Reposting my magpies because I love them. And they love each other.

we prefer mint for new users for the same reason i prefer mint in many cases- its just going to work and do what most people need of their computer in a way that is better, quicker, and more intuitive than anything Microsoft's investors want to push on you

From now on, GIMP will be known as FAG!

@rpepperpotshipssciencebros please forgive me for this one

Under very specific and highly unfortunate circumstances in Super Mario All-Stars, Mario can die during the cutscene of rescuing Peach after defeating Bowser in World 8-4 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

The footage shows hitboxes of objects to visualize what happened. If Mario defeats Bowser while his hammers are being thrown, the hitboxes of the hammers freeze in place while the actual sprites unload. Normally, this would be irrelevant as everything after this is a cutscene and as such should not use hitboxes at all.

However, the game dispenses a Super Mushroom that falls from the top of the screen if Mario defeats Bowser as Small Mario (to allow Mario to be roughly the same size as Peach when she kisses him and prevent her from having to bend down). For this, the game actually turns Mario's hitbox back on during the cutscene so that he can collect the mushroom. If one of the hammers happened to be in the precise position on screen where Mario stops to wait for the mushroom, he will be killed by its hitbox.

In practice, this scenario is exceedingly rare, but has been reported happening organically to some players over the years.
