NSMB DS's pngs and low poly models and crunchy sound effects have weaseled their way into my heart. Finally played it for the first time, wow was it much more experimental than the 3DS sequel, probably because the public had more lofty expectations for it, given its place in the franchise, makes sense. All the wacky new enemies and level elements, it's got a strong original vision a lot of its siblings lack.

This game was rushed, have you seen those videos about its spaghetti code? I first suspected it when I pressed the jump button, the physics definitely felt off at first, adjusted fast enough though, jank gives it flavor. I said the sound effects were crunchy before but the whole game is... the thing's texture... it's yummy. Those retro fugging sound sfx, the fugging sound mixing, the mixed media graphics... adorbs. This is an insect game, beep boop bug.

In general, the KC manga is very, very mean towards Wendy, with characters throwing up whenever she tries to be cute (which is often).
Fanart at the end of the Yoshi's Egg issue threw her a bone at least. She's adorable in Peach's dress. Guess funny shipping's been around for quite a while!

Also, it referenced the localizations more often than just the "American Koopa" thing from the SMW arc.

Better add that to the list of times Luigi's disguised as Peach...

...followed by everyone else, apparently. (Yoshi looks adorable with that hair.)

Woah, all the 'shrooms on the forum list went gray (all but two, at least).

I prefer using the term "common" over the term "normal".

There is certainly traits we come across constantly but I feel normal implies absolutes in traits and traits are rarely absolute.
I feel like this absolute thinking that comes with the term is why anyone who differs from what is common tends to be bullied

Thank you for the follow my friend!

I've driven 350 miles or roughly 5 hours from LA to Santa Clara, was an easy drive lol.

Thanks for the follow!

3D Land's a good-looking game, I like playing through the compact diorama-like levels, it's endearing. The clean graphic look's sleek, I enjoy when Mario games have just the right amount of abstractness, instead of whatever Odyssey did. It's a thin line to balance, when one of these things lean too far into one direction, hyper fidelity or rudimentary simplicity, the world quickly ceases to be meaningful to me.

Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS are my best example of what I mean. N64, too many flat colors, too geometric it's nothing to me but a wacky digital sandbox to blast through, it's a fun toy. DS, there's texture, there's life, but it's not real life, it's a cartoon, there's still clear deliberateness and artifice to its pieces but no longer am I looking at glue, I'm appreciating the world's stitches. My favorite Mario games are like sweaters, does that make sense? Don't answer that. I can vibe in them, they're satisfying, that's as well as I can phrase it. If the game's not a sweater it should be a cute little insect I can admire in my palm, pretty much everything in-between feels awkward. This applies to more than Mario actually, it applies to my taste in video games in general... Similes. Tangents. 3D Land's a good-looking game that found a sweet spot.

Hi everyone, I just finished Season 3 of Adventure Time. It was definitely my favourite season so far! Here are my thoughts:

• My favourite episodes were Fionna and Cake and What Was Missing, both being extremely nostalgic childhood favourites, in WWM's case I distinctly recall it being my #1 favourite episode in the entire show when I was a kid, with F+C being a close runner up. So I was over the moon when I encountered them right next to each other on the season 3 DVD having been wondering since the beginning when they'd show up. Both episodes feature very fun stories, lovely songs (especially I'm Just Your Problem and My Best Friends in the World), heartwarming interactions between the protagonists, and fantastic morals about womens' independence, and the value of truthfulness and friendship above material treasures. I also really loved Bubblegum and Marceline's outfits in What Was Missing, they're both very stylish and I remember styling my makeshift fashion after them when I was a kid. I also really liked the interactions between the two women in this episode, which although it's not technically the first time they interact it's the first we really see into their relationship, and as someone who cares a lot about the LGBTQ+ community being represented in media, I loved that this episodes subtly hints a possible romantic past between the two women, though I'm aware that sadly the episode got a lot of backlash from homophobes for this reason. F+C introduces a gender-swapped version of the main cast, who were very interesting to meet, and I especially love Cake. And I have to say that this episode really touched my young heart as a (then closeted) trans kid, and it really hits different to watch it now for the first time since I've now been living as female full-time for so many years, and who still hasn't really had a boyfriend yet.

• My least favourite episode was Paper Pete, because I found it largely boring and low-key gross in parts, didn't like any of the new characters introduced, didn't feel it had a good moral, and felt bad for Jake who just wanted to study his girlfriend's heritage in peace, thus I found Finn's behaviour selfish and unreasonable.
• I thought Conquest of Cuteness was an okay episode, but not the best as a season premiere.
• Memory of a Memory was a great episode with an engaging story with a great plot twist. I enjoyed seeing Marceline get further development to her character and backstory. I did find the scene with baby Finn a bit weird and off-putting though.
• Too Young was a fantastic episode. I loved seeing Bubblegum in her younger form, and her interactions with Finn. This episode is also the debut of the Earl of Lemongrab, who is an extremely iconic and entertaining character, and I adored seeing him deliver his first "UNACCEPTABLE!!!" In my opinion, this episode definitely should've been the season premiere.
