I love that the new Yoshi game lets you name creatures, but on behalf of wikis everywhere, big sigh of relief that they have “canonical” names too.

The stock image website that my work has a subscription to (123RF if you’d like to avoid it), is so uselessly inundated with AI images that not only is the image they use on their home page to represent “Stock Vectors” an AI image… I found the image they used, and it’s not even available as a vector

None of these Mario Kart shortcut videos show me what to do if I need to scratch my head 3 separate times during the shortcut.

I always thought he was a Taod.

Feels weird to set my Switch pfp to a character from a game I have no intention of buying anytime soon. It feels like I’m advertising and encouraging other people to buy, but I just like the character.

I think this is proof enough that the “Bluesky Experience™️” isn’t universal; I got 5 whole likes and no one has earnestly corrected my “misunderstanding” Shoutout to my 512 followers for being real ones. May the rest of the internet never find me.

That’s not Wart. Thats actually Luigi wearing a frog suit power-up from Super Mario Bros. 3 so ah… maybe screw your glasses on a little tighter next time. 🤓

I should probably have either Mario Kart World or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on here, but I haven’t decided which one I prefer yet. And you could easily swap Psychonauts and Breath of the Wild for their sequel too. #my9games

The J stands for “Jus de Pomme”

Will this Pokémon game be like the last one and have the legendary be some sort of vehicle/dragon hybrid that you can ride to get around the open world? Will it somehow tie in to the theme of wind and waves?

Breaking Pokémon News: I can confirm that the new Pokémon region is unfortunately NOT based on Canada.

When water moves, and when light hits it, the world feels alive. I feel like I go just as gaga for water in real life as I do when I see it in games. The sight of water just excites a part of the human brain I think.

Happy Pokémon Day. I’m glad Tangela is in the new one. Still not sure if the series has won me back though. bsky.app/profile/step...

My first Pokemon game was Leaf Green. Since they just rereleased that one, these new games better be compatible with all those Pokemon. I want to see them again, but they’re all stranded on the moon. (I left them there because it’s too expensive to keep them in my home)

Pikachu, it’s your parents!

It bothers me that the Mario Kart World community insists on referring to the connecting courses as “Intermissions”, when that word is already used by the game to refer to the period between races in a multiplayer lobby, during which you can change your character, look for unlockables, or practice.

I guess I won’t play Virtual Boy lying down next time.

I did the thing.

The Meyers-Briggs personality types can actually be simplified further to just 8 types of people. ISFP: mellowed out after a wild youth INTJ: doesn’t understand technology ENTJ: likes to speak in broken Italian INFP: talks to the bugs in their walls

Is the theme of this event “Characters With Surprisingly Non-Static Progression of Age”?

I long for a world where Kratts Creatures is the more beloved show than Zamboomafoo. I grew up learning about symbiosis, food webs, and watching hippos destroy a crash test dummy, and then all of a sudden my favorite show got replaced with one where we learned to “hop like a chinchilla” or whatever.

I love the Zelda series flexibility with art style. There are other franchises that have taken on different looks in an effort to reinvent their visual style when things get stale, but with Zelda is practically expected that each incarnation have a distinctive visual voice.

Me going out to check the mail: How does my yard get so full of weeds every week? My neighbour: Sorry about that. Just doing a bit of time travelling, haha. I’ll clean up those weeds when I’m done. My mailbox: *Erupts suddenly as 15 entire birthday cakes from my mom burst forth, burying me.*

I have found that a pretty reliable indicator of when NOT to expect Nintendo Directs is that they are reluctant to distract from their games that are releasing soon. You might not buy Mario Tennis or Pokopia if you knew what else is coming, so they’ll probably wait until after that games release.

Mario Tennis is still using the same voice to narrate the points as they were back on the Gamecube. I always thought that was supposed to be Toadsworth’s voice. Is it not?

Why does Animal Crossing New Horizons not have a picnic table? Are they not a thing in Japan? Was it just too hard to implement something that was both a table and a chair with the game mechanics?

They’re making all these new character models; they had better do something with them. Personally I’d love a big DK-focused DLC for Mario Kart. Use Piranha Plant Pipeline to connect the Mario Kart mainland to an island full of DK courses. The rail-riding is well suited to a Mine-cart Madness track.

Listen, I appreciate other North American countries being thought of and acknowledged, but we really don’t want that guy thinking about Canada within the umbrella of “America”. Don’t give him any more ideas please.

How is it that no client knows how to send a photo from their phone’s gallery, yet every customer knows how to take a screenshot of their photo gallery and send that? Isn’t it exactly the same process but with more steps?

Does anyone remember “The Wacky World of Tex Avery”? Well I just learned that show had nothing to do with Tex Avery the animator. Kind of seems like false advertising.

90% of all instances of the Mandela Effect are caused by people assuming they ever actually bothered to carefully read the logos they were already familiar with before they knew how to read, once they actually knew how to read, instead of just assuming the most obvious spelling was correct.

The J stands for “J.P. Grosse”

The J stands for “Jester Lavorre”

My better judgement prevented me from replying to a stranger’s fanart of Yoshi that reminded me of Mr. Dink from the show “Doug”. It was good fanart, and I wouldn’t have meant that observation as an insult, but it might be weird for me to interject that as a rando. Anyway, our little secret now.

Oh “Hugh Morris” as in “Humorous”. I liked it better when I thought Nintendo just decided to give a clown a full first and last name.

All tourists in #AnimalCrossing wear one of two “tourist outfits” you can coordinate at the hotel. So I decided some of them are tourists and some of them are undercover spies. Now my island is crawling with secret agents. I don’t think Nook is going to be in charge for much longer.

And now we just sit back and wait for the cash to start rolling in. #AnimalCrossing

This is such an important concept to understand on the internet. I just wish the infographic explaining it wasn’t the most deliriously incoherent nonsense.

I’m not watching trailers. Does Yoshi talk in the movie or what?

I’ll be honest, I’m still confused what (if anything) the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Mario Wonder adds to single player besides Rosalina and Assist Mode. Supposing I don’t have a party of pals, which new modes are still relevant to me?

What game style is this Detective Baby Rosalina in? #DBRposting

Weirdly I feel kind of bad for my #AnimalCrossing villagers. We used to be a little community of friends and now the place is overrun with tourists who don’t stay more than a day. It’s like I’m witnessing the gentrification of my own virtual paradise.

Don’t look at me with those big eyes. You can’t make me buy my least-favourite Donkey Kong Country game for a third time. Wishlist maybe.

I’m just begging Minecraft not to update the models of villager babies. Please I have like 600 textures to update for my pack if you do that.

I’ve decided to keep all my #AnimalCrossing creations in one place, so here’s the thread: Rizzo asked for a hideaway, so I made him a property called “Side Gig” where he’s dug a tunnel in the back room to rob a bank.

I don't think my followers have been curated for their appreciation of CBC's Vinyl Café series, but there's no wiki or discord, so you're the only people I have to trivia dump on: The surname of the family is never mentioned, but in "Valentine's Day" we learn it contains the letters S,N,T,H, and M

Since they added cooking to #AnimalCrossing it’s impossible to turn my sink off because the A button just opens the cooking menu.
