Oh, and this was a big one on the old site: All the ways that Popeye changed video games (mostly but not limited to Mario stuff). He may have (indirectly) inspired Mario's whole look, actually.

I feel like gay men in general need an agreed-upon way to say “I am not looking to hook up. It’s a me thing. This is not a reflection on you.” Because saying that often does not yield the desired result.

Just now occurred to me that whoever is making the Mario Galaxy movie was saddled with the unenviable task of differentiating Rosalina from Elsa, even though Rosalina debuted way before. But I am sure they’re like “We can’t have people thinking she’s an Elsa ripoff.”

The power of mu! There's an obscure bit of Chrono Trigger lore involving Masa & Mune's big sister, Doreen, that actually helps make sense of a random hanging thread in Super Mario Bros. 2. This one got super weird!

Back when I worked at a newspaper I had an undermining coworker named Martha, and one day while installing something on her computer I set up an autocorrect to change every instance of Martha to Marsha. And so she’d just send out emails with the wrong name and I don’t think she ever noticed?

Going to start a business called Spiteful Drum Kits, where you can gift a drum set that will arrive fully assembled. The idea is that you can send these to homes that have children, and childfree people can use the threat of Spiteful Drum Kits as leverage in family negotiations.
