Stanley really needs more love. He could’ve been reintroduced as a potential love interest for Pauline or something.

That is true. I don’t even watch anime much, but I can see a lot of those dubs from the 2000s and such shaping many a childhood.

It is the most recent entry and their best way of representing the brand to celebrate the anniversary.

Finished it.

I have it bookmarked.

Hopefully someone can share an archive of this stuff somewhere as they are limited releases.

It's too bad I can't afford this or that Tome that was done for Druaga...They would've been great resources for my research...

That's also an option, but the Korg Kamata is a synthesizer that recreates the Namco Arcade sound. It was made as a direct collaboration with Bandai Namco.

I do hope that the Kamata VST I got for FL Studio can help me recreate the jingles with the correct pitch.

It's a similar pitch to it's iteration in the PS1 Namco Museum Vol. 3. Strangely, barely any of the arcade ports of Namco Arcade titles are pitched right. I notice it mostly with games with music that's supposed to be in the key of C or F major, PAC-MAN, Galaga, etc.

Glad your greatest desire came true.

Regardless, I still want to gain a sizable following here as this is the safest alternative to Twitter and I never want to be seen anywhere there. I hope to formally share some early footage of a project I've been prototyping for the past few months soon. It's a very interesting prospect...

I still won't post something daily, but I want to keep people fairly updated on stuff that I do, which I have been doing already via my personal site and blog, but I doubt anyone actually looks at it despite me linking it in my bio.

Admittedly, the Mario X Rosalina pairing has kinda grown on me thanks to @marodraws.bsky.social and @waflesa.bsky.social. However, my own way of thinking is that Peach, Pauline, and Rosalina all love Mario for their own reasons.
