It had never occurred to me that the two were related. Duh!
Wikipedia describes Merry Melodies as a spin-off from Looney Tunes!
The title of Looney Tunes was inspired by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 weeks ago:
This is pretty obscure, but the Game Boy Advance remake of Mario Bros. (Not Super Mario Bros.) is more fun than the original.
You can run, for one thing, and the controls are more responsive in general.
It’s one of the games on Super Mario Advance, and one of the main reasons I originally wanted a GBA when it came out! I had the original Mario Bros. for the NES and thought it would be fun to have a portable version. I was right.
They did a great job updating the game!

The character art at the top of the Steam page is the right kind of unhinged for me!

I even remember buying a nice glacier blue rechargeable battery pack and never using it!

Some Game Boy Advance games actually had a software-based sleep mode!
You pressed L+R and Select.
On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.
- Comment on Telltale Games has reportedly laid off most of their staff 1 year ago:
Oh I just read about Disney doing that to the guy who wrote the original Star Wars novelizations, I think. They assumed all of Lucasfilm’s assets but not their liabilities, including royalty agreements.
It’s insane that this “works” for companies the size of Disney and Lucasfilm.

Kept meaning to come back to this thread and talk about OpenTTD! I’ve been a Transport Tycoon game since I was fourteen or so! I love getting sucked in to a new transportation empire.

A quote I think about is “a falling knife has no handle.”
I’ve never dropped a knife but I’m hoping if I do I’ll be prepared!
