We were at my grandparents’ house for Easter today, and my brother brought along the Nintendo Wii for our cousins to play

Only he forgot the sensor bar :T the thing that makes the wii-motes work and junk

Then he remembered this crazy myth he heard basically said if you light two candles, they act as a sensor bar.

I DON’T KNOW HOW

BUT IT TURNS OUT IT FUCKING WORKS.

So if you ever lose or break the sensor bar, and don’t mind your TV looking like an offering to Satan, I recommend candles :I

I’ll remember that for the next time my sensor bar stuffs up…

This also works with flashlights, in case you don’t have any candles handy. c:

The “sensor” bar doesn’t actually have any sensors. The sensors are in the Wii-mote. The sensor bar is actually just a line of infrared LEDs that an IR camera in the Wii-mote can see, which means you can substitute other IR sources, like candles and flashlights.

Science, hail Satan.

lets recap

princess peach is a girly-girl type woman who loves pink and bakes cakes and tries her hardest to be as nice as she possibly can all the time, which is probably hard because she’s also a single ruler of a kingdom of the screamiest creatures you could ever imagine

princess zelda is a mature woman who puts her land before herself, always. she’d do anything to keep the world safe from evil and is seen accomplishing this in different ways every time. she evades ganonorf for 7 years, she surrenders herself in exchange for her kingdom’s safety, she sacrifices herself to heal midna, etc.

samus aran is a strong-hearted bounty hunter who gets along with money better than anything else - except animals. she literally travels the stars wiping out gross ass monsters and escapes by the skin of her teeth.

all of these women are women?? none of them are sexist or stereotypical, because women - like men - exist in every form, including the stereotypical ones. the way they are employed in video games can become sexist whenever their personal qualities are used to imply that they’re weak or in need of someone to rescue them, but this is the ONLY time that it’s actually sexist and problematic.

princess peach is not a problem based on her existence alone. and she’s treated better in super princess peach than she is in party, sports, kart and mario 2. because in all of those games she’s not herself, she’s just a thing that is there to play as. her personality doesn’t shine through in these games at all. all the other ones have her be kidnapped, turning her into an additional plot device where it is not needed. (bowser should ALWAYS be stopped, because he’s ALWAYS up to no good!)

this is why i’ll defend super princess peach to the death, because it unfairly gets a lot of flak from people jumping straight from the diving board of “woman+emotion” into the deep end of “must be misogyny” without stopping to think about how everything works together and what the actual message is

that or i’m the only person in the universe that’s actually played super princess peach

that’s. it, i guess, i’m done talking about this for tonight because i’m pretty sure nobody cares heh
