Like, we can quibble about merits of fidelity to the source material in principle, but in practice I have literally never encountered an "exactly the same thing except in a higher resolution" remake that actually added to my understanding of the material in any way. They just skate across the surface of my brain without leaving any lasting impression – I don't even remember them except for the bits that depart from the original, which kind of defeats the purpose of a faithful remake. I understand that there's a spectrum of fidelity in play here, but if my only choices are a beat-for-beat recapitulation and some egregious bait-and-switch meta bullshit? I'll take the second one every time.

Me, having never played SMRPG before the announcement of the remake: Puppet companion? Eh, not sure if Geno's my jam... Me, after learning he's actually a star borrowing a puppet body: Sold, okay nvm I'm in

Doodling a little while catching pieces of Nintendo Direct while at work. Is it November 17th yet, I'm curious to see what I missed out on for 25+ years

Double edged sword of inspiring my upcoming short campaign off in stars and time is that. I have to NOT TALK ABOUT THE GAME. Because that'd kinda spoil. What I'm doing.

Staying quiet abt the thing I'm crazy about. One of the guys noticed my pattern of loosely basing campaigns off games I like. This is the Odile cutscene. We know the one.

In other news I highly recommend doing campaigns where you just grab a handful of your favorite things and throw things you like about them together like a stew. You can make some good stew.

Thinking about when I told my roommate I hyperfixate on Mario a lot and he was like "I didn't even know you COULD hyperfixate on Mario until I met you" fkdnfnfndndndnfjfekef

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…

I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.

Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.

Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.

It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!
