How to Download Every Issue of Nintendo Power Ever

Image
Nintendo Power is an iconic part of Nintendo history, and gaming history generally . It s 24- year, 285- issue run spanned multiple generations of gamers, and helped us finish tough games played on systems from the OG NES to the Wii U. Many of us have fond memories of flipping through it , but didn’t have the forethought to save them (or hide them from our decluttering parents before heading off to college) . But that’s OK, because in another reminder there’s no better cure for nostalgia pangs than the internet , every issue is available to download right now. As reported by Nintendo Life , a group of archivists have been working on a project dubbed “Retromags,” an endeavor to upload retro magazines to the internet for fans to peruse and reminisce. Nintendo Power is the latest magazine the archivists have targeted and finished uploading. Now, you can download each and every one of those 285 issues to your computer to enjoy at your leisure. One user, Gumball, even added the entir...

The Mystery of 'Mario Kart 7's Strange Update

Image
Photo : DANIEL CONSTANTE ( Shutterstock ) When people talk Mario Kart in 2022, most people mean Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch. That’s where Nintendo puts its focus, adding new courses and game elements like customizable items , so it’s odd to see a new update to a Mario Kart game that isn’t   Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Weirder still, Nintendo’s latest news affects Mario Kart 7 , a game that launched on the Nintendo 3DS over 10 years ago. Nintendo quietly released a new patch for Mario Kart 7 on Tuesday, Dec. 13, and players don’t know what to make of it—partly because Nintendo won’t tell anyone what’s actually in the update. According to the official release notes, Mario Kart 7 version 1.2 addresses “several issues” to “improve the gameplay experience.” What that means is anybody’s guess. And guess, they have! Twitter user OatmealDome guesses the update patches a severe security vulnerability seen in other Nintendo games like Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing , since it’s possib...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
