The big Nintendo franchises are in such an interesting spot right now cause it's clear that the old guys at the company have had their careers defined by the idea that every console generation is a technological leap that reinvents The Entire Idea Of What A Game Is, but that era of massive tech leaps sort of ended a while ago. So they're stuck trying to make every big flagship game a reinvention at the design level, and that means we're suddenly going 10 years between mainline 3D Mario entries, for example.

Oh and then there's Sakurai who gets to do a passion project rebooting a property nobody expected to see again, then has to go back in the Smash mines for another decade to earn the right to do it again.

Monolith soft getting to make a Xenoblade game once in a blue moon as reward for being Nintendo's entire asset division

much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’

worst part of using discord with a lot of fun custom emotes is that they become an instinctual part of your texting vernacular. what do you mean i can't just drop an :ashbaby: or :bergentruck: wherever i choose. these glyphs are central to my twisted version of the written english language; communicating without them is like casting a yet-fledged angel from the heavenly balusters and commanding it to soar

"Foxes Are Completely Trustworthy" literally spells out FACT btw. and that's because it is one.

Happy new year to me. No Gund tipped over 500 notes. Yippee!
