There will always be someone to support you
super mario bros 1 and 3 bowsers:
super mario bros one bowser is much more pointy than super mario bros 3 bowser. you can see his shell is a bit more almond shaped, whereas mario bros 3 bowser is more of the round, stout and lovable one you recognize today. both of them are quite sharp though as attributed to their pixel art styles, i can imagine touching them feels about as pleasant as stepping on a lego.
mario bros 1 bowser pointy rating: 8/10
mario bros 3 bowser pointy rating: 7/10
super mario world bowser:
this man is positively sharp!! absolutely nasty and pointy looking!! his front tusks are much more defined than in previous iterations of bowsers, and his shell spikes are a bit more clustered as compared to the more spaced apart look in the previous sprites. all the more concentrated to land attacks on his hated nemesis mario with
pointy rating: 9/10 - would be a 10/10, if not for the roundness of his koopa clown car contrasting his pointyness
super mario 64 bowser:
just LOOK AT THE SPIKES ON THIS BIG BOY!!!! these pointy polygons!!! i feel like if i held hands with this bowser, he would surely cut my hand off!!! that would not stop me though
pointy rating: 12/10
paper mario bowser:
OHHHWHWHHH LOOK AT THE LITTLE GUY….I WANNA PINCH HIS SOFT LITTLE CHEEKS!! LOOK AT HIS FUZZY WUZZY TUFT OF HAIR!! even the pointy parts of this man are rounded…
pointy rating: 0/10
super mario sunshine bowser:
this bowser is quite smooth, one of the smoothest iterations for its time. not only is he physically rounder, but thanks to the story aspect of sunshine we also get to see a tender side of him emotionally as a father figure to junior. he is still one of my all time favorite bowsers. an absolute sweetie pie and a loving father…
pointy rating: 2/10
super mario galaxy bowser:
this is the render you think of when you think of bowser. he looks like he is trying very hard to be intimidating but i am not fooled by his facade. i would absolutely cuddle this man
pointy rating: 5/10
concept art bowser:
hrhhrhhgohgogoooghhh….hehrhrhhHRHRHRHRHRHGHHHHHHHHHHH………HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…………AAAAAHUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…….
pointy rating: -12/10
hey i just wanted to put a quick post up for people that may not know, cuz i certainly didnt until a couple years ago, but the whole prescription glasses industry is a massive racket, and i wanted to let people know about the more affordable options for buying or replacing glasses
when you go to an optometrist to get your eyes tested, they take a lot of measurements and will give you a prescription that lists things like how near or farsighted each eye is, spherical and cylindrical measurements for astigmatism, etc, but one measure they almost always leave out of the portion they give you is your interpupillary distance, that is, the distance between your pupils, measured in millimeters
the reason they leave that out is because if you have your full prescription, including the interpupillary distance, you can just go online and buy glasses from a place like zenni optical for less than $20 USD. and if you go and buy them online, thats ~$200 they dont get to bilk from you
so, you have two options, you can either request your interpupillary distance number when you get your eyes tested, which they cant legally withhold from you because its medical information
This Is Specifically Enforced By The Federal Trade Commission!

they dont get to withhold this! a lot of them will lie to you, or try to skirt around it, because they want your money. raise a fucking stink. this is an argument you can win.
the other option is to measure your interpupillary distance at home, using either a ruler and a mirror, or a phone app which is made for this purpose

once you have your full prescription information, you can buy glasses online, made to your specific prescription, for well under a TENTH the cost of ones you would buy at a brick and mortar store
