Deviation Actions
Today is the first in the series of deviations. Where it look at Mario kart sourses through the years and look what could be done if they were released as DLC in Mario KArt 8 Deluxe, which is what I hope happens before I get a Switch myself.
First off, Kalamari Desert from Mario Kart 64. With stuff I would keep from each pre-existing version and my own ideas.

Mario Kart 64 (original)
- just the track,
- also the speed of the train being faster than in the remake.
- Bring back the shortcuts created for this iteration of the track
My own ideas
- For starters, a theme based on this remix:
- Second, instead of a train from the Old West, we're doing something more creative. A train based on those in Southern Africa, where the Kalahari Desert is...
- As opposed to a mere western style engine, we will replace this engine with a Garratt, a type most commonly associated with that part of the world. A Garratt is a type of steam engine that is articulated into three parts. Its boiler is mounted on the centre frame, and two steam engines are mounted on separate frames, one on each end of the boiler. Like this:
- The locomotive itself could be based on the South African railways NGG16 type:
- Or, another garratt engine the engine could be based on is the South African railways class GMAM 4-8-2+2-8-4:
- Instead of a passenger train, we could instead have the Garratt pulling a long, heavy train of boxcars. About four or six would probably do.
- Also, how about the train line being double tracked? Two trains could not only force people to slow down and stay longer, but the more the merrier. I'm thinking the other train could either be another fright train or a passenger train.
- A shortcut could involve riding on one of the trains for a bit
- Last, but not least, let's make the track longer in various parts. I think the place where it runs along side the railroad then the area between the two crossing are good places to expand. As well as the bends near the finish line.
Looking for a Mario fan comic.
I forget it's title, but I remember it involved Peach stealing a spell book from Kamek's lab. All I remember is that it turns her into an old woman at one point. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Alternate History of Anime -Urusei Yatsura
This is a series of casting fiction I made inspired by @Nuclearzeon2, who is a talented fellow, and a major inspiration for lots of my pop culture ideas on alternatehistory.com. Another thing that I've thought of since them was also inspired by that Lupin III casting meme I wrote a while back. I decided to take the same idea I used there, and apply it to some of the animes adapted from Rumiko Takashi's works. I'm starting with her first work, and my favorite, Urusei Yatsura. But of course I made a twist; this is a fictional dub that came out either in the middle of the original Japanese version's run or shortly after it ended - meaning that this dub would be in the late 80s and early 90s. For that reason, lots of the actors here would not be cast today if I was making a dub of UY in the present day. Also for simplicity's sake, I'm only sticking to regular characters in the series, meaning characters from and films or OVAs will likely be detailed later if at all. That is, barring one
Alternate Preserved Steam Engines
Lately, I've been spending most of my time on alternatehistory.com. Which is where I've since developed some ideas for steam engines that did not survive in real life, but would in some of my railroad-themed AH ideas. So I thought I'd go through some of these ideas. Many have locomotives where specific numbers came from @metalheadrailfan. 1) Wabash P-1 Hudson 702: This engine is one I would preserve at Decatur, IL where she was built from a poorly performing Mikado. I had the idea for a fictional shortline running over ex-PRR track from there to Peoria, so she'd often work there in addition to the mainline. I also thought of having her tender replaced with a larger one poached possibly from a NYC Mohawk. 2) New York Central Niagara 6015: In real life, she was the only survivor, so it honestly feels natural. Something like her deserves to be operational, so I was thinking I'd put her in an alternate version of the NYC museum in Elkhart. I'll have more ideas in the coming days.
Stop Eclipse
Simply put. The original layout suits me fine. I can understand where I am and how to do things, and it also can close notifications more easily than I ever can in the Eclipse mode.
Spread with your reasons to oppose eclipse.
