therapist: so, tell me a bit about what brings you here me:

No disrespect to the composers for these games. But Sony / PlayStation does not have a soundtrack roster like Nintendo, where they could do a full world tour off the back of them.

Mario Kart World does not deserve.

Worked with Max Martin and Shellback for a whole album, just for it to sound like Jack Antonoff did it anyway. Girl.

Great command of the language on display here

Turn off location permissions for as many apps as you can. (3/4)

If I were to ever wear wigs, I’d be like Kashiyuka — you would never see my forehead. ‘Cos I would be too lazy to have to deal with sorting out the frontal. And this is always a question I have when I see wigs with the lace guest starring. ‘Why not just get a wig with bangs?’.

No sweetie. It was just bad.

Nintendo are getting on my nerves more than they usually do.

So deserved.

I think the Nintendo Direct should’ve honoured Gunpei Yokoi, given his involvement with not only the Virtual Boy, but Super Mario, Donkey Kong and Metroid — all of which were in the Direct. And he also had a working relationship with Shigeru Miyamoto, who was also in the Direct.

As somebody who adored Super Mario Galaxy, but didn’t get to play Super Mario Galaxy 2 — my wig budged at this. But this box art is ugly as hell. They couldn’t have created some new art for this shit and just called it Super Mario Galaxy Collection?

It’s giving Sniper Wolf and Meryl.

Today’s instalment of ‘Gems in the subreddits’.

The Life of a Showgirl.

But, sweetie... It is very true.

I was walking across a car park and passed a guy who was sat in his car blasting Lady Gaga’s “Scheiße”. I just turned and looked at him like-

This is what Fujii Kaze’s “Forever Young” is giving.

Damn. I thought this man was already dead and had been for years.

Taylor Swift announcing a new album on a podcast. Mariah Carey doing album promo on a Twitch stream. Okay then. I guess we’re here now.

Like Rapture in BioShock. That worked out great.

MTV need to hand more directors the Video Vanguard Award. They were awarded regularly in the 80s and 90s. Then they just...weren’t. Hype Williams was the last director to win the award in 2006. Dave Meyers is yet to be honoured with a Video Vanguard Award, which is insane to me.

Perfume need to release (re-release in some cases) all of their studio albums on vinyl. And these need to be the vinyl colours.

A song about being in the club, but Namie was not featured in any of the club scenes. She told the director ‘I ain’t dancing in no club with degenerates. But you can film me whilst I go for my morning walk at 5am and put that in the video instead.’

Perfume’s Nebula Romance: Part 2. A track by track mood board.

Disney is not gonna have Mystique running around with her hair slicked back and her blue titties out. Trust they are slapping a red bob wig on Rebecca Romijn and putting her in a white dress.

Nintendo won’t even listen to players and change shit in Mario Kart World which will fix the gameplay and overall experience of playing the game. Do Peta really think they’re gonna entertain this bullshit?!

I saw the first photo and was like ‘Oh, I kinda like these outfits’. Then I saw the dreaded boots in the second photo.

Heihachi had the right idea. Just throw men into a volcano.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks like it’s in good hands. Destin Daniel Cretton. You’re doing amazing sweetie. Although it’s crazy that he’s directing a Spider-Man film before a sequel to Shang-Chi.

Fix up the school curriculums. ‘Cos the kids do not know what ‘underrated’ means.

Steel Battalion (2002)

Pokémon cards were cute when it was just a cute thing kids used to collect. But just like most things in life, grown men ruined that shit. Fighting in Costco car parks. Attempted murder. Wasting entire McDonald’s meals. It’s a mess.

Y’all really think that Wanda could beat Dark Phoenix!?

Merch is a scam. I know artists are out here trying to make extra coin, but DAMN. Charging £50 for T-shirts and £100 for hoodies which aren’t even good quality is disgusting.

Squid Game 3, Squid Game 2: Part 2 — whatever the hell you wanna call it. It’s terrible. I’m in disbelief at how bad it is. The bottom completely fell out of the story. Gi-hun is written like absolute shit. Episodes drag on for too long. The sub-plots are trash. There was no point to any of it.

“Kiss My Lips”. “Always, All Ways”. “Honey and Diamonds”. “Sketch”. “It Takes Two”. BAYBEEEEEEEEEEE. When BoA taps into her pussy!?

One of the Bananza themes in Donkey Kong Bananza is a damn second-gen K-pop song. My banandium wig is on the Music Bank studio floor.

For some reason I just really wanted to hear Perfume on Mariah’s “Sugar Sweet”. So my brain came up with this.

This was the first thing I noticed about Pauline’s design too. And I would bet that the artist responsible for her look is a denim head too. It’s just too specific and personal of a detail that not just anybody would go to the trouble of including.

Squid Game 3 is rubbish. Wow.
