Ya know I wasn’t gonna post about this because I thought the Irony was Funny but. I am. So back in 2021 I made a very large Google Document that went over the entire situation involving MatPat stealing from my friend Della (aka Micer2012). Decided last night and today I was gonna do some digging to see if I could find other instances of Mat stealing, because I know this isn’t new
I did find some things, what was more interesting was I found a documentation of the entire event uploaded on some website called Techhenzy. I was curious and went in and…it was my document. My entire document, screenshots and all, just. There. My entire record of the Matpat Hermitcraft situation just. There!
I want to know if anyone knows anything about what Techhenzy is. The only place that Google Document was uploaded was Della’s Tumblr and Reddit posts responding to the situation, which were the same post. I wanna know what this website is, because I have never heard about it, and I am like. I’m not mad but I’m curious if I’ve stumbled on some rabbit hole, because…If I have? I want to fall down it.

can i ask for that luigi's mansion remake rant? i'm genuinely curious about your thoughts on it!! :0
Okay so I will admit I have not played the remake. So like I'm sure it's a good experience for those who haven't played the original, but just from the visuals I have seen of it, I personally think it's a massive downgrade in the atmosphere department. I am gonna put this under a read more because. It is very long.
My primary example of this is just to show screenshots of the foyer
Tumblr media
It's like, fairly obvious they changed the palette, made it brighter, more vibrant, etc. Which doesn't really work when you consider this mansion is based on old timey mansions, its palette shows off its age. Not to mention the lighting. i do not get why they made the lighting yellow. Yellow lighting usually signifies comfort or hominess, as it's associated with stuff like fireplaces or lamps, but white light is a lot more. Discomforting. It's like hospital lighting, you know you're not in immediate danger, but it does not make you comfortable.
Not to mention what they did to King Boo, and I know they did this for continuity and because the 3DS hardware is more limited
Tumblr media
But I just don't think he looks as interesting as his original design. The original game had this green overlay to pretty much everything, like the mansion had greenish-brown walls and stuff, and King Boo's model is actually green. It just kinda made him seem more spooky, as he wasn't just pure white, he was an off white. Plus him being green made his crown and eyes stand out more, and because those are some of his defining characteristics, it actually helped define his appearance (I have. an entire rant on King Boo's designs but that's not what this is)
Again I'm sure this game isn't like. Bad. I'm sure it's a good experience if you've never played the original, but as someone who has the original and has played it more times than any other game I own, I don't know why I'd play the remake over it. The remake jus lacks the atmosphere, and I know that's a complaint levied at LM2 and LM3 as well, but it's worse here because this isn't a new game this is a remake of a game that mastered the spooky atmosphere
And I know people say "they cant make it too scary, it's a kid's game" as if the original game was not made for the same audience as every other game in the franchise, since Mario games are made for everybody, not just children. Also that argument doesn't work when you consider there are much darker Mario spinoffs (*coughs in Paper Mario TTYD and Super Paper Mario. Also Mario and Luigi Partners in Time*).
Also I don't know why they added new rankings to the game, but at least it lets you replay boss fights. I also appreciate the Dark Moon control mode, because the Dark Moon controls do have some improvements, most notably the dodge feature and the strolbulb (makes it easier to see the ghosts' hearts, which I know some people struggle with doing in the original). I also like Gooigi's lore in this game, since he was introduced here and this game is canonically an alternate timeline if you really think about it.
(Also anybody who says LM3DS has the PAL Hidden Mansion mode is wrong. no it does not. The LM3DS Hidden Mansion removes like over half the features that make the PAL Hidden Mansion so insanely different. I have watched an entire video about this, I have a lot of thoughts. I wish i had a PAL Gamecube.)

So. I don't usually make posts about discourse. I've never ONCE made a discourse post on this blog. But. This is personal. And I want people who follow me to know.
So today M*tpat released a Hermitcraft theory which, would be FINE but. The theory is stolen. My friend Della, aka the amazingly big brained @micer2012 , came up with that theory and has expanded upon it in a way I didn't think possible.
If you want to see the ACTUAL theory. Go to Della's account. It's in her masterpost. All of it. In its original glory.
I've seen how much effort she puts into that thing, gives me a headache just to try and create theories for HC lore. But like. Please for the love of the stars check out Della's original post for that theory. Like it n reblog it. Give her some kinda compensation for this. She deserves to be known as the person who made that theory. Because she did. And she's been acknowledged by Pooka himself as the one who made the theory. He's read the theory. I think more ppl need to know she made that theory
That's all. I'm sorry for going discoursey on main, but Della is my friend and this is the worst case scenario. Which we joked about weeks ago, because we didn't think it'd happen.

So about the Tumblr Update
So the uh. Tumblr IOS thing. Yeah uh, I don’t use IOS so it’s not gonna be but if you’re an IOS user and following me, if you have ANY other means to access tumblr I highly ask you do that and stop using or just overall delete the IOS app. I refuse to not tag my posts. I want people to be able to safely look through my blog. Here’s a post on how to override the whole system by just downloaded the tumblr website without the update. If you have android or a computer, use those instead. 
I’m sorry for this post, I don’t usually make these kinds of posts, but as someone who properly tags things to keep people from having to be upset, this update is going to screw over people following me who use IOS.

Idk who to tell this but pretty sure mat also stole the "Do Not Kill the Ender dragon" theory from ibxtoycat, who made an extremely similar video 2 years ago. If i remember the correct videos
I wouldn't know sadly. The only reason I know about this is because I'm close friends with Della and I've read all her theory posts about this. If that's the case then the OG person who made that theory has my respect as a fellow person who adores over analyzing video games :>
