@Kermit1 What if the final boss is the blue screen? O__O

@Sunsy This is what you'd use to fight it

it's dry ice... so freeze the blue screen to death

@Kermit1
What the heck?!
A smoky XBOX Series X machine??

@Anti-Matter It's a hoax, but a funny one lol

someone put dry ice inside (from what I understand) and (google dry ice) it creates the smoky fog coming out of the XBOX.

@Kermit1 At least modern day BSODs aren't as alarming; it's mostly just a sad face. XD A few months ago I was having issues with my work laptop throwing an UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP error, which is fairly generic. It turns out the firewall was occasionally butting heads with my file system/Windows Explorer in certain situations. I had to disable it and use a different one.

Edit: I beat Snatcher's below post by ONE. SECOND. XD

@Fizza Never in all honesty, wile watching it, it really was a surprise, doppelgänger is also one of my favorite card designs!

@Tyranexx... Jeez that's scary!

@Kermit1 Yep. They changed it to look a bit less scary for people not used to dealing with difficult computers on a daily basis. XD

I have a slightly newer profile pic this time, and I think it looks quite a bit better. I've been using the standard bike with Mario quite a lot, and I've been getting some good online races with this build. It's still on N64 Rainbow Road, and this time, you can see that flying train in the background.

@Tyranexx Ohhh, gotcha. Thanks for your thoughts on BDSP. It's too bad it seems like a step backwards from the other remakes, at least I still have Omega Ruby. I should play more of that sometime.

Nice, been wanting to revisit it sometime. I don't think I was too good at it when I was younger, but I still enjoyed it.

Ouch. I can't blame you for being steamed...I would have felt the same way. Kinda wish they let you at least do regular jump and hammer attacks throughout SS/CS, so you'd at least stand a chance. Origami King has that, at least. Plus the more powerful variants last a good while before breaking.

@Sunsy It was nice playing Super Mario Kart with you! Have a great one.

@Tyranexx KERNEL + Computer = Comp-Corn

awful joke lol

@MarioLover92 BDSP are by no means bad, but for the most part (disregarding the Grand Underground and Ramanas Park, the Pal Park replacement) they're the same as the originals. The Grand Underground is mostly an improvement, but they neutered secret bases in the change. So it's kind of one step forward, half a step back. Ramanas Park is good too, but only if you're gunning for legendaries and want to grind mysterious shards in the Grand Underground. I wish the main overworld incorporated the improvements from Platinum.

Honestly, I'm surprised they DIDN'T keep regular jump and hammer attacks. Mario & Luigi games kept them, as well as Super Mario RPG. I do have Origami King but haven't played it yet....Hopefully before too long! Reviews seemed to suggest it was an improvement over other more recent entries.

@Kermit1 I like jokes, whether or not they're decent. XD

This is my cue to repeat that The Origami King start slows, but it’s a great game and I liked it a lot.

I’m actually considering buying Sticker Star through the eshop as part of my doomsday wish list, have the complete set of Mario RPGs on the 3DS, I’m only missing that and Paper Jam.

I was thinking to consider Kirby Star Allies and Paper Mario Origami King for my next purchase as I haven't pick Kirby Star Allies since 4 years and Origami King since 2 years so I have to get them before they are extinct in the future.

Btw, how easy was Kirby Star Allies for peoples who have never played Kirby games?

I was browsing to see the comparison between Kirby Return to Dreamland Wii and Star Allies Switch and I saw some similarities between of them in term of 2D stages + Return to Dreamland was too expensive to get from Ebay so I think Star Allies was cheap enough to experience first Kirby game.

@Tyranexx Gotcha. I never played Platinum, but I did hear it was an improvement over Diamond and Pearl. I may get at some point, especially if I don't have my DS copy anymore, but I'm definitely more interested in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Yeah...I was pretty surprised to learn that while I was playing Sticker Star. Would've liked it more if they actually had regular attacks you could always use, and just have stickers be more powerful attacks. I definitely liked Origami King a lot more. It's not my favorite Paper Mario game, but it's a pretty good one nonetheless. Loved the visuals and music in that game, too.

Never heard of one of them before, @Tyranexx .... Mind you, my PC refused to boot awhile ago, claiming there was no Windows installed & when I checked boot options in BIOS, it only had the secondary storage drive showing there at all!

@Rambler idk I just found the image on google

@MarioLover92 Definitely was a fun time too. It was also fun to play battle mode. Don't usually play that mode in the Mario Kart games, and even less in Super Mario Kart. I have more memories of doing two player Mario Kart GP than the battle mode of that game.

Oh, XP, @Rambler .... Heh, yeah, this last time was weird because I found the main drive had weirdly been disabled in BIOS, which obviously I didn't do & I've never had that happen due to a crash before but was easily re-enabled Other times, I had to put in the Windows USB I got with my PC & install it to the secondary drive to get in & find out what had happened to the primary one, which fortunately has only been a couple of times in about 2 years
Not that I'd consider myself any real expert on such things but I am good with Google, lol, so don't bother consulting me on anything like that

According to reverse image search, it's from Windows 7, @Rambler .... I don't think the 'blue screen' now usually shows all that text, which is going to be at best meaningless to almost everyone! Last time I had the 'blue screen' on mine, it just said 'sorry, an error occurred....'
