A person of eclectic tastes. From animals, to cartoons, to video games, to toku and even more. I've heard of a lot of things over the years and like to try and keep an open mind.They/Them or He/Him pronouns acceptable. If you want me to tag something please ask. If you want to chat I'm also always willing.

In Super Mario 64 DS, normally only Mario can fight King Boo to obtain the key to unlock Luigi. When Mario enters the boss battle room, he sees that his reflection in a large mirror changes to look like Luigi. Internally, this is accomplished by mirroring the movement of the control points ("bones") of Mario's model and simply applying the bones to a Luigi model instead. Since the two are so similar in build, the result appears natural.

However, if glitches are used to bring Wario into the boss battle instead, it becomes apparent that this method was not designed to work with anyone except Mario. Since Wario's bones are arranged very differently from Mario's, Luigi's model becomes distorted and unnatural upon copying them, as seen in the screenshot.

Note that the screenshot was taken by increasing the internal resolution of the game and this could not be seen in such clarity on original hardware.

your friend brett in 2003: “hey guys! ready for a deathmatch round in blood gulch?”

you and your two other friends who found a glowing crystal in the back of your house that gave you a prophetic glimpse into the future where the three of you live successful lives but only if brett dies following a series of finely-connected events that begin with him winning a round of deathmatch on blood gulch: “yeah brett you’re on”

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
