I’ve finally finished creating my Super World in Mario Maker 2 and have unofficially named it Super Mario Bros 5. I’ve been working towards this moment since 2015, trying to create a classic Mario game that plays as if Nintendo created it themselves.

Then I discovered this magazine that contained 20 pages of SMB2 and also guides for the second quest of Zelda, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I’m still baffled how I found this. I asked my dad what this was and he was like, “oh yeah, that came in the mail for you.” (2/2)

True story how I discovered Nintendo Power. I was on vacation with my mom when it arrived, my dad threw it on his desk, it got buried beneath tons of paperwork. One day after dying in Zelda second quest, I went looking through my dad’s desk for no reason. (1/2)

How I found my first copy of Nintendo Power. When it arrived, I was on vacation with my mom, dad got it and threw it on his desk, buried beneath tons of paperwork. One day after dying in the second quest of Zelda, I decided to go through my dad’s paperwork for no reason.

This gives me a little more hope for a Super Mario Maker 2 Switch 2 Edition with mouse controls… but not much.

This yellow dude popped up and helped me out. Either he’s some new character and this is his introduction or I already rescued him while I was half asleep and don’t remember. Either way, really cool guy. I approve. 😂 #Silksong

Here’s the first themed Switch 2 Pro controller and the design is, well… terrible honestly. The buttons and control sticks get in the way of the article, can’t even read anything.

I got the biggest smile on my face rn. They all settled down and built their own little settlement. I’m so proud of my little ones. 😭 #Silksong

This QTE caught me off guard. Wasn’t expecting that. #Silksong

Spent all day lost in The Mist. #Silksong

One of the greatest video game tracks of all-time.

Pretty excited that Super Blood Hockey is getting a sequel. I loved the original, played over 5 seasons in the franchise mode and won 4 championships. Highly recommend. If you’re interested in the sequel, sign up for a playtest here:

Pickled Muckmaggot acquired! I now have 4 out of the 5 ingredients for The Great Taste of Pharloom quest. Looks like it’s Courier’s Rasher time!

The Sands of Karak are incredible. #Silksong

Wait…. it was Trump all along? Dafuq.

The moment I turned off the game. Fuck this league.

Had a tough day playing ball hockey today. Lost big time to my former team. Maybe fighting a Silksong boss isn’t what I need at the moment. Oh well.

Just one more mask piece to increase my health and goddammit I need it. #Silksong

PS5 is an Xbox. Microsoft’s mascot is going cross platform, pretty wild. Time to replay Silent Cartographer all over again.

Using my commemorative NYR ticket as a bookmark.

This Courier’s Rasher quest seems impossible but now I have the Silkspeed Anklets, along with some Flea Brew. Gonna kill all the enemies on the route beforehand and give it a shot. Now which way should I go, through Shellwood or Greymoor? #Silksong
