the mario movie is bad but in that really frustrating way where there are good parts and it could've been really good if they'd tried a bit harder

Games evolve with the times. What was considered 'The Standard' back in the NES/Mega Drive era is different to modern sensibilities.

What hasn't changed are games taking up more and more space for Reasons

Like 3/4ths of the way through Jedi Fallen Order, and really hyped for Jedi Survivor right now. Game is huge, but it will be worth it.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Really not sure how I feel about The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog devs seeing my incredibly clever joke coming and adding it to the banned names list.

does it filter “raccoon” as well, because if so that’s probably an overly finicky slur filter

Finished Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Other than some glitches and minor bugs / audio sync issues on xbox, it was an extremely good game and story.

One of those songs is 'Holding Out For A Hero' by Bonnie Tyler though, which I chose to think of as a Saints Row 3 reference.

I know, it’s the classic post-Dreamworks bullshit, but….in a Mario movie? With iconography that is already basically considered timeless? Why pull that poo poo? That’s a rhetorical question because I know exactly why, but it’s still loving depressing.

Lol that was the worst one tbh. He’s learning to be a hero! So it’s that popular 80s song with the word hero in it! I wanted to die.

I remember fondly my sister getting embarrassed because the giant gingerbread man's demise made her tearful. Never feel embarrassed for having feelings in a movie.
