Not only is Super Mario Bros. 2 a "real" Mario game, but also there's some credible evidence that Doki Doki Panic began as a potential sequel to Super Mario Bros. 1.
There’s Super Mario DNA in Doki Doki Panic — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And becoming Super Mario Bros. 2 was just a return to its roots.

The newest episode of Otherworld mentioned this Alex Colville painting from 1976 that looks eerily like a screenshot from a PlayStation-era video game and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Nintendo has decided that Lubba, a big jolly star creature in Super Mario Galaxy 2, is female, but you might be surprised to know that it isn't necessarily a retcon.

Wait, Super Mario Galaxy’s Lubba Is Female? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And if she is, this “change” may not actually be Nintendo retconning itself.

Stunningly beautiful score for a flashback I was grateful for the chance to write. I probably have too much empathy for Lee, but loneliness can motivate some pretty bad decisions. One time growing up, I faked a tornado warning so my family would hang out with me in the basement.

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

What's funny (in a crying way) is that the Democrats want to cave for a promise of a vote to only stop the pain long enough for Republicans to win the midterms. I'm hard-pressed to think of a stupider outcome.

In the latest Gayest Episode Ever, we look at a 2018 Simpsons that riffs on drag culture — and does a better Drag Race-style musical number than Drag Race actually has. Co-writer @carolynomine.bsky.social explains how this ep came to be. Hint: tupperwear!
