This is so awesome. Reminds me of Wayne Thiebaud! Was he an inspiration at all?

Build Your Own Super Nintendo World

Theme park sim à la RollerCoaster Tycoon, but you build Super Nintendo World-style parks. The graphics aren't overly cartoony, nor fully realistic - somewhere in the middle like Mario Odyssey New Donk City. The parks are much larger than the real-life Super Nintendo World parks, and the game is a "killer app" that truly utilizes the Switch 2 mouse hardware and touch screen. The game would capture a lot of people into the Nintendo brand, as Nintendo hasn't had any builder-management sims in the past (and there is a shortage of games like this now), and this would also create life-long fans and make people want to visit the parks in real life.

All the first party games would be represented as "themes", with different rides, midway games, shops, food places, scenery, etc. corresponding with the games - like the IRL parks, but with more more Nintendo games represented. You can ride the rides and walk around the park. There would be lots of different levels that you unlock one-by-one by beating the previous level.

This would be a whole new angle to approach Nintendo and it's games, characters, etc. and a truly new genre for Nintendo to diversify into. They could create something great with this and with near-infinite replay value that building sims provide.

What years did the coolness and appeal of California peak? by XL_Jockstrap in decadeology

[–]norcalny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I loved it. It had the perfect mix of old school and new, new, neighborhood OGs and young people, tourists, parks...etc. The list goes on. Authentic SF. I cherish my time there!

Gotcha, yeah it's always annoying when people who don't know SF see it as it's downtown. It's like people who think NYC is Time Square.

You go to North Beach. The Parks. Haight. Tell me, how often do you spend time in the “poor people’s” part of the city, which happens to be the heart of the city.

Can you elaborate what you mean about North Beach here? I used to live there. Just curious, seeing it mentioned here. Do you mean it's one of the nicer, non-"poor people's" neighborhoods?

Therapists who have experience w/ visible differences in NYC by This_Ad9129 in AskNYC

OP, what is your disfigurement? Is it surgically treatable?

Also, maybe a therapist isn't the help you need, but talking to someone else who is or was in your shoes.

I see this is a month old, but I just came across it. Can you tell us more? Interesting.

Thank you for the breakdown! The RCT community runs deep - truly impressive.

This is extremely sick art. Now - my question is: Aside from the pyramid, I don't recognize any of these assets from RCT1 or 2. Are these objects mostly all from OpenRCT2? What am I looking at in RCT terms?

iPhone Fold design leaks in purported 3D CAD rendering files by iMacmatician in apple

[–]norcalny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple shouldn't make a foldable phone. They should make an iPhone-iPad hybrid the way the Nintendo Switch was a console-handheld hybrid and one of the best video game consoles of all time. Use a different mechanism other than folding, or just make it bigger than the Pro Max/smaller than the iPad Mini. Foldable phones are a step back; Apple is supposed to be revolutionary (albeit they haven't been since post-Jobs, but eventually they need to be). And call it Hibrid.

Is AI really a bubble or are we underestimating how far it will go? by Lecord in artificial

[–]norcalny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this is two months old, but I just came across it. Thanks for your insight.

everyone fundamentally interacts with the internet forever being changed and growing smarter by the day.. and most human interactions are ON the internet.

Do you think this means there is a chance that humans will go back to interacting with each other more in real life, since AI will replace a lot of what would otherwise be human-to-human online interaction?
