Back in the day I dammed off a strip of ocean between two islands and used sand to empty it of water. It's so tedious to do but it looks cool when you're done and seeing Vinny's interest in doing the same makes me believe that holes in the ocean is one of humanity's shared dreams.
Vinny's aesthetic choices are endlessly fascinating to me. It's very important that the wood flooring that is put down is symmetric against the cobblestone wall that leads down into the mines but it's fine that the rest of the floor is dirt.
If no one mentioned it to Brad in the stream chat. Funky Kong is essentially every Kong in one. He can stand on spikes, he can hover, he can roll forever like DK + kong etc. I wouldn't recommend playing as him the first time through but he's fun to play as if you just want to blow through the game on repeat playthroughs.
