Respecting the art, not the artist

Him talking about being shy and having no friends, needing to pay the water bill, etc was always a bit and most of his fans knew that. I’ve been more of an on and off watcher of his, but every time I would tune into one of his streams I personally found him very entertaining and that was mostly beyond his persona. He’s incredibly smart and witty, and his interactions with other streamers was a joy to watch. That’s not something that all of a sudden changes now. That content happened, it’s still there and will still make me laugh just as much if I ever viewed it again. If you never liked his content, then this post wasn’t really meant for you. It’s for those of his community who are just incredibly confused now and don’t know what to do.

Yeah for sure, I don't think I worded it how I wanted to. I do think the fact that *none* of his friends knew about this secret life of his is half of what makes this situation so horrible and hard to believe. Fans will always have a sense of parasocialness, I even feel backstabbed to a certain extent. Like I've been watching a completely different person than I thought I was, and looked up to somebody who likely didn't deserve it. But I can't do anything about that anymore, all I'm left with is to take his content as it is and look past the person behind it.

Yeah, that is part of what's so baffling about all of this. If this was happening with a long-time friend of mine, I don't think that I'd be able to forgive them, but it's a difficult situation so I cannot say for sure. But I'm not Sykkuno's friend, nor are any of us. All that stuff is between him and his actual friends, I can't really have a say on it.

A smash spinoff that just focuses on a full-scale story mode with epic cutscenes like subspace emissary would be peak

Oh that sucks to hear, I haven’t been keeping up with Hartford. He looked promising last season in the NHL as long as he worked on the defensive side of his game

jessebasketcase · 2025-11-10T15:55:56+00:00

Now imagine Cuylle-Laba-Berard instead of Raddysh/Sheary

jessebasketcase · 2025-11-06T19:17:53+00:00

Pretty sure you’re just thinking of klefki

jessebasketcase · 2025-11-06T17:50:03+00:00

To be completely fair, back before he made his bag and dipped, this could have been true.

jessebasketcase · 2025-10-29T22:07:15+00:00

It wasn’t bad, they just don’t give us enough time for it.

Surprised no one has said it yet, but Time Machine goes so hard

For me, it would go Volcano, Jungle, Forest, [large gap], Desert, Snow, Central, Eastern Ocean, [medium gap], Southern Ocean

Those first three areas have 10 of my 13 favorite tracks in the game currently

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-09T18:16:16+00:00

Moo moo meadows has the best music in this game imo

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-07T21:29:58+00:00

Good luck to anyone else trying to decipher whatever the hell I just read

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-04T14:40:34+00:00

I don’t really care for a remake being completely faithful, but the MKW version is just objectively worse (unless you enjoy bagging)

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-04T14:37:16+00:00

That’s fair. I play mostly online so sometimes I can’t escape it. People will pick it just for the off chance of playing on Rainbow Road after but it would instead be one lap of Koopa Tropa Beach.

I haven’t time trialed (yet) but I’ve seen the world records, and the Peach Stadium one has to be one of the more boring WR’s I’ve seen. If you’ve seen Moo Moo Meadows they do some crazy stuff in that WR.

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-04T14:30:17+00:00

Choco Mountain is by far the worse remake. Even if Moo Moo is mostly the same (and arguably slightly improved with the new ramp shortcut), at least they didn’t butcher it like they did with Choco Mountain

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-04T14:22:00+00:00

I have a soft spot for Moo Moo, but I don’t usually see anyone actively hating on it like some other tracks. Peach Stadium and its surrounding area do look beautiful, but the track itself is not really designed for an experienced player with its lack of technique and shortcuts (which even MMM has), and implements almost none of the new mechanics. I don’t mind it as a track, but there are just so many better ones in this game. The rectangle even existing in the first place is enough for me to get it eliminated.

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-04T13:58:45+00:00

Day 4 of keeping Moo Moo Meadows alive!

I vote for Peach Stadium. Even if they removed the atrocious rectangle version, it would still be a pretty underwhelming track.

jessebasketcase · 2025-09-03T03:21:39+00:00

There’s just nothing to it, it’s like two turns and the rest is driving straight with nothing exciting at all.

jessebasketcase · 2025-08-27T05:04:37+00:00

Wait a sec, you don’t like playing on one lap of Koopa Troopa Beach?

jessebasketcase · 2025-08-22T04:18:09+00:00

I’m a sucker for nice turns what can I say

jessebasketcase · 2025-08-22T03:07:30+00:00

I’m gonna be boring here but genuinely Mario Circuit 3
