[da-mous]

enjoying smb wonder but I have so many tiny nitpicks? they don't kill the game by any means but like

-only one run button, so you can't hold one and press the other to swing the elephant trunk and shoot fireballs and such without losing speed. I was literally drafting a devblog post praising the ability to do that in Mario Maker a few days ago dhgdhdgd. I get that X is the emote button but damn

-just pressing jump while airborne and touching a wall isn't enough to perform a wall jump. you have to push into the wall to enter the wallslide state first. I don't remember if this is the case in other Marios, or maybe Celeste has just spoiled me, but it's tripped me up a few times and seems unnecessary!

-the spin jump makes no sense cause like. no matter how long you press the button it's always the same height as a full normal jump. I guess this is because it can be motion controlled? I keep pressing ZR trying to get a low jump like in Mario Maker but I get the opposite instead. beyond that it also just generally seems to have next to no utility unless you really wanna do an entire full height jump to kill a koopa without getting the shell for some reason

-no triple jump? I mean I guess a thing similar to it is a badge now but. why. they coulda done a cute rising pitch thing with the jump sfx. maybe even a full chord on the final jump. woulda sounded so nice!

-speaking of which, the spin double jump badge is best badge easy (why even use half the badges that give extra height through other means when this one does it best), but it also misses the opportunity to do a rising pitch thing with the jump sfx. idk maybe they tried it and it sounded annoying or something. just weird for the first jump to make a musical sound and the second to do something different entirely

-the emote and item reserve buttons (X and A) do nothing if pressed while the run button is held. why??

-R and ZR both spin jump. Nice. ZL ground pounds and crouches. ok nice. L does... I think it does nothing at all? why? maybe I'm missing something?

-feels like the same few music tracks get reused a lot

-there's like one level with climbable poles, and you can jump off of them as expected, but pressing spin jump does nothing. "why would you ever want to do that?? why do you care about this cass??" because uhhhhhhhhh

-I love the concept of the vine grapple badge but it feels slow and jankass to use

-I always try to let go of dash panels or drop out from ceilings I'm drilling into by releasing the jump button, but you actually have to press jump. pressing jump to go down is really counterintuitive!!

-however, pressing jump does not drop you down when hanging from a horizontal pole (a mechanic in a level or two). to do that you have to press down... and then hold it for a short time..? why can't I drop down right away? "cass it's like one level???" ok yeah but you can't spin jump out of a hang either!!! what about that!!!

-ok lastly I don't get the point of elephant mario. being big isn't really an interesting ability and the melee attack is nothing new. the water spraying doesn't add much either because even if the stage you're in does happen to have water it's not a particularly good projectile. it's mainly only useful to water withered plant dudes. a key for a lock

......anyways hdgdhsgdgs game good I'm just surprised at how many tiny things feel off. maybe this is just what happens when the small details on a game are your whole job for several months lol

[useless19]

Early on when writing Days, I had a thought towards Luigi bringing up the idea that being a child soldier probably wasn't doing Junior's development any favours. However, when I tried to figure out how it would come up, I realised that Luigi was a child soldier (at least some elements of Partners In Time exist in Days, along with various Yoshi games) and never really stopped being a hero, so he probably wouldn't think it was all that unusual. And Bowser doesn't act hugely different compared to when he was a kid, so he's not going to see a problem either.

And that's kinda interesting. If I wanted to delve into this idea I'd have to step away from how I normally write SMB stuff (ie all games have simultaneously happened and not happened, so I can pick the bits I want for my fic soup and still have the general history without worrying about exact time frames - which, let's be honest, is still way more continuity than Nintendo has ever given the games).

Movie'verse would be an obvious way forward, since Mario and Luigi are coming to the whole hero business as adults with younger cousins and they could reasonably be expected to raise objections to kids being on the battlefield (movie!Peach was implied to be training from a young age as part of becoming princess, so she's not going to see it as wrong). However, the idea of movie!Bowser having a kid doesn't fit with the desperate loneliness that was pretty integral to his character.

I'm sure there's a way to do it though! I just need to figure out what it is and how it'd fit into a larger story.

#bowser #smb #bowser jr #days #(kinda) #maybe movie fic with a koopalings focus could fit? #rather than junior #give bowser a bit of emotional distance by not having him have raised them #(i have separate thoughts about how junior could show up in movie'verse and it's not this) #i don't know if would involve bowuigi #but luigi's perspective could be an interesting one #when someone is terrified but also feels strongly enough to overcome that to make their point

@silenzahra Do you have any idea how much your comments touched me? When I was winding down, I was so surprised to find more comments in my Ao3 inbox when I was browsing for more SMB stories to read. You NEVER fail to give such detailed feedback by pointing out which details endeared you and giving me such praise and adulation which at times I need to pinch myself how my stories touched you and others who took time and care into read and provide comments…being called one of your favourite writers on Tumblr and Ao3 truly made me tear up and my heart pound with warmth…am I truly worthy of that title? There are surely others waaay better and more skilled than I am?! You are just so sweet and kind, my dear.

I have probably said it over and over again but I feel that it’s appropriate and well deserved: You are a wonderful writer and your writing and research skills truly astound me. I’m still coming back to your musicians and Luigi’s passion for books lore posts and they are some of the best I ever read and give me connection to these boys we adore. Your stories are amazing whether they’re complete or WIP. And the fact you took the time to translate them for us to read, I still can’t get over your dedication.

You may have recalled how I was so physically and mentally exhausted in yesterday’s post. And you and also many others like @keakruiser @itsavee4117 @peaches2217 @pepperycar @sourour-rl have been so kind to me and telling me to take it easy. It really makes me see how valued and loved I am in this community…so thank you to all my dears…

I am feeling a bit better and have managed to actually finish a drawing I wanted to do, play a game, sneak in a long deserved nap and revel in my husband’s and son’s loving affections…

I can’t thank you and our mutuals over and over again for finding my place of belonging here and all of your support and love to my stories and art. May we prosper and continue to love the SMB fandom, my dear.

AW, dear friend, finding this message in my inbox has filled my heart with so much joy! 💖💖💖 As I told you on AO3, you deserve all the praise and support in the world, as your writing style is definitely one of the sweetest, most detailed and touching I've ever read 🥹🥹🥹 You always move me to the core with your words and how you portray the characters' relationships, be it a romantic one or the brotherly bond between Mario and Luigi. So yes, of course you're one of my favorite writers!!! You ARE more than worthy of that title, dear friend 🫂🫂🫂💖💖💖

And oh my God, you're making me blush 😭😭😭 I feel so honored!!! I couldn't be happier to know that you've enjoyed my headcanon posts so much as to continue reading them from time to time, that's seriously one of the highest compliments I've ever received 😭😭😭😭😭 And again, thank you so much for appreciating the fact that I translate my stories so I can share them with you all 🥹🥹🥹 You make me feel so validated!!! 🫂🫂🫂💖💖💖

Also, I have to say I needed to hear that you also love my stories, as I've been feeling a bit insecure about them as of lately. Sometimes I feel like my writing could be much better, as some of my fics end up not getting the feedback that I expected them to 😅 I'm obviously thankful for you and our common friends as you never fail to show me that you love my stories and want to read more of me, and it makes me feel so touched 😭😭😭

But yes, this is something I've been struggling with as of lately, and it's stopped me a bit from trying to write fanfiction again, but I just have so many stories I wanna write! And knowing that you and the others will be there to read them is motivation enough to keep going 🥰🥰🥰 So thank you, dear friend, because you just can't imagine how much your words have helped me 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

I'm so happy to know you're feeling better and doing activities that you enjoy! You can always count on all of us to support you, and we were obviously not exaggerating when we said we loved you first for who you are 🥰🥰🥰 I'm also so happy that you have your husband and your son by your side to show you how important and special you are! Just like the rest of us will never stop doing, dear friend 💖💖💖

And of course! May we prosper and continue to love this amazing and wholesome fandom! I love you soooo much, my dear friend! Thank you again for such a beautiful and loving message 🥹🫂💖 My heart feels so warm right now!!! 💖💖💖

#what a lovely surprise! #you're seriously amazing! #we love you soooo much! 💖 #thank you for this! 💖 #asks #asks answered #vulpixfairy1985 #silenzahra

[smashy-headcanons]

So I watched the Super Mario Movie finally

(Actually I watched it on and off with some friends but wanted to wait until I saw the full thing until I said anything. Also at the time of posting it's actually been like a month and a half oops.)

This does mean that I'll be allowing posts about it (I will make sure to tag spoilers tho).

Many excitements, many concerns, all questions finally answered (for now). Of course, I have many thoughts. Sooo, dump time!

I consider the movieverse to be an AU rather than directly tying to the game universe. Yoshi's Island supports the idea of Mario and Luigi being born in the Mushroom Kingdom (or that universe, anyways) while the movie has them living in a more realistic setting.

As we expected, Jack Black as Bowser? 👌

I originally thought that there would be multiple power stars instead of just the one, and that Bowser would be going kingdom to kingdom to collect them. I feel like it wasn’t given as much importance as it probably should have gotten.

SMB Super Show theme makes a return! They’re really pulling stuff from everywhere.

Just so I don’t sound like a broken record I’ll only say it once. The role for Mario should’ve gone to Charles Martinet. Pratt wasn’t grating but it really did just sound like Just Some Guy the whole time. I get Mario is our isekai protagonist but come on.

Following up on that thought: Good fucking lord the “do you think the accents were a bit much” line pissed me off SO much. Poking fun at your franchise is one thing, but announcing the first movie for the franchise in 30 years, giving the titular character’s voice cast to a guy who sounds nothing like him for the sake of Big Name Actor instead of to his original voice actor, telling people upset at the choice to essentially shut the fuck up, and THEN proceeding to joke about the— Jesus Christ I can’t type this anymore. On to the rest of the review.

Ohhh my god the Bros.' relationship is SO good in this movie. Luigi's adoration of his bro, Mario's adoration but also embarrassment at Luigi bringing up their mom, Mario IMMEDIATELY getting ready to throw hands for Luigi's honor, their MUTUAL protectiveness towards each other, it's all just *chef's kiss*.

When they announced Spike as a character I didn't think it was going to be Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew (good reference tho) I thought Spike was going to be this thing

As unexpected as it came to me, I actually really liked them making Mario the underdog of the family. It adds motive to Mario's eagerness to be Helpful and gives him a good reason to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom at the end. I can also see this attitude shifting to Luigi in the sequel.

Pauline cameo hell yeah.

I actually like Toad in this movie--both his voice AND his role.

I love that they made the Dry Bones so... eerie. I would've liked to see some sentience from them (at least in a later scene), but I can understand that doing so would likely take away from the eeriness.

If you wanna see Mario being a pathetic wet paper towel then you will enjoy this movie.

I have... mixed feelings about this version of Peach. On one hand, I love that she's taking a more proactive role and that we get to see her as both a ruler and protector of the Toads. On the other hand, I'm. not particularly fond of how she treats Mario in the first half. Peach as a character has been defined by amicability and kindness towards both new and familiar people from the beginning, so her initial rudeness doesn't feel very "Peach", if that makes sense. It makes sense that she'd assume Mario to be an enemy, but after that point it stops feeling in-character.

The more serious tone they gave with Bowser was also something to wrap my brain around. Over the course of the games Bowser's been gradually "declawed" as a villain, so I love that they really put emphasis on his cruelty.

I'm surprised they actually touched on Peach's origins, if only briefly.

I love Donkey Kong's portrayal in this movie. A lot of games don't give him much personality beyond "monkey lol" so I love that they took his other personality traits and expanded on those.

Cranky Kong running a kingdom wasn't the role I expected, but it is a fun take that I like.

Wrinkly Kong isn't dead lol

Diddy Kong having to be told to be quiet was a fun touch.

Funky Kong cameo improves my opinion on the movie. However he is hard to get a look at and doesn't have speaking lines, so that score must sadly be reduced a little.

One of the few allusions to Bowser and King Boo's alliance we get. King Boo didn't stick around to help during the fight, but he did make it to the wedding so that was cool.

RIP to King Bob-omb. Poor dude didn't deserve what happened to him 😔

Peaches (the song) was funny but not what it was hyped up to be.

Sequel with Yoshi hinted after the credits 👀

No Bowser Jr. or Koopalings despite everything. I'm wondering if they'll put him in the sequel.

Uhhhh I'm not sure what else I can remember, but this is long enough as it is. I had some nitpicks with it but I did like it despite my complaints.

Assorted Mario Movie thoughts within

um, I think I was the most peppy watching the film's first act, like, before the heroes get isekai'd? After that point, things became a little more predictable, and also it feels like the story goes by faster. You expect a flick like this to have more sense of adventure, but it really isn't as setpiece-fueled as its contemporaries... All of the obligatory journeying is crammed into one breezy montage. Meanwhile, I saw nothing predictable about the beginning of the picture. Mario & Luigi are given the character and background that Nintendo was too scared to. Their world was painted with references wide enough to feel like Wreck-It Ralph lite, and subtle enough for small delights to slip past an audience primed to call out any allusions they spot, allowing me to savor them more. Its comedy and action scenes were on point too. Watching the bros. get attacked by a dog was the most Illumination part of the movie, and comparable to the live-action segs of the SMB Super Show that made me glad I grew up with the sequel cartoons instead, yet here, it's a great thing?

The obvious benefit of day one-ing a work is witnessing something you would never expect, before anyone can allude to it online. TSMBM didn't quite have one of those moments for me? Everything about the plot is pretty straightforward and also outlined in the trailers (even though I passed on the final one). The third act could have been more mind blowing mileage will vary. The epilogue is weirdly noncommitted. And the stinger isn't exactly going to have people wailing like Sonic.

This was the first time in my life I actively chose to see a movie in theaters. But on the ride home, I had to consider that between my brother and my dad, I was the least blown away one. Geez, it sounds like I disliked this

Mario Bros. Movie's most consistent quality is that it devotes itself to depicting the games we love with its brush. It's not very revolutionary a film, like I said, but you can tell that the originality was sacrificed for the noble sake of rendering Biddybug from Mario 3D Land in 4KHD. This is basically the world's biggest budget Mario fananim. I haven't felt this immersed in a world since Odyssey.

17 31 & 33 for film questions! 💖💖

film questions

31. 3 movies you’re expecting excitedly!

idk if excitedly is the right word! i feel like i never really pay tooooo much attn to what movies are coming out (and i'm playing an endless game of catch-up on pop culture) But i saw the trailer for smb watching one piece and. well. i'll watch it! idk what i'm gonna do abt crisp rat's voice tho.

i rmr everyone was talking abt brendan fraser's return w the whale and it looks interesting enough.

last one is not rly a "movie" movie... but when i looked up upcoming shows on fandango i saw, in select theaters, they're releasing a recorded performance of the magic flute! which. i do wanna see. c:

33. favorite musical

ok i Have seen. an awful lot of musicals. technically i prefer to see em live if i can, but some made-for-the-movie house musicals that are. p timeless imo are the wizard of oz and willy wonka ig.

[grayblacklight]

Something vaguely resembling a masterpost

I know, I can't believe it either, but it's finally in the Team Flashdark budget! How was our budget so low that we couldn't put up a proper masterpost? Sorry, but I swore not to talk about the potato incident.

Anyway, I am Gray Blacklight (he/him), certified non-supervillain and leader of the amazing, totally-not-a-criminal-organization Team Flashdark! Allow me to tell you a bit about myself and what to expect from my blog;

While I don't watch a lot of TV shows or movies, I do enjoy a lot of them. Even with a lot of the ones I don't like, I try to and often can understand why others do, which is something that I'm quite glad I can do - I love hearing people gush over things they love even if I don't care for the same thing. While I myself don't really like most DreamWorks movies, that doesn't mean I can't appreciate how great MegaMind is.

Of course, when I do enjoy a show or movies, I often adore them (Epithet Erased is one of the greatest things ever created and you should watch it). I am patently waiting for Gwain Saga 009 and find myself rewatching Spaceballs several times a year.

That said, what I really love are good video games, heck I kinda collect them.

I am a huge fan of pokémon, especially James, though the switch entries have really made me lose faith in new games. I can't really choose a favorite Pokemon, but I'm a sucker for cute things and am one of the few people who don't consider the babies a waste of data- hell, it was Pichu in Melee giving me a cuteness overload that got me to pick up pokemon X and give it a shot.

I really enjoy a lot of Nintendo games in general, with a particular fascination with retro games and how they do so much with so little. Many of my favorite games are for the DS, but I don't think newer or older games are necessarily better, with Splatoon and Deltarune being all-time favorites of mine, and having put way to much time into 30XX for a game that doesn't exist yet.

Still, with games like Mario kart DS, pokémon gens 4+5, Kirby super star ultra, earthbound, paper Mario the thousand year door, Mario and Luigi superstar saga, sonic 3 and knuckles, shantae, megaman zero 3, super Mario 64 DS, plants vs zombies 1, and so many more, I pity anyone who looked at specs of the latest consoles and assumed that there's no reason to look back.

I also love fan games and rom hacks of many kinds, (I wish I was better at getting them to work) and genuinely believe that the lack of support and respect creators and artists get is terrible. If I mention something that you haven't heard of, I hope you take a look, and always remember that artists are people with needs and wants- they need breaks and money and fun and health and sleep and food, and I hate that so many people choose to ignore that.

Anyway, aside from the reblogging, ranting, and shitposting I do on my main, I have some sideblogs that I make for fun:

The Epithet Erased GunSafety!!!!AU ( @epitheterasedgunsafetyau )(the extra exclamation points are to emphasize how important gun safety is) where I put my headcanons about my favorite show of all time and occasionally describe what things would be like if Molly was a gun safety enthusiast (and by extension the most powerful character in the show).

Hacker's Jpeg reviews ( @hackerjpegreviews ), on the other hand, is a Collab I do with Hacker Deltarune where you can submit your strongest Jpegs and we'll comment on them and give a rating using the same scoring system as Calvinball. I'm also going to make a poll tournament to determine the true strongest jpeg, whenever I get enough entries- I'm always taking submissions!

There's also SMB Super Showdown (@smb-super-showdown ), where I post intentionally stupid playground 'who would win' polls to quench the insatiable thirst for violence that I don't have because I am not evil, and to help the winners achieve GLOOORY!

And then there's The Rollinka Agenda (@therollinkaagenda ), which is just a normal ship-dedicated blog and definitely not an evil scheme to make Roll x Kalinka canon.

I also may record myself playing a game on YouTube, just for fun. I don't do it often and wish I did it more, but I rarely have the time these days, and my computer is fighting me every step of the way whenever I try to do something new with it- heck, sometimes it won't let me do things that I've done before.

Still, I hope some of y'all get a chuckle or two out of my stuff, It would make all this typing that I suck at worth it <3

(P.S. Before interacting, please know that if you are: anti LGBTQ+, racist, sexist, Zionist, anti abortion, against gun control, a map/proshitter/whatever the fuck pedophiles are calling themselves these days, or support the American government, I hope you lose a card game and get sent directly to super hell.)

tonight by westlife // c. oftana

entry #53

calvin hasn't been in the best of moods lately, and it's hurting eve

calvin had been in a bad mood for days. eve tried his best to cheer him up but to no avail. after another game loss, she tried her best to lift his spirits up once more. but he had snapped at her. it hurt and she asked why he had to lash out on her.

“i’m trying my best to give you all you need and you still don’t appreciate it,” she murmured.

“there’s nothing to appreciate, eve. i know what you’re doing but i’m sorry it’s not working. we’ve been losing for weeks. we’re on the brink of not even going eighth place. and if we do, we’ll be facing your beloved san miguel.”

she blinked her tears away. “i’m just…trying to help.”

“well you’re not.” he shook his head and exhaled. “look. let’s just go to sleep. i still have early training.”

she nodded. “okay. i’ll see you there.”

he shook his head once again and headed inside the room.

but instead of following, eve went to the kitchen and took out her favorite ice cream. she was not in any mood to think, she just ate. she had half-expected for calvin to call her but the other half, the one that expected him not to even bother checking up on her, prevailed.

there was another game a few days later and eve was contemplating whether she should go or not. but she promised him that she was going to go to all his games unless anything important came up. she did not want to lie and maybe this would make him feel a little better if she went. ‘i doubt it but it’s worth a shot.’

she was seated in her usual, right behind the bench of tnt. when she saw him come out of the locker room, she smiled at him but his head was bowed down. she swallowed and nodded her head. she wished sage was with her but she had an exam and eve did not want to take her away from something so important just for something like this.

“good luck,” she whispered.

she watched as tnt scrambled to get another win against blackwater. they were doing well but blackwater was also trying to catch up. at the end of the game, tnt finally won and eve applauded. she tried her best to find calvin but she remembered that he was bpg. she decided to wait for him outside of the arena.

he finally came out and she caught up with him. he was with some of his teammates and she knew they were going to celebrate. she just wanted him to know that she was happy for them. “hey.”

calvin smiled. “hey.”

“congtratulations.”

“thanks. we’re heading out to celebrate. join us?”

she knew he was just being nice. there was a tone in his voice that made her want to cry again. “no,” she said, shaking her head. “you guys have fun.”

the team bid her goodbye, as did calvin. she watched them go and she grab-ed home.

tnt had began to win all their games again. the two of them were back to normal. they reached the fourth place and had to win against nlex. luckily, they won all the games and they reached the finals. however, it was them against smb. calvin had began to become cold towards her once again.

“what’s wrong?” she finally asked.

“it’s nothing,” he replied, not turning to face her. “i’ve got training in a bit. i’ll see you later.”

as he reached the door, she called out, “i love you.”

“you, too.”

eve closed her eyes and shook her head.

during the games, eve decided to not attend even one. calvin did not even bother to ask why. he simply said, “okay”. she was also making sure that she stayed away from him as much as possible.

the day of game 7 arrived and eve contemplated whether she should go or not. then, she remembered the date. may 18. she knew he would be hurt but with how he was acting right now, does he even feel hurt? she hadn’t been going to his games and yet, he not once, shared his thoughts about it.

the calendar landed on may 18.

“game’s at seven-thirty.”

“good luck.” she checked if she had everything in her bag before booking a grab. “daddy and i will be watching you.”

calvin must have noticed that she was leaving because he asked, “where are you going?”

“home. it’s alessandro’s birthday. i have to be there.”

his eyes widened. “alessandro’s birthday? you’re going to his birthday over my finals?”

“it’s alessandro. and even if it’s astrid you know i’d still go.”

“eve–”

“since when did you care about me going to your games lately?” she snapped.

“what are you talking about? i’ve been in a bad mood because you haven’t been going to my games.”

“right.” she rolled her eyes. “you were in such a bad mood ever since you found out you’d be going against san miguel.”

“i’m sorry,” he stressed. “i wasn’t sure who you’d root for.”

eve narrowed her eyes. “you’re really asking that question? smb is my team but you are my love. there’s a big difference.”

“so you’re telling me you’d root for tnt?”

“of course! my family understands, they have nothing against it.”

calvin pursed his lips. “i”m sorry.”

she shrugged. “well. it’s done. i’ll see you tonight.”

“you’re going to the game?”

“no, i’m still going home. i’ll see you back here.”

she moved past calvin, trying her best not to let her tears fall.

san miguel still won and although eve could not help but cheer, she knew calvin was devastated. how was she going to face him when she gets back?

when she arrived, he wasn’t there yet. she sat down on the couch and scrolled through her phone. all she could see was how smb won the championship and that they were, again, considered the winningest team in the pba.

she head keys jingle and she looked up to see calvin coming in with his bag. he dropped it on the floor and locked the door behind him. he stayed there for a while and eve let him. he leaned against the wall and shook his head. “fuck.”

“calvin,” eve called softly.

he looked at her, not saying anything.

“calvin, i–”

but he did not hear her out, rather, he picked up his bag and walked to the bedroom.

days later, eve was invited to a party. it was her friend’s bachelorette party and she tried her best to find something comfortable to wear. they were going to a club and she had no idea what clothes are worn there.

finally, she found something she thought would look nice. she had asked sage if it was appropriate and she gave her approval. “great,” eve said. “this is good.”

when she was done getting ready, she looked at herself in the mirror once again before smiling and grabbing her bag. just as she was about to turn around, calvin had appeared. they were quiet until he asked, “where are you going?”

“it’s bea’s bachelorette party,” she answered. “we’re going to spotlight.”

he nodded. “have you booked a grab yet?”

she shook her head. “no, not yet.”

“i’ll drive you then.”

she liked that idea.

while they drove, eve had her hands on her lap and, unexpectedly, calvin had reached out for hers and brought the back of her hand to his lips. her heart beat quickened. “calvin.”

“i’m sorry,” he said. “i’m sorry.”

before she could say anything, they reached spotlight and he let her go. “i’ll be around the corner. just call if you need anything or want to be picked up already. okay?”

she nodded.

“i love you,” he said as she opened the door.

she turned to face him. “i love you, too.”

once inside, eve had found her friends and she tried her best to not think about calvin. they would probably have the talk later that day. but she couldn’t get him off of her mind, and add to that, she saw him inside the club, sipping a drink and looking at her.

bea and some of her friends had decided to dance while eve and another friend watched over their belongings.

“dance with me.” eve looked up and found calvin holding out his hand, a smile on his face. “please?”

she smiled back then turned to the other girl.

“go,” she said. “i got this.” she grinned.

“thank you,” both eve and calvin said at the same time. this made the three chuckle.

calvin could dance, but eve couldn’t. so he had been guiding her the whole time. a slow song began to blast and, with eve facing the other way, he snaked his arm around her waist and his other hand held her arm. “i’m sorry,” he murmured. he was still too tall for him to rest his chin at the top of her head. “i’m so sorry.”

when it was finally time, eve turned on the radio and the song tonight by weslife was the first to come alive.

“i like this song,” she said.

they had the talk in the car, not where she expected, but still, they talked, that’s all that mattered. he explained to her that cheering for the other team made him lose his confidence, not in her, but in him. he loved her, and he wanted to be good enough.

“you are good enough,” she assured him. “you’re great. you’re the best.”

“you have to say that.”

“no. i don’t. but i am because it’s true.”

“eve.”

“it’s okay, calvin. it’s okay.”

they reached their place and once inside, they locked the door behind them and walked quickly inside their room.

she was inside first and she grinned as she placed her bag on the table. when he came in, he grinned back before closing the door behind him.

Another day, another character in FEH getting multiple alts and a resplendent before Soleil even though Soleil's outscored them in every CYL event (Fir). I'll continue to be a broken record about this until Soleil gets an alt. If she never gets an alt the universe will have to suffer - or at least anyone who bothers to read my Tumblr posts in full.

I've finished and 100%ed SMB Wonder. It's very fun, but the fact that I 100%ed it in 5 days has left me with no new games to play for the foreseeable future. I'm stuck replaying old games and I'm getting a bit of choice paralysis about that - I have a few possibilities planned but only a slight amount of excitement to start any of them. For now, I've started an Awakening-themed run of FE Fates with Corrin being Tiki instead of Chrom or Robin as one would expect. I've also got my shiny Dondozo hunt that's still happening.

I've been getting increasingly anxious in the last few days and I have no idea why. The above game issue might be causing some of it. I always have some anxiety but it's worse than usual at the moment.

I wish I had more positive things to talk about but I rarely do. Oh well.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - I might actually be making a Youtube video (a compilation more specifically). Emphasis on might though.

Synology Records 100% Growth in India YoY since 2019

Synology, a pioneer and one of the world leaders in data storage and management, today unveiled its game plan for achieving 300% growth in 2023, riding on its track record of 100% growth YoY in India since 2019 and the strength of its new range of data storage and backup, file collaboration, video surveillance, and network infrastructure solutions. Synology has been growing exponentially YoY in revenue, units shipped, installed base, customers, and active partner accounts since 2019. Synology server deployments in India have doubled YoY, especially among Small and Midsize Businesses (SMBs), emerging as key growth drivers for the company. The manufacturing sector, seeking multi-site solutions to share and sync mission-critical data, accounts for more than 30% of Synology revenues in India. Professional services (ex. hospitals) seeking on-demand data protection, security and backup solutions, and the entertainment industry seeking PETA volume data storage and high I/O data management solutions follow with a 15% share each. Events since 2019 have changed the way businesses and their employees manage and share data, testing organization-wide IT resilience. During the pandemic, Synology NAS used for file collaboration and remote access fulfilled a critical need for SMBs and enterprises to have an integrated infrastructure providing networking, collaboration, security, and file storage solutions, to minimize IT efforts and enable them to focus on running their business in a challenging environment. Designed to simplify and empower users, regardless of skill level, to tackle common IT issues, Synology NAS servers enhanced the business resilience of SMBs. “The Indian economy is poised for exponential growth in 2023 and beyond. Our new line of data management solutions enables us to address unmet market demands and drive digital transformation for customers in India, " said Michael Chang, Regional Sales Head, Asia Pacific, Synology. Staying at the forefront of data management, Synology is bringing new possibilities to the table, including solutions for data storage and backup, file collaboration, video surveillance, and network infrastructure – all designed with one goal in mind – presenting a centralized platform to simplify IT administration while driving digital transformation for enterprises, SMBs and SOHO users in India. Encompassing all products and spanning data management, data protection, and IT infrastructure security, the newly launched Synology solutions will transform the way data is stored and managed setting the bar even higher for reliability, security, and scalability. Data Management Solutions - Protect Data Against Ransomware And Cyberthreats With DSM 7.2 Expected in early 2023, DSM 7.2 will introduce full-volume encryption, offering greater peace of mind while boosting storage performance by 48% over shared folder-based encryption. DSM 7.2 will also introduce "write once, read many" (WORM) folders. These tamper-proof folders prevent modification or deletion of data during a set period of time. And just like new immutable backups in Hyper Backup, which bar any changes after creation, it helps protect data against ransomware and cyberthreats. - Share And Collaborate With Ease Using Synology Drive Updates to Synology's private cloud solution, Synology Drive, help keep files safe during sharing between teams with watermarks and download policies. Remote wipe capabilities help minimize security risks by removing synced folders from stolen Windows and macOS clients. Automatic login with AD credentials following mass deployment, as well as the provisioning of backup and syncing tasks, make mass deployment simpler. Sharing data over SMB will be safer and more efficient in DSM 7.2. Cross-protocol file locking between SMB file shares and Synology Drive ensures that in-use files are not edited or overwritten. And SMB multichannel transfer support makes use of all network connections available between servers and clients to greatly boost SMB file transfer performance. - Scale Out NAS - Next-Gen Storage Servers Also launching in 2023 are new scale-out systems designed for file and object storage. Scale-out clusters will be considerably faster than Synology's current largest solutions, with near linear scaling of performance and capabilities as more units are added. The first generation of scale-out systems will support clusters of up to 60 servers for more than 12 PB of effective storage, over 60 GB/s sequential write performance, and more than 80,000 concurrent connections. The clusters will offer upwards of 99.99% availability and support Synology's Hyper Backup and Active Backup data protection suites. Data Protection Solutions - Worldwide Backup Management Platform A new management platform for Active Backup and C2 Backup aims to enable seamless management, deployment, and monitoring of backup tasks across an organization's IT infrastructure, regardless of location or scale. The new platform brings together Synology on-premises and cloud-based solutions, providing IT admins and MSPs with the most efficient tools to protect and ensure timely recovery of any device or service. Video Surveillance - Synology 500 Series AI-Powered Cameras Launching in early 2023, Synology 500 Series IP cameras will offer superior performance, security, and integration, with all camera settings managed directly from Surveillance Station. Edge AI capabilities, such as guarding intrusion detection zones, free up recording server resources to allow larger AI-powered deployments, while dedicated processing speeds up people and vehicle searches anywhere in the video frame. Coming in two form factors, Synology 500 Series cameras feature 5 MP sensors for wide-angle 16:9, 3K (2880x1620) recording at 30 FPS. The cameras support PoE and are weatherproof (IP67), enabling flexible placement indoors or outdoors. Synology 500-series cameras are US NDAA/TAA compliant and are designed for security, introducing similar security innovations and hardening methods found on Synology enterprise products. Networking Solutions - WRX560 Wi-Fi 6 Router With Advanced Networking Features Building on the SRM 1.3 platform, the new WRX560 brings the same high-end network management features from the RT6600ax into a more affordable price point. With powerful internal dual-band radios and a 2.5GbE LAN/WAN port, WRX560 can easily be added as a mesh node to any RT6600ax router or utilized as a standalone solution for homes and offices. Hybrid-Cloud Services - Active Insight - Automated Breach And Misuse Detection Active Insight is evolving to automatically prevent user activities in breach of data protection rules. The new data loss prevention feature monitors user activities such as logins, file access, sharing task creation, while comparing checksums of files that are uploaded or shared. When thresholds or rules are triggered, the system can either send alerts or take actions, such as disconnecting clients suspected of being infected by ransomware. - Synology C2 Identity Platform - Securing Devices And Credentials The Synology C2 Identity platform continues to grow, with a heavy emphasis on blending good security practices with convenience. In 2023, C2 Identity will receive several improvements to enable passwordless logins to both online and local services and devices. Integration with Windows Hello and Apple's Face ID/Touch ID facilitates easy authentication on endpoints managed by C2 Identity. And combined with an upcoming C2 Identity user portal, employees using managed endpoints can be automatically signed in to web services supporting SAML, with the option to enable 2FA for more sensitive services such as a company's ERP or CRM systems.

As great as Mario Maker is, I will never forgive it for bastardizing the word "kaizo" the same way the internet bastardized "gaslighting"

#super mario maker #supber mario bros #smb #call me old fashioned; but ... #see most mario maker kaizo levels just have a high execution ceiling #when a kaizo level should instead be a level with a high execution ceiling that wants to see you fail #I think a good kaizo level would combine the mm kaizo level with the mm troll level #troll levels unfortunately usually do not require a lot of execution #just figuring out the gimmick #a big problem I have with most mm kaizo levels is the use of indicators and the same gimmicks #most levels have you swap between spin and normal jumps while throwing shells to either jump off them or switch states #if you're lucky they make you do spin jump off a bomb #the indicators just go against the spirit of a kaizo level. you shouldn't know what's coming. that's the point #you're expecting to keep retrying until you know everything it will throw at you and then die to a hidden block when jumping for the goal #speaking of... there aren't any kaizo blocks #there's nothing wrong with mm kaizo levels; they're fine; I just think they should be called something else #I think a big root of the cause is the fact that mario maker is an online game where your level is only shared if people like it #most people aren't going to like a level that intentionally tries to make you lose #hell; in the tutorial the devs even have lessons specifically telling you not to make kaizo levels #kaizo levels for the most part unfortunately cannot survive in mario maker because only a fraction of its player base appreciates them
