Three of my friends and I went and took some money to buy a kilo of flour, which costs $85, and we were on the way.

Eman and her family are #13 on el-shab-hussein’s list and they haven’t had a new donation in 3 days. They really need funds to survive. Please donate!

WHY THEY PUT THE COW IN MARIO KART WORLD

I’m sure many people have put this together at this point, but I figured out why there are so many weird characters in MKW, and I think it speaks to why I love this game

So let’s say you’re a game designer, and you’re coming up with ideas for items that play into the whole “World” theme and work well with the new game design philosophies of an open world Mario Kart. Eventually, after a lot of back and forth, theres one idea on the table that you all feel like could be fun: Kamek!

After all, he’s been increasing in relevancy recently as a sort of right-hand man for Bowser, and in his very first appearances, he was using his magic to transform everything into Bad Guys for you to fight. So what if using Kamek spawned a bunch of baddies to be obstacles? Fun idea! And similarly to how characters can change their costume depending on where they are on the map…what if the enemies that spawn vary depending on where you are when you spawn Kamek? REALLY fun idea.

But then someone asks the question. Did you say “he was using his magic to transform….everything…into Bad Guys”? Like…even other racers?

Now THATS a fun idea.

But then you run into the problem of scope creep. Yes, this is a fun idea. But it’s a logistical nightmare! You can’t just put a model with a couple animations in as a racer and call it a day. When you’re making a game, ESPECIALLY a game with as much in it as this, you NEED to account for edge cases. So let’s say you get turned into a bat, or a little ghost, or a goknba (somehow) and then you get hit by an item? Well okay, you’ll need an animation for that. How about throwing an item? Getting hit by lightning? Honking your horn? Turning left and right? Backing up? Crossing the finish line and winning? Crossing the finish line and losing? Hell, did you know that in this game, you have a special animation for throwing a blue shell?

And you want to just make a new racer model, complete with a full set of animations, most of which no one will EVER see, just to allow Kamek to be as fun as it can be? And this is gonna be for all sorts of weird characters, a lot of which being deep cuts since we’re putting enemies from across the Mario franchise. Like, we’re talking Cataquacks, Cheep Cheeps, Dolphins, Para-BiddyBuds, COWS of all things.

Well, fortunately they were working on the launch title for the new system from the biggest gaming company on earth, so while a lot of companies couldn’t afford the time and the polish to make all these different characters (and even those that could would see all that work as not remotely worth the time put into it) instead Mario Kart World said “well who said that no one’s gonna see those animations?” And they put them in the roster for you to play as. Because if you wanna play Mario Kart as a cow, then there shouldn’t be anything stopping you

While you’re here, i want to tell you about nader. His family has had to suffer the attack on gaza for a great deal of time now, but thankfully his campaign is now very close to its goal, which should help them get to safety.

The genocide on gaza has destroyed many things, and cut short many lives. With your help, nader ans his family can be safe!

Please, help them get there!

I appeal to you all

Ibrahim is one of the Palestinians that I've known since the beginning of the genocide along with Nader. His father is currently in a grave situation as his cancer keeps spreading. With the murderous Zionists still keeping the borders close, it makes it all the more difficult for this young boy to help his father evacuate. But with the US regime now making significant changes in its political attitude towards the genocide, even putting the Settler state in a state of anxiety, there is still hope that Ibrahim can prepare to evacuate his father as soon as the border crossing opens.

Please donate to Ibrahim if you get the chance.

€2,404/€50.000 raised

Ibrahim's fundraiser is #25 on @/gazavetters' list!

Now joy is spreading among the Palestinian people and everyone is happy about this. A prisoner exchange deal will be announced and the war will stop.

[justberc]

Finally, the news is talking about an imminent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after US President Donald Trump announced that the war in Gaza will stop within 48 hours.

I hope the war stops soon Unfortunately, these will be very difficult hours, and many massacres will be committed. I hope that you will not forget us in your prayers and that you will not stop helping us, because I still need to receive treatment as quickly as possible outside Gaza.

Please do not stop donating so that I can travel and receive treatment as soon as possible. Thank you.

7-year-old girl needs to pay for treatment session

Little Joan has severe gastritis caused by IOF-induced malnutrition and stress. More information available here. Her next treatment session is this coming Tuesday, 6 May 2025.

The cost of this session is $700 USD. If her single mother Maha cannot pay the full cost, Joan cannot receive her treatment, and her condition will deteriorate rapidly.

It is urgent that we raise the treatment cost by Tuesday! Please reblog this post, boost posts from @mahafamily1, and donate what you can!!

Current: €27,579 EUR

New temporary goal: €28,198 EUR

Need to raise €619 EUR (about $700 USD)

I officially inform you that we have run out of flour and no food is available. Within two days, the flour may run out completely in the Gaza Strip.

We do not have flour and it is expensive because the occupation prevents its entry.

Donate to save our lives from famine.
