How are your nipple buttons today?
Rockstar: looks great, ship it!
Did the AI create Mario Junk™️ that had to be blurred out?
Mario dong too powerful for the internet
Most retro games
"Screenshots taken from various formats"
As a ZX Spectrum owner that phrase is still traumatising.
True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that's how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).
Of course, although in the 90s there were also some that stood out in terms of graphics and soundtrack 10 years ahead of the rest, like MDK, a real gem. Now you can play it for free, right in your browser
https://playclassic.games/games/action-dos-games-online/play-mdk-online/play ( it loads DOS Box)
or download it from GOG or Steam for Windows (€9.99)
I bought MDK two years after release for 10€ because the screenshots on the box looked pretty but I was super disappointed once I saw it in motion on my PC... Back in these days game graphics got better so quick, that a (originally super pretty) two year old game looked bad on my PC.
Well, I grew up with my first games being in the early 90s, and I'd argue the majority of that era still stand up visually today. Look at Sonic 3, Secret of Mana, Outrun, Turtles in Time, etc. They all still look fantastic. Even many NES and Master System titles still hold up today like Super Mario Bros 3 and Kirby's Adventure.
It was earlier, the Atari 2600 era to be exact, that needed an imagination...
Good examples. In general the earlier 3D games aged particularly poorly. Not only graphically but also when it comes to controls. I think around 2000 things get better, though.
Yeah, it's why I run everything up to the N64 on real hardware or my MiSTer FPGA/analogue pocket, then everything N64 and above I prefer emulation for the sheer benefit of upscaling, 60fps mods and texture packs in addition to visual accuracy if needed (Mupen64 with the ParaLLeL video core in native resolution with a good shader is as good in my eyes as my old UltraHDMI modded Nintendo 64 was).

Edit: I wish that GIF would play without clicking it (Jerboa). 🤔
Edit 2: Plays fine in Sync at least...
I'm fine since I'm using Liftoff :D
Is that Finger???
Looks like one of those stills from Ren and Stimpy, or Sponge Bob.
Hell yeah, the "gross-ups" lmao
"4K" apparently just means "some higher resolution than pixel art" now
Yeah, that botheres me, too. Also when a game is labeled to have "psx graphics" and it just means that they use low res textures without filtering but at the same time it has real time shadows, requires 4GB VRAM and uses bunch of other modern techniques.
Aftermath of exploring worlds under drainage pipes.
Mario meets the Teenage Meth'n Turtles.
Mario meets long term workplace illness. Unfortunately I don’t think Mario belongs to a union. Bowser be like “just one more castle and you’ll make it big here Mario”
JFC that’s unsettling shit right there. It makes my scalp itch
How did it know to put an M on the hat?
Because either the person who made this face the AI some extra prompting, which might explained the other oddities, or this isn't the work of AI at all.
The more I look at this, the more I doubt an AI was involved. Too many aspects of the clothing, body, etc are just way too consistent.
😇
Why is the crotch greyed out?
Mario is suffering from incontinence these days. Dude is well over 70 years old maybe 80. He was a master plumber back in the early to mid 70s, so he would have been 25 bach then, at least.
Do you have one of him naked?
I promise to make you one tonight.
Oh god, I cannot unsee the buttons as nipples from now on 🙈🙈🙈
Luigi: "Mario, I think the mushrooms are kicking in."
New Mario X The Last of Us crossover.
Is this like when porn performers complained about 4K because you could see their imperfections?
They did that?
Turns out all that jumping about in the sewers was not the best for Mario’s health
I'd say this pretty accurately shows the current state of video game remakes.
Someone needs to make a ROM hack out of this lol
Take it back!!
Thanks, I hate it.
Go back, go back!
I see AI still can't render hands well. Apparently pixelated feet give it problems too, judging from Mario's nightmare fuel feet.

Ah another corrupted by the blight of Nurgule
can we get a nsfw tag, that was very disturbing.
