The English dub of More than a Married Couple, but not Lovers is actually really really good LOL Usually some voices don't gel on certain characters on a dub for me but I feel like they really nailed it for this one.

Experimental post: The Duality of Whacka In the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Whacka can finally be fought, and has a suspiciously specific 108 HP. The game both offers a ridiculously simplistic explanation for this as well as a complex one steeped in Dharmic symbolism.

In Paper Mario, the original version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Super Paper Mario, Whacka was just a harmless whack-a-mole creature that could be abused to get Whacka Bumps, extremely valuable healing items. After being hit enough times, the Whacka goes extinct, teaching the players the consequences of their actions. However, in the Switch version of Paper Mario: TTYD, he instead moves to the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and becomes an optional superboss with 108 HP. He is fought at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and has to be hit 8 times in order for the fight to activate. but also The number 108 is considered sacred by the Dharmic religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Whacka symbolizes karma for killing him in past games ring the bell 108 times, per Japanese tradition? The ringing of the bell represents the 108 bonno-defilements of man.. Buddhism holds the view that there are precisely 108 temptations on the path to Nirvana. Therefore, in order to reach Nirvana, every Buddhist must resist 108 earthly temptations. With a combination of any of the elements of the above four factors, there are 108 ways with which the karmas can be attracted to the soul. the earthly temptation to get those Whacka Bumps There are 108 qualities of praiseworthy souls Some people think that the human spirit travels through 108 stages, while others believe that enlightenment is attainable with just 108 breaths each day while in Intense meditation, 108 beads to awaken your inner light Meditators count mantra repetitions with mala beads of 108, (100 counted for self, 8 for mistakes and for those who have not the opportunity to meditate in mantra) 108 breaths to return to your truth 108 mantras to dissolve ego into dever 108 steps from the self to the soul The Sacred Meaning of 108 Temple Steps the journey to Whacka is a journey of enlightenment

The Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door includes its own fictional language that is a cipher for English. Amusingly, the misspelled "Game Cuve" graffiti from the original version is translated into the new language... but still reads "Game Cuve" when deciphered.

The Nintendo Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door contains an in-universe language used for signs and labels that is a cipher (i.e. a one-to-one symbol conversion) for English. Textures that were in English or unreadable in the original (left) are translated into the cipher in the remake (right). The remake's poster reads "Wanted" and the signboard reads "Signboard". A famously misspelled "Game Cuve" graffiti appears in Rogueport in the original. In the remake, it can be seen through this arch from the back. Analyzing it reveals that it is still misspelled! The designers deliberately kept the misspelling in the translation. Here is the key to the cipher used.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door inadvertently depicts Peach as the quickest typist in the world. She is able to type up a 126-word email in exactly 3 seconds, making her 8 times faster than the current typing speed world record.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Peach sends multiple emails to Mario during the plot. Almost all of them take her exactly 3 seconds to type. The length of the emails she types in 3 seconds varies from 54 words to the longest one seen below, at 126 words. Peach: I'm OK My Dearest Mario, I send this letter in the hope that it reaches you safely. I am being held against my will in some strange place. Though I do not know where I am, I remain unharmed and in relative comfort. Those who have captured me seem to be after the map I sent to you earlier. They may be hoping to use it to find objects they call the "Crystal Stars." I do not know what they are planning, but I have a feeling it is not anything positive. Mario, please collect these Crystal Stars before they do. You must! They are already aware that you have the map, so please be very careful. And please... Don't worry about me. -Princess Peach- At the current world record typing speed of 319 words per minute, Peach should have been able to get about this far into the email. In order to finish the email in three seconds, she needed to type with an a speed of 2520 words per minute, 7.9 times the world record. While the quick typing is clearly merely a way to make the scene move along more quickly and should not be taken as accurate depiction of Peach's typing skills, it is still humorous to imagine the implications arising from it if taken at face value.

There is no more bitter a feeling than losing a close game due to a mistake you made that you could have avoided LOL I'm being aggressive and putting myself in situations where the mistakes can be made because I'm still learning, but man those losses still sting. (context, Rivals of Aether 2)

Beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Great game with some odd issues (audio mixing was so whack in cutscenes sometimes LOL). If Fortune’s Weave hadn’t just dropped I’d be playing thru the DLC, but it’s finally FE TIME BABYYYY!

(pls ignore the replay hud I forgot to remove it!) I've been dabbling in Rivals of Aether 2 since Gouie came out and got a combo/conversion yesterday that I'm really happy with execution-wise, because 2 weeks ago I could not do this at all LOL Having a lot of fun with this character :)
