Under very specific and highly unfortunate circumstances in Super Mario All-Stars, Mario can die during the cutscene of rescuing Peach after defeating Bowser in World 8-4 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
The footage shows hitboxes of objects to visualize what happened. If Mario defeats Bowser while his hammers are being thrown, the hitboxes of the hammers freeze in place while the actual sprites unload. Normally, this would be irrelevant as everything after this is a cutscene and as such should not use hitboxes at all.
However, the game dispenses a Super Mushroom that falls from the top of the screen if Mario defeats Bowser as Small Mario (to allow Mario to be roughly the same size as Peach when she kisses him and prevent her from having to bend down). For this, the game actually turns Mario’s hitbox back on during the cutscene so that he can collect the mushroom. If one of the hammers happened to be in the precise position on screen where Mario stops to wait for the mushroom, he will be killed by its hitbox.
In practice, this scenario is exceedingly rare, but has been reported happening organically to some players over the years.
Legitimately self-compassion is the biggest mental health life hack of all time. I’m NOT talking about self-esteem. You do NOT have to like yourself one bit. You don’t have to believe that you’re a good person who deserves good things. You just have to believe that you’re a person who deserves the things all people deserve.
You can’t get from “I’m the Worst” to “I’m a worthy and lovable person” without passing through “I’m just a regular fuckup like everybody else.”
Try it on. If you’re really addicted to being mean to yourself, you can start by framing it as I’m Not Special. Embrace being a regular fuckup like everybody else.
Oh wow so me saying “no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason” has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.
I’m a simple bitch. i believe the purpose of government should be to improve the lives of its citizens and protect its most vulnerable members. unfortunately i live in a day and age where this gets me labeled an enemy of the state
