As I suspected, my Legends Z-A copy isn't here yet, and I 100% completed Mario Galaxy 2 last night, so it's time for Mario Galaxy 1. If Pokemon don't got me I know Mario got me can I get an amen.

It's the mechanic itself. It's specifically from Xenoblade Chronicles X. You can change the time in that game by interacting with certain benches.

"You should never play Xenoblade 3 first" is a weak mindset. We can do worse. Start at Xenoblade X Chapter 13. Have someone else play the first 12 chapters for you, then take over from there. Your buddy gets to sit on a cliffhanger, and you get to experience confusion like never before.

Oh yeah you're right.

Just started randomly thinking about Pichu? Yeah, sure, love that thing. No thoughts only Pichu.

Shiny Mega Dragonite is beautiful oml.

I'm perfectly okay with no voice acting in Pokemon because I don't think voice actors should have to be subjected to the Pokemon fanbase.

Can't look at the Pokemon feed because Legends Z-A spoilers. Can't look at the Xenoblade feed because Legends Z-A is being compared to Xenoblade and therefore spoilers. All I have is Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy save me.

Oh! It's in the Kentucky void!

Tracking information for the copy of Pokemon Legends Z-A I ordered. The shipping status shows that it departed a FedEx facility in Independence, Kentucky at 3:54am on 10/16/2025.

I have no idea what the status of my Legends Z-A order is, gang. I don't think Walmart's system is tracking or displaying it correctly at all, and I don't have enough time before work to chat with Customer Service so 🤷‍♀️

Oh dang it. I beat The Perfect Run one attempt too late. My death count is 421. 😭

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 19h

I'm so happy to have 100% completed Super Mario Galaxy 2. Really really fun game. I love it more than ever. I would be perfectly fine if I never saw The Perfect Run ever again, though.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 19h

IT'S OKAY I DID IT!!! WE GOT THERE!

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 19h

Guess who beat The Perfect Run then got hit by a stray hammer right before entering the Launch Star! 🫠

Oh YouTube IS completely fucked right now. How am I supposed to eat this dinner in front of me now?

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 21h

Hey why did they make the level harder for The Perfect Run? Nintendo? Nintendo, I am speaking to you.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 22h

Could I continue playing Mario even if Pokemon shows up tomorrow? Yeah, absolutely. But I know myself. Once there's a new Pokemon game in front of me, there's no going back for a hot minute.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 22h

Not me lowkey hoping my copy of Legends Z-A arrives late so I can grind The Perfect Run in Mario Galaxy 2 tomorrow instead. Why am I hoping for this? There's no way it will be fun.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 22h

I know it could be seen in the customization menu in trailers, but it's nice to have confirmation that Legends Z-A kept the option for freckles. This is an important matter to me.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 23h

Okay we got through The Ultimate Test. I still don't know how anyone can do that level flawlessly but I guess I'll find out in about 3,000 more starbits.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 23h

On the plus side, I now know exactly what I would be like if I were a Toad.

Mario talking to the green Toad at the beginning of Grandmaster Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 who yells "YOSHIIIIIIII!"

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 23h

I've never done The Perfect Run in Mario Galaxy 2 and still haven't but I'm putting it up there as the most brutal final 3D Mario level because I can't even get through the level with the regular amount of health.

I could never be a Dancing With the Stars judge. I would've given Robert Irwin an 11 and then stolen the other judges' paddles and wrote the number 11 on those, too.

I saw the stat last night that the New York Rangers just became the first team in NHL history to not score a goal in their first three home games of a season and I'm honestly less concerned about the Rangers here and more surprised that that's never happened before.

I need Xenoblade to become popular enough for Nintendo to turn Nopon into marketable plushies.
