I love how Toy Story 3 casually had one of the most iconic, beloved anime characters of all time cameo in the film with no plot relevance nor any attention given in the marketing.

Why I'm anti-social
People around me:
Me:
Ahh yes, my favourite Alvin album.
I feel that fans of both serious and comical Sonic can agree that Forces (and especially the way it tied into Mania) was a mistake.
I feel like a lot of people don't realise some people don't want to play as themselves in a game. Usually when I'm given custom character options I use it to create insane crossovers, not a digital homunculus of myself. Given the choice of male protagonist or female protagonist it all comes down to character design for me.
Cereal mascots be like
This is my ideal Mario Kart roster. Ignore the terrible editing.
Why yes, I did indeed make a conscious decision to remove all the clones then add "Warupichi" and "Mabowser".
I had a dream where I was in the same taxi as Sakurai, and for some reason he liked to rest his head (which had a giant hole) on my lap - but dream me didn't care in the slightest and was just thinking "I need to start a conversation that can seamlessly lead to me requesting Muddy Mole!"
Mini Muffins 4 really ruined the ending of Mini Muffins 3.
JESUS CHRIST. This is actually, legitimately disgusting. What is wrong with this guy?
People often tend to get racism mixed up with ignorance. I'm not black so I can't speak from experience, but it should go without saying that misidentifying a hairstyle isn't racist.
The original text: "This character was designed to appeal to a wide audience and as such is neither masculine nor feminine"
The translation: "This character doesn't have a gender."
I just found out that when Mark Speight (children's TV presenter) died, they played the theme song to his show, SMart, at the funeral. This is what said theme song sounds like:
I feel like a monster for laughing about this, but I really can't help it.
Can't believe it, they added Crash to Smash.
One thing people often question about the WarioWare franchise is why and how someone like Wario is friends with a bunch of literal children. I like to imagine that Wario stood up for them when they were being bullied by their peers - albeit using the threat of more bullying, this is Wario we're talking about after all - and that's how they met.
Can't think of an explanation for the blatant copyright and child labour law infringement going on at WarioWare Inc. though.
Sorry to get all political, but...
Odd question, but do you know of any way I could play Knuckles' Chaotix in 2020 without getting a Genesis and a 32X?
Super Nintendo World's power-up bands have a rather peculiar inclusion:
Daisy. I want to say that they chose Daisy because they're working on some sort of Daisy-related project, but it's more likely they just wanted a second female character and Daisy was chosen by means of being a character that casual fans would be more familiar with through seniority. (and possibly the fact that Rosalina's emblem isn't as much of an instant identifier as Daisy's)
12 year old me when the West Midlands-accented edgetuber says Undertale is a good game:
"I think Sonic Adventure is a bad game."
"You've just got nostalgia bias towards the classic games!"
"I was born after Adventure came out, let alone the classic games."
Creating "alliances" between characters' supporters is equally as stupid as rivalries.
Not everyone who wants Isaac also wants Waluigi, not everyone who wants Waluigi also wants Shadow, not everyone who wants Shadow also wants Tails, so on and so forth. All these "alliances" would serve to do is ostracise and silence fans of one character who oppose the other, harming both characters in the process.
A lot of the famous SNES OSTs lose their magic once you find out they were all just using default Casio instruments.
Have you ever noticed how you rarely see the homes of platformer mascots?
The Cartoon Network UK YouTube channel has "Funny" as a hashtag for each of their videos.
This includes BMO's fake-out death in Adventure Time: Distant Lands.
If you don't know the plot of Star Wars or universe rules of Lego movies (especially the latter) this image could come off as some Human Centipede level ****.
Ubisoft made the best Star Fox game since Command then just casually promoted it as side content for a toys to life game 2 years after the genre died
I literally lost hearing in one ear thanks to cheap headphones and all I'm thinking is "that's lousy I guess".
I tear up when I lose a game I barely play under the bed.
I'm a slave to consumerism.
Watching YouTube Poops with a blocked ear is so surreal - the bass-boosted jokes, instead of being too loud to hear, just sound normal.
One of my favourite tropes is when a comedy cartoon suddenly hits you with an emotional gut punch - usually happens in finales; feature length movies; or Christmas specials.
It's strangely comforting to think that these characters who are pretty much just there to make you laugh can also experience hardship and struggles off-screen. Shows that we're all human with weaknesses, even those of us who can survive having a car dropped on their head.
A capitalist learning that Nazi is short for "national socialist" is the exact same as a 7 year old hearing swear words for the first time.
Recently I posted a status about how the N. Sane Trilogy is better than 3D All-Stars.
I should note I was talking about the original games, not the remakes/rereleases.
Holy crap, Jessie learned PSI Fire.
CBeebies sent some mixed messages to young me.

I still believe quite strongly in target demographic theory.
I feel that the "if it's not fun, why bother?" mentality is demeaning to gaming as an art form.
One thing I hate in character design is the juxtaposition of overly beautiful/sexual female characters and goofy man-baby male characters. I can excuse it with Mario, but that's likely just because I'm used to it.
I don't think Among Us killed Fall Guys, but rather that Among Us saved Fall Guys. Trust me, you do NOT want your game to get overexposed.
3D All-Stars vs. N. Sane Trilogy is less "Virgin vs. Chad" and more "pug vs. gorilla"
I've had a vague memory of a SpongeBob episode where a character says "porn" in passing (and my parents' reaction to it) for a long time, I always assumed it to be a false memory, but nope: the memory has been validated. Kinda. The subtitles say it's "any port in this storm", but I'm not convinced. Also my memory involved Squidward, not Krabs.
