The Good:

Vivian is canonically trans in every language

There is a partner wheel so you dont have to pause constantly like its Ocarina of Time Boots syndrome

The shortcut pipes are now labeled and there are two mini shortcuts to the steeple and pirate cave.

The game looks prettier and there's extended/remastered music that FUCKS.

There is now an official reward for filling out the badge and tattle logs, although it's just a skin but its not like theres much to reward you with if you've thoroughly beaten the game like that. At least its acknowledged now.

You can interact with objects and characters while on yoshi, no need to mount and dismount every other second.

You can use Goombella's field ability even when she's not out but this lowkey sucks for reasons i'll get to later

The Bad: Quite literally everything else.

Firstly i wanna clear up there's a lot of false advertised "Quality of life". Fuck purism but literally all the "QoL" changes are just removing challenge from the game which Nintnedo loves to do with their remasters, looking at you Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition.

More inventory slots: So you can stack even more life shrooms basically. Quality of Life would have been letting us send itmes we find in the field directly to storage, which you still cannot do.

Restarting failed boss battles: The game is very good about save points and specifically has back-to-back boss battles meant to test your preparation that now dont work like that.

No penalty for fleeing fights: Self explanatory, the game has a badge that lets you skip fights you're overleveled for already.

"New Content" there are literally 2 new fights in the post game. 2. That's it. And they both require grinding out a bunch of fights that were already in the base game,. FFS one of them literally requires you to do the pit of 100 trials TWICE. That's padding and a half.

"Balance changes" are just nonsense. Its very Nintendo brand where the game is objectively easier but it makes it much harder for you to play the game how YOU want and not how Nintendo intends, case in point the frame perfect nerfs to things like Power Bounce and Multibonk.

"we'll put in a concept art gallery showing all the idea we didnt have time to implement in the original 2004 release but no way are we gonna put in any effort and actually finish our vision and add that as new content to justify the remake"

NOW FOR THE STRAIGHT UP ACTUAL DOWNGRADES.

The framerate is halved

You cannot mash through dialogue anymore

the game explicitly has longer intro and ending battle animations

HAVE YOU NOTICED A TREND OF SHAMELESS PADDING YET???

Theres a useless yet detailed tutorial NPC who follows you around. How about using that time on new REAL content instead jackoffs?

The big one: Unfortunately the chuds were lowkey right about "censorship" and blah blah. Aside from Vivian, who deserves the world like the not-evil shadow queen she is, there are SO many changes to the dialogue and unlike Vivian they are not for the better. Pretty much all the edges have been sanded off, and I don't mean they removed offensive jokes I mean they've even done some truly petty shit that makes the story objectively worse. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was finding out they retconned the Shadow Queen's hidden lore to remove any possible nuance to her motivations. That's just one of a TON of examples of the dialogue having all its personality sucked out.

So have fun freely seeing all Goombella's sassy dialogue now that a good chunk of sass has been removed!

Also remember those improvements to Yoshi? Well his ability still sucks because now it has a windup rather than being an actually effective mobility tool because again this shit is padded as hell.

this is in no way a comprehensive list of either positive or negative changes but it should be enough to make clear I sure as shit know where I stand on whether or not this garbage is more worth it than just using the HD texture pack on dolphin.

Literally only a duo as incompetent as Nintendo + IntelligentSystems would manage to fuck up a rerelease of TTYD

da second madoka oc au ramble electric boogaloo. skuggy edition this time. idk what im doing

they r all little dudes. so he and buggy are like 14, and farrow is 15! i. do not know what skuggys little magicalgirl outfit would look like. i do want him n farrow to share matching infinity symbols so skugs can have that as a hair ribbon or a ribbon on his pants? instead of the traditional japanese schoolgirl uniform he has the buttoned-up male one, along with a big scarf around his neck that can act as a hood 😳 he’d probably have a gaiter as well that covers his nose and mouth??? idk the outfit ideas are a amagalmate that look awful combined so ill just piece them together in a doodle eventually. i do want him to look like an edgy little magical girl assassin tho lol

his wish was probably wishing for someones death lol. theoretically this could be farrow and it would be funny if at the same time farrow made his wish of “i dont want to die” but unfortunately kyubey cannot be two places at once. howeve r. theoretically . THEORETICALLY . but whatevs he is super bitter, if not his high school bully then he’d probably wish for the death of his dad LOL

his weapons r chainsaws why the fuck not. im giving him my old oc piper’s ability of dualwielding chainsaws bc hes been through enough shit i think he deserves it. he can either summon one big two-handed chainsaw or two single-hand-sized ones and just start ripping away. i guess his wish would give him some power but idk what itd be. maybe every time blood gets on his weapons it heals him? he can still feel pain and get exhausted but as long as theres blood on his blade he can keep going without being knocked out lol. idk. fuck ill think of a better one w time 💔 he is the one going thru the emo phase

his witch. is the moth witch. ok. so id love for it to be this fucker. cuz theme of death and his favorite insect. but unfortunately a bitch has got to be creative 🙄

so instead his labyrinth is probably a big gallery/collage maze of a pinned butterfly and moth collection. n his familiars are mini butterfly-headed guys that kinda look like the fucker pictured above but like theyre schoolgirls w 4 big eyes on each of their wings. they wield big nails of varying types (so like they range from actual entomology pins to, like, metal construction nails) and try to pin u for the collection. theres also probably giant flying centi/millipedes that offer u a ride but usually end up dropping u off in a place farther from the center than before, but let u see the maze from above for a brief while

its like a big hedgemaze made out of boards upon boards of dead butterflies! 😦 and when you do reach the middle skuggy’s witch busts from their cocoon and is this towering indecipherable mass of different insects mishmashed together in the vague shape of a human with kind of a big cape that act like wings (but it cant fly, just flutter to blow a gust). a bunch of moths kinda swarm around it and obscure its face, but out of its head protrude like. a fuckton of different blades. like some are swords, some are cooking knives, some are giant entomology pins or sewing needles n shit. when you stab it, more moths pour out instead of blood! so its like farrows personal nightmare

UMMM because i love gimmicks in bossfights. its holding up this big scale of justice weighing on its back that keep the swarming moths calmed and only swarmed around it, but when it lets go of one side of the scale to pull a weapon from its head and attack the scale tips and the moths begin swarming the attackers instead! however the scale tipping weighs on him and makes it harder for him to hit, so hes just clumsily swinging at you. if you manage to get the scales to tip in the opposite direction, he will still swing at u, but the moths will start trying to hurt him instead. so its kinda like, either keep this scale untipped as much as possible, or tip it in a way that favors you, or fuck, just cut off one arm so when he lets go of the other side to fight the scales just balance themselves out in ur favor. either way his weak spot is in his face which is usually obscured by the moths, you can climb the scales when they’re tipped to reach it! idk whats under the moths. maybe a fuckin knifeblock. who knows. definitely not a human face though

anyways, after that nightmare of a witch, you will probably never want to see an insect ever again. its a bit easy once u get the hang of how its scales work, but for someone scared of bugs its probably the worst thing in the world

how do you make a carrd

plagiarize /j

okay im a little haha confused why youd ask me this becuz i literally just. plagiarized other people and mushed them together to make my carrd but ill try explaining

youd need to have an account first thing, just go to carrd.co and register (for free accounts you get only three sites). from there theres a bunch of templates to make your carrd site that you can choose from off the bat, just replace the text and images how you want

if you want to start from scratch, its a little more complicated but just experiment with stuff. i joked about plagiarizing other people but i did literally just looked at carrds that i like, pick which things i like, and try to implement them in my own carrd

the very basic steps i used i guess?

register, make site

add page, add a background

put stuff in page (elements) like text and images etc

put some links to my socials

name the site and publish it

some terminology

page - this is the thing you put your stuff in, it can be a box like ive done with my carrd, or as default (which makes your page the whole background), tall box, or wide box. you can add borders and change the colors

elements - stuff you put in your page, like texts, images, gallery, buttons etc

container - its like a mini page inside a page, unlike pages, containers can be split into columns. you can put elements inside this, tho you cant put containers into containers

# control - is something that can break up your site so that it can be separate pages. it could break it up as separate pages that can only be seen with a link (flippingpancake.carrd.co/#comms have to be linked from the home page or else you cant see it), or just as a scrolling point (you can see it if you scroll manually, the link just jumps your view to the scroll point)

uhhhhh those r some of the things i mainly use, other people have probably better actual tutorials haha...

also makes sure its accessible, like making it easily readable and adding some alt text or image descriptions

when in doubt, simple is always a good option

I am very tired and also cold. But I'm in a very good mood.

I woke up today and decided I didn’t want to be away. So I slept another hour. I was still up and dressed and showered with a little breakfast by 10am. I got up to my studio and worked on some dioramas. I am still running out of boxes but worked on what I could. It was nice to just sit and work with just a loose timeline.

I biked over to main campus around 1130. First things first I went over to the student affairs office to drop off some receipts that I had for my Gallery 148 show and to catch up with Brett. I gave him a copy of my book as a thank you and talked about giving the library a copy for their archives. So I'm going to get on that tomorrow I think. Since it’s the last day of my show. After that I went and dropped off my coat in the office, said hey to Meagan, and headed up to get lunch.

I ran into Dana and asked if it was okay to nominate her for our graduation speaker and she said yes. She's a beautiful speaker/person so I think she’d be really good at it. I got my lunch and enjoyed a podcast. It was my free lunch so that was neat. Niky came up to get something and I was able to give her the rings I found for her. I hope she likes them.

Back to the shop to discuss with Don whats up for class. I sat with Meagan at the desk while Donw as busy and it was nice to talk to her. Love Meagan.  Then I found a bunch of great fabric on the free shelf I can use for carpets in my dioramas so I'm super pleased. And class was fun!

We started the day with show and tell and mostly we had videos and there was some really neat ones including a music video made stop motion style with jelly beans. I shared my stingray tooth and found out one of my students had been stung by a stingray once?? Amazing.

We had a long long demo today. But I had brought my jewelry wax and worked on a little project for myself. I helped where I could with the demo as well but Don didn’t really need me for much. he had a great system with a bronze at every step in the process ready to go. Martha Stewart style is what he called it. He also used the little foundry and cast a piece right there and it was really awesome to see. Its amazing to me that that’s a possibility because I have never once heard of such a thing. So I'm going to figure out how I could have one in my future studio with lots of mini versions of tools.

I had a great time working with my waxes. Its jewelry wax though so Don isn’t convinced its going to work because it tends to expand. But I'm excited to see what happens even if it doesn’t work exactly correctly. I made a tiny table and chairs, and a little bed with a blanket and pillows. Everyone was confused why it was pink because they are all used to the brown wax. But really its about the hardness of the wax. Pink is soft. I finished the house in about an hour. Because I am the speediest sculptor. Don seemed excited. I think my students liked to see a different approach to making. And their projects are really cool too! People are making molds and using the candy molds we already have but like morphing them. Its really amazing to see what they are coming up with. Theres a few people I'm slightly concerned about but I think they’ll pull it together.

I spent most of the day going back and forth from working on my thing in the wax booth with a few students. To the classroom and checking in there. We were using a torch to heat up our tools and one of my students burnt her finger and I felt terrible. She said she was fine and not upset but I was sick over it. Felt like it was my fault because it was my idea to use the torch. Ugh.

But it was still a good day. Everyone got a lot done. I made some rings again. At the end of the day me and a few students cleaned up the wax area and most people went home to enjoy the start of their spring break.

I hung out with Don a little later and met a guy who came in to talk to him who I think was a former teacher at MCAD but is unclear? Maybe a student. I have no idea. He was nice though.

I headed home after that. Biked to the studio to drop off the fabric I found. But I headed home right after that. Got my bike stuck in the door again. found out that maybe a boy moved across the hall? Unsure. I'm really ready to get to bed though. I have work in the morning. And then I hope to get groceries. I'm having a lot of trouble with my mouth the last few days. It doesn’t feel like my teeth are sitttng right and not connecting so eating has been hard. So I'm going to try to get some stuff that’s soft or something.

I hope you are all having a good night. Sleep well.
