Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It was called the Nintendo 64 because if you throw it at somebody it does 6d4 damage.

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

5e rules say most people are going to have 1d8 of health, and fireball does 8d6 damage, so I believe this. I've felt one hit me in the shoulder after falling off an old crt TV.

What possessed you to sit on an old CRT TV?

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well the tv was larger than I was, so it seemed like a good idea at the time!

I love that one of them is actually correct.

[–] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

[–] scops@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For real tho, what species was that controller designed for? Ergonomics be damned.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It had 3 configurations for your two hands. 95% of games had you use the middle prong with your left hand and right prong for your right. A handful had you use the left and right prongs (D-pad movements) and one or two used the middle and left (twin stick shooter setup).

It was called Nintendo 64 because that's the maximum number of players that could be supported in a single game.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately no one was ever brave enough to push the console that far...

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was called the N64 because it took them 64 tries to get it right. Just like RU-486.

[–] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

It's called the Nintendo 64 because that's how many grams of sugar is in a serving of mountain dew if you look at the number in a mirror.

Wii don't talk about the Wii.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

It was called the Nintendo64 because it was made of two 32bit Nintendo PlayStation prototypes taped together.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It was called the Nintendo 64 because it's for ages 64 and up

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

As someone who missed the 64, I can relate to the number of people required to hold the controller. I played one a few years ago and that controller was incredibly awkward.

[–] delitomatoes@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's called the Nintendo 64 because it sounds lucky in Japanese

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

pedant: it does not. Although it would typically be read 'roku-jyuu-yon' (though some people here call it the 'roku-yon' instead), 'shi' is another possible reading of 4 which is associated with death.

[–] delitomatoes@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

No, I get the whole thing. I just wanted to save someone reading that and actually thinking it was true in Japanese or having to go search.

If you turn 360 degrees you are not walking away from whatever you just faced.
