I like pretty things.
I say dumb things a lot.
I like RPGs, MMOs and Gacha. I'm literally the worst.

Official 2002 European Super Mario Sunshine screensaver that features Mario sliding across the screen and periodically turning into his famous "aggressive" render from that game.

Really annoyed by the uptick in people complaining about Dragon Quest's localization style. It's soulful and has character and I hope it never changes. I love the accents, the flair in text dialogue, the puns and quirks of speaking. It's distinctly Dragon Quest and it should remain.

For our review of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, we asked a writer who has never played Trails to check out the remade first entry of the long-running series.

"It’s the easiest 10/10 I’ve ever given... This is a must-play."

Anyone who says they love Summer should be required to endure the entire season with no access to air conditioning. If they make it through and still love it then they are masochists.

Yes, I'm venting about this god awful season! Bring on the Fall already.

Due to a bizarre code interdepency in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario can gain permanent aggression to durians. While normally, he can handle them gently, if Mario enters a sewer and jumps once, he will become incapable of kicking them with anything except full force.

In Super Mario 64 DS, by alternating pressing Y+Up/Down/nothing/Down/nothing every 5 frames, Mario can vibrate up every slope in the game.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch, characters blink even when looking away from the camera (visible in reflective surfaces). An exception is Peach. This creates the unintended impression that Peach doesn't actually need to blink and only does it for the camera.

Just starting Donkey Kong Bananza. Very obvious that this was made by the Super Mario Odyssey team. Lots of similar design and visual flourishes. I love how the music fades out and reverberates when you're in a cave or underground, then swells again when you get to the surface

I wish I could enjoy summer like "normal people" do. Instead I can't handle the heat and humidity and it just turns me into a perpetually angry person. Lacking air conditioning makes it even worse because even staying inside is not a refuge, in fact it's usually much worse. Whining over for now.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Wuthering Waves 2.1 is really fun. I'm enjoying the fishing addition and I hope they iterate on it through patches, it's really cozy.
