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.

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?
