The selfish part of me wants Zion to stay at NL forever - he has brightened every single day, and is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met! I just know that he’s going to smash what comes next, and I’ll be so very proud watching him do so!! Go kill it, dude, I miss you already 🫶
Zion Grassl@ziondood.bsky.social · 11mo agoAfter nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨ I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥

Zion Grassl@ziondood.bsky.social · 12mo agoBack in 2022, I bought as many copies of Mario Paint as I could get my paws on 😅Not because I thought they’d become rare or pricey, but for the original artwork that may be lying dormant inside each and every one 🎨 Three years later and that mission is complete 🍄 youtu.be/aHuQZVtzdIo 🍄 #MarioPaint
