Sounds like they should have called it Underscale

I’ll see myself out

I don’t know how popular it was overall but I really enjoyed Super Mario Wonder!

I even remember buying a nice glacier blue rechargeable battery pack and never using it!

I wish I could buy everything in glacier blue now.

Generalize more! “You guys,” “normal people,” “not enough artists and creatives I guess.” That’ll help when you join a new community.

You’re writing a lot of words. Why don’t you write the service? Be the change you want to see in the world, “creative.” Nope, better lecture me instead.

Oh right, you’re “not an expert,” which means you can just spout off “how come no one has done it?? No artists I bet.” and generalize without thinking. The bold sells that.

Then you just keep typing instead of thinking.

“Why doesn’t someone just duplicate Pinterest’s search? Seems easy.” And then if anyone says something, you say “it figures. You guys are just ___________.”

Are you just here to complain? What entitlement.

Some Game Boy Advance games actually had a software-based sleep mode!

You pressed L+R and Select.

On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.

I guess it's just nobody here cares enough about that to bother with it, not enough artists/creatives around I'm presuming, bummer...

This last sentence is wild. People who don’t write software think it’s so easy, why can’t someone just whip it up?

The lack of artists is totally the reason, and not that building up an entire federated service isn’t easy.

The idea that “the lack of creatives” is the reason it hasn’t been made is astonishing. Such arrogance.

I loved the system in the first Bravely Default! It made battles go by so quickly and was so fun

Sometimes I feel like it’s nice to know that you got there. Even for a minute! I’ll take it. Haha

I think I have hope, too, that I’ll get back there.

I know that mango sticky rice is a popular Thai dessert, but I’m curious about other ways people eat it too!

If anyone else is curious, this appears to be the original, with higher resolution.

I love how vintage it looks! Usually modern vintage art loses something but I don’t know what it is.

I’ve asked three other people close to my age (they’re between 41 and 44) and none of them knew.

This is fascinating, I don’t know how this information got lost within ten years! Lol

What’s weird too is that I live where there were a lot of drive-ins so you’d kind of assume there would be more double features but maybe not

Oh hey, this was essentially my experience too, but with the Walking Dead comic! The TV series used plot points from the comic book and I think you can kinda tell where the TV series’ success started affecting the comic and the whole thing turned into an ouroboros of trying to maintain the success of a flashy zombie TV show.

I think maybe it was inevitable. Robert Kirkman’s original idea of a never-ending human drama surrounded by the pressures of zombies doesn’t seem profitable long-term without insane character deaths and (more) deliberate gore porn.
