@KidbashSL Beautiful! Personally, I’d zoom even closer on the models in the portraits. They are still a little too close in size to the gameplay models, which makes them feel redundant

Instead of displaying the frame rate as a number in debug mode, Super Mario Strikers uses an "FPS Smiler" that dynamically adjusts its facial expression from green and smiling (high FPS) to red and frowning (low FPS). Below is footage of how it looks when the game undergoes lag.

Our new 4K edition of Jacques Tati’s PLAYTIME (1967) enters the Criterion Collection in February! criterion.com/films/651-play… Tati's gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with this classic.

My original idea for Death’s Gambit was that in order to beat it, you had to cancel the contract with Death. You’d have to beat the final part of the game with the fear that your whole save file could be erased if you die. For many reasons… I couldn’t pull this off correctly so I didn’t do it.

@SIACTRO Hi it’s me, player who finished half the levels before realizing I must be missing something, but saw this post and then started having a real blast. I think if the right trigger did something while running on the ground, I would have tried using it in the air! Love the game

Super ugly, temporary solution for now! The move is simply too important to not communicate :/ Will hopefully come up with something better along the way

with how many times people re-explain things to Ethan Hunt in the new one, Mission Impossible has never been closer to Metal Gear
