Questions from Discord:

• FreshleyStreamedGames: Super Mario Wonder has a few “easy mode” characters. Nabbit and Yoshi. If they wanted to add some “hard mode” characters post-launch (probably Wario & Waluigi), what are the gameplay things they could do to make playing as them more difficult?

• Joe:  “What is your favorite Biome/setting in a game?  I love snowy settings”

• Joe: F, Mary, kill, peach, daisy, Rosalina.

• Follow up from Bock and Six: who’s the best Spider-Man? I suggest to answer carefully

• From Bock and Six: Make Greg read the question : In recent years there's been a plethora of good license games. Do you believe we'll see a resurgence of high-quality licensed games? Are there any modern IPs you'd like to see made into video games? Lastly, What do y'all think makes a good license game?
