Mario 3D World has a lot of pipes that lead to an island with a single Toad House or a Casino and I don't understand why they just put the Toad House or Casino where the pipe is.

The island with the house was there first. That's the island where toad lives / the island that has unenforced gambling laws.

there generally also used to be a miiverse fairy saying that they love mario and their mom and dad fight a lot next to the toad house so it was more of a reward

There's no gifs of Mario riding 3D world pipes for some reason, so I was forced to compromise my artistic vision.

when the developers can't be bothered to animate something so there's either a flash of light or a fade out/in and afterwards a door is opened or a monster appears or whatever. mostly seen in mid-budget jrpgs

i can accept this if there's a speech bubble with a little drawing of a log with a hacksaw embedded in it instead

Your "postingnsytle" is somehow perfectly calibrated to make me want to make non actionable threats of murder in minecraft/roblox/fortnite creative mode\valheom/ etc. Every time my eyes accidently set upon them. Stunning

having characters change clothes in a natural way (as opposed to like a camera cut or a sims-style spin-around-whirlwind model swap) is something people are still figuring out how to do. the mass effects used some clever camera tricks to convince people that clothes were getting removed, and the witcher 3 handled it in a pretty funny way with yennifer, but we only just started figuring it out properly with that one cutscene in uncharted 4 where nate takes off a suit jacket

it's funny. we can throw around reality-bending magics, catastropic explosions and apocalyptic monster after apocalyptic monster, but a character putting a shirt on is still staggeringly difficult. one of those funny oddities of doing everything in real time...

video game characters have to be very careful taking off their clothes or they clip through them. quistis is still recovering from a brain injury from when she climbed a ladder behind rinoa.

Yakuza figured it out by just having a dramatic cut to the character’s back tattoo when they rip their shirt/jacket off

Terranigma at least gives you somw.goofy looking moves and you dont have to level up your magic and weapons nonstop. And theres no cool down timers on every action. AND there's no ring inventory which is one of the worst things about som that frequently goes unremarked upon. OR interminable spells animations. Thank you

honestly the worst thing about terranigma is the sound it makes when you bump into walls. love the game though and visited some real life locations because i saw them in the game as a kid
