My beloved bf gifted me mario wonder for my bday and while this isn’t my first mario game bc I had the one on the ds-just sucked at it lol-im having a blast going through it since I always like playing other plaformers then my usual even if I’m always comfy with Mega Man. However, playing this along with other platformers made me realize mega man misses a common aspect in most platformers: collectibles tied to progression/general items to pick up in stages that aren’t upgrades.
Mega Man does have its fair share of items to pick up but almost always it’s a health or power upgrade. The general structure of Mega Man is less of jumping on enemies like others and more so being strong enough you can take down your enemies with your weapons, the usual challenge comes from fighting bosses without their weakness or tight platforming segments. Not to mention, the entire appeal of Mega Man’s structure is you can do bosses in any order, so having stuff like collecting a object for progression just to access the next stage or area would ruin that freedom. (Also in terms of if mega man would collect coins or rings or gems I’m not sure if that would fit either given he’s a robot… What would a robot collect unless it’s like stated it’s apart of his energy source or something? Or maybe screws? Even though that’s the currency in classic for just buying stuff)
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing since it gives mega man it’s own unique appeal and some people may not like other platformers compared to it-even if I say the challenge universally sticks so others are worth checking out, especially when in other games it’s waaaay easier to die despite how brutal mega man is with lives and Insta kill stuff-but it’s something I noticed when playing Mario and other platformers so I’m definitely gonna be rotating this for awhile.

@xfctes (from this)
"Callin' me a Fairy is a bit of a stretch there, woman,"
He never once claimed to view himself as such. After all, he'd been a PHANTOM for far longer than he'd been a Fairy. Didn't she realize that HIS element was the weakness of a fairy? Well, he supposed she COULDN'T know that if she didn't read fairy tales as a child. Which, he doubted she did.
"Is it? I bet ya ain't been with someone who actually knows how to get their fuckin' partner off. From what I gather, ya get yerself off and then fuck off. Sounds 'bout right."
From what he'd gathered, she was nothing more than a GREEDY lover, though referring to her as a LOVER was a bit of a stretch. Since that required her to feel the emotion. She was a greedy 'fuck'? Yeah, sounded better.
"Yer pretty full of yerself, guess the only people yer into are those who don't know what REAL dominance is. To be honest, I'm pretty sure if I fucked ya, I'd break yer ass in half."
He could probably destroy her confidence in her dominance with a few simple moves, actually. He'd not needed to teach someone their place for a while, but for some reason he wanted to SHOW her that she wasn't as dominant as she thought she was.

"i read the wiki and i saw the pages/panels already, why do i need to read the comics?"
because a) some those comics fuck with awing dexterity and stamina b) there's a good chance shit is out of context or simply misrepresented (innocently, humorously, ignorantly or maliciously) and c) you know the beats/endings of tons of shit, but it doesn't impede your enjoyment of it, now does it? sure it's nice to go in spoiler free, but if the gimmick of spoiling material is all a piece of media has, then that piece of media is meritless. you knew who luke skywalker's father was before you saw the movie. is it still worth watching? you knew romeo and juliet died before you read the play. is it still worth reading? do you not want to go on a journey? do you not want to feel something? do you not want to commiserate about the human experience through art? a wiki will never be comprehensive enough to cover everything you would have read or seen yourself--it can't be, not without being the thing itself. even then, you still miss the things not on the page/screen, the things that are only implied, the things that go unstated, or else conspicuously omitted. don't talk to me about shit haunting the narrative if the only haunting you've ever been apart of was your passing despite your dogshit analysis skills haunting the conscience of your eng 101 adjunct professor in perpetual fear of losing their contract and being relocated from their car to under a bridge by demanding college students demonstrate basic reading comprehension, critical thinking, and coherent argumentative skills. boast about killing the author? my friend, you are cain advancing in the fields, skulking, stepping in abel's footprints, filled with murderous intent, with nothing but the chinese telephone-equivalent of a description of a weapon cutting into your soft palms.

The idea that Mora is getting bored of the current universe and even other timelines has been rattling around my brain like a marble. That he's seen and knows too much of it to really be truly entertained anymore. This is the burden of seeing past, present, and future as well as other timelines all at once.
The idea that he's playing around with the idea of a reset, of something to 'recreate' the canvas from scratch to see if it weaves a different way. But doesn't want to be direct with this, lest this come to spell restriction or push back towards him. They keep testing the waters, playing the pawns on the chess board. Giving information twice removed that result in destruction, fostering hatred and aggression in the wrong (right) individuals so they lash out. Just continuously checking the pressure and cracks while keeping eyes off of him.
Sure, he hasn't reached his true goal of 'all knowing' yet, but he can lay claim to what exists before it is rewritten, thus resulting in a new farm of knowledge and memories. Never absent, never hungry. Because truthfully, if he had all knowledge what would it have left to get- to feast upon?
Just this concept.... its really eating away at me
