Plastic surgery in particular can become straight up addictive to some people with body image issues. As an example, it led Pete Burns of the band Dead or Alive to have over 300 surgeries, some of which were botched and led to severe health issues. He still kept doing it right up until his death.

Reading the article is for libtards, the headline is all I need!

SMG4 is one that comes to mind, having watched his channel since its early days. His older videos, while clearly lacking polish and obviously made by a teenager, were actually funny and memorable. As time went on though, his content started to slip. Sure, the production quality improved as he started Glitchy Boy and later Glitch Productions, but the humour ended up becoming secondary as he switched from self-contained episodes to various “seasons” with ongoing storylines. It meant you had to keep up with every episode to know wtf was going on (the same mistake South Park made), and his attempt at making the series more of a drama than a comedy meant that the humour was more of a distraction that made it hard to take the drama seriously. Why should I believe Mario will die this time if I’ve seen him survive being blown up, set on fire and shot dozens of times before? Some of the best characters (Bowser, Toad, etc) ended up taking a backseat to his numerous OCs as well, and the voice acting sucked compared to back when everyone spoke with various meme clips and subtitles.

SMG4 was at its best when it was a bunch of multicoloured Marios just doing random funny shit, and didn’t take itself seriously one bit. It’s pretty clear Luke’s passion is with Glitch’s other productions, hence why SMG4 finally ended.

Yup, that’s the video that made me instantly done with him. I have Adrian and his Digital Basement to get my vintage computer content and unlike David, Adrian actually knows what he’s doing and doesn’t wreck his computers.

I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.

Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.

Say something mean about Stalin or Xi Jinping and see how fast you get harassed and then banned. The same goes for your current instance.

The original Diamond and Pearl are almost unplayable without using an emulator to speed it up. Especially the health bars. Looking at you, Victory Road trainer with a Blissey!

The ROM hacking scene has had so many awesome hacks recently, I can hardly keep up! I’ve been playing Elite Redux and Emerald Rogue a lot recently, and heavily enjoyed Unbound and Gaia. There’s a bunch of new DS hacks coming that are looking very promising too, including ones with original regions. We may very well see a DS hacking renaissance soon!

Platinum fixes a lot of the issues that Diamond and Pearl had, namely the extremely slow animations and health bars, as well as the lack of available fire types. It’s the definitive way to play Gen 4, especially Drayano’s Renegade Platinum.

Yeah, text-speak made sense years ago when the length of text messages was limited and you had to do that to get around it. Nowadays it just makes you look lazy and unintelligent.

Because you must consooooooooom. Don’t think, just spend. See shiny “useful” feature, open wallet.

Paris did the same thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC: Turn roads into green spaces and pedestrian paths/bikeways and make it much easier to get around without a car. While the people there were at first unsure about it and complained, they’ve been really happy with it now that it’s proven itself to be beneficial. The air is cleaner, and the streets are safer and far less congested. It’s totally transformed Paris.

That’s… not specific in the slightest.

I don’t care what a cat drowner has to say.

Same with unskippable cutscenes, especially before a difficult boss. It’s no fun to have to sit through it over and over if I’m struggling with said boss, or have to sit through a cutscene I’ve seen several times in previous playthroughs. This also applies to the game’s credits.

Again, that’s what capture, spay and release is for. You can control the wild cat population without resorting to putting them through a slow, extremely painful and terrifying death. Don’t be a monster.

The old GM New Look buses were incredibly reliable. We didn’t get rid of ours until about 20 years ago after decades of service.

Speaking of gen 5, here’s a very strong sun team I’ve crafted up in Volt White 2 Redux: Sunflora with Drought for setting up sun, Sawsbuck as my Chlorophyll sweeper, Volcarona as a Quiver Dance sweeper, Victini as a Choice Scarf revenge killer and scout, Excadrill for rapid spinning Stealth Rocks away and tanking hits, and Emolga for paralyzing threats and abusing Volt Switch. Even the water gym didn’t stand a chance!

Renegade Platinum’s the way to go. There’s much more pokemon variety, the trainers are stronger and smarter, and there’s plenty of QOL fixes that make it feel more modern.
