to do with it. Like IDK 'not wanting Japanese players to be mad because North America and Europe get the SNES version of this game and Japan gets the NES version' just feels...

the answer to the question of 'is the switch an 8th generation console or a 9th generation console?' is 'whichever option makes you mad and causes the most arguments'
1. why are you italicizing discord
2. it's literally just an instant messaging client, just the modern day version of IRC pretty much
(idk what the mariowiki discord server specifically is like though but i mean it's just instant messaging and chatrooms)
Are old usernames no longer 'locked' to the account that used them?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it used to be that any usernames you used were somehow set so that other people couldn't use them because I guess they were tied to your account via the username history or something like...
RetroArch is literally an emulator frontend, I do all my retrogaming via emulation these days to not have to deal with the mess of cables (and the costs) that would be involved if I used original hardware and games.
Anyways to keep the thread actually on-topic about what games you last played...
Super Mario 64
This is literally beautiful imo.
Get outta here with your 'rendering the game at higher resolution' garbage, I am literally running the game at its native res, with anti-aliasing and other post-processing exactly like it would be on a real system, using one of the HSM Mega...
If you haven't played the game, then your opinion is kind of pointless. It'd be like me giving my opinion on IDK the Mario RPG remake, which I haven't played.
Also the game is $60.
I'm gonna real and say this: you can't trust political polling or predictions anymore these days, especially this far off from the election.
Like look at the 2022 midterms where nearly every analyst and pundit predicted a red wave and yet that didn't happen.
Polling has been useless for years.
It's pretty wild how much bronies as a fandom died out pretty much. Like yeah there are still FiM fans obviously but they're no longer the huge fandom they once were (and the fact that there's like almost zero interest in current MLP stuff too)
Nintendo will never return to having two separate SKUs because why would they?
Splitting their output between two different systems just cripples their output. This is not the days of things like the GameCube and GBA (or the Wii and DS, which is honestly the last time where Nintendo could...
nothing is going right today
- my microwave breaks
- i get banned from another forum for two-weeks and i don't even understand what i did wrong
- i order wendy's for dinner and i want to get a frosty because i want to treat myself to something nice because of how shit today has been AND I DID...
Two observations:
1. Wow the framerate during Peach's magical girl transformation sequences (you can't change my mind that's what they are) is really bad lol
2. I missed the second hidden treasure or whatever in the swordfighter stage
