Hello everyone! It is with GREAT ENTHUSIASM that we would like to announce the:
Us Starmen.Netters are bringing back a long-beloved sitewide tradition! The Earthbound Funktastic Gameplay Summer is an event that dates back to 2001, wherein the community collectively plays through EarthBound over the course of several “Gameplay Points” (GPPs). Everyone is encouraged to play along, and our team of stream hosts will be broadcasting their own gameplay on the StarmanClub Twitch channel. In addition, we will be celebrating MOTHER’s 35th and Earthbound’s 30th anniversary!
Maybe it’s been a minute since you’ve returned to the game. Maybe you’ve never played before! The idea is to get fans, new and old, engaging with Earthbound. With introduction out of the way, let’s move on to the deets:
An integral part of Starmen history is fan submissions, where the community creates fanart about the stream events, and just EB in general. As per usual, here are the categories:
Writing: Stories, poems, theories… if you wrote it, it belongs here!
Handart: Charcoal, paintings, sculptures… if you made it with your hands, it belongs here!
Compart: Digital illustrations, 3D models, pixel art… if you made it with a computer, it belongs here!
AudioViz: Music, videos, fangames… if it pertains to audio/visuals, it belongs here!
Winners will receive shiny badges on the forum to show off their mastery of Earthbound funk, as well as forum ranks and avatars!
Of course, opening up the floor to fanworks doesn’t come without its fair share of ground rules. Don’t worry though, it’s pretty simple stuff.
Keep an eye out in our Event forum for the schedule drop, but livestreams won’t be the only thing we’ve got going on!
If you can’t catch the streams, don’t worry! The streams are only a small part of our summer programming. In addition, there will be other events to keep the party goin’! These being:
Get your cameras out and your bug spray on! This summer, we’re running a collaborative photo book! At the end of the event, your photos will be assembled into a digital booklet for your viewing pleasure. So, where to start? Well, we’re limiting subjects to four categories; birds, flora, fungi, and insects.
A couple notes; you’re more than free to submit multiple photos if you’d like, and there is no judgment on the quality of the photos. Just try your best to keep the camera as focused on the subject as possible. The event ends on August 24th, so get snapping! And most of all, have fun!
Our highly calibrated MoonWatch Radar indicates that activity coming from the Annual Gift Man’s base is already approaching usual December levels, and climbing! That can only mean EB no Matsuri has come early, and that can only mean one thing: time to prepare a feast for the Gift Man’s arrival! The beloved Starmen.Net tradition returns, but in a brand new form! Instead of gift giving, we would like to encourage everyone to come up with or find a MOTHER-series themed recipe, make it, and share the recipe and pictures of your delicious dish with everyone! It’s a virtual potluck, and everyone’s invited. (Can’t think of what to make? Make Your Favorite Food, of course, whatever it is!)
And now for our final announcement at this time… prepare yourselves for something very special!

can we, like, get donuts in the employee break room
" ["answer"]=> string(906) "I have been pushing for this for years, I tell ya! I heard back in the glory days, they offered a fantastic spread. I’m talking custard, boston cream, jelly-filled, some with a nice lemon glaze, cake for those so inclined, and of course, good old reliable glazed. Rumor has it that donuts were offered weekly, heck, I’ve even heard a few whispers of a daily haul! (sounds a bit farfetched though…)
While I can’t confirm one way or another, I heard the donut delights were pulled due to Jeff’s dad abusing the system and cleaning a majority of donuts for “the research team”. Apparently complaints about Doc reached higher management and it was easier to pull the perk rather than offer more dough. Not surprising, but maybe if we get enough traction around the office, we can knead some results and pull something together!
Free the donut! 🍩

So you know we love fan submissions, but did you know we still accept flukes and now memes? That’s right! If you want to share your creations, just click here or submit to the tumblr!
Today marks EarthBound’s 25th Anniversary and a quarter of a century later, here we are, still celebrating the game that started such a cult following in the west! While it may not be your favorite of the trilogy, it definitely has a special place in many fan’s hearts, my own included.
Whether you first encountered Ness in Smash Bros. or were fortunate enough to experience EarthBound first, this game has played an important role in many of our lives and is one of the main reasons we are all together today. Many mediums were inspired by this SNES classic and I think that’s pretty incredible.
Thank you all for making these 25 years special!
Do you have a favorite memory or moment of EarthBound? Please, share your experience! Here’s to another 25 years!

Good news, everyone!
To celebrate such important dates such as MOTHER’s 30th anniversary and EarthBound’s 25th, Starmen.Net is holding a special event!
Welcome to Chaotic Phase Distortion: A 30th Anniversary Funfest!
It seems that Dr. Andonuts has messed with the Phase Distorter a bit too much and now things have gotten all weird and mixed up! Everything seems fine to us but he insists that something is wrong and it needs to be fixed. And in order to do that, we need to play through the first two Mother games to make things right!
He’s provided us with the tools to make sure it’s all correct and so we’ll be streaming our progress through EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound! Join us on this journey through the Mother universe as we celebrate the anniversaries of these of two wonderful games! (I hope you guys didn’t forget that EarthBound recently turned 25 as well!)
And as always, we’re running contests and participation events!
Be sure to check out the Funfest board to participate in streams, fanworks contests, and even flukes! There will be prizes and all and all, it’ll be a fun time with other fans! Check it out!
Good day to all Starmen.netters! We’ve got a special announcement for you all: the official Starmen.net Discord is now live!
If you’re looking to have fun, casual conversations with your fellow Starmen members and Mother fans, feel free to join us in the Discord! Forum and Discord-based events will be announced here as well!
So if you’re ready to chill with us, the server is right this way!
Art!
Here’s my artwork of my take of Her Majesty, Queen Mary.
after all this time, i finally drew something that seems at least decent. i’m exposing myself to the mother series more after undertale & deltarune, and, well, here’s a result. paula’s got to be one of my favorites in the series.
p.s: mother 3’s music made me emotionally sick, but it’s worth it to go back again,
