Eventually I will learn enough Japanese to ask the Osaka hotel I stayed at last year what the song that plays on their TV is called. I do not think my Japanese classes will teach me how to make that question not sound like a prank to the receptionist, however.

Off-topic post for the day: Yesterday's Grammy's marks one year since I started making a point to listen to music in album form, and I was rewarded with the best year for pop music that I can remember. If you haven't, give Cowboy Carter a listen FRONT TO BACK so you can understand why it won.

One kinda fascinating thing as a very small content creator with only a handful of followers is seeing which of my posts get engagement. Currently my recent Snifit post has the most likes of all the ā€œPokĆ©monā€ Iā€™ve revealed for Super Mario Monsters RPG so far. #gamedev #fangame

Might actually be the only person in a showing of #SonicMovie3 today, which raises a very important question.

Look Iā€™m not gonna post my Spotify wrapped this year because itā€™s just brat. Itā€™s aaaallll brat.

Wondering how the PokĆ©mon battle system would work if they overhauled the RNG. I prefer the way games like Magic: the Gathering handles randomnessā€”i.e. the choices available are random but they always Do The Thingā€”as opposed to PokĆ©mon, where you always have the same four moves but they may do nada.

TWO THINGS FOR TODAY FIRST, if you'd like to join in the wild speculation on the likely final version of my Super Mario Monsters RPG "Pokedex", check out my art gallery on PokeCommunity: www.pokecommunity.com/threads/supe... I've got a full numbered list with all of the TYPES filled in! (cont'd)

Today, Iā€™m thankful for all the folks who have given feedback on my Super Mario Monsters RPG fangame project, even if itā€™s as simple as a like on a sprite. Itā€™s been a super cool year and Iā€™m looking forward to the next! #gamedev #pokemonessentials #rpgmaker #pokemonrxmp #pokemon

Y'all, I think my Paper Mario Monsters RPG "Pokedex" might be locked šŸ‘€ I've made cuts over the past few days to accommodate some heavy hitters! In a bit, I'll update my Pokedex template so that the speculation can begin in earnest :) #pokemon #mario #fangame #gamedev #pokemonessentials #rpgmaker

Game dev song for the day btw

By the way, the reason I'm posting a handful of help requests for ideas to finish my Mario Pokedex is, well, I'm just about finished with my Mario Pokedex :) I'm almost at a point where it feels 100% RIGHT, and I'm excited to keep designing and devving other parts of the fangame.

HELP WANTED: If you were going to put Bub-ulb in a Mario-themed Pokemon-style fangame, what plant-based creature would it evolve into? Thematically, it might be appropriate to evolve into one of the Flower Spirits from Paper Mario. Y'all have any other ideas?

Game dev song for the day

Forever and always

HELP WANTED: in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there are several variations of a creature called Wizzerd. If you were going to put Wizzerd in a PokƩmon-like setting, what would it evolve into or out of?

Super Mario Monsters RPG teenyblog: Recently Iā€™ve been setting up the skeleton of the major battles throughout the game and deciding which creatures should hit their power spikes around those times. Itā€™s been lots of fun to think about, even if it feels like Iā€™m getting deep in the weeds.
