Mario & Luigi is a series that means a great deal to me. It was a formative series for ironing out my taste in games and setting me on the path to experience many of my other favorites. Consider this a love letter of sorts... a VERY long one. I present to you all: Mario & Luigi Made Me Love RPGs! ⤵⤵

Bowser's Inside Story has many admirable qualities, using its obvious affection for the DS to adapt more of the Mario universe into RPG form.
It makes for a pretty strange game, but I wouldn't have Bowser's best and only outing any other way.

Tired of Zelda discourse? Not yet you're not! With Nintendo handing off the development of Zelda games yet again, I've come to wonder: what even is a Zelda game? Watch the video below to find out.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I think getting into Magic: The Gathering is the event horizon for me pretending I’m not THAT big of a nerd. I mean, I already was a big one, but you can’t talk about ANYTHING in MTG without sounding like someone who has been or is about to get stuffed into a locker.

Fuck, I just started listening to the Mario Galaxy OST to use for the Katamari & Creativity video and I almost started crying. It's been a few years, I've gotta give both of those games a replay.

Trump, Clinton, Bannon, Summers and the wealthy, powerful people on both sides of the aisle who keep us divided being part of the same pedophile friend group should be eye-opening to the people who still believe our struggle is Right vs Left, and not the Top vs the rest of us.

NEW VIDEO - DK Bananza is incredible in many ways, but the star of the show is Pauline who may be the best companion character I’ve ever seen. Let’s take a look at the evolution of Nintendo’s companions to see why she reigns supreme. Enjoy and help share with a repost :)

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
