    You know, know that I've played Sonic it's making me sort of dissatisfied with Mario's comparatively blander level themes. The New Super series, sure, but even classic games don't give their levels particularly interesting or distinct identities- Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, etc. has way more character than 1-1, 1-2, or even say, Donut Plains.

    Like, you call it Donut Plains but it's basically a normal grassland area. Why not do something more interesting with that and have actual donuts floating around... or something? Mario Kart does a comparatively better job at this, tbh

    3D Mario, of course, is a different story altogether. They don't have this problem except for the two when they tried to make it 2D but the 3D was the 2... D.

    Anyways, this a roundabout way of me saying I, so far, much prefer Sonic's stronger focus on world building, environmental storytelling, and distinct characters. Mario is much more tightly designed, but I find that to be less and less engaging for me personally these days.

    Childhood for me was literally everyone having a Wii and getting to play Mario Kart Wii, NSMBW, Wii Fit, etc. at my grandparents' house. Fun times, though they've all gotten rid of them by now unfortunately

    I was born in 08, so my younger childhood was caught in that transitionary period between gen 7 and gen 8 consoles.

    It went from the Wii being everywhere to mobile games as the next big thing and Nintendo becoming less culturally relevant after the Wii U flopped. Still played a lot of 3DS though. Then the Switch got popular while I was in middle school

    Anyways this is the first new console drop I actually care about since I was literally 9

    Yeah, I was still young when the Switch came out and I had never played Nintendo before. This is the first Nintendo console that I'm actually experiencing the release of

    @Blitzo The Wii and all that are still played by retro gamers today; it's by no means irrelevant or defunct. And a lot of retro gamers are playing even OLDER consoles like the NES and the SNES.

    Hot take: the car in Mario Party was a perfectly fine gimmick. As someone whose first Mario Party game was 10 I find it much more tolerable than most

    I agree, my first Mario Party game was Mario Party 9 and I never minded it really.

    I agree, having all players restricted to staying within a vehicle throughout the boards in Mario Party 9 and 10 (And maybe other MP games past 10, though I don't really have a good track record on that front) makes things a bit more fair compared to previous installments of the series. As someone who has only played Mario Party 5, I can speak from experience that it can be rather tedious to have to race other players/CPUs to the Star, so the car gimmick really evened out the odds.

    Dude, I actually had a celebration cheesecake and it was so nice but the thing is the rest of the cheesecake factory food is AWFUL!! I tried their steak and it was too hard even when it specifically said that I wanted it rare.

    I think the rest of the food is alright but definitely not worth how expensive it is lol

    Waking up to see that you've got a snow day in a school district notorious for not giving them is the best feeling

    Here to let you know that we're looking for a new song every day in the Marioboards Year of Music thread. No restrictions on what music you can post, so feel free to go ham in there. It's a super low commitment thing so hop in if you can.

    I swear APT sounds like something I've heard before and I was thoroughly convinced it was at least a couple years old until I found out it came out in October

    Is it the pre-chorus that gives you that vibe? I think the melody it uses is a very familiar one, and has been used in other songs from the 2000s and 2010s such as Night Changes by One Direction, Can We Dance by the Vamps, So Am I by Ava Max.

    That sometimes happens with movies and TV shows as well. One example I can name off the top of my head is the 1990s coming of age film The Sandlot. The movie is set in the 1960s, and it does such a convincing job at portraying that time period that you would think the movie was actually made during the 1960s.

    Curious why the ø character isn't allowed in usernames

    It's pretty offensive, I wouldn't say ø on here if I were you

    I'm guessing it's because the mods wanted people to use characters that were on a standard QWERTY keyboard? That's probably why LGM couldn't change her name back to "Jolly DönerMax" a couple years ago, since that name contains the "ö" and it can't easily be typed.

    You know what? It pisses me off that everyone is acting so pessimistic and defeatist right now. If you genuinely think this year is going to be horrible, I'll encourage you to look back at 1925 and see how great it was, because I guarantee you we're a hundred times better off now than anyone ever was then and people take that shit for granted

    Like, climate change is a problem, modern politics aren't great, sure all of these things are bad and some are getting worse but I'm sick of people whinging about it because we can fix these things. We will fix these things if we don't have our heads stuck up our own asses.

    So can we please start enjoying ourselves again? Because I'm done with everyone saying 2024 was a horrible year and expecting 2025 to be just as bad.

    Even though we aren't the best of friends, I do agree with you on this. People need to realize that they can make 2025 a good year if they just don't mingle in stuff like ecologistics, modern politics and the like.

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Santa Claus is coming to town. Here comes Santa Claus! People won't stop talking about Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Frosty the snowman, and all those jingle bells. Jingle bells rock. I think we should let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, because I'm really wishing for a white Christmas. If I'm being honest, all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, a hippopotamus, and you.

    Hot take: the McRib is better than the normal McDonald's burger, as low of a bar as that is to clear
