Metroid fans are fucking weird, dude. Every other genre complains constantly about silent and self-insert protagonists but Metroid fans are like “so help me, God, Samus better not say ONE word or show ANY emotion or personality or I am OUT. I still haven’t forgiven you for the last time she did”

after they announced that update I booted it up to link it to the Switch 2 and just sort of take a look at my town, realized there's a ton of game I never saw because I stopped playing before 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise, always felt guilty I never completed the museum, and, well,

I know the answer already but I won't say no to getting a bunch of images of them in my notifications

Cool thing my dad found in a box: tickets to the Toy Story premiere at El Capitan Theatre and a map of the “Totally Toy Story” event at the convention hall next door.

One of the coolest things I got to do as a kid. I remember both the movie and the funhouse blowing my mind. I was the perfect age.

They were inspired mostly by Tails, with a little bit of Zack Fair & Gogeta, and were only born out of a desire to make her easier to draw, but I’ve grown to really love them and see them as iconic to Nilla’s design, even moreso than her hat. Probably even more than her little equals sign “whiskers”

Meta & Nilla both have their black tights on this year for a very royal Halloween, as The Princess of Cannock and the Princess-Protector of Hallownest!

I'm having a grand old time with DQ3 so far, but uh, I'm currently at 31 hours and just set foot in the, uh. second overworld. so I think I might be. in trouble here.

can't believe it's been over 10 years since I said "gosh the final level in Captain Toad is surprisingly hard!" and some kid hit me with an all-time heater that I still think about to this day. I didn't realize I had a screenshot of it!!

151 Pokémon, according to my dad (3/3)

not pictured, but he did correctly identify Mew

151 Pokémon, according to my dad (2/3)

I randomly thought about it today so let's all reminisce and laugh about the time in 2014 when I asked my dad to name all 151 original Pokémon (1/3)

it feels like 8 or 9 years ago I was complaining on Twitter that "pauldron" always gets the red underline when I type it, even though it's a real word and I'm spelling it correctly. and after all this time that is STILL the case!! who do I call at Mozilla or Apple or whoever to address this

man, Bananza was great. I love Donkey Kong. maybe I’ll noodle around with DKC2 for a few minutes, as a treat. I don’t have to play through the whole thing, I mean, I just replayed it last year, and I have this giant backlog I still need to work through, so it would be silly to- oh. whoops

how generous of you to let someone else post the out-of-context yuri for a change

can I offer you the sound of the cicadas from my backyard in these trying times?

I love c. viper's new design, even if I might still prefer the OG. it's lightyears better than the burlap sack from V

sorry for the old art jumpscare but I will absolutely be taking credit for putting her in a skirt, black sunglasses and the One Piece Admiral coat-cape in this hexafusion from 2014

it's not that big of a deal really. Katamari is still fun at 30fps and I'm just glad they're still making new games, honestly. just seems weird

also don't tell me they didn't know what they were doing here

I was taught the knuckles thing in elementary school and that has been both been extremely helpful and gotten me confused stares from everyone I’ve tried to explain it to in my adult life

Mario Paint being rereleased for the first time ever is very cool

If you see this, post a redhead?

nah, I'm posting THE redhead

it's capital and diagonal and in cursive and written quickly

I honestly don't know why you felt like starting an argument about graphic design with an artist quoting another much more tenured and successful artist just to stick up for a movie that both of those artists really liked
