About 2 years ago around when the new Mario & Luigi game was coming out, I had a vision, and motivation to make a silly parody!! #lupiniii

Maybe that's always the case and I'm just having a brain fart also. PS. Love you all big time. ❤️

Loving the episode so far Mat! There's an uncensored you know what word in there that I thought I'd mention in case it matters? Carl's eye off the ball. Doesn't bother me because I'm a big boy.

We had a four seasons weekend here in Edinburgh. Sun, Rain, Snow, Hail, and back up to Sun and 17c again now. Mental.

Mate, this game is brilliant, and the soundtrack is *insane*. I cannot believe "The Keeper" and "Spine Keeper". Probably the best video game song/s I have heard in years. You really outdid yourself here - incredible work! ❤️👏

I got worried for a second there. 😅

I think that's the "normal person" approach mate. I was struggling to be "normal". 😂

It looks gorgeous, but this is why I dropped out of the Evercade ecosystem. I got the OG, then the EXP. After that, they announced the EXP-R, Hyper Pocket, VS-R, Alpha - I felt like I couldn't keep up. It's great the carts are cross-compatible, but it always felt like I was missing out somehow. 😅
