I had a dream last night that in some new Mario game, instead of a Final Ultimate Challenge, beating the game presented you with a quiet garden with a comfy recliner. There was commentary from both Miyamoto and Miyamoto's mother, and they both expressed how grateful they were for you playing, and just hoped you had a good time.
I thought it was really touching and sweet, and I started crying.
I woke up, fell back asleep, and had another dream that Nelward was reviving some Drawn to Life fangame he had started when he was a teenager.
His passion for the game was really clear, and the fact that he rediscovered that passion and went back to it as an adult was really powerful, and I started crying.
I woke up, fell back asleep, and had another dream about some trained elephant that danced, and it was so cute I couldn't stop laughing and crying.
Finally I woke up a few minutes before my alarm, and just thought
"Christ, I need to wake up for real or I'm going to be emotionally exhausted before breakfast."
