  • Only a small amount of fan theories actually are about using evidence or even analysis of narrative themes to create plausible interpretations and expansions of the lore, most are simply alternate-universe micro fan-fictions framed as "what if THIS was what was actually happening?"

    I think it's perfectly fine if some people find the latter interesting, but it would be nice if there was a better way to distinguish between the two.

    And most of the latter also relies on unfalsifiable evidence, which explains why pretty much everything has a "fan theory" that everyone is dead and in purgatory, since you can't prove that's not the case... but such theories don't usually make the story more interesting to think about. A lot of it could come from young people who are beginning to grapple with concepts such as death, so they use such fan theories as a way to relate with the issue through their favorite media. I would be a little sympathetic to it in that case, even if I don't think the theory itself is worthwhile.

    I feel this way about some shipping culture. Ultimately shoving characters together is a harmless practice, but I find it more interesting when those ships have some level of textual basis or act as an expansion of what's already established, rather than just being pushed together because someone likes the two characters
    I feel like ranking and tier-list videos on youtube have gotten increasingly specific and niche over time. Sometimes I see a video titled something like "Ranking the earlobes of all characters in the Geeble franchise Part 1 (2:22:13)".

    Also to be clear I'm not trying to making a statement here about whether such videos are good or bad, even though my example was humorously exaggerated. You can decide that for yourself.

    I blame the fact that it's apparently been lost on people that (A) inspiration is not theft and (B) fully original ideas are hard to come up with. There's pressure for every new video to have some kind of uniqueness on it or they'll get jumped on with "yOuRe rIpPiNg oFf [other video by other random YouTuber]" and I'm pretty sure all out of all YouTubers hate those comments.

    I think YouTube in general feels like it's far more clickbaity than it was in the past, with much more obnoxious thumbnails and titles.
    What if there was a website somewhere on the internet called the Super Wario Boards where a bunch of weirdo doppelgangers of all of us congregated.

    Apparently no one owns the domain warioboards.com, so if you ever wanted to get into web design, you could very well do it yourself.

    One small issue, WarioBoards is a website, so this might get you hit with a copyright issue.
    What is the difference between the roles of President and CEO at Nintendo of America? I found a list of directors/executive officers at Nintendo's website, but couldn't find anything detailing the difference between the two positions. To the best of my understanding it seems that Doug Bowser is both President and CEO of NoA, but after he steps down the two roles will be split between two different people, please correct me if I am mistaken.

    45 minute Sakurai Kirby direct tomorrow.

    Joke prediction: It will be revealed that the entirety of Smash 6 will be contained as a side mode for Kirby Air Riders. Not a stripped down recreation of Smash, a whole game on par with the other games in the series.

    I'm so late to this lol but I'm just wondering if anyone ever thought why the DS did not have a Smash game.
    What if we held a big light-saber battle and invited dozens of people? What if we held it in front of the Eiffel tower? What if instead of light-sabers, everyone was wielding a baguette?
    If you were to generate a random whole number between 1 and infinity. That number certainly would be unfathomably large, because for every number you can think of, there are infinitely more larger numbers. The chance of any number being selected would be 1/infinity which is a limit at 0. So I'm not even sure if it would be possible to generate a random number between 1 and infinity. Maybe someone who knows more math than me would know if it could work.
    You may have noticed that my evil plans have finally come to fruition. I am now the one and only, supreme leader of the Super Mario Boards, since it's too late to stop me, I might as well explain my genius plan in detail. It was quite simple, yet so brilliant.

    Step 1: Get username change to "Supreme Leader Odyssey" approved.

    Step 2: ...

    Step 3: Profit.

    Now there may be some of you out there who are worried about the Boards being taken over by an evil mastermind.

    ...

    ...

    ...

    Anyways, as long as no UPSTARTS or WANNABEES try to pull the same trick and declare themselves leader we'll continue along fine.
    I wonder if this thing is some type of power up in the Mario Universe. What do you think it would do? It's the one cup logo in Mario Kart 8 that isn't an established power-up or usable item not counting the crossover symbols.

    What is your opinion on Nintendo's announcement today that they would be adding "a third Mario brother"?

    They just made official what we already knew!

    The original Tomodachi Life was an interesting game. It was like an interactive screensaver or virtual pet game where you check in on the Miis every once in a while, instead of a game where you directly control a character. It was a strangely chill experience.
    My next profile theme name will be brought to you by my finger slipping and hitting the enter button with my touch pad while in the middle of trying to come up with an idea, and I'm not kidding. Stay tuned folks. (It won't be very interesting).

    Here we are, I am now Man in the. Not even I know where I was going with this.
    The expression "right you are!" is a rare example of Yoda style sentence construction that actually saw real life use entirely unconnected from Star Wars.
    Before the invention of the camera, no human could have seen how they looked like with their eyes shut. The best you could get was to look at a reflective surface, close one eye, then the other eye, and then transpose the two images mentally.
    It is actually incredible how bad I am at time management and decision making. Psychologists could write a dissertation on me.
