(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

Tales of Alethrion is such a painfully underrated gem. It’s a masterclass in animation and wordless storytelling.

It definitely gives off a different feeling compared to the original. I like what it was going for, at least.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's soundtrack is immaculate, you don't need me to tell you that

But I did not comprehend how much effort went into the remaster's OST, that soundtrack is FOURTEEN HOURS! And the original's is FOUR! That's crazy!

It's nuts that the Switch version expanded the soundtrack that much. I mean, 10 additional hours of music. I don't think I realized just how much bigger the OST got.

I've seen some people say the GameCube OST for TTYD on Nintendo music is "super compressed". Honestly, it sounds fine to me, but then again I'm not an expert on this sort of thing. Bar is pretty low for this app anyway, though. #NintendoMusic #PaperMario #PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor

In Super Mario 3D World, eight colorful star particles appear every time a Ground Pound is performed. An extremely rare event of all eight of them matching in color may occur with a less than 1 in 2,000,000 chance. No known recordings of this event exist.

in good news, it appears every Playtonic contributor who's no longer w/ the company is at least listed in Y-R's credits, listed as a member of the Playtonic team (as opposed to a credit demotion of any kind)

Sigh

You know how I feel about Playtonic, but I gotta say, giving Replaylee a 5/10, especially after writing many very complimentary paragraphs about it, is nothing short of bonkers.

Reads more like an amateur blog post which concluded with "didn't like the vibes"

The Centaur and the Siren

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. On a shore, a beautiful mermaid and a young centaur meet. They look at each other.

Panel 2. Close-up portrait of the two protagonists, both look away, blushing.

Panel 3. Later, at sunset, the two admire the sunset together, side by side. They're a couple.

Panel 4. The happy couple watches their two half-human, half-seahorse children playing in the water.
Narrator: A few years later...
