Two well-known voice clips from Super Mario Sunshine are Mario saying "Aren't I done yet?!" and "There's more?!" in an exasperated way, long presumed unused. However, there is actually a way to hear them in-game, as they have a chance to play when he enters a level at low health.

I can look back on a nostalgic movie and think "What a heartwarming story that was" or "What an affirming message".
But are the people who were with me when I watched it still in my camp? Were they ever really?

So far PT was the scariest to me, and disturbing, and existentially eerie.
A fridge swaying from the ceiling with muffled screams and blood seeping out of it. A bloody paper bag telling me to watch out because the gap in the door is a separate reality, and I can't be sure that the only me is me

RedSeaGull 👽 @theredseagull.bsky.social · 1d

It's sad to say, but when I look back on good memories of movies or games with friends and family, it was often just those things themselves that were and are wholesome, more than the people I enjoyed them with. Their approval and love turned out to be so conditional and fleeting

It would be really cool if even one of these entry level job postings asking for a high school diploma would consider hiring a guy with a Bachelor's degree

Because I've found myself so misunderstood throughout my life, and am either more aware of it recently or subjected to more of it, I'm wondering, what is it that makes people prone to misunderstanding others?
Just a lack of interest? A lack of empathy? A lack of sympathy for themselves? Projection?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 again tonight, loving it so far.

It really is just more of the same, but that's great, like a long DLC.

I hope it will last another week until Little Nightmares 3 comes out.

If not it's back to Beyond Good and Evil, which is an early 2000s gem, but it's easy to get stuck on

Mario Galaxy 2 is great so far

I like some more than others, but I've been spoiled with an avalanche of Mario games, getting a Switch after not keeping up with Nintendo for two decades

I also set up a Backloggd page

You can see all my favorite games in order:

Okay here are some good ones I know of that are either cheap or might go on sale at some point, if you have questions just let me know

Incidentally the dev of Lorn's Lure included a Vinny easter egg in the game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofbR...

I'd be happy to recommend some of my favorites so far that might be cheap enough, or might go on sale eventually
