Samarkand
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zanarkand (top image) was originally meant to be called “Registan”, which was an important part of the ancient city of Samarkand (bottom image), located in present-day Uzbekistan. It was later decided to be named after Samarkand itself, but with slight alteration. The city was a wealthy trading center.

but as a first fun trivia (I did say tomorrow but.......fac u you get one free): POKEMON SIZE TRIVIA.
Tumblr media
DID YOU KNOW? Dondozo it's the biggest single Pokémon that does not evolve and that it's also not a legendary, mega evolved, regional variant or gygantamax form in the franchise.
It stands at a 26'11" 8.2 m tall. Examples of other Pokemons that are smaller are:
Ultra Necrozma: 24'07" 7.5 m. Giratina Origin form: 22'08" 6.9 m Mega Rayquaza: 35'05" 10.8 m
There's only two Pokemons that are bigger than it: Wailord (47'07" 14.5 m) and Eternatus (65'07" 20.0 m).

A real and totally-not-made-up fun fact about Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
Tumblr media
On Steam version 1.03 of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, the EXIT GAME option on the file select screen was changed to "EIT GAME". This was an intentional change by WayForward. Due to the pirate theming of the game, many players erroneously thought the X in "EXIT" marked the spot for buried treasure, and mistakenly closed the game attempting to retrieve it.

Did ya’ll know Nintendo, the creators of Kid Icarus, originally started out as a racquetball manufacturer? It’s true! They only pivoted to video games out of spite when Peter Molyneaux mistakenly shipped a large crate of baked beans to their offices in 1982

Since its release back on July 14th, 2022, Powerwash Simulator has had three crossover DLC's. The first two were Tomb Raider and Final Fantansy and also completely free. This was likely because the game was published by Square Enix.
Afterwards was the game's first paid DLC, which was a crossover with Spongebob Squarepants. And it was recently announced that the game would also be receiving a Warhammer crossover too.

Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough
#She's so cute <3#WPP#Portal#Ellen McLain#If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun#I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes#No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!!#It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid#But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!!#I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game!#We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time#And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?''#She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go#I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back#It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :)#Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0#But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl#That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!!#Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh#It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp#I am so enamoured <3#I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol#Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft#But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly!#Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪#WPVG

Apparently if you don't pick up the Portrait of a Boy until after Geppetto gets kidnapped you can give it to Antonia instead! (Haven't confirmed myself since I'd have to play through full game from start.)
Quite the precious rare dialogue~ ❤ Though I may have some bad news for you, Antonia…
You can see the voiced clip in full [here]
