11:42 <@Dagmar> Whatcha wan' bet Allison Rapp's second job was as a nude model or something
11:45 <@oddball> who?
11:45 < _NSAKEY> oddball: I had to google her. http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/05/game-developer-group-doesnt-let-nintendo-off-the-hook-for-firing-alison-rapp/
11:45 <@Dagmar> Some woman who worked for Nintendo in their translation department who just got fired
11:45 <@oddball> ah
11:45 <@Dagmar> She's got a lot of photos up that talk about her doing a "shoot", several of which are pretty racy
11:46 <@oddball> gotcha
11:46 <@Dagmar> Either way it doesn't look like the "harassment" isn't why she got fired
11:47 < _NSAKEY> Ever since I learned that Nintendo used to run love hotels in Japan back in the 60s, I've found their kid-friendly, conservative image funny.
11:48 <@oddball> And the porno card games?
11:48 < _NSAKEY> I didn't know their card games contained porn, but it isn't surprising.
11:48 <@oddball> I think they had some that did.
11:49 < _NSAKEY> They've had a long history of pretty much saying that Americans aren't good or sophisticated enough for X, and so we get a watered down version of a given product.
11:49 < _NSAKEY> Super Mario Bros 2 is a solid example from the 80s.
11:49 <@oddball> yep
11:49 < _NSAKEY> To be fair, the real SMB 2 would have probably put a lot of kids off.
11:50 < _NSAKEY> I still wonder if Miyamoto was going through a suicidal phase when he designed that game.
11:50 <@oddball> heh
11:51 <@oddball> It could very well be that they put it out in Japan, and the Japanese told them "fuck, this is too hard."
11:51 < _NSAKEY> Could be. I know they decided it was too hard for American gamers.
11:51 <@oddball> I honestly don't know the details beyond them deciding that it was too difficult a game to market in the US.
11:52 <@oddball> And given that that was the golden age of twitch games...
11:52 < _NSAKEY> It was also like the original in a lot of ways, mechanically.
11:53 < _NSAKEY> They pretty much just added poison mushrooms and then set out making an early, watered down kaizo mario ROM hack.
11:53 <@oddball> And by "like the originl," you mean "same game, just new levels?" :p
11:53 < _NSAKEY> Yup.
11:54 < _NSAKEY> According to Wikipedia, it was the most popular Famicom game in Japan.
11:54 <@oddball> huh
11:54 < _NSAKEY> That isn't surprising.
11:54 < _NSAKEY> The way the Japanese handle video games is just different.
11:54 <@oddball> true
11:55 < _NSAKEY> For example, take arcades. Over here, we tend to keep feeding quarters to a machine to keep going.
11:55 < _NSAKEY> In Japan, they say fuck that noise.
11:55 < _NSAKEY> They put 1 quarter in, get as far as they can, and go to another machine when they die.
11:56 <@oddball> gotcha
11:56 < _NSAKEY> It sounds counterintuitive, but the end result, if you keep playing a game like that, is that you get a lot better.
11:57 < _NSAKEY> You get REALLY good at the early levels just from playing them so much.
11:57 <@oddball> true
11:57 < _NSAKEY> "Luigi, designed for skilled players, has less ground friction and higher jump height."
11:57 < _NSAKEY> Wish I had known that when I beat it a couple years ago.
11:58 < _NSAKEY> I knew about the friction and high jump.
11:58 <@oddball> Oh, they actually had a difference in Japanese Mario Bros. 2 other than color?
11:58 < _NSAKEY> But felt like Luigi was easier to use, aside from those times where you can actually jump over the flag pole. If you keep walking, they had warps after the end of the level that would actually take you to previous worlds.
11:59 < _NSAKEY> Yeah, at least on the SNES port of it from All Stars.
11:59 <@oddball> gotcha
11:59 < _NSAKEY> Luigi is still a pallette swap, but he jumps higher and is more slippery.
11:59 < _NSAKEY> When Mario lands, he can stop on a dime.
12:00 < _NSAKEY> There are also a couple of areas where you're virtually obligated to take damage. Turns out, it's actually possible to get past those areas without getting damage, because speed runners have done it.
12:01 <@oddball> because speed runners
12:04 < _NSAKEY> https://youtu.be/Dgg0RI_op9Q?t=1766 I don't think it's possible to get past that section with a mushroom.

19:54 <@sasquatc4> hmm, so this linux on windows is interesting, can even get some gui progs goin with xming
19:56 <@sasquatc4> so far ive only had gimp work tho
20:36 <@sasquatc4> seems like anything gtk based is probably ok, like gvim
20:50 <@RangerZ> sasquatc4: I'm still not entirely sure 'how' that whole linux/msft thing works
20:51 <@RangerZ> haven't had time to look into it... but it seems 'odd' and 'interesting' all at once
20:51 <@sasquatc4> well the way they made it sound was it was a shim layer to translate linux kernel syscalls to winkernel
20:51 <@sasquatc4> so thats how they can directly run elf binaries
20:51 <@RangerZ> I've said for a long time that I think Windows would be a much better OS if it supported posix/etc.
20:52 <@RangerZ> but I never thought it would -happen-
20:52 <@sasquatc4> i did manage to install X as well, didnt particularly run too well or at all, but im guessing thats due to some of the missing stuff like mkfifo, tty/pts bein sketchy, etc
20:53 <@RangerZ> also that Windows internal task manager give HUGE time slices to each process vs linux
20:54 <@RangerZ> so multitasking would have some interesting timing constraints
20:54 <@sasquatc4> well at least from the normal taskman it doesnt list the individual linux processes your running
20:55 <@RangerZ> which makes me wonder how threading on the *nix software will work
20:56 <@RangerZ> because 'multi-threaded' programs on linux is not really a 'new' concept like it honestly is on windows
20:57 <@RangerZ> well... thats an exageration... but still
20:59 <@RangerZ> but none of that really addresses the real 'big' issues such as... apt-get like functionality ... especially for 'windows' apps
21:16 <@RangerZ> I remember there being a completely windows based solution for repository mang. of apps in windows
21:17 <@RangerZ> and linux people who are used to that type of mang. dogged it and said it was 'bad' because it gave one of the best features of linux to windows
