Time to overanalyse the #BowsersFury trailer! :D

(This is a thread!)

 To start off, the giant Super Bell has cat accessories that neither existing variant of the bell has. Funny. It also makes a meow, unlike the regular Bells.
Semi-open world? Guess this adventure is very much like 64 or Odyssey.
The Goombas are a different colour to the Cat Goombas in the regular game. Likely because they act like regular Goombas, and so are "cat Goombas" rather than Goombas with the Super Bell transformation.
Junior has his Paintbrush from Sunshine, which is cool. But it has a Junior emblem, just like in official promo art for Super Nintendo World!
These flowers are paw-shaped!
Literally everything is cat-themed (obviously), but I'll still make note of them all. (Particularly enemies).
Conkdors.
Some weird "Cat Coin". Will it function like Green Stars/Star Coins? I dunno, but it has a special animation + sound when collecting.
An actual cat! This one is just a little bit bigger than Mario, if we estimate by the scaling with the flowers.
The "Big Bell" (as I will call it from now on) is emitting a smoke, it's not just covered in some spiky material - said material is "magic" of sorts. There's also coins in front of it, as if Mario (or someone else) has to make an offering to activate the Big Bell.
These towers look weird. Almost like UFOs rather than the towers, due to the black substance covering the top.
Boomerang Bros. Note that Mario ALSO has a Boomerang power-up, so it's not ALL cats. Neat.
More kitties! These ones are smaller and less realistic in their fur colours than the Calico one from a couple seconds before.
funny cat heiroglyphics. They show cats, the cat trees, and a sleeping Big Bell.
Plessie! And I'll also take this moment to say that this area really is open-world. We're quite a far away from that island in the background.
Plessie can now dive! Works as a boost thing, kinda like in Fortnite Battle Royale (sorry, but it's the best comparison I can think of right now).
Cat Stingby looks dumb. lol
We get a look at what is the "goal object" of Bowser's Fury, some sort of Cat Sun. Does it work like a Power Star/Power Moon/Shine Sprite in earlier games?
cat spike in da air tho 😳
Mario gets his Ground Pound to Higher Jump ability from Odyssey. I wonder if this will be added in the core game too, as we got the Dive in the first trailer.
Cat Biddybuds. Note we're in a snowy environment, so likely this whole side adventure has more than just the seaside.
I was right! This definitely looks like a colder area. Also a slight closeup of Junior.
Some weird spring item, looks a bit like something you'd see on a real-life cat tower/scratching post.
Cat Koopas in the distance, and what looks like an arena. Will we be getting cat-themed boss fights, too?
Junior's paintbrush starts off covered in black ink, then changes to rainbow paint. Did he accidentally cause all of this, or did he find the paintbrush in the "ink"?

(Gonna have to update the thread manually from now on.)
Some gameplay featuring Junior. Is he AI-controlled or can we play AS him?

also cat piranha plant gettin decapitated
Junior has to paint over these to activate them. Kinda like how paint does stuff in Sunshine. Neat!
Cat Pom Pom, who appears to be in the snowy arena. Hopefully we get more than just cat versions of existing bosses.
yup, they act like power moons. this is a good thing!
So "Fury Bowser" slowly awakens during the storyline. That's a cool touch.
the cats are cute AND THEN THERE'S BOWSER
HE LOOKS SO COOOOOOL
THE DUDE LITERALLY TURNS THE SKY BLACK WITH CLOUDS AND IT'S STORMING, ALL WHEN JUST WAKING UP
Is the side story in two parts, pre- and post- Bowser awakening? Also, this is cool.
The rocks that rain down resemble the Moon Rocks from Odyssey. Does Bowser's Fury take place after Odyssey? Is there lunar connections? Maybe.
angry cats
just this scene looks so fun to play in
these even glow when given "energy", just like the moon rocks from odyssey
cat cheep cheeps
another cool shot
The Big Bell causes Mario to do the promo art pose!
super saiyan mario. Gonna call him "Lion Mario" as the fiery fur gives a Lion-like look.
ANOTHER COOL SHOT!!!
to finish off, this artwork looks really cool!!

At Christmas, many of us are getting new computer games.

With the season, we also turn to nostalgia & looking back on the past. It's often hard to shake the feeling that games of our youth were simply better than games coming out now. Let's explore why that might be (1/22)

"Well, that's clearly because games in the 80s and 90s didn't have any politics and forced inclusivity"

Nope, that's complete bollocks, and nothing to do with why you remember those games so much more fondly

(maybe I should have started the thread with this, lol) (2/22)

For the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to arbitrarily draw the line between modern and old games at roughly the early 2000s.

For many, the 'golden age' of gaming is the era from the SNES/Genesis to the early years of the PS2, Gamecube, and Dreamcast. (3/22)

There wasn't just one thing that made games from that period feel so great. In my opinion, it came down to 7 interlinking key constraints. As development teams & players looked to overcome them, they had to either mitigate or innovate.

Let's look at each of them in turn (4/22)

First up we have:

'Just enough' hardware performance

Games were finally able to look *amazing*, as long as developers knew the limits of the platform they were working on. You couldn't push for realism, so instead you had to commit to an artstyle. Reply with your favs! (5/22)

Now that I have a little more time, I'd like to go into detail as to why this is such horseshit.

-39 Seconds- The implication that the PC release was of the quality standard they intended and that's extremely hard to believe. 1/many


-49 Seconds- Leadership Team is deeply sorry (not at fault), don't blame any specific teams (hold onto this one)

-1m42s- Describes a process of making the game look great on PC and then backsliding to "Old Gen" despite the game being announced before PS4/Xbox hardware was known.

-2m11s- Describes the old gen disk bandwith as "it is what it is" Considering the game got announced before those consoles even shipped, its absurd that the entire game was built so far beyond their possible constraints. Also, those consoles put out stuff like Tsushima late gen.

-2m19s- "-our testing did not show a big part of the issues
you experienced while playing the game" This is probably the worst part. Despite telling you not to blame any specific team, the test / QA team, somehow didn't discover the issues with the game.

You don't need to have worked in Dev or QA to know that the game was flying apart at every level (even on PC). The idea that the bug nightmare that ended up shipping seen for example here https://t.co/bgDkfQMVku went under the radar of a PROFESSIONAL QA TEAM is ridiculous.

I was todays years old when I learned that Final Fantasy VII's Midgar Zolom is an exceptionally badly translated reference to Jörmungandr, the world serpent from Norse mythology.


The other name for Jörmungandr is Miðgarðsormr, which got rendered into katakana as ミドガルズオルム, or "Midogaruzuorumu".
But when it was translated back into English, the translator didn't get the reference.

So they split that into the city name Midgar and the rest as... "Zolom".
Which is not a word.

It was supposed to be a bit of a pun in Japanese. Midgar, the big city in FF7, is named after Midgard, the Old Norse name for the Earth (as opposed to the other realms of the Nine Worlds)

so obviously a big snake living near the city of Midgar would be the Miðgarðsormr, since that basically translate as "Midgard Serpent"

So @moreelen posed the question about "How to stay motivated with side projects". I left a few tips but I wanted to elaborate here.

After 5 years on @Hellscreen_Game , Here is a little thread about how I stay motivated

1. Post GIFS of cool things you have made.
Short ingame gifs help bookend your days work and are great for sharing what you are up to. The response will give you snippets of motivation to carry on.
I make posting GIFS a key part of my working day.

2.Dont bother with blogging or long dev logs.
These just sap time & energy away from the game, so unless you write to relax I would skip this. Instead,use that time on the game itself. I do enjoy super quick feature making of's though (if they take the same time to make as a GIF)

3. Keep a log of what you do.
It's is easy to feel like you haven't accomplished much so I like to keep a simple .txt with a list of the things I set out to do & the things I accomplished. It reminds me of my progress & can double as a quick commit message at the end of the day

4. Try and find the fun tasks.
When you are working on non player facing (or non GIF-able) stuff, its again easy to feel like you haven't done much. When I am bogged down in refactoring or save systems etc, I try and save myself something small and fun to do, like a VFX.

There have been many video video games which have been tailored to films. Although Android video games characteristic a retro feel, as they’re relatively easier to develop.

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-


What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

THE EVOLUTION OF OUR NATIONAL FLAG (1857-1947)

The INDIAN NATIONAL FLAG is not just a flag! It's a testimony of patriotism and seamless sacrifice. A symbol representing one of the oldest civilizations on this planet.

Let's hope what happened yesterday never repeats!

(Thread)


After the revolt of 1857, the first Indian flag was designed. The design was based on western heraldic standards with "Union Jack" in the upper-left quadrant and a "Star of India" enclosed in the royal crown in the middle of the right half.(1)


The flag was a symbol of the direct imperial rule in India.(2)

In 1904 the first Indian flag which stood for India's independence from the British was devised. The design was provided by sister Nivedita, an Irish disciple of Swami Vivekananda.(3)


The flag was red and yellow with an image 'Vajra' (weapon of god Indra). The phrase 'Vande Mataram' was written in Bengali on it. The red colour and the yellow colour signified freedom and victory while the symbol of vajra stood for strength.(4)

Some ofthe biggest breakouts occur after Volatility Contraction, the analogy is that more a spring is pressed, higher it jumps whenever it gets released.

There is a VCP Scanner on chartink (Not mine). This may also be used to find potential Breakouts.

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.
