It’s my birthday and my wife got me the coolest possible gift: a Switch 2 dock that looks like Donkey Kong’s stage from the original Super Smash Bros complete with little replica of DK64, really the perfect gift to make you go OHHHH BANANA

Whipped up one of those 9 Games that Shaped Who I Am lists; fun to think about games that led to friendships and communities as opposed to just a normal "these are my favorite games" list, although it still hurt to only include two Donkey Kong games on here

A little over a year since Freaky Kong Begins, he is graced with a second Candy effigy for his treehouse (feat. New Funky Mode)

Okay DK I get this is your first time seeing Candy Kong in like twenty years but you need to show a little decorum dude

The WarioWare: Move It! Top Tracks playlist features the "Ba-KAW Rap" in every language which is just such a fantastic bit on the part of the Nintendo Music team, well done to all involved.

“On one adventure we met Conker, a squirrel that PEES on things! He later helped me overthrow a magic pig man from space, and he later became king when a Nazi weasel’s coup attempt went awry. You ever watch the ‘Alien’ films? It was exactly like that. Once again, I’m Diddy Kong.”

Almost two years ago I made my custom Runeterra Garen constellation, and while I was off on a lot of stuff, very happy to see that the real thing also includes a version of “Garen silences the thing he’s striking” - always felt like a very thematic approach for Garen and I’m glad the devs agreed!

A constellation update for Garen! I made a concerted effort to make Garen more unique and differentiate him from some of the other Demacian/midrange champions, especially the ones who just get Overwhelm for their 4th star power. Also his OG deck had a couple death synergy cards so I swapped em out!

Four down for the year so far, and pretty dang happy with those four

Whipped up a little Nintendo Music Predictions and/or Wishlist for the rest of the year. It's hard to really "predict" what they'll put on there considering how random some of their choices tend to be but if at the end of the year even half this list is on the app I'll be a very happy camper.

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

The Adult Swim 25th anniversary special was mostly "eh" with some really strange character choices/omissions and some REALLY unfunny jokes but they absolutely nailed the 21/24 scene so I can't be that upset.

For the most part the music in Radiance Layer is just “fine”, it’s a little too lowkey and environmental for my tastes, but I favorited this song anyway because I can’t believe Donkey Kong Bananza has an area called Window Viper in it.

A health bar being a post-game optional unlock that doesn’t actually do anything because you can never drop below one health is one of the funniest things Nintendo has done in a long time.

Some truly inspired screenshots for this drop.
