Fun fact (and true story): On the last day of summer term (summer semester for you Americans) my whole class had a science quiz, and one of the questions was to write the longest scientific word you knew, my team wanted to write pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but we both agreed that neither of us knew how to spell that, so I wrote hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia instead. My science teacher checked all the quizzes after they were done and my science teacher didn't even know what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia was and kinda freaked out, so fun fact: my science teacher has a fear of long words lol (or at least I gave him the phobia [I'm very evil I know 🤣])

Fun fact:
I'm pretty sure the Nazi party still exists in Germany.
I'm pretty sure the Nazi party still exists in Germany.
It does exist but there in hiding I think
No it's a political party that follow the beliefs of fascism (basically the opposite of communism).
Some Nazis did flee to Argentina after the war though.
I wouldn’t say that Nazism is not the exact opposite of communism because although they have differences they also have many similarities. First of all, they are both extremely authoritarian ideologies where you must see the party’s beliefs as 100% correct, or you’ll end up dead. ( I’m am talking about the form of communism that was in the Soviet Union during WW2, I know their is many different types of communism and some are not authoritarian at all. Anarcho Communism for example) Another similarity comes from what Nazi means, which is National Socialism. Now it’s highly debatable if the Nazis where even socialists in practice but it’s still part of there name. Also as you mentioned before Nazism is a offshoot of Fascism, meaning that all Nazis are Fascists but not all Fascists are Nazis. (Not that it makes fascists any better 💀) The type of communism in the Soviet Union during WW2 is often referred to as “red fascism”, meaning that in a way both ideologies have ties to fascism. A better opposite to communism would be something libertarian, because it’s the opposite of authoritarianism. And something capitalist. Some ideologies that come to mind are Anarcho Capitalism, Minarchism and Hoppeanism. All these ideologies are extreme like communism, just in the exact opposite direction.
So glad you said that, each time someone hears that I'm a Communist they freak out and start thinking I'm Stalinist or Maoist. I'm a Communist, but I hate Authoritarianism, I'm also an anarchist, for crying out loud 💀

Fascism is the 597th reason I hate the Nazis, the other 596 reasons are mostly because of genocide and the fact that a lot of the Gestapo were fucking hypocritical pricks

Fun fact: The only Touhou game to release on the XBox is a Metroidvania fangame called Luna Nights, due to the shitty sales of the console in Japan (the country that unironically plays Touhou the most).
Fun fact 2: It's nigh impossible to defeat Sanae Kochiya (the final boss of Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith) in Lunatic Mode if she uses a spell card.
Fun fact 3: It's theorized that Sakuya Izayoi, the maid of the vampire mistress Remilia Scarlet, is actually a half-vampire. Considering Sakuya used to be a vampire hunter but somehow became the maid and second-in-command of a vampire, she's pale-skinned and her eyes can turn red, the theory does seem plausible.
Fun fact 4: A boss in my upcoming game Darklit Adventurer has an attack pattern based on a bug in the beta version of the combat screen that made it nigh impossible to kill even the weakest of enemies.
Fun fact 5: Without the compound tetrahydrocannabinol, the marijuana plant wouldn't have an adverse effect on the brain.
Fun fact 6: It's nigh impossible to survive if you swallow tetrodotoxin, the poison contained in the heart, liver, blood and intestines of fugu.
Fun fact 7: The moon gets further from the Earth every year by about 55cm.
Fun fact 8: Speaking of the moon, last night's moon was a strawberry moon. They only appear once every year.
Fun fact 9: No human has been killed by a meteorite or an asteroid.
Fun fact 10: Every hero in Darklit Adventurer is based on an MKPC member.
Fun fact 11: As of now, there are only 3 (named) male characters in Touhou. There was a 4th mentioned in a manga (Taisui Xingjun, the arch-rival of Hong Meiling) but his inclusion isn't canon.
Fun fact 12: This is fun fact number 12.
Fun fact 13: Sanae's hair grip resembles a serpent and her hair clip resembles a frog.
Fun fact 14: Despite having larger wings and being slightly more powerful, Flandre Scarlet is younger than her twin sister Remilia.
Fun fact 15: Despite having a masculine English name, Mike Goutokuji is feminine and is fully Japanese.
Fun fact 16: Suika is always seen completely wasted on alcohol in Touhou.
Fun fact 17: Nezuko Kamado is almost always seen holding a stick of bamboo in her mouth. The reason she does this is to suppress her demonic desires for human blood.
Fun fact 18: 3 of the characters who had kids in Touhou lost them in some way. Okina supposedly had a miscarriage, Byakuren and her daughter were supposedly killed due to Byakuren allegedly having an affair with a youkai, and Junko supposedly lost her daughter to disease.
Fun fact 19: If Okina's baby had survived, they could have potentially been the first canonical male Touhou character. Instead it was either Doremy Sweet or Rinnosuke (I forgor which one 💀)
Fun fact 20: My current pfp is Sanae Kochiya.

Fun Fact: If You Listen Closely, You Can Here Multiple Songs from Other Zelda Games in This Song!

The song from OoT that you don't know is Zelda's Lullaby and Song of Time (they've been used in like every single Zelda since their debut), the ALttP one I think is Hyrule Castle.

Fun fact : Asutralia has 25,69 million people living in it while France has 67,75 million people living in it, which means France has around 2,45 times Australia's population despite Australia being fourteen times bigger
Mongolia's 4 times the size of the UK and Ireland put together and it has 30x less people. It's not that weird when you think about it, both Australia and Mongolia are covered in desert.

It only solidifies TTYD as the 2nd worst Paper Mario game.
You managed to anger most fans of a RPG franchise.
Congratulations
.There are a ton of people who have already & will in the future. No big deal.
But if the first battle of the game is because someone wanted to fuck a Goomba, in a town with a noose, cult, & murder, to be followed later by a DRAGON who is weak to a CRICKET SFX, it is the second worst Paper Mario game, ever.
The second helper was a scaredy-cat Koopa Troopa who's dad got swallowed by said dragon, & when he finally made up his mind to try hero-ing, he got dumped by his girlfriend. Does that sound like a good Paper Mario game to you?
Yes, it sounds like a really fun paper Mario game. You've pretty much sold the game for me and now I'm going to lose like £50.
To the games credit, atleast someone is alive at the ending besides Mario. Basically all the partners Kamikaze at the ending in the last 4 games.
I know, for some reason Tippi's death always made me cry as a kid

Did you know that there are 300 possible combinations for a Miitopia Party (The team you set off with, not the team you have in the inn)
If you want an explanation, click the spoiler below to show how much of a nerd I am
If you want an explanation, click the spoiler below to show how much of a nerd I am
There are 15 total Miitopia jobs (Counting the male and female pop star seperately, including the 2 secret jobs, vampire and elf) so 15 for a team of 1. Multiply that by 2 to get the possible combinations for a team of 2, etc. so, there are 30 combos for a team of 2, 45 combos for a team of 3, and 60 combos for a team of 4.
15+30+45+60=150, multiply that by 2, because of the option to set off with or without the horse in the Switch version, and you get 300.

What about mii faces? (Oh no)
They get stolen by the Dark Lord/Darker Lord ever since you arrive at Greenhorne Town
By the way, a not-so-fun fact: The same shit's still going on because I love Lemon

Merry Christmas
Your'e back I see?
No she's not
She's officially coming back on 26 March I think
On 2022-12-24 at 10:36:54
Did you know that one of the only design errors that wasn't fixed in the Switch port of Miitopia was that all of the Dark Lord models still had the head separated from the body?
Also it's virtually possible to create every song from the Touhou 6 OST in WarioWare DIY (I actually managed to do that somehow, alongside Bad Apple, Necrofantasia and Emotional Skyscraper -- these are from different Touhou Project games)
