And illustration of Inigo Montoya from the PRINCESS BRIDE limping towards the audience. His sword in one hand, his other hand cradling his injuries. This is his key scene in the movie, yielding the line 'you killed my father, prepare to die.'

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.
In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, always seeming to reflect light in a narrow band ahead of the driver.
Increasing the contrast of the image makes the effect more visible.
Internally, this effect is achieved in an extremely simple way by leveraging an existing system:
Mipmapping is a practice whereby several copies of a texture are stored, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 2. The further away from the camera a point is, the smaller the texture is that is applied to it. This reduces aliasing (the interference patterns created by viewing high-detail surfaces at oblique angles) and improves rendering speed.
The textures are then smoothly blended. This is supported natively by the hardware and happens automatically.
SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER!
Original road texture: 1024x256 pixels
closer to camera
512x128 pixels
256x64 pixels
128x32 pixels
64x16 32x8 pixels pixels
further from camera
By making only the second texture slightly brighter, the system that automatically places the texture a certain distance away from the camera is leveraged to make a band of light that appears to move automatically with the player.
On the right, each mipmap is colored differently for a more striking demonstration.
Fun fact:
this usage of mipmaps to make a rainbow occurs in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64!

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:

it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

After I saw the new look of the Zelda game for the Nintendo GameCube, I waz disgusted! Nintendo GameCube is able to make extremely good graphics and Miyamoto went and used horrible graphics.

top left:
WRONG
-negating their frame reinforces it
-starts with what it isn't instead of what it is
- your argument is shaped like their argument

bottom right: large image of Kirby, a pink blob inhaling and the "autism is bad" fragment, labeled THEY'RE DOING EUGENICS

bottom left: 
RIGHT
- you eat their frame
-starts with what's actually happening
-contains and explains what they're doing

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]
