Happy (Late Night) Father's Day!

Looks I heard that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has reached $1 billion at the global box office and the first film to do so this year in 2026! 😀👏🏽👍🏽

(From yesterday) On this day in 2025, Wylde Pak premiered on Nickelodeon. Happy 1 year anniversary, Wylde Pak family, I'm your biggest fan, and I'm grateful to the voice cast of the Nickelodeon animated series! 😀 Fun facts is in the image, and yes, I share the same descent (Filipino-American) and same birthyear (1999) with Nikki Castillo (the voice of Lily Pak). I'm 11 months older than Nikki, as I was born in January, while Nikki was born in November. Even though and sure, I'm older than the show's target demographic, as it is geared to kids at 6 to 11 years old (as this cartoon is rated TV-Y7 for TV guidelines), as I'm currently at 27 years old as an adult. I was 26 at the time when it first premiered, and that premiered 1 day after I got the Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World. Obviously as a grown man here, but you need to be 13 years old, in order to use social media accounts, in accordance with the COPPA law.

(1 day late) Happy 1 year anniversary, Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World! 😀 These photos (selfies) were taken by me as well as my very first screenshot of my gameplay of Mario Kart World in Free Roam mode as Mario (the titular hero and one of my main racers) last year on their launch day on June 5, 2025. I was able to get these in a bundle, as I went to one of my local Target locations to get these. I was in line with a crowd of people getting the new console, and I got my red ticket voucher to get these. After 7 years of me playing on the original Nintendo Switch console from 2018 to 2025, I moved on to this current Nintendo video game console.

 Wow, as I saw the official news and announcements for Nintendo Music earlier today from Nintendo, special thanks to Nintendo, for porting Nintendo Music to PCs (laptops and desktop computers), car (via Air Play), and tablet, aside from my phone via iPhone 16 (iOS). Now I can listen to Nintendo video game music on my PC (laptop computer), aside from Spotify. If you're a Nintendo Switch/Nintendo Switch 2 user who has a Nintendo Switch Online subscription like me here, do you listen to Nintendo video game from Nintendo Music on what device? For me, I can listen to that on both my laptop computer (PC) and phone (iPhone 16, iOS). Also, this is my personal playlist, it contains music from my favorite Nintendo titles from Super Mario Odyssey, Donkey Kong Bananza, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!, and Kirby Air Riders.

Alongside the birthday collage I made for Grace Gootee on her birthday today, here's a new fan art crossover of my OC and mascot of my indie arts and entertainment brand, Edward Feldson, with Grace's OC, Grace the Hedgehog doing a fist bump! 😀
