"The Crash Mania guy", as I've been called. Almost never here unless I just played something I really liked or I'm speaking up against something nefarious.

My wife's been selling some of her characters to supporters, and I can tell she's enjoying the process and the reception. I'll leave a link to her Patreon, if you'd like to adopt one yourself: www.patreon.com/collection/1...

Someone linked me to this: www.reddit.com/r/crashbandi...

And yeah, it's funny, but have you seen N-Tranced's game over screen? It's an edit from Warped's, and they didn't realize those spikes are Cortex's hair, so they just left them in (Cortex isn't even in that game).

Oopsie poopums.
The game over screen for Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced. Uka Uka faces the viewer, and Cortex's hair is partially seen behind him.

I can't believe they're adding jump to Metroid. We've come a long way.
A screenshot from an overview trailer for Metroid Prime 4, showcasing (per the narration) "the ability to jump".

What you don't know yet is that Myles McKenzie will eventually become Sylux, hellbent on taking his revenge against Samus and the Galactic Federation, after they left him stranded in the past.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens. Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided You Will Be Impacted Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union. Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications. Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors. Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values. False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations. Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures. Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

I think Nintendo gets too much flak for how they name their games.

Anyway, I can't wait for Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. I really think Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is going to be a good time.

Samos' wisdom
#jakanddaxter
Jak and Daxter look at their phones that I guess they have now. Daxter says "I asked Grok" and Jak says "I asked chatgpt" then Samos says "Well I asked the plants and the rocks and they said you're a bitch."

Naked Snake from MGS3 sneaking up on a guard with his knife out, a reference to that one scene from a One Piece filler arc where Luffy does this to a Marine.

Bikes aside, not enough people are talking about this moment from the Metroid Prime 4 trailer where you're attacked by this pack of alien wolves in the middle of a blizzard, and they run circles around and IT LOOKS SO COOL.

I don't actually know how to feel about Samus riding a bike. Specifically, I don't think the trailer did a good job on selling its inclusion. The bike looks RAD, but it's so unlike anything Metroid has ever done, and the more I think about it, the more confused I get.

A commission I did last year for a former Patreon supporter who wanted me to draw their version of an Evil/Brainwashed Coco Bandicoot!

A Patreon commission done for Syhadow (of DeviantART) of an evil version of Coco Bandicoot who's controlled by Nina Cortex! This is the specific design they asked for.

The screenshot is my original reaction to the Nintendo Direct.

What I'm trying to say here is I'm not trying to guilt-trip anyone. I still get excited. It's just that a few years ago, that would happen without caveats or the lingering reminder of their anti-consumer and anti-competitor practices.

So this picture from a few years ago is canon now.
An image of Sonic and Pac-Man standing together. Pac-Man tries on some shoes that look identical to Sonic's, as the latter gives him a wink and a thumbs-up. There's an open gift box next to Pac-Man, implying the shoes are a present from Sonic. The text reads: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAC-MAN"

Look, I know there's a million problems in the world draining our mental energy every day.

That said, I don't see my mutuals talking about the Chat Control thing. It's a nightmare, and it needs to be vetoed right now.
