Mario and Luigi high fiving in an elevator in the Super Mario Bros Movie from 1993
Hey Bluesky!
I used to make thread posts for Twitter. I miss doing them, so I'm gonna try them here!
They do take some time for me to put together, but if y'all enjoy this one, I'll do more. 😊
Here are my personal favorite "Fun Facts" from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film production!
A THREAD...🧵
I understood the vision but hot damn did it make Xbox consoles irrelevant 🥴🎮
overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.
good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.
good night, sewers, everywhere.

A screenshot of a lore entry in Pokopia, 1/3: "We all know that everyone's beloved music streaming services are being forced to shut down one by one due to the steep rise of server fees all over the world. While music lovers are still mourning the loss of these streaming services, it isn't all bad news in the world of music! It's our pleasure to share a little about a technological blast from the past - compact discs (CDs)!"
A screenshot of a lore entry in Pokopia, 2/3: "CDs are cool little gadgets used by our great-great-grandparents to listen to all of their favorite music. Each CD can hold a little over 10 songs, making it easy to find a new favorite and listen to it over and over again! And that's not all! Each CD is a one-time purchase, which means that there's no need for a subscription fee - No matter how many times you listen!"
A screenshot of a lore entry in Pokopia, 3/3: "Poké Mart is working hard to create a solid lineup of CDs for music lovers to choose from. We hope to be THE destination for all those who want music in their life - now and forever!"
Pokopia going fucking hard on the commentary is not something anyone was calling but holy fucking shit.
Finding employment in the US is rough right now.

If you've applied/interviewed without any luck and have questions about what might be going on behind the curtain, feel free to comment and I'll shed light where I can.

I get accused of using gen AI in my work lol

I'm very excited for Reign of the Empire for a variety of reasons (Kleya! More Mon with a teenage daughter!) & also this is set right in one of the emptiest years during this era. If I ever get to update the Rebel Cells spread in Star Wars Timelines ... that's gonna be a great time.
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
AND HE DESIGNED BOBA FETT 😳

My daughter LOVES playing 'Grounded' on Xbox so this weekend, we had a double feature of:
🍿 Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
🍿 Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
She LOVED them and it was so nice to watch them again because it had been a long while for me.

Everything in the living room has been running SO GOOD ever since I hardwired everything with an Ethernet switch instead of connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi 🎮😌↔️🌐
It really is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what Microsoft's in-house Xbox handheld will look like 🤔

It's weird looking at pictures of myself from before I became a father. I'm looking at a completely different man.
Here's what I've got installed on my ROG Xbox Ally X 🎮👀
I'm leaning into RPGs after a very long while 😄

Life is so short and time is precious.
Do what makes you happy.
