I think that "flanderization" is a neutral term. It shouldn't be treated as necessarily bad. Playing up certain traits is part of developing a character over time. See Wario: - Power-hungry in SML2 - Wants money for a castle in WL1 - Just kinda wants money in general after, solidified as greedy

re:Bowser Jr.'s voice I do feel like American productions frequently cast adult men to voice young boys, even when in the source material (or original language if it's an English dub) they were voiced by a woman. It's not absolute but kind of weirdly prevalent in American media?

I'm so used to seeing fake movie Rosalina designs that it's weirdly surreal to finally see the real one.

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

Galaxy trailer was pretty good. Looking forward to the mobie.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac did a collaboration with Sonic, so naturally, I had to turn Pac-Village into Eggmanland.

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

this is literally never not accurate

This is also how Lupin III works. Yes, he canonically is the grandson of a thief from the early 1900s. Yes Lupin III was in school in the 60s. He's logically at *least* 70 years old despite looking like he's in his 30s. It doesn't make sense and that's part of the fun.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I hope Yoshi speaks in the Mario Galaxy movie. He's always had spoken dialogue (in text at least) in the games, despite his voice acting essentially just being Pokemon-speak. (Though he does audibly say "One!" and "Two!" in SMB Wonder's Ninji dancing levels)

puyo chaining tutorials be like "just get the puyos you need and don't have an opponent. this should be easy"

More old art, 2011, which I believe was a commission for @drmechano.bsky.social at the time, featuring his namesake character, as well as a bunch of mechanical meanies in an intimidating lineup. Ah! Memories.

I think an Ace Attorney style game but for civil cases (as opposed to criminal ones) could be super interesting. I know lawsuits aren't as exciting as murder trials, but I do think you could tell some really unique stories there. Maybe you'd also play as the plaintiff attorney rather than defense.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Wigglers on the Tall Trunk Galaxy slide are special slide-only Wigglers that literally cannot exist outside of it. If one of them is allowed to make it all the way up the slide, he will lose his head and become a singularity.

Started watching Better Call Saul. I'm only a season in, but I like it even more than Breaking Bad so far. Saul is such a likable scumbag, definitely the right BB character to get his own show.

can't find the post that was like "share your old art & your newest art!" but this seemed like a fun thing to compare/contrast with on one hand, a neopets/sonic advance 2 thing i did back in 2004 when i obsessed over both. on the other, sonic VS eggman in 2023. Twenty-years!! almost. That's crazy.

For me, the ideal Eggman portrayal adheres to the three S's: His silly side, sinister side, and soft side. Eggman should be funny, but still competent enough to be menacing, yet also have enough humanity that you can still kinda like the guy despite his villainy. Balancing the three is crucial.

I want a game that does for Wario what Bananza did for Donkey Kong. A grand celebration of Wario's entire history - Land, Wario, his various antics in the Mario series, all of it. Seeing characters like Captain Syrup, Mona, and Waluigi all side by side in the same game would be amazing.

Sonic Rumble is one of those rare instances where Eggman is both the main villain and playable at the same time.

Bananzaaaaaaaa 🍌💎 Hacía mucho no hacía un sketch pro diversión

Had an idea hehee

I worked on a thing ya'll 👀

Mamdani won by sticking to his principles and consistent messaging. You don't need billions in donations. You don't need to throw vulnerable minorities under the bus. You don't need to cowtow to the right. Progressives can win, all while being uncompromisingly progressive.

They got the Master Plan

The story of a thief, an internationally acclaimed animator, and the unlikely partnership that would change the trajectory of their lives - and mine. 💚 "MIYAZAKI'S LUPIN" is big, it's back, and it's covered in cracks. WATCH NOW: youtu.be/dxiEHDiZV1Y

I for one welcome Cornelius Pumpit, the newest human character in the Sonic canon.

In Super Mario Odyssey, there is a single Luigi who is somehow too much for the Nintendo Switch to handle. Bringing the camera close to this 8-bit Luigi in Metro Kingdom at night will cause the game to stutter and slow down to 5 FPS. This is the only Luigi who has this effect.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

SO EXCITED to hear everyone's calls!!!!!! #DKBananzaSpoilers #DonkeyKong #AltersArtTag

I feel like the obvious answer is to make it a toggle. "Visual guide mode" for people who want it, but not required for people who don't. Seems like that'd let everybody win.
