The Playful, the Curious, and the Quiet One

I

I told myself I’d sort my reading pile, yet sloth iya was already off in a daydream, slurping spicy ramen in a faraway Japanese stall. Isn’t life just better lying on the floor reading manga instead of caring about tidying up when I never do? Nah, I’m good.

Someday soon, I’ll have my own little cafΓ© with shelves loaded with mangas. Right now, I’m enjoying the whole figuring-it-out stage. Guess that’s why my inner monologue talks more than I do with actual humans. Anywho… small talk’s fine, it’s just not my lane ’cause I mostly just listen.

Anyways, reading all this Super Mario stuff made me think, maybe I should check out Super Nintendo World in Japan and the Nintendo Museum… but for now, just on YouTube, lol. If I make it as an interpreter or translator, that’s my treat.

I’m down for laughing too loudly and having fun, but solitude is god mode. The more alone time I get, the more alive I feel. You know that feeling when you look at the ocean or sky and just feel lighter? Pretty much me. I just know I’m happiest in my own company. Not everyone’s built like that.



I don’t really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that. The important thing for us is to make sure that we’re having fun in our job.  – Shigeru Miyamoto




Mario had a humble beginning as a side-story character for the hit game Donkey Kong.


Where Mario Got His Name…
While brain storming in their small office, they were thinking of game ideas and names for this little guy. The office owner then came in and demanded that he get rent money for the office space that they were using. Working on getting a game out there and distributed, the landlord made a big scene while demanding the late rent money. His name? Mario. The staff members then started joking and calling the little Jump Man, Mario. He looked somewhat the same, had the same overalls and the same appearance, so to this day, that’s how Mario is known.
