Do you intend to do another "how many Super Mario Games are there" survey if/when there's another game that you expect most respondents would agree is a mainline mario game, and if so, are you receptive to suggestions for that survey?
I never know what I intend to do other than that I am not looking for suggestions for how to do it. if I want people’s ideas I will ask for them
favorite word?
idk
what tone contour do you typically use for the “I don’t know” sound? (as in the usually-nasally sound that means “I don’t know” and not how you’d say the sequence of words “I don’t know”)
unsure / I don’t make this sound
low-high-low (peaking, start and end are same pitch)
low-high-mid (peaking, start is lower than end)
mid-high-low (peaking, start is higher than end)
high-low-high (dipping, start and end are same pitch)
high-low-mid (dipping, start is higher than end)
mid-low-high (dipping, start is lower than end)
strictly rising
strictly falling
level / constant
something else

now if you thought "group" is an unhelpful and nondescriptive name for a mathematical concept. just remember that the broader category of mathematical concepts that groups belong to is called, a "category". so it could always be worse
ok but like what else would you call "groups" tho
if I were in charge of naming math things I’d call them “organizations”. gets across the idea that it’s both a collection of things and the relationships between them
I wonder who the person who most uses Wiktionary without adding contributions is

At the start of her new video (VG Myths - Can You Beat Donkey Kong Country Without Bananas?) Gamechamp3000 claims that Donkey Kong Country is the thirteenth game in the Donkey Kong series. As the "how many Mario games are there" guy, can you explain the joke as to what the other 12 might be?
pretty straightforward:
- Donkey Kong (arcade)
- Donkey Kong II
- Donkey Kong 3
- Donkey Kong Jr. Math
- Donkey Kong (Game Boy)
- Donkey Kong Country
- Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest
- Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!
- Donkey Kong 64
- Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
- Donkey Kong Country Returns
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Donkey Kong Bananza
dang not even the right game in the question. I underestimated you miss gamechamp

Is this a Gaster reference?
explain
Offering 'one egg' is a thing a man behind a tree does, who is often theorized to be Gaster, who is originally from the game Undertale, but Deltarune has put more focus on him
why do undertale-deltarune fans assume every mysterious character is the same guy. just because there's one mysterious guy whose name you know you just assume everyone you don't know is that guy? get real
idk gaster's Probably involved with deltarune and it's a weird guy who is only referred to as "a man" (as is Gaster), not too big a stretch. I personally think he's not the same guy as the goner maker sequence guy tho. maybe different fragments of gaster
evidence that the egg guy is gaster (comprehensive??):
- mysterious
- male
egg guy also only appears in between two rooms sometimes and mystery man in undertale appears in a hallway in between two rooms sometimes
so they got the whole room that does not normally appear thing going on
but also egg guy gives you two eggs actually in the two chapters so this is not an egg guy reference
3. similar method of finding the easter egg as a third mysterious character who may or may not also be gaster
No no cause in Undertale he was implied to be experimenting with alternate universes and he only appears sometimes based on a random number that's chosen when you start the game (named the Functional Universe Number number)
And Deltarune is an alternate universe so he's probably up to something
Also his leitmotif appears in a bunch of bosses' music and also weirdly Noelle's theme, so he must be there somewhere
why are we saying that's what fun stands for. toby fox confirmed ages ago that f is for friends who do stuff together, u is for
considering Gaster was "shattered across time and space" the egg man is likely part of him
this is evidence that literally any character is gaster this is nothing you're not doing actual analysis
There's a blog post in the Spamton ARG in which a young Noelle describes an egg which behaves in very similar game-breaking way to the one in Deltarune. There's even an alternate link to it from deltarune.com/man, a page with the Deltarune egg tree.
Once could be written off, as vagueness of name has been used for other characters to a lesser extent (e.g. Asriel), but the addition of the blog post is emphasis that there is something very close to this egg that cannot be named.
This is likely a reference to the fact that if you type in 'Gaster' as any name in either game, it crashes.
