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.

    Crazy I’d be interested to know why they did that 👀. I try to stick to second hand parts to keep the costs down but my only option is eBay really as there don’t seem to be many places that sell used PC parts round here

      That’s where I got all my used parts too. I don’t have as many issues with eBay as I do with other online marketplaces luckily (and as far as I know they haven’t done anything scummy which is a plus), but something about it just rubs me the wrong way. Idk what it is
