I am a series of rainwater ghosts in a brain in a trans gender body, most of which are girls called aralyn. We create art and comics and songs and all, and it's a whole lot of fun, and also go on journeys walking. Take all conciously, jest in earnest. (20)

They made gromit a dog to lessen the connotations of him being wallaces gay lover. He wasn't a dog originally.

While the handheld introduces luigi and the bros. title format, the arcade game introduces aesthetic features like pow blocks pipes and turtle enemies, and gameplay features like hitting tiles from underneath to disturb stuff above, and enemies flipping to an inert state you can kick.

appendix: the reason i consider mario bros arcade to be a mainline entry but not mario bros game and watch despite the game and watch releasing first is due to it directly following from and expanding on donkey kong's platforming mechanics, being the intermediary step setting up that gameplay type.

Ironically, despite making light over the "if supers in the title then the game is vital" rhetoric that would lead to some funny lists, asserting that the SUPER mario series must consist of sequels to SUPER mario brothers almost does this

I consider Donkey Kong (arcade) and Mario Bros. (arcade) to both be unabiguously entries in any definition of the main mario series. Any forward extrapolation tying mario 3, mario world, mario wonder to SMB would also backwards extrapolate to include DK and MB

the one part of jan Misali's methodology i reject in "how many super mario games are there" and it's sequels is that they define the mainline super mario series as consisting of super mario bros. (1985) and it's sequels, almost creating a loaded question biasing against games released before that.

i think truthfully i like the whole thing except verse 2. its nice to hear chorus 1 in acoustic but verse 2 feels like its stretching it. plus i sorta kinda hate the newer lyrics there.. the "thought you were a perfect fit" sticks out as sloppy. but in a way thats cool

Aralyn! 🕯️/🌸 @arakay.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
i really really really want to love the gold album version of up in the clouds but extending the acoustic buildup from being the first verse to being the first two verses and choruses just hasn't clicked with me yet

Mitsuru by the water 🌊 🩷
Character art painting of Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3 Reload (ペルソナ3) in her beach outfit, which includes a white bikini, white tie-up cover up skirt, and pink flower. The ocean/waves and a large cloud are behind her. She gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The lighting is almost golden hour/early evening and makes her look golden.

Notice how sera has the ability to slow down time and yet she couldn't score an arbitrarily high number beyond human gameplay to secure a permanent high score. This is a subtle hint to her being a fake gamer.

Like it is really noteworthy that they chose to make exactly one halo game where you get to decide who the character is in terms of both look and the gender/voice actor. Is there not a million tons of substance you can gleam from that. Or is it easier to never think about it.

Aralyn! 🕯️/🌸 @arakay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
It's funny how being in majority groups makes you engage with games less interestingly. If you're a guy who has never thought about gender it's easy to say "noble six from halo is canonically male cause it's the default", not acknowledging how interesting it is you CAN be female

i should make a game about someone who has their grappling hook stolen and you unlock every possible cliched or interesting mechanic ever in trying to get it back and as soon as you get it the game ends

It is possible to corrupt Donkey Kong Country 3 simply by being too skillful. Clearing the final level in one go without dying can result in Dixie and Kiddy becoming trapped in a nightmarish red location without escape, all just for being too good at the game.

Shigeru Miyamoto has claimed that Toad is his least favorite character in Mario Kart. Despite this, in all footage of him playing Mario Kart 8, he picked Toad every time. Whether he was joking or specifically picking a character he hates to challenge himself is unknown.
I have an important question. Nintendo has also just released Mariokart 7 for the 3DS. In every iteration of Mariokart, I've always preferred to play as Toad. Who's your favorite character?
That's the most challenging question! I'm sorry that I cannot come up with an interesting answer. Somehow, it's habit to me, but I play with Mario. He's a very balanced character.
Who's your least favorite character?
Toad. [Laughs]
My favorite character is your least favorite character?
I understand that he has some popularity. Somehow.
In a 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shigeru Miyamoto has claimed Toad is his least favorite Mario Kart character.
In December 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen played Mario Kart 8 against YouTuber Rosanna Pansino. Miyamoto picked Toad.
Also in December 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen played Mario Kart 8 against YouTuber iJustine. Miyamoto picked Toad again.
Finally, in January 2015, the two played Mario Kart 8 against YouTube group Smosh Games. Miyamoto picked Toad again.
Whether Miyamoto simply had an enormous change of heart about Toad in the intervening 2 years, or whether he was picking his least favorite to challenge or punish himself, is unknown.
