Experimental post: The Duality of Whacka In the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Whacka can finally be fought, and has a suspiciously specific 108 HP. The game both offers a ridiculously simplistic explanation for this as well as a complex one steeped in Dharmic symbolism.

In Paper Mario, the original version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Super Paper Mario, Whacka was just a harmless whack-a-mole creature that could be abused to get Whacka Bumps, extremely valuable healing items. After being hit enough times, the Whacka goes extinct, teaching the players the consequences of their actions. However, in the Switch version of Paper Mario: TTYD, he instead moves to the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and becomes an optional superboss with 108 HP.
He is fought at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and has to be hit 8 times in order for the fight to activate.
but also
The number 108 is considered sacred by the Dharmic religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Whacka symbolizes karma for killing him in past games
ring the bell 108 times, per Japanese tradition? The ringing of the bell represents the 108 bonno-defilements of man..
Buddhism holds the view that there are precisely 108 temptations on the path to Nirvana.
Therefore, in order to reach Nirvana, every Buddhist must resist 108 earthly temptations.
With a combination of any of the elements of the above four factors, there are 108 ways with which the karmas can be attracted to the soul.
the earthly temptation to get those Whacka Bumps
There are 108 qualities of praiseworthy souls
Some people think that the human spirit travels through 108 stages, while others believe that enlightenment is attainable with just 108 breaths each day while in Intense meditation,
108 beads to awaken your inner light
Meditators count mantra repetitions with mala beads of 108, (100 counted for self, 8 for mistakes and for those who have not the opportunity to meditate in mantra)
108 breaths to return to your truth
108 mantras to dissolve ego into dever
108 steps from the self to the soul
The Sacred Meaning of 108 Temple Steps
the journey to Whacka is a journey of enlightenment

NEWS: Epic initially approached SEGA about bringing Sonic to #Fortnite more than a couple years ago, but because Sonic wasn't allowed to hold a gun it didn't go anywhere. This time around, they came up with Android Sonic to get around that. #SonicNews

PSA: Sonic content is leaving #Fortnite's shop today. #SonicNews Stuff is cycled out of the shop periodically, so it should be back. Sonic isn't going anywhere and will be available with the season pass until the end of October.

SEGA has canceled their Super Game, which was a AAA live service game aimed at global audiences. This came after weak F2P game performance last year, including Sonic Rumble Party. They are shifting focus away from F2P games & have already moved 100 people to full game development. #SonicNews

This is an illustration I recently finished for my dear friend @seanfitzpatrick.bsky.social as a super late Christmas gift. It might look like a bunch of random characters thrown together, but if you’re cultured, you’ll probably get it ;-)
