!It's actually 'golden'.
Yes, except English likes to play fast and lose with the distinction between nouns and adjectives (and whenever possible, verbs), so most people say “gold coin” rather than “golden coin”.
I have a feeling both “gold coin” and “golden coin” are valid with very slightly different meaning.
Let’s see what theexpertspedants think.I'd "gold" is even the better term for a coin. "Golden" emphasizes the color without necessarily implying there is actual Au involved, depending on context—"a golden watch" would probably imply at least gold-plated, "golden fingernails" would probably not, "golden retriever" would never and "a golden medal" would even suggest it's not real gold. "Gold" OTOH doesn't always mean actual Au ("gold card", "gold master") but usually.

It's a shame it's definitely too cold to be inferno.
Fun fact, hell is cold in the continental parts of Buddhism like Mongolia. When you're sitting in a yurt at -40°C outside, the prospect of a place full of fires will probably get you a "hell yeah!" more than anything else so their hells are frozen over by design:

This is just the name for people who inexplicably find it hard to say Qeqertarsuaq (something something polysynthetic something for "that loud place with the mirror balls")

@Zerosquare I thought it might have volcanos, but my quick research says no. They do, however, have geothermal hot springs.

I present this to you.
Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "Why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof." Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
“First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.
Two options exist:
-
If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
-
If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in hell before I sleep with you', and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.”

me if I'm wrong but I don't think a temperature drop in a container due to expansion counts as exothermic.

@LaoC hell if I know.

Do we need an
adiabatic
hell, too?

For a long time my resolution was 2x1920x1080, but for the new year (and, to be honest, a few months before it) it is 5120x1440.

I understand. I know you're entirely unfamiliar with the concept of heat.

So they’re gold-coloured or look like they’re made of gold but not necessarily actually made of gold.
In the rest of the acid trip that is the Mushroom Kingdom who’d otherwise notice the difference?
-
@Arantor Considering it's a game for the original Game Boy, they would look more like silver because greyscale graphics.
And if you want Mushroom Kingdom on a bad acid trip, just play the original Super Mario Land. SML2 is just a regular acid trip.
-
@Atazhaia ah so the “golden” is descriptive for the colour it would be if the GB palette wasn’t limited.
I only played the first one, that was enough acid trip for me not to play the second GB one.
-
@Arantor The second one is truer to Mario than the first, even if it still has some... interesting logic. The carrot powerup gives bunny ears which allows slow gliding jumps. At least they allow doing the worlds in any order, so a free choice if you want the pumpkin world, turtle world, mechanical Mario world or another first.

FTFY, Super Mario Wonder plays like a normal Mario game. Unlike the Super Mario Lands which... I dunno. Sarasaland is fucked up, I can see why Daisy wanted out of there.

@Atazhaia I don't have enough experience with acid trips to understand the difference.

I was going to say that wearing the same t-shirt is also a strong hint, but then again we're talking developers.

@remi On a more practical front, I have not yet had a feature where I spent an afternoon on implementation and three months on paperwork. But the day may come.
