(he/him/his) I love video games (especially Nintendo) and animation. I try not to get into arguments and want to be as respectful as I can to everyone. I DEFINITELY like it here more than Twitter (or "X" as it's now called).

OK, done dragging my feet on this. Here's a thread for "Wario-Like" games, games that are either out or in development that are "like Wario", or more specifically Wario Land. This is something I'm passionate about and I'd love these games to get more attention. #WarioLikes #WarioLike #WARIO-LIKE

New! 💥Slightly Damned 1169: Anyone remember when Iratu and Sakido last used these attacks over 1,000 pages ago? lol

Page 1169 of the webcomic Slightly Damned. Iratu hits Sakido with a magical attack that sends her into a boulder, which explodes. Sakido uses wind magic to slice through the ground at Iratu's feet, causing lava to gush from the fissure.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We must encourage Democrats to keep holding the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

I can barely believe it but my 40th birthday Xenogears sub-a-thon is STILL going with at least another 5 1/2 hours left on the clock. It's very likely I'll reach the end of Disc 1 today so that's just incredible progress. So come watch more Xenogears fun! www.twitch.tv/bitnerdgames

Oh I totally forgot to update about this:

It was actually alright. I didn’t hate it.

I’m just sad that one of my favorite franchises as to die getting the Morbius treatment. Box office and actor all in one. 🥲

Going in to see #TRON Ares. Can’t wait to see god show his hatred for me on full display.

My favorite of Bowser’s Elite Minions, the Koopatrol! Only ever appearing in the Paper Mario Games, Mario Pinball Land and a cameo in Super Princess Peach (of which I based this art on!), these guys are awesome 😎

One of the most memorable aspects of the first Mario Galaxy was Rosalina's storybook, which detailed her backstory. I don't know how they'd work it into the movie, but surely it'll make an appearance. #MarioMovieSequel #MarioMovie2 #SuperMarioGalaxyMovie #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie #MarioGalaxyMovie

Mario walking into the Comet Observatory's Library, where Rosalina is about to read from her storybook to the Lumas, from Super Mario Galaxy.

I still can't believe the final version of the game actually includes Swap Mode, insane!

I can definitely imagine looking at the Noise's face here and going "wait, the Noise already looks like this half the time".

Alternative version of the sprite for Pepperman’s graffiti. I just thought midway drawing this that it doesn’t make sense to portray Noise as an evil freak because he’s already like that by default. 6/7
