Paramount Skydance has $15.5 billion in debt, which will increase to $79 billion if their fusion with Warner Bros. Discovery gets approved. Removing a very popular character from your equivalent of Mickey Mouse won't help you pay off so much as a micro-ounce of that debt. x.com/i/status/205...

I've seen arguments on X (Twitter) about whether Smash for Switch 2 should be a reboot with a much smaller roster or a "Switch 2 Edition" of Ultimate. I'll give my two cents in the comments, but in the meantime, here's an order for a hypothetical "Everyone is Back" trailer. Made via TierMaker.com

I'd take a Carl the Collector movie over this not any day, not any hour, not any minute, not even any second. Any millisecond.

A part of me still wishes Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will have Link communicate with sign language, especially recreating this memetic line from the Zelda cartoon that accompanied The Super Mario Bros. Super Show on Friday airings in such a way.

Having disgruntlement toward Nintendo for their shortcomings in the Switch 2 era isn't an excuse to threaten their staff or premises with anything lethal.

Here's a drawing I just made for Mother's Day. I themed it after Carl the Collector, fourth time the show is featured in a drawing of mine. Anyway, I drew a recreation of Family Guy's "I just wanna talk to him" meme, with Maude (Carl's Mom) in place of Peter and Carl in place of Meg.

I have finally maxed out Rouge's Friendship level! It took 100,000 Donpa Tickets across both her & Amy, which is NOT a process that happens overnight. After completing the Captain Goro Majima Festival, I played Grand Prix & World Match to get the remaining Donpa Tickets that I needed to

I'll only believe Smash for Switch 2 if the word-of-mouth comes from Nintendo themselves. But 2027 is a tad too soon for what could very well be the Switch 2's make-or-break game, and if Sakurai is directing again, I have a gut feeling that Furukawa's only gonna care about the seven dozen docks of

If we can get two Yakuza drivers in this game, surely characters like Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, Ann Takamaki, Makoto Niijima, Futaba Sakura, Sumire Yoshizawa, Reala, MeeMee, Chuck, Amitie, and Lidelle aren't out of the question, right?

Disney w/ Toy Story:

"Wow...that was such a pretty and moving song. What show did you say it was from again?" "The Tamagotchi anime." "...No, seriously. What show?" "Yup. It was composed for a pet-raising simulator adaptation. Take it or leave it as you will." youtu.be/x42krMfOgjw?...

If the Nintendo developers oblige Miyamoto here, it means Peach is canonically trans. Rosalina's backstory from the Super Mario Galaxy game mentions a lost brother, and we all know about Peach & Rosalina being written as sisters in the movie.

The Angry Birds Festival in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is now over. Here's how I fared at it.

• Toad (Super Mario) • Agumon (Digimon) • Monita (Nintendo Land) • Parabo & Satebo (Satellaview / BS-X) • Dr. Eggman and/or Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog) • Gen X rep (Pokémon) • Rhythm Troupe [Marshal, Miss Ribbon, & Cam] (Rhythm Heaven) • Rayman (Rayman) • Chibi-Robo (Chibi-Robo) • Rallen (Spectrobes)

Well well. The "washed up hedgehog loser" (Sonic for Hire reference) found it in his heart to invite the raging round bird that was on top of the world last decade but taken under Sega's wing in this one, in another act of defiance against his plumber frival's recent fixation on the open road.

All this talk about Pixar's Be Fri just goes to show that the rat has lost the animation crown & is showing no incentive of getting it back, even with a record 4-defeat streak at the Academy Awards.

If this ends up being true, my number one wish is for the return & expansion of the Mystery Mushroom power-up from the original Wii U game. Don't doom our amiibo collections to an eternity of dust-gathering, Nintendo.

I proudly present, Road to the Switch 2, an art project that's part of my planned last hurrah for my OG Switch before I transition to the Switch 2, and Tamagotchi (or more specifically Tamagotchi Plaza) is the primary artistic centerpiece of the project. Allow me to explain; on June 27th, 2025...

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Read at your own risk. I'm back from seeing the movie, and I typed down an in-depth review of it. Take a read if you want.

A quick drawing for World Autism Acceptance Day & Autism Acceptance month. I drew Carl & Lotta from Carl the Collector (who are both canonically autistic) respectively cosplaying as Mario & Fox McCloud, also tying into the recent release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which I'll be seeing this...

Here's how I fared at the Mega Man Festival now that its over. I dedicate my playthrough to a certain someone in the Mega Man fandom. Someone I've been mutuals with for a very long time (dating back to the Miiverse days) and whose favorite Mega Man character is known by name as Enker.

This implies a lot. And I'm quite frankly flabbergasted. Hard to believe the studio that made SUV ads out of The Lorax & put a screeching goat in The Grinch is setting us up for a ride of this calibur.

We now live in a timeline where Mega Man & Proto Man have canonically crossed paths with SpongeBob & Patrick. Just...let that thought sink in for a minute.

Two major L's for the "hip-and-trendy tech idolized by the 1%" and two major W's for actual work and effort made by homo sapiens! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Now that we know Mega Man & Proto Man are joining Sonic's triumphant racer next week, I'd like to share this driver order that I curated for the game's roster so far.

Happy International Women's Day to my female mutuals and every female user on BlueSky! Here's a drawing I just finished for the occasion. I simply drew eight female characters from media that I fancy hanging out; Lovelitchi, Himespetchi, & Melodytchi from Tamagotchi, Toadette from Super Mario,...

I have spoken against my opposition of Netflix taking Warner Bros. under their wing on the grounds of theatrical distribution & physical media, but Paramount Skydance being the prevailing suitor is the furthest thing from ideal either. To give some idea of what to expect, John Oliver will more-than

Yikes. I just now read on Wikipedia that Romano was shot in the right eye last year. Between that & a cancer diagnosis just now, she's been through a horrible turn of events. The voice of Kim Possible doesn't deserve any of that.

Just a little drawing I did in honor of Annoy Squidward Day. I drew Conkdor, Snowman, Pokey, and Fish Bone (AKA the Mario Kart World newcomers that I find the most questionable) doing the deed, with Conkdor blowing an air horn in Squidward's direction so hard, the can crumbles, with Snowman,...

All I'm hoping for out of this is, if Netflix prevails in fusing with Warner Bros. & stays true to their word on keeping WB movies in theaters, that they also start releasing some of their other movies in theaters for 45-day-minimum runs, K-Pop Demon Hunters II being one of them.

A full hour is a pretty big deal. I'm mostly just hoping for news of Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate and/or Persona 6 out of this.

Let's keep Sakurai-san in our thoughts during the hard time he's experiencing with his pet cat, Fukurashi.

This idea just spewed around in my head, and I went ahead and put mouse to canvas. I made a ship drawing themed after Carl the Collector to kick off February, for its the catalyst of my weekly donations to the PBS Foundation as a result of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's disestablishment.

Here it is; the finished piece! I'm really sorry that this took quite the while to finish. Various IRL circumstances & difficulty coming up with a good background got in the way. But...the timing might not be so off considering today is the 24th Anniversary of Cyberchase's premiere.

This is like when Reggie Fils-Aimé joined Spin Master's board of directors. If I had a dollar for every time a toymaker had a former Nintendo of America leader as part of their board, I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice.

After playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds since its 9/25/2025 launch and grinding through Grand Prixes, Race Park, Challenges, and Online Play w/ a history of teeth-grinding communication errors for 3½ months, all for the sake of Donpa Tickets, I FINALLY maxed out Amy's Friendship Level.

WIP of a birthday drawing for @nijimouse.bsky.social. I drew two of her Mega Man OCs (Kirin Master & Chimney Man), as well as Enker, and Jackie & Inez from Cyberchase. Mega Man, Proto Man, Digit, Matt, and a background will be added when I get home from work later today.

Mario had a 20-year head start in bringing Pac-Man & Blinky over from Arcade GP to home consoles, but ended up putting a fish skeleton, a snowman, a cactus, an ostrich, and a cow on a higher pedestal. Sonic noticed this, said, "Tails, hold my chili dogs", and brought us to where we are today.

I hope the President-who-would-be-King is proud of himself for this. It ain't gonna expedite completion of The Wall, btw. I've been making weekly donations to the PBS Foundation since May 2025 in response to this. I donated a total of $300 as of this typing.

As of today, I have been in this world for a ¼th of a century. Any birthday wishes would be greatly appreciated.

FTC, DOJ, do the right thing for once and bar them both from snagging Warner Bros. Protect the theaters and let Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon stay independent & competitive (plus prevent the Mandarin Menace-amicable Ellisons from garnering more media influence).

Rats. I was hoping NBCUniversal would emerge victorious in the bidding war. ir.netflix.net/investor-new...

The crossover dreamt of by 2000's kids the world over is now live. Time to wave that white flag and admit defeat, Mario. The Cow can't help you with this one.

Here's a tribute drawing to Satoru Iwata, on the day that marks a full decade since his ascent to the great skies of Heaven.

I did my third tour of duty & fulfilled the prophecy! It only took the entire gap between the Switch & the Switch 2, but Tamagotchi is finally here! Time to dive into my first foray into the Corner Shop series. Those Tamagotchi customers aren't gonna serve themselves!

Birthday drawing for @cherrimsquad.bsky.social. I drew Bubble from The Amazing Digital Circus andcCharlotte & Vendetta from Making Fiends presenting a cake made in her honor. Happy Birthday! I hope you've had a spectacular day! 🌟🎈🥳🎉🎁🧁🎂🧁🎁🎉🥳🎈🌟

Lego Horizon Adventures released today on PlayStation 5 & Nintendo Switch. Horizon is a PlayStation-original franchise, and this game got a release on Nintendo hardware. Taking into account how mind-blowing that is, I drew Aloy & Mario having a conversation and trying to strike up
