Every now and then, I think of the toad in Paper Mario: The Origami King who slipped in a Kafka reference after getting rescued. I hope he found his niche.

Cool that shitposting on Discord will require the same bureaucratic verification procedures as crossing international borders.

They're a month late, but who's keeping track in this timeline anyway.

Both.

Attempting to do cardio in -12 °C weather has its own charm.

I used to play all of Warpuppy's cape levels in Maker 1, but it seems that it has been very underused in this game, at least for kaizo.

Short SMM2 10s time attack compilation.

Got this for Christmas. My inner tween is ecstatic.

The only Christmas tradition that truly matters.

A Hallmark Christmas movie, but the small-town baker continuously refers to himself as an "entrepreneur," a habit that ultimately drives the girl away.

Our descent into madness continues unabated.

Very witty, unfortunately I'm afraid that posting the Buscemi "How do you do, fellow kids" meme template in response would be perceived as uncool anno 2025.

The journalist dispatched to report on this also exhibited signs of emotional strain by the end of the coverage after the acting bit.

I have never experienced such a profound sense of violation from watching 2 minutes of content before. Truly a shit circus that will be enshrined in historical memory.

Gianni Infantino is the Lord Farquaad of the sports world.

Back from a long hiatus - albeit somewhat disoriented and behind. The pace of online discourse, it seems, has moved on without me and it is now necessary for me to explore the underlying reasons behind the comedic appeal of a certain sequence of numbers. Here's to re-entering the fray, I guess.

They had a tiny brass ensemble greeting you at the halfway point, lol. It was kind of surreal having people cheer for you from the sidelines, as if you were pulling off something extraordinary.

Thanks! The best advice I can offer for long-distance running is to disengage from critical thought entirely and immerse yourself in music that will help occupy your mind for the duration of the run. Somehow, an aggressive 2000s psytrance playlist did wonders for my stamina.

I participated in an annual 13.3 km run yesterday, marking the longest distance I've completed without walking. I finished with a time of 1 hour and 25 minutes, and considering I’ve barely done any cardio over the past few months, I’m quite happy with the result.

Every day, I am truly grateful that my parents are smart enough not to let an AI assistant make decisions for them.

I dreamed that the "stomp, clap, hey!" millennial-core burger chain music genre made an unforeseen comeback.

It turns out that the BoTW labyrinth theme still sucks to fully memorize. Funnily enough, most other odd time signature VGM has been quite easy to relearn.

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to pick up piano playing on an advanced level again. Life has been pretty hectic recently and prevented me from dedicating time to practice, but I am now finally making a concerted effort to regain my muscle memory.

I need to stop using meme jargon when replying to people who aren't terminally online. It appears that not everyone is familiar with the cultural phenomenon of "stonks," even when articulated in its most unadulterated and unambiguous form.

At least we get to purchase Mario Galaxy for the 3rd time.

Final Fantasy merch is generally a rare sight here, but I found this chocobo chain in a bookstore the other day.

Team0% time attack.

The evil you swore to end now dwells within you.

If anyone is into musical minimalism, I'd recommend giving the Yume Nikki soundtrack a listen. All songs are <10s, but they have an unsettling and Lynchian atmosphere that no other soundtrack aside from Majora's Mask and Earthbound has come close to conveying imo. Very unique for the genre.
