No es GTA 6. Es The Last of Us 2 con DLSS 5 filtrado. Los modders lo metieron en todo en un día y ahora Abby se ve más cara que Vice City. ¿Sigue siendo “next gen” o ya nos acostumbramos a menos?

Submitted for your approval: my TOP FIFTY design decisions in WarioWare DIY. This game has been a huge influence on me for the design of @castlexyz. What does it look like when Nintendo designs a game development tool that anyone can use? 🧵🪡👇🪡🧵

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.

Due to the unique way Super Mario Bros. stores its maps, its level designers were at the mercy of the decorative hills and bushes when placing bottomless pits. While the pits can be placed freely, the decorations are non-negotiable and dictate the level design.
