The yoshi melting into dry bones. I played world before 3 so I always thought the dry bones were fossils of the yoshi and koopa troopa divergence point, the sprite’s head is huge in smw

I had not seen this and it is really well done.
Harmony of Dissonance’s “kii!” sound effect some monsters make always sticks with me.

i saw some hyper-specific Mario 64 meme on someone’s facebook wall and it inspired me to use about 45 minutes of my time coming up with insulting horoscopes based on which level of Mario 64 you like… because why not!
when i’m feeling less lazy i’ll write them all down in this thread instead of just posting a twitter link.

thinking about when the homestuck guy got rights from namco to make a comedy dating sim with characters from their back catalogue (along with ones from homestuck??) and then somehow apparently achieved supreme unmemorability despite all this and i never saw anyone talk about it again. the chaotic neutral brand VN thing to the lawful evil that was the kfc one.

I’m late to the party but the ridiculous list is mostly because of how fortnite is distributed. If you download and play fortnite on your ps4 that means you downloaded from the playstation store and already have a psn account
Steam is a weird one though

especially since I can imagine her being a real car-nerd and explaining for five minutes why an Indycar Tyrrell three-axis drift would NOT WORK AS DEPICTED, GODDAMMN YOU AMATEURS WHYYYYYYY
There was an interview with the shiftylook people and it seems like they knew it wasn’t going to work so they used their relative blankcheck to hire their favorite internet people to make cool things until 9 months later when namco realized making an office comedy with mappy or a serious drama with dig dug wasn’t gonna translate to sells for ??? Tales of Vesperia Tekken 6?
