Please keep your weird stuff private, furries/scalies.

My cousin's out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Chat duty.

On a still picture taken in the right place, maybe. Bright, cartoony graphics also help. The Mario style is probably not the kind that's best to showcase graphic power.

Anyway, animation, lighting and physics is where you can see the gap between Odyssey and Sunshine. Also richer, bigger environments, even though Sunshine used a lot of tricks and already looked rather impressive for the time on that front. Well, until framerate dropped into single-digit halfway through Noki Bay.

Mario games have done that for a few episodes after this too. And also for 2D games that baffling thing where you can only save after finishing a castle or fortress.

Then Super Mario Odyssey just gets rid of lives completely, and nothing of value was lost.

Publication 1988-06-05, latest amendment 2004-12-01.

I almost expected the two dates to use different formats, but no, they're just both "the American way".

So, assuming you got the time wrong and meant you could confuse year and time of day, ISO also puts time after date.

Which makes sense. Higher unit to lower unit.

Won't be true after 9999-12-31, however.

It could happen, but especially if the game has at least some popularity on a platform like Steam I expect someone more tech savvy than average would smell a rat and start looking, or ask around, and it'd be found out.

I don't know exactly how those work, but I imagine on top of weird CPU usage it would make very suspicious network calls too. There's always a guy that sees stuff like that and goes "where the fuck are my cycles and packets going?"

Apparently so. Doesn't change that 1+2 still had only half of its content on its cartridge.

Though they'd need a 32GB cart to put them on a single cartridge, and apparently those were used for like 12 games total. So maybe it would have been cheaper with 2 16GB. After all, the Wii U version of this pack had a physical disc for each game.

The memory of your console is rippable too. they might try to make it more difficult (and fuck that) but I'm sure someone will always be able to get those files one way or another.

They certainly don't review code, but on those there must be at least a scan for the most obvious malicious stuff. I am not sure it'd detect something hidden like in the article though. After all even on the guy's PC it was only detected once it tried to actually download stuff.

The good thing about workshop is visibility, if someone notices something shady it'll be known fast. Not perfect, but probably better than getting your mods from random sites nobody knows.

If someone builds a base on freaking sand instead of rock they deserve to be eaten by a worm.
