I just listened to Mario Kart World’s new reimagining of DK’s Jungle Parkway and I’ll be damned if that isn’t the biggest glow up in all of VGM.

Happy 9th anniversary to the console that disrupted the game!

So why its own thing and not in Nintendo Classics?

It's simple

Save Data Cloud & Rewind. Game Freak have routinely not wanted these so you can't scum encounters/releases/trades

Plus HOME connectivity would need its own save file too

As of December 31, 2025, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold over 70 million units in its lifetime!

Aromantics, too! Can choose to have no dating preferences!

Happy birthday to the lovely @adrianafigueroa.com ! Hope you’ve had a good year and that 2026 will be good one, too. 🥳

13 years ago I started my own YouTube channel with a Let’s Play of HeartGold, mentioning that your videos inspired me to do so. Though my channel isn’t active anymore and I have other aspirations now, I’m grateful to you for inspiring me to make one in the 1st place. Glad you’re LPing HGSS yourself!

Shout out to Zink who is defeating Demise everyday until The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess comes to Nintendo Switch 2.

How long do you think it will take?

There’ll never be a more iconic 2nd level in a video game than Chemical Plant Zone.

On this day in 2016, 9 years ago, Pokémon Sun & Moon were first released.

These games started the 7th generation and added 81 Pokémon while following the story of the appearance of the mysterious Ultra Beasts

It’s reassuring to hear this. Even with this dream career I’ve worked so hard for, I still go through waves where I’m dissatisfied with my life, especially whenever I see my old school friends and my family.

We now have an official look at Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda & Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link in the upcoming Legend of Zelda live-action movie. (Releasing May 7, 2027)

What do you think of their look?

Official Pokémon account spoiling Megas previously unannounced before release, huh.

I hate this. I hate being pushed to finish a game in such a short amount of time. It was what ruined my experiences of Super Mario Odyssey, PLA, and Sc/Vi.

Many happy returns! Hope you’re having a fantastic day.

Once I hear the instrumental bridge to Wizzard’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday in a shop, it’ll officially be Christmas retail season to me.

Sure, there'll be plenty of Christmas products going up in stores in October, but those stores *will* be judged for that.

It's no secret that I've never been much for Halloween, but one thing I do like about it is how it serves as a hard roadblock, or checkpoint if you like, for Christmas advertising/marketing.

First shiny in PLZA! Too bad it’s a grass-type, so won’t be using it on my team. But shiny Mega Victreebel will be a treat to see.

Hey! Did you know? <3 PLAYFUL RUDENESS when used on people who aren't your pals is just RUDENESS just letting you know! because golly, would it SUCK if you thought you were being chummy but instead were making people days worse every time you spoke.

quick PSA for those who need it!

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

The OST in Kirby Air Riders, based on what I'm hearing in the Direct, sounds fantastic.

Regarding PLZA, I have to say the Hotel Z music with variations of the Eternal Prison track from X&Y gives me so much emotional whiplash with how casual and laid back it sounds. It gives me the same kind of whiplash when I heard the monastery theme in FE3H after listening to The Edge of Dawn.

Hisui outdated.

Paldea overrated.

LONG have we waited.

KALOS REACTIVATED!! 💙🤍❤️

Is it just me or does the Team Flare logo look a bit like Mr Game & Watch looking to the right?
