    Today I learned there's a Chinatown in my city. Oh yeeess.

    I must've had a crayon in my brain if I thought only NY had a Chinatown. God I really need a habit of thinking things twice.

    Los Angeles has a Chinatown too! Well, in SoCal, there's a lot of heavily Asian areas, not just Chinese, but you'll find Little Tokyo and Koreatown in LA as well as in other areas.

    While a good tourist destination, I read that the best Chinese food aren't in China Town, as restaurants there are designed to attract tourists first, over accommodating to the palette of Chinese immigrants. That means the food may have been catered to be more "accessible" and flavor is sacrificed. However I guess advice is different if your region doesn't have a strong Chinese community like in L.A..

    Will there ever be the year of Brawl Mario? Will random tripping be sold separately?
    Xiahou Dun

    The year of Brawl Mario is still going on in spirit as long as Mario retains the scowly face and Brawl Mario's voice effects continue being used for every Smash Bros. game to eternity.

    Random tripping is still there, just in the form of Smash Ultimate online's connections problems. They trip all the time.

    If you thought the occasional drama in MarioWiki can be super tiring wait until you hear the kind of drama I had to attend to.

    Mario Wiki: Behind the Scenes on paper doesn't sound so bad. Unless it's about some guy overly fanatized with a character from some article, idk what can happen between two or more people making an article that's drama.

    Sometimes I see feuds breakout on certain Wikias, but usually the Mario Wiki seems to be pretty chill.

    Boy if you edit the wiki then I hope you have an idea what 146,294 bytes worth of drama is. (more bytes than Super Mario Odyssey's 139,598 bytes)

    It's super late for this and I hate to bother you, but I'd like to know in maybe more detail why was it a bad thing that the names I gave to my Chinese boys were "cultural appropiation-y". They seemed harmlessly stereotypical to me, a la Punch Out idk.
    Xiahou Dun
    Xiahou Dun
    If you try Punch Out, you have to go over the top and make sure you lampoon those stereotypes rather than adhere to them. It's pretty difficult to pull it off, might not even be worth the trouble.
    Marioro
    Marioro
    Ok so you meant it's bad if I adhere too much?

    Suppose I created a guy who came from America who is idk a cowboy who loves bbq and has a Roosevelt like face. I mean that's so absurd no one would adhere to that and just laugh? My characters here are a lot less stereotypical and only have designs based on how Han China actually looked like, sort of. Aside from names with hidden funny Chinese meanings (which alright came from Google Translate loooool but still), There barely seems to be anything super forcedly stereotypical.

    Civ six. You can't play against him though. f you do that Trajan pops up instead.

    Playing as Todd here is so broken that Mario becomes kind of worthless anyway.

    omg probably because todd just reproduces with his buds like mad. dumb shroom man.

    Hot take: Sakurai and his team should finish Smash Ultimate soon and take a break and then when they're ready, they should make another Kid Icarus game.

    I'm just saying, all these character requests are pretty tiring. :P A lot of characters have their fans going "well it's not over until my favorite character is in" and that's probably going to go on forever. Maybe just kill the thing now and let it be. Let's move on to something smaller and more needy.

    Besides, Smash announcements have been airing like 24/7 for the past few years it feels; they've been replacing all big announcements from other games. What if you don't like Smash? Kinda tough luck.

    I mean ever since Min-Min's release it's been completely silent save for that one shadow drop update with Small Battlefield. And I don't think Smash DLC has "replaced" other announcements, it's developed by an entirely different studio that's almost exclusively dedicated to Smash.

    Yes, Smash Ultimate is a truly complete game as it is, even despite the lack of Bandana Dee that makes my heart cry. But I don't see anything wrong with adding more content to a game that's already so great.

    I'd like to see get Rayman in, but it's finished when Sakurai/Nintendo say it's finished, regardless of the characters that are in. There's still a lot of hope for the characters mentioned here... except Waluigi, unfortunately. As much as I want him in, it's still quite a stretch.

    How should I get over my anxiety over the idea of joining even the most light-hearted tournaments?

    I think it's best just to talk to your friends before a match begins and remember what you do well in other areas, if all else fails, simply explain that this stuff stresses you out and no one will hold it against you if you don't compete

    What I do is even though I do care a lot about winning first place in Mario kart. Everyone loses. So the few times I get last place or bottom tier places I just tell my self to get up and try again. Losing actually motivates me. Don't think of losing as bad. Think of it as a learning tool. :)
    Xiahou Dun
    Xiahou Dun
    Well I know losing is a learning experience and everyone expects to lose. I can get lost in enjoyment of the competition. But I have to deal with a mindset that gives me anxiety any time I compete and I end up getting burnt out more easily and end up just not joining those games.

    Ok I'm actually back with my sister for the time being

    Let's say the rent in Santa Clara was ungodly and some pay cuts plus other personal circumstances brought me back.

    I haven't broke up, but I think I'm here for the rest of the year!
    Xiahou Dun
    August 16 is going to be quite the milestone for me and my sister as Marioboards members soon.

    We actually edited the Wiki back in Fall 2009 but we haven't had a proper decade milestone set yet iirc. I'm also not really active in the Wiki these days either, don't think it counts. :(

    I have no idea! But in all seriousness, we could do something on Discord or smth like that. Mabye we could play Mario Kart online, idk. It was partly a joke but I also kinda want it to actually happen in some way.

    Do not buy Ubisoft games

    If you think competitive Smash is bad well the same crap is happening but unlike Smash, Ubisoft's doing nothing and covering the tracks.

    And what about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, The Two Thrones/Rival Swords, and the Forgotten Sands? Those were awesome games. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle too.

    This deserves to appear in more than one game. Just imagine it following Yoshi around like a pet.

    it looks similar to Yoshi though so why are you not killing it as I expected?

    If Mario were in Civilization VI, his agenda would be something like "dislikes civs that are more powerful/have expanded their culture more than him" or "loves leaders who accept his cultural influence and don't mess with his empire or enemies to be conquered".

    Mario's civilization will also be very protective of allies and doesn't like general aggression, imo.

    Great Admiral: Sailor Mario, recruited by leader... Mario?

    So he'd be like a Gandhi but more charismatic. His humbleness would make him uninterested in building wonders (I mean he lives in a 2 room house after all), which means my man Qin Shi Huang will like him (so long as Mario isn't seaching for inmortality as well, that is. Yes Qin was a strange man, and also his tomb is still shrouded in mystery after 2000 years for some reason??). I guess he'd get a big boost in culture but nothing else. I don't see him spreading a religion or being a man of science.

    I'm saying this as barbarians are raping me by pillaging and looting my glorious empaiah. I was too busy attacking city states. Conquering is a lot more satysfying than doing anything else in this game (I love seeing those borders expand and become mine ngghh).

    @Zakomander So far it seems that all spoilers have been marked as such. If you don't click them, you should be fine. There is one instance of a spoiler having a tempting label though, so enter at your own risk.

    I don't see Origami King spoilers. I just see incessant complaining between fans and some division between those that liked the first two, those that liked Super Paper Mario, and those that liked the latter three. On GameFAQs I saw people ripping on your post on how you used the narrative-driven and paper-driven labels on Twitter and I came to your defense.

    Man at 8 am there's people just walking on the ceiling and it's absolutely ruining my sleep. Goddamn you morning people.
