why is it that reporting a spambot, something i have to do at least once a week, requires navigating through several submenus and confirming before submitting the report, while suggesting a mature content label for a post, something i have never wanted to do, takes only a single misclick in a dropdown menu with no way to undo or cancel that action. moreover there seems to be no way to try and appeal a content label applied to a post unless it's your post, even though anyone can try and label anyone else's posts. baffling system

I'm really worried for all of us. I want us to be as well as possible and for that to be the case we really gotta stay informed:

(resources compiled by sp0receress and agitpropandabsurdity on IG, I just copied em to share here)

best way to protect yourself is to wear a mask (n95 or kn95) wherever possible and do social events outside if you're not gonna mask. though the latter isn't foolproof, I read a case study of a jogger infecting a bunch of people in a park. it can happen.

Hard To Name A Man

[coratorium]

In World 2-1 of Super Mario 3D Land, there is an extremely difficult to see Easter egg that requires the player to go to the Binoculars near the start of the level immediately upon gaining control of Mario and then look up, since at about 4 seconds after the level starts, a small animation of what looks like a rocket launch happens in the sky. If the player waits or slows down at any point, the launch will not be visible.

Extracting the event from the files reveals that there is unfortunately no actual rocket; the only files involved are a circular texture of smoke and a white triangle that blasts off, since the player is never supposed to see the event up-close.

Top: a well-known exploit that is used at the start of nearly every speedrun of Super Mario 64 is the Lakitu Skip. In the beginning of Super Mario 64, one of the Lakitu Bros. stops Mario when he walks up to the bridge in front of Peach’s Castle to explain the camera system. The activation radius for this cutscene covers almost the entirety of the bridge, but there is a very thin strip of ground on the railings where Mario can stand without activating it.

Bottom: this visualization of the hitbox shows that the trick is much more precise than it may appear. Note the extremely narrow width of the ground that Mario can land on compared to most of the railing being covered by the red hitbox and activating Lakitu if Mario's center of gravity is inside it when touching the ground. While many speedrunners are able to execute this trick flawlessly repeatedly, this is the result of months or years of practice.

“But they forget”

[coratorium]

During the "Tall Trunk's Purple Coin Slide" mission of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario must make his way down the slide and collect 100 out of 140 Purple Coins on it.

Since the track is curved inward and many of the coins are in the middle of the track so that Mario collects them without any active input, it is actually quite difficult to purposefully avoid every single coin.

If Mario makes it to the end with 0 coins, the Gearmo will question whether the player did this on purpose (which is exceedingly likely), admit that this is impressive, and then kill Mario anyway.

in american culture it's actually disrespectful to take time off of your job because it's seen as an insult to the economy
