Inspired by years of making levels in Mario Maker, I set out to create Hollow Moon, an SMB1 inspired GBC styled 2D platformer using Peach's movement as a mechanical foundation, and I gave myself 2 weeks to do it.

It's been a year.

I think it also says something about how these types are just entirely interchangeable in my mind

I'm gonna be real I saw Tucker Carlson's name in a YT video and for a split second thought "Oh yeah, he got shot a few weeks ago" and then remembered it was actually Charlie Kirk

Like it's been a month after people were singing about how "influential" he was and I straight up forgot his name

At least with the Pikmin bundle, I'm getting 2 games that aren't available physically for the SAME CONSOLE GENERATION

Genuinely can't believe that Nintendo is charging like $100 here for what's essentially just Super Mario Galaxy 2 if you already have 3DAS, like that's straight up highway robbery

YouTube had to go and update their UI again the moment I said something nice about them, huh

I don't like to give YouTube credit for anything, but honestly the ability to have channel collabs might be the first good decision they've made in a long time

This is hands down the funniest Pokemon I've ever caught

I've realized a really funny side effect of her size

Because she's so goddamn big, some of her moves can actually whiff pretty easily

It's so funny how I was thinking earlier in the game "what's stopping someone from just not showing up?"

And the answer is apparently nothing

Iono and Ryme also stand out

There are also a few scenes in ZA that feel like they were designed with voice acting in mind but just never happened

It's actually comical how big she is

Also, at a certain point boycotting just doesn't really work. Like there's a fundamental baseline amount of copies a new Pokemon game is gonna sell because Timmy (9), as it turns out, likes Pokemon

Which is a conversation in itself, but like they are making steps in the right direction, if slowly

Yeah like at a certain point it's just impossible to take seriously, and I say this as someone who was EXTREMEMLY critical of SV on release

I've seen people earnestly claim that the only reason anyone is buying this game is for Emma

Was hunting for a Mawile, and decided to walk around in one of the wild areas to try to catch the last Pokemon I needed to complete it

I...uh...found something better than a Mawile

Managed to catch a Hawlucha that was like 7 or 8 levels above the rest of my team and had the restraint to not immediately use it to decimate everyone

Surprisingly, not too much at the start

Now when I get access to the boutiques...
