In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline will often point out a banana when Donkey Kong approaches it. Due to a quirk in the game's item noticing priority, it is possible for Pauline to shout "An apple!" when approaching a banana, appearing confused about the nature of the fruit.

Rochester Pride today! I need a Pan flag too.

The birds in Super Mario Sunshine do not have terribly intelligent AI. It is possible for a bird to fly into a wall, repeatedly try to change its flight pattern to avoid it, and still continue to fly into the same wall.

I'm so happy for you and excited and honored to be part of your life. I love you!

Panels of strained melancholy.

Panels of hardship.

Panels of love and support on a scale beyond words.

Three chapters on my life in the span of 2 years

Today, I got closure with the first.
A strained melancholy

The second was simply personal hardship. Survival.

But the last? It was a time of healing. Full of so much love and support - from old and new friends, coworkers, neighbors, and connections

None of the many emails Mario receives in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are spam, despite that being a universal experience when using email. Unused text in the original Japanese version reveals that spam emails were in fact planned to be included during development.

I was not out at my previous job and it was annoying, started my current job being out and it's much better, obviously having supportive coworkers (or just respectful coworkers) helps though.

Trump’s ban on passport gender marker changes is on hold—for now | Xtra Magazine ANALYSIS: A temporary window has opened for trans Americans to get documents that accurately match their gender identity.

A temporary window has opened for trans Americans to get documents that accurately match their gender identity.

Due to the forced diagonal-down perspective in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a trick is employed whereby Mario actually walks faster towards/away from the camera than alongside the camera to create the illusion of smooth movement from that angle in particular.

Having an amazing trip in MA with my lovely girlfriend and she won me this octopus plush that's is trans colored at the crane game! Her name is Melody and she is dating Octavia.

I don't think it is!

In Mario Kart 64, it is possible to "annoy Lakitu into quitting". If the player keeps driving out of bounds in Frappe Snowland and get rescued by Lakitu, at some point Lakitu will drop the player into the water and no longer perform any rescues.

And you can too

A 2004 internal Nintendo DS diagnostic cartridge contained various graphical tests, among them this "Rotating Mario Cube". A faulty unit would not be able to properly rotate the cube.

An immensely obscure tiny detail in Super Mario Sunshine is that Strollin' Stus have heightened awareness of Mario if he has no water left. Pumping FLUDD with no water makes them notice Mario from much further away. This took players 22 years after the game's release to discover.

The Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. has a bizarre error whereby four of the languages of the Mario Drawing Song are mixed up, so that e.g. selecting "French" will play the song in German. Nintendo has officially acknowledged the issue, but never fixed it.

Forgot to post here but 2.5 years HRT yay

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

Zohran Mamdani's shocked American pundits by running on a platform that provided an alternative to Trump, the Democrats catering to him (hello, Newsom), and misogynist Andrew Cuomo. his economics-first campaign stridently protected trans rights as Dems largely refuse to. me on his win @teenvogue.com

Internal names for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames reveal that the developers named some microgames after games Nintendo does not have the rights to, but changed the spelling to avoid potential copyright issues, such as "BAC MAN", "DRARAN QUEST", "BEETMANIA" etc.

please change to anything but spotify. like there’s a bigger shift that it’d be nice if people did with actually owning music again but the lowest effort thing you can do today right now is just change to literally any other streaming service. playlist converters exist.

The "Staying Asheep" sheep-counting minigame in WarioWare: Twisted has no maximum speed limit. A theoretical player with superhuman reflexes can make the sheep go increasingly faster indefinitely.

heartwrenching news. hypnospace outlaw was up there as one of the best indie experiences you could play, a sincere, non-ironic depiction of 90's internet that captured all its stupidity, and its humanity. i fully recommend anyone who hasn't checked it out yet to make it a priority
