How the fuck did you learn to breath through your mouth, OP?

>>3039865
Tip hotline

>>3039865
What else would you do? Naturally you're gonna try it. Besides, I think a Toad tells you.

>>3039876

>>3039865
It's on the back of the CD case

>>3039865
My uncle worked at Nintendo.

Didn't Bowser tell you to not do it when you first enter the castle?

>>3040237
You're actually told by a toad and signs.

>>3040302
How the fuck where you supposed to know how to talk to toad with no tutorial and subsequent achievement?

When will /v/ fuck off?

>>3040390
That day would be the death of this board.

>>3039865

Toad tells you

>>3039876
Came here to post this.

The rather obvious staircase leading to the painting in OP.

>>3040867
Also the fact that there was absolutely nothing else in the room, it was pretty obvious what they wanted you to interact with...

And the fact that when you ran up against the painting it rippled. You know, like water. Inviting you to jump in.

Christ, underage faggots are cancer.

Doesn't the picture wobble slightly if you punch the wall? It's been so long since I played this but we all did figure it out back then

>>3040390
/v/ took over this board like they took over /g/ and are thankfully unsuccessful at taking over /a/

>>3040974
I wish they'd take over /a/ as it couldn't possibly become a worse shithole than it already is

>>3040981
Yeah I wish they only talked about cowboy bebop and whined how moe is gay all day too.

>>3040984
I haven't watched cowboy but would still prefer that to them only talking about little girls all day in present form

>>3040990
So you're actually one step below /v/. Way to go, we should make you a mod.

>>3040981
>>3040990
/a/ talks about and likes a variety anime, not just cute girls sol. The retro anime doesn't get talked about because it's been discussed to death. If you made a thread bashing 70s-90s anime because lol its not k-on, you'll be called a shitposter and told to fuck off.

>>3041001
So deep. Much discussion

>>3039865
By not being retarded.

>>3041005
Anime is super gay, dude, we get it.

>>3041020
Yeah, that's why I only shitpost on the non Chinese boards on my Chinese Cartoon anonymous forum

>>3041045
Gee dude don't be such a fag hater.

How the fuck were you supposed to know you had to go in the castle at the beginning?

Also how were you supposed to know to throw the bobomb king in his back 3 times. Game is so fucking cryptic

>>3041226
It's weird how things in the game you do are instinctive as opposed to them telling you what to do. King Bombom can't be attacked from the front, there's little penalty for losing the fight, so you try to hit him from the bank back and pick him up.

>>3041246
I did hear stories of kids who thought you were supposed to throw him off the mountain instead, couldn't beat it and got stuck and ended up getting the chain chomp star as their first.

>>3039865
You guys are easily baited. No wonder this board has become terrible. To those who have a brain: report the thread and move on.

>>3041254
Wut? This is an old repost you newfag.

>>3039865
I don't know. I guess I wasn't a fucking retard. I explored. Bumped into the painting and saw it ripple. Then I decided to try jumping at it.

Wasn't really that hard to me but I'm not a retard.

>>3041254
I really wish the jannies/mods here would delete (or at least lock) shit like this, considering it's a blatant violation of global 6. Really, all of 4chan would benefit from stricter moderation, but I doubt that'll ever happen because of the inevitable "muh free speech" backlash. Just look at the shitstorm that happened when GG was told to fuck off of /v/.

>>3039865
by not being retarded

>>3041275
Yeah man if only they made a site with a user rating system and strong moderation called Reddit.

>>3041306
"Strong moderation" implies consistency and respecting the spirit over the written word.

>>3041314
"Strong moderation" would make this place no different fro many other shithole on the internet and there would be no reason not to use reddit or some other site which is much more popular than this place you dumb faggot.

Fuck off somewhere else if you don't like the way this place runs. Don't come here and try to change it to your faggot ways.

>>3041306
Or it could be like /wooo/ where serious discussion actually occurs because repeated shitposting gets you banned. Compare that place with 4chan's (newly ruined) /asp/ and you'll see what I'm getting at.

>>3041321
That's it, I'm leaving for Reddit. You CAN ignore ego jerking in there. Anyone coming with me?

>>3041321
do you think banning people for shitposting is the same as changing the way replies are nested and adding upvotes and downvotes

>>3041321
>Don't come here and try to change it to your faggot ways.
But this board use to have pretty consistent moderation. Going back to that would be a return to form and much better provided the shitposters fuck off as a result.

>>3041331
Are you legit retarded? Have you never read a history book in your life?

It's always intended to make a place better. But then once it gets better people eventually come where they don't belong and try to make it better again. This always continues until you end up with Reddit. Moot was a fucking faggot who fucked with the site too much as it is because he couldn't handle what he created anymore.

You don't have to respond to the shitposting you know. It only occurs because you and other faggots can't help but open your big fucking mouths about it. Don't open shitposting threads and don't post in them.

The whole site shouldn't change because you're bothered by something you could completely ignore if you weren't a dumb asshole.

>>3041331
You can actually change the replies to display by date, similar to how every bulletin board works. Although of course, that won't stop high voted replies from garnering all attention.

>>3041275
4chan is designed to have virtually no moderation and tons of shitposting. That's what makes it unique. It's probably the only (popular) place left like that on the internet.

Introduce strong moderation and you kill 4chan.

>>3041256
That makes my point even more valid you newerfag. If people fall for older bait then that implies that people on this board are both easily baited AND stupid.

>>3041353
Who's falling for bait here?

>>3041321
People come here to discuss interests and hobbies, and maybe to share pictures.

Not to fling feces.

>>3041337
>But then once it gets better people eventually come where they don't belong and try to make it better again. This always continues until you end up with Reddit.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Either way, I usually try to report and ignore, but people fall for bait regardless because of easily the general population of 4chan gets its jimmies rustled. It's obvious that we need moderation when shit like this or the Genesis "BWAAAANG" thread or the thread that is literally a picture of the AVGN with the caption "James Rolfe" gets replies every single time its posted. I honestly don't see what the downside to stronger moderation is (at least from the user side; of course it may not be logistically feasible from the moderators' side). It's not going to turn 4chan into Reddit, it's only going to discourage people from deliberately making boards shittier because lol I trol u. There are rules on 4chan for a reason; they should be enforced.

>>3041352
If you want that, go to /b/, /pol/, /v/, /r9k/, or any one of the other containment boards. To me, 4chan should simply be a high traffic imageboard where one can discuss a number of topics. The whole "cesspool of the internet" phase died a long time ago anyways.

>>3041359
I am!

>>3041361
I only come here for gay porn.

>>3039865
You heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy who probably read it in the manual or something.

>>3041367
The only person with jimmies rustled here is you, my man.

>>3041367
Honest question, what IS wrong with /r/retrogaming ?

>>3041374
Tbh you're right. I shouldn't be getting this worked up over an imageboard anyways. I need to get back to playing some vidya.

>>3041369
It's interesting how the porn boards really don't have these problems. Can't remember the last time I've seen shitposting on a board like /s/, but it certainly isn't as often as here.

>>3041376
I haven't used Reddit in a while desu (like 5 years), but one for leaving was that it's much slower there. Not as much traffic, plus it's much easier to share pictures and videos on an imageboard than on a aggregator website that takes you to a new tab every time you want to see a post. Also, the upvote/downvote system encourages hivemind behavior. There your content can only get noticed if it appeals to the widest group of people; differing viewpoints are buried under piles of downvotes.

>>3041396
Don't forget the SRSer getting caught distributing borderline kiddie porn.

>>3041401
Didn't hear about this, but what one user does outside of the website wouldn't change my opinion of the site as a whole. Mad Thad (who often talked about /a/ and /b/) got caught with CP too, but I don't hate 4chan. Then again, if that guy from SRS was distributing it on Reddit, that's something to be alarmed about.

>>3039865
Because, before the game even came out, you'd seen it done on TV a thousand times?

>>3041352

>4chan is designed to have virtually no moderation and tons of shitposting.

No it's not.

>>3041582
2ch moderation only deletes actual illegal content and they manage to self-moderate. This isn't working on 4chan because every little babby expects the hot pocket eaters to come to the rescue when their feelings get hurt.

>>3039865
The fucking game itself tells you to, OP.

>>3041582
Please learn the history of the chans, starting from ayashii and amezou.

I thought /vr/troopers would know better.

The room's design frames the pictures as entrances

Everything from the carpet to the little staircase to the perspective the player has when they first enter the room is subliminal suggestion to go toward the painting, which ripples slightly when you touch the base

>>3040390
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but every board doesn't even remember /vr/ exists. All our shitposters are ours only.

Yeah, and America's origins involve whippen' dem colored folk so they pick that dad gum cotton faster.

Origins are meaningless. Times change. Your "histowy of animeyamashi" is irrelevant bullshit.

>>3041736
You know why it doesn't work? Because when someone sees something he doesn't like, he will dedicate hours at a time to make sure that nobody gets to discuss it in peace, up[ to and including use of spambots to auto-sage the thread.

>>3039865

Everyone read the manual in those days. We are missing this vital feature in emulation.

>>3041908
>new meme

You enter a room where there is nothing of interest but a fucking detailed painting on the wall.

You're not supposed to "know" it. They just assume you're not retarded and at least curious.

>>3041005
That's nothing. You should see the "Kiss your imouto on the butt" threads.

>>3039865
Toad tells you you little shit

>>3044245
How were you supposed to know to talk to the mushroom?

>>3044312

Wait, thinking about it... how were you supposed to know you were supposed to turn the console on? How were you supposed to know that you had to turn on the TV? Devs back then were absolutely madmen.

>>3041254

>To those who have a brain: report the thread and move on.

I want to. But the OP technically does not break any rules, so the mods will just warn me for false reporting.

>>3039865

TAKE YOUR ENDLESSLY REPOSTED THREADS BACK TO /V/

DON'T POST THEM ON /vr/

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS REPLYING?!

>>3044332
How were you suppose to know to ask questions on an anonymous image board 20 years after the game was release?

How the fuck were you supposed to know the mid-point was an elevator?

>>3041251

Yeah that included me. It took me a week or so to read in a magazine that I needed to throw him on the ground.

Similarly with Birdie. None of my family could beat the first level until we called up the nintendo hotline, which had an automated voice recording telling us to jump on the egg.

>>3044486
>Similarly with Birdie. None of my family could beat the first level until we called up the nintendo hotline, which had an automated voice recording telling us to jump on the egg.
But surely once you'd been introduced to the concept of picking up things (including enemies and projectiles) you'd think to at least try picking up the egg.

Picking enemies up was the thing that got me as a kid. It was on an arcade machine in this pub we used to have family drinks, etc on a Sunday.

I'd played Mario 1 so I thought I'd get it. I jumped on a Shy Guy and was just so confused why I was standing on its head.

I never even figured it out. I had to ask some kid in school the following week what I was supposed to be doing.

But after I knew about picking things up in general, the egg thing followed naturally.

How the fuck were you supposed to know to jump over the goomba?

>>3046097
Actually I can explain that.

Early in the game you encounter a mushroom, a goomba, and blocks. The stage is set up in such a way that you find out the following concepts; yellow mushrooms are good, brown ones are not, and that jumping into blocks well break them and reveal goodies.

how the fuck were you supposed to know to put the cartridge in the slot?

/r/ing that picture of Mario 64 where it highlights everything and tells how far Mario is away from the painting

>>3039865
I googled it.

>>3046229
Got two versions for you, anon.

>>3046401

>>3041321
kill yourself, you 2012fag

How the fuck were you supposed to know not to immerse the N64 in washing up liquid? It doesn't say not to in the manual.

>>3039865
it took me perhaps 10 seconds to figure it out as a child, no need to bother us with your incompetence.

It was a puzzle obviously.

Woah Dude Sick Meme Hahahah

The blurb on the back of the box literally mentions leaping into paintings.

>>3048084
Nice Photoshop bro

This here is why people say todays generation have no work ethic.

You were supposed to tinker with the game, experiment, try everything and anything you could, until you figure shit out.

People who expect everything to be spoon-fed are insufferable in my opinion.

>>3049674
A large amount of that was artificial longevity, poor game design, shit/obscure logic (Bet you can't explain why you use a saddle on a snake in King's Quest), and deliberately fucking you over because you opened a specific door too many times.

You are the insufferable one, acting like games were paragons of design back then. They weren't. They were often plagued with all kinds of problems if they were any more complex than a platformer.

>A large amount of that was artificial longevity, poor game design, shit/obscure logic

This may surprise you but the best game design is based around creating an environment where players can work out how to play on their own.

It's really sad that some people think good game design = an environment where players can make no mistakes EVER.

>>3039865

Why are those wall textures covered in color noise?

>>3049690

Paragons out design? No, the games were messy. Confusing. In some cases complete nonsense. That is the whole point. You had no choice but to get good by investing a lot of time into a game and really learning it inside and out. It's like comparing hiking over uneven terrain in actual nature to walking on a treadmill while staring at a video feed of nature.
