Here are ways you can officially support me online as monetary needs grow in these trying times.

Any way you choose to provide support would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Thank you!

You really are living your dream, and I am so incredibly happy for you.

I love that DK makes the same face with his normal banana hoard that he does for Banandium Gems.

Even better that punching through them causes him to eat them, same with any other food-based terrain.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 14d

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK's banana awareness is tied to how far the camera is zoomed out. If the bananas are offscreen, this can create the impression of him playing a silly game with the camera where he makes a funny face only when the player isn't looking closely.

This is probably the only thing I would even remotely consider getting a Game-Key Card Switch 2 game for, because if I had a copy of Persona 3 Reload, I would absolutely add that to the list of possibilities.

I found out recently that Zeno Robinson will be attending Sac Anime in January, and because of that, I'm absolutely going.

Question is, which of the things he's in that I own do I have him sign?

Dragon Ball Super Hero or Fire Emblem Engage?

Or should he sign Super Mario RPG for fan-voicing Geno?

I probably won't retire from animation just because the YouTube algorithm sucks, but instead, I might alternate between Chapters of Striker and full cartoons and do smaller practice GIFs so I don't get rusty.

Honestly, if YouTube's not gonna support my views, then I'm just gonna Harry Partridge it.

It really is fitting that for this Halloween-themed update, they reaffirm not only some of the greatest Horror Film monsters and killers, but also introduce Scooby Doo.

Furthermore, because Microsoft is a computer publishing giant, there's really no reason for them to drop out of game development, as much as there is every reason based on the above post. They're pissing away all their goodwill, but still remaining on top somehow.

Make it make sense.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 8h

It really is a conundrum, the State of Xbox right now. Game Pass makes more money than the games themselves, but because of raising prices for that and hardware, in addition to layoffs, it really feels like they're trying to drop out of the race, but also trying to stay in.

I absolutely liked it. I am proud to be in that club of minority fans.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 8h

Part of me feels like I should get a Steam Deck so I can play some of my Steam games in my own time without having to rely on streaming to get them out of the way.

After this year, that's gonna have to wait even longer. The Switch 2 really took a bite out of me.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 8h

Not til at least 2030. Playstation 6 can get the ball rolling that year.

When do you think the next generation of consoles should come out?

Great to see three Indies alongside DK, Final Fantasy and Football at the top of the eShop.

Stealth40k @stealth40k.bsky.social · 9h

Switch 2 eShop Best Sellers:

1) Hades II
2) Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles
3) Donkey Kong Bananza
4) Hollow Knight Silksong

I'm still hoping that, if we do get a new F-Zero game somewhere down the line, that Ryu Ga Gotoku develops it, bringing many of those same devs back since F-Zero GX.

That would be a PHENOMENAL Game Awards announcement, if I may be so bold.

"4 cent Garbage." Nice!

As for my suggestion, dress him like Jetman from Rare's 1983 Classic, Jetpac.

Here's a thought. If Nintendo Productions plans to make short films/works based on their franchises...

Can we see them do like a mini series based on the Star Fox animated short they released a few years back?

Gotcha.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 11h

I think we're gonna get trailers via Mini Directs, like with the first movie.

The implications behind that Nun's responses are the real blessing here.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 11h

All right.

1: I like that there are three Disney Princess voices in this cast.

2: I like that the Critical Role players / voices of the titular crew not being credited in this trailer can be interpreted as the creators of the show just being humble.

I don't think Sonic Team had any hand in the Mario & Sonic Olympic games. There are other developers that worked on Sonic games, you know.

VGAfanatic @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 13h

Gotcha.

In addition to the two I brainstormed yesterday, I just came up with several more ideas for Large-scale Prints I could do on a monthly basis throughout 2026, tackling them little by little in similar manner to the way I did Voice Tributes so I'm not overworking myself.
