It makes me sad that future 3D artists will probably miss out on the joy and satisfaction of solving a good retopology puzzle, because they'll just use AI to retopologize everything.

It only just occurs to me now that the real reason Hulk needed to do the unsnap in Endgame is because they needed the gauntlet to be Thanos-sized so the macguffin that gets passed around was already ready to be worn without a fuss. The "it's mostly gamma" is just the narrative justification. =P

I wanna move to the universe where we get unnecessary animated remakes of beloved live action movies.

I have this funny gut feeling that we could actually get DK Jr. in the next Mario Kart, returning for the first time since the first Mario Kart. Like... I think the chance is 1%. Which is higher than the 0.01% chance that I normally give it.

This strengthens my resolve that the updated DK design was the right choice.

The updated Donkey Kong design is an improvement, and I’ll absolutely die on this hill.

I used to be all about overanalysis of gameplay and rampant speculation, but these days, I find myself being sort of annoyed by it. And it makes me a little sad that this is the emotion response I have to the deluge of videos picking apart the Switch 2 reveal trailer.

I'm seeing a lot of people who haven't yet realized that the Switch 2 Joy-Con Strap doesn't attach magnetically. In fact, the entire magnetic face of the Joy-Con is just fully exposed to the open air. The strap attaches with a simple mechanical latch.

Now that Nintendo is embracing the "classic mario" aesthetic, more YouTubers need to become familiar with the names Yoichi Kotabe and Shigehisa Nakaue. Kotabe solidified the 2D Mario look in the late 80s and early 90s, and Nakaue has been carrying that torch in newer games.

I think it's a confluence of a few things. First, we should recognize that many of the ways that Mario's design has evolved over the decades were due to both technical limitations of early 3D as well as general design trends of the time. (1/?)

I'm so on board for the future of Mario's character designs to be all about adherence to classic Mario artwork, starting with Mario Wonder and now Mario Kart 10(?).

I'm not saying this is a reasonable expectation for Switch 2. But if a mouse-style IR sensor is part of the base feature set, and games actually support it as an input, who's to say this wouldn't be possible, even if only from third parties?

Okay, so with the idea that the Switch 2 Joycon can be used as a mouse, I feel like there might actually be a proper ergonomic "Nintendo Switch Pro Mouse" Like, the point of the Joycon is to be barely usable in a pinch, but the Pro Controller also exists.

I swear, if we can play a Splatoon game with mouse aiming, that'd be a game changer. I can't even express how much I want that.
