...y could have done a better job navigating the gap between the two platforms. Mobile gamers have had years to get used to games requiring an internet connection, but it’s a major disappointment in the traditionally offline Mushroom Kingdom. If Nintendo released a playable demo of Super Mario Run on the eShop and sold a separate full version for $10, console gamers wouldn’t bat an eye, but on mobile it’s a substantial leap of faith.   Super Mario Run: The Kotaku Review

it’s also traditionally not on phones ffs

...kicked in, Toad Rally, a mode with the primary function of unlocking new items to place, lost much of its charm as well. While some may enjoy the challenge of clambering up their friends leaderboard, I’m feeling very “What’s the point?”. Super Mario Run: The Kotaku Review

Somehow Nintendo has managed to give this auto-running mobile game the same basic feel as a standard Super Mario Bros. game, that tactile precision that you just don’t find in other titles. Kotaku contributor/game developer Tim Rogers calls it “Sticky Friction.” I’m feeling it. Super Mario Run: The Kotaku Review

good phrase, could be applied to most of the mario franchise but especially the 2D ones

“The world is changing really rapidly,” David Leonhardt, a columnist who led the group’s work, said in an interview. “We have to keep up, and even get ahead of it.” New York Times Study Calls for Rapid Change in Newsroom - The New York Times

Hard to keep up with a runaway train, harder still to get in front of it.

I have a basic subscription to the Times, partially because I admire how their intransigence is a soothing balm to all of the hot air spouted by media organizations desperate to look like they get the zeitgeist.

Tomorrow never knows, I guess.

...ds the company expand training for reporters and editors, hire journalists with more varied skills and deepen engagement with readers as a way to build loyalty and attract the subscriptions necessary to survive. New York Times Study Calls for Rapid Change in Newsroom - The New York Times

This piece bears a hugely different tone to other NYT pronouncements about the future, and the survival language is especially noticeable.

Because we would still be able to trade with Europe. We would be free to strike trade deals across the world. And we would have the freedom to set the competitive tax rates and embrace the policies that would attract the world’s best companies and biggest investors to Britain.

Britain would not – indeed we could not – accept such an approach. And while I am confident that this scenario need never arise – while I am sure a positive agreement can be reached – I am equally clear that no deal for Britain is better than a bad deal for Britain. Because we would still be able to trade with Europe. We would be free to strike trade deals across the world. And we would have the freedom to set the competitive tax rates and embrace the policies th...

 Theresa May's "Big" Brexit Speech | Genius

And herein lies the grossest stupidity of the speech: the bridge burning plunge into economic and probably social chaos is still on the table. This is May talking tough: enrapt in a misguided interpretation of the referendum and desperate to make her mark, but all she’s carrying is invisible ink.
