I thought she could be the one to pop up when techy stuff needs to be explained but I'm trying to figure out what personality and role she could have beyond being a walking plot device. ---- Bridge of Faust has graciously answered my request to illustrate my flight of fancy. The OP is updated...

I got a lot of chocolate and the 2023 Gaston Lagaffe album.

Searching the name mentioned in the title leads me to

One that's weirdly consistent is Treehouse going out of its way to 'tude Ashley up. It's best-known with her theme song (where the English goes for a cackling evil witch archetype while the Japanese is more of an ironic "look how wonderful Ashley is" but it extends to the ingame dialogue. The...

That was very intentional! There's an intentional rejection of a lot of modern storytelling conventions here. Recently I watched the british murder mystery series Midsomer Murders and when the original actor wanted out after 13 seasons, his final episode was... a completely standard episode...

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! It's good to have an idea of what warrants elaboration. And your question does allow me to elaborate on the "vibe" I'm going for a bit. Last year I got bigly into watching old-school live-action TV (not just the above-mentioned British shows...

A big one I remember from the French translation of Get It Together, Wario's description for Kat & Ana stages refer to them as (paraphrasing from memory) "two pests who think they're ninjas". The translation is otherwise close to the English script so it feels like the French translator got...

This is my idea for a video game starring Ashley 'n' pals. It is half-formed, Mario and the Music Box-level of uncharacteristic, and self-indulgent. I do not have the skills, means, or drive to make it real. You could call it a fantasy. Anarchy! Acts of terrors! Crimes against the public...

I dreamed that ashley and klonoa were recurring characters in a new season of spongebob

Having microgames scored on how well you do is something the PS Vita ripoff game Frobisher Says attempted, and it was super broken in that game. A microgame could have you either start right next to the objective, or on the other end of the map, but both variants would be scored the same way...

tbh after YIIK and the pirate software game, any indie RPG touting "warioware-inspired combat" is a legit red flag lol

Internal devs don't have this kind of sway in which games get rereleased, none of them worked on Wario World and the very deliberate ironic juxtaposition of generic movie trailer music with footage of the game's weirdness is pretty far removed from Japanese sensibilities lol

I love Mean Emcee's mug. It's such a "Wario" design. From what I've played of the game so far, I dunno who'd I pick from a mechanical POV. They're all kind of easy and mindless lol

The juxtaposition of the incredibly generic "epic" trailer music and Wario World being Wario World is divine. The editor deserves a raise.
