Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one

No matter who I become
You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one

im so happy that, in many ways, DD2 is even more hostile than the original. but in a way that's super well considered and synthesizes a lot of stuff that's come out in the past 15 years that just executes on it a lot more coherently than DD1 did. basically the idealized form of a video game remake that rarifies what the original went for instead of diluting it like, most recent remakes

Super Mario Maker 1 has been officially cleared, in a somewhat anticlimactic way. The creator of the last uncleared level admitted that the level had been illegitimately uploaded with a TAS clear, so it was officially disqualified.

Some of the team is still trying to clear it manually, but it's not something they "have" to do for the terms of the challenge.

Technically, some people did complete the course themselves also using TAS, which could be seen as a legitimate clear of a level that was uploaded with TAS.

Wouldn’t Mario maker always be cleared at all times, since you have to clear your level to upload it in the first place?

Mario Maker doesn't count a level as being cleared until another player clears it.

The maker having to clear the level was just a way to try to avoid impossible levels being uploaded en masse.

Khanstant

I think there were many hacked or glitched levels, but to some extent players could also glitch different things to get through them in other ways. Used to be this guy who did videos on various tricky Mario maker mechanics but not sure he's still doing em. He had a few one various glitches and patches that got rid of them but sometimes allowed sneaky new things.

It's a shame they just dump all that work on the toilet. If I ever meet Mr Nintendo I'm gonna shame him under my breath and then yell at him for deleting all my Pokemon.

Most of the obvious ones were taken down by Nintendo and the group that was doing it had a bunch of others that they knew were impossible they excluded from the list.

This one was notable because it was by a big map designer who did one of MM1's most famous hard levels.

I can't think of very many other games that poisoned the well of their own fanbase more so than Overwatch, though I suppose Suicide Squad probably comes close.

Both likely owing to boneheaded mandates from up high.

yea to be clear they didnt update overwatch 2 at all beyond balance changes for 3 years because they were focused on overwatch 2. overwatch 2 launched with 3 new heroes, 2 new maps, and no pve mode. they spent 3 years on that. ftw.

This certainly didn't help but the playerbase fell off a cliff even before ow2 was announced because of really terrible mismanagement of game balance and the competitive scene too.

Just completely hosed around in all respects, despite being one of the biggest games ever made for a while when it launched.

It was really insane how they actively made the game less fun each patch. Of course the pro leagues they balanced the entire game around don't exist anymore and nobody ever cared while they were around, except Blizzard who thought the game should be 100% balanced around their pro performance, even in casual modes.

When they cut the ability to have more than 1 of a character, the game stopped being fun and instantly had all the suffering of a MOBA.

Outside of the mtx, I think it's pretty funny that I've seen at least one site post a guide on how to go into the game files and what save files to delete so you can start a new game because people are expecting to rush through the opening of the game and get to the first city so they can tell if the game will even run on their computers in time to refund, to the point that Capcom had to specifically address that they were looking into implementing a way to start a new game is funny

It was so fun when someone was like "let's all go dva" and everyone did and not long after there's 5 'nerf this' going off. Or going all Mercy and even the other team copies you because why not, it's fun and goofy and a good time for like 15 minutes who cares. If peos are breaking the stacking then just don't let em do it, nobody was breaking anything besides weirdo smurfs down in my leagues. They added some characters since then that seem like they woulda been fun at launch en masse, like hamster ball guy but Blizzard is dead now you're not even allowed to play their games.

when I tried overwatch the only fun I had with it was the mode that switched everyone to random classes every life, or convincing everyone on the team to pick the same character in the main mode

the next week they deleted the randomizer mode and I later learned they removed the ability to have more than one of the same class on the team lmao
