he released a new installment of the newsletter, too!

There was an interesting guy called “Beat Mario”. His young kid was there running around yelling stuff like “I wanna go home!” “I wanna go home!” Soon after meeting him for the first time, Beat Mario picked up his kid and pushed them into me, trying to get me to hold them, but I just sort of backed up repeatedly. His wife asked me if I was afraid of children, and I accidentally agreed because I misunderstood her Japanese and thought she asked if I was bad at holding kids. Then she picked up the child and started spinning them around and making them do flips and said “it’s easy, once they aren’t babies you can basically do whatever you want as long as you don’t drop them.” It was cool, it was essentially like a free circus performance. “Sorry, I know you’re afraid of children…” Wait, I’m not! But it was too late to correct myself, so they probably still think that.
