One of the most heart-wrenching things that've ever happened to me occurred while trying to research the Super Paper Mario art style.
"Ohh what a beautiful and interesting art style! It is very distinctive! I wonder if anyone else has tried or wanted to try breaking it down and replicating it?" Obliviously, I typed in Super Paper Mario Art Style into my search bar... only to find many people calling it ugly and saying they hate it.
This simply could not be... permanent damage was done to my artistic soul.
No joy? No whimsy in this world? No love of early computer graphics? Of the art that was born from the computer and is difficult to replicate without one? Of the art made when this was something new and fascinating? No love for something unique?
Super Paper Mario don't listen to all those haters I love your geometric art style influenced by what shapes are easily drawn on a computer and the smooth mechanical interpolation within your animations. I love you. Also the music is banger.
One of my favorite things is the "Mean Character, Nice Actor" phenomenon. It's always so funny watching a complete monster onscreen but then finding out that they were played by a golden retriever of a human being.
Playing gg x but they fucked up anji's win animation sound effects so when he turns into butterflies an explosion sound effect plays so fucking loud and i don't know why
EDIT: i'm cryyiiing is this how it's supposed to sound???
Anji experts is it normal for him to be doing this???
erm I just wanna talk about how I know in my heart that gale is actually really funny and if the events of the game weren't so life and death, especially for him, we would've been able to see his funny side far more than we currently do and honestly I feel robbed
