Ultima Online Retrospective | The Last Hurrah

finished watching majuular's 4.5hr ultima online video. UO is quite a dear little thing to me and i think he does a great job getting into some of what makes it so special. lots of excellent historical context too, as usual www.youtube.com/watch?v=35SK...

[thinking about mario 64] i think it's really good that mario is a little difficult to control, but once you get the hang of him you can really make him sing. that's depth... that's what's lacking in galaxy and other games where mario is sticky like a little bug

thinking about how when i was a kid i had a bad memory for song lyrics (still do) and also misheard them a lot, and you couldnt just Look Up The Lyrics at the drop of a hat yet, so whenever i heard a song i liked on the radio i'd get so excited bc it was another chance to divine the True Lyrics

i keep thinking about how fun it was to play thru most of mario 64 with an extremely limited moveset... limitations really are the best spice

finding out there was a limited-availability garage kit produced for one of your favorite game characters over 15 years ago is such a curse. ill never obtain her

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that one should never use extreme temperatures to harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human to be harmed by extreme temperatures

i think my 23" monitor from ~'08 finally kicked the bucket today... turns on for a second but the left side of the screen is really dim and then it shuts off. saluting her many admirable years of service...

also: the mario 64 randomizer im playing as part of an archipelago game sometimes corrupts a letter or two when displaying cross-world item names. and. this one absolutely destroyed me (it's supposed to be "Max Nuts" from mario & luigi superstar saga)

hey did you know these stars suck to get if all you can do is marios basic jump and ground pound?? no special jumps no ledge grab no climbing no anything??? because they kinda do. try it sometime

started typing a mario 64 star name into the youtube search bar to doublecheck if it required anything more than mario's basic jumps and MAN am i glad mario doesnt have to get that other star

it always feels silly to delete and repost something that was nonsense to begin with bc it included a typographical error. but i have a set of very specific standards i suppose

i think its called the "B'Tub Ring" bc if its the 90s and youre an overworked solo games loc writer staring down a big sheet of contextless strings, you might see "raburabu ring" and say it aloud in your 90s loc writer way and think to yourself "raburabu. rub-a-dub. bathtub. B'Tub." & simply send it

trying to formulate a thought about new kirby. when they make it more Open and then show that every ability has a moving hitbox traversal technique i cant help but feel like theyre saying "this would be boring if you didnt have a way to barrel through all the filler space between points of interest"
