Today’s game is Mario Kart 64. I was messing around in the Time Trials mode today. I meant to do a Grand Prix but got distracted just looking around. I decided to go backwards on Toad’s Turnpike for example, and I guess the car horns bugged out or something because they kept honking at me.

There was also this section where the Race starts. It stood out to me a bit. As far as i’m aware highways don’t have this weird kind of bit here usually, so it makes me wonder what this is for? Does the road have a dedicated section just for racers? Is this a real road? (Well, i guess not since it’s just a complete loop). If it’s not real, did they just build a fake highway for them to race on? Is this what the Mushroom Kingdom’s Tax Dollars are going towards?

I also stopped and looked at this traffic sign. I never really noticed it before but it’s funny to me that the Mushroom Kingdom’s highway system has road signs and i assume laws on merging lanes too.

On jungle parkway did you know the boat will turn around? I didn’t. I stopped to follow it for a bit and just found out it will go down the river and do a 180. I assumed it just kind of popped in and out when it got a chance.

There’s this little canyon river i noticed to on Peach Circuit. It’s one of those things i knew it was there, but i didn’t know it was there. Yknow? I wonder what it leads too. Looking back i should have taken a free cam and seen if it connects to anything.

There was also this little bit behind the bleachers i noticed. I thought it was interesting that it was there, and more importantly it was a sloped surface. It would have been (i assume) easier on the system and developers to just make it a square which is interesting.

Anyways, i basically just drove around the tracks and looked at things i noticed. I kind of forgot to actually play the game. There was another thing to do with the barn on Moo Moo Farms having windows on the side you can’t see that i wanted to get a screenshot of, but i couldn’t get a chance too.

    Same. I always get fun ideas for builds but then look at PC part prices and go “no way I can afford that” and the idea just sits there lol.

    I once saw a PC at my local Career Center in the Computer Engineer class that was filled with Mineral Oil irc (because it’s non conductive). That idea stuck with me because it was a very “why the fuck would you do that?” unhinged idea. They also had one with a screen slapped into the side.
