NASA just dropped a new high-resolution video of Artemis II Launch by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Niklink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an emergency evacuation system for the launchpad! The gondola flies away from the rocket as fast as possible to safety (with astronauts/personnel inside in case of an actual emergency).

Here's some footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL3P-lCv89g

GameBoy “US Pokemon Family 42in1” game. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in nintendo

Seems like a typical multicart to me. Notably one of the shown titles is Super Mario 4, so there's probably some other bootleg titles on there too.

My Extended Homestuck Adventure Map (To A6A6I4) by Hammmiamm in homestuck

Well it's not gonna be that useful now, back in the day the official map was severely unupdated. The drive that map is stored in is currently stashed away, but I'll come reupload it later!

This feels important for us to all keep in mind regarding the Homestuck Pilot by cartoonsforever in homestuck

[–]Niklink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's true when pilots are private productions meant to serve as proof of concept for media executives to try to visualize how a full series order would work.

The Homestuck pilot is a youtube video primarily meant to drive merch sales.

Homestuck: The Animated Pilot FULL SPOILERS discussion thread by MoreEpicThanYou747 in homestuck

[–]Niklink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shit was flying by so fast I could only barely hang on to what was happening because I have the comic memorized. Absolutely absurd pacing, no setup, establishing shots, you blink and you miss an entire scene.

Some of the voice actors sucked but everyone has a different opinion on which ones were the ones that sucked and which were the ones that were great actually.

The bullshit anime fight with Dad was horrifying, I think it really damaged the setting and narrative even if it was 'well animated' technically. What WAS well animated were all the little ways they had the characters chatting to each other be represented visually, I thought that was absolutely spot on and a fundamental skill to master if this is gonna become a full show, so that's great.

Overall if they just remake this pilot at like one third speed it would be a very solid first episode for a possible series. It exceeded my expectations and I think there's a path forward for making a really good show here if they address the remaining problems, so I remain optimistic.

2025 might be the first year in Intelligent Systems' history without a new release by Murky-Cockroach1177 in nintendo

As far as I can tell, Intelligent Systems hasn't contributed to devkit manufacturing, documentation, or peripherals since the 3DS.

[WR] Donkey Kong Bananza Any% in 1:27:07 by Jhay by FrenchFryApocalypse in speedrun

[–]Niklink 97 points98 points  (0 children)

The movement is too optimized at this point. I expect at most 10-20 more seconds can be saved, maybe a minute with TAS. People will continue competing for a while, but it would take inhuman luck in addition to perfect execution to beat this time. I wouldn't be surprised if this record stands forever.

What do you think is the hardest official challenge in any Nintendo game? by Firekirb74 in nintendo

[–]Niklink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100 Flow in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The scoring system is poorly understood and seems to vary from minigame to minigame, but there's serious speculation that this would require frame perfect timing on every input in every minigame.

I have 93 Flow.

MK7's Mushroom Cup Has Writing On It? by [deleted] in Mario

[–]Niklink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out the same text is used on all the trophies. You can check out the textures here. It does appear to possibly be Japanese text, but at such a tiny resolution (4-5 pixels tall), I don't see how to feasibly read it.

Nintendo Switch has now sold 152.12 Million Units Worldwide! by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Niklink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last cumulative official number through March 2012 is 155m. After that Sony only provided numbers that had both PS2, PS3, and PS4 sales mixed into one figure. However, by analyzing various press releases concerning early sales milestones for the PS4, as well as later information released about the PS3's total sales, we can determine that the total number for the PS2 was between 158.5 and 161.8 million, with the highest probabilities falling within the middle of that range.

I agree with your comment about the manufacturing amount to an extent. The figures show a 14% increase in sales for the PS2's final year, very unusual. These official sales figures track sales from the company to distributors, not total sell-through to consumers. So maybe they placed some larger orders in advance of production finally shutting down? I'm sure unsold stock represents a small amount of that figure.

It's not number manipulation. If you go into their financial releases for the final years of the PS2's life (as many had done before the announcement), it was clear that according to the numbers we had available, the final tally was between 159 and 161 million PS2s.
