Not only is Super Mario Bros. 2 a "real" Mario game, but also there's some credible evidence that Doki Doki Panic began as a potential sequel to Super Mario Bros. 1.
There’s Super Mario DNA in Doki Doki Panic — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And becoming Super Mario Bros. 2 was just a return to its roots.

The newest episode of Otherworld mentioned this Alex Colville painting from 1976 that looks eerily like a screenshot from a PlayStation-era video game and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Nintendo has decided that Lubba, a big jolly star creature in Super Mario Galaxy 2, is female, but you might be surprised to know that it isn't necessarily a retcon.

Wait, Super Mario Galaxy’s Lubba Is Female? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And if she is, this “change” may not actually be Nintendo retconning itself.

Stunningly beautiful score for a flashback I was grateful for the chance to write. I probably have too much empathy for Lee, but loneliness can motivate some pretty bad decisions. One time growing up, I faked a tornado warning so my family would hang out with me in the basement.

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

What's funny (in a crying way) is that the Democrats want to cave for a promise of a vote to only stop the pain long enough for Republicans to win the midterms. I'm hard-pressed to think of a stupider outcome.

In the latest Gayest Episode Ever, we look at a 2018 Simpsons that riffs on drag culture — and does a better Drag Race-style musical number than Drag Race actually has. Co-writer @carolynomine.bsky.social explains how this ep came to be. Hint: tupperwear!

The chokehold this game had on me...
Happy Anniversary to Xenogears (PS1)! 🎂🎉
Released in North America on this day in 1998, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It's still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!
