Oh, I feel that in my bones. I read all those manuals till all the pages came undone and absolutely still have to course-correct my brain about the Koopalings.

Maybe We Don’t Need to Call Birdo β€˜Birdetta’ β€” Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games Since Super Mario Bros. 2, Birdo has come to own her original name.

Gonna share this very good bit of writing by @drewgmackie.bsky.social (the whole website is great), who tends to agree that she’s telling us what to call her in later games and we don’t have to take the word of some dumb instruction manual from the ’80s that got her name double wrong anyway.

🧡Last night, I pulled out the iPad to work on some waxpack drawings for the first time in a week, and I was reminded of my last artistic hyperfixation, cassette tapes. Here are some of my favorites from about a year ago:

The sphere towers in the background always made the level feel massive to me, so I wanted to play up the sense of scale in this setting.

I then wondered, what if Bomb Man was threatening to topple one of these towers from the inside? [1/2]

What are the odds that someone wrote down a playlist on a napkin, meant the Ataris, and some doofus didn’t pick up on it?

Randomly remembered this commercial from 1989 of teenagers telling dumb jokes about the McChicken sandwich and oh no it’s that little Power Glove jerk here to ruin it forever.

On an old Wayne’s World sketch on Saturday Night Live, Wayne and Garth hold up a big board of their top 10 hottest women.

It looks like the tariff chart.
