When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I’m playing the remake and I’m at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn’t know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

      Well that’s certainly a very handy piece of lore if you happen to be a videogame company that just, fucking loves money.

      When I first played Diablo 3 I was shocked when Diablo was summoned. My friend I was playing with who played thousands of hours on D2 just chuckled and said “well the game is called Diablo”
