I love this story of the funny 1up sound glitch in Super Mario Bros. 3
Someone mentioned Castlevania and I automatically found myself thinking of Your Asshole Dad’s Castle Is Back Again:

Temperamental divination.
So I've been doing two single-card draws from two different decks that were gifted to me a couple months ago. I ask the same question of each: "Through what point will my day take me?" Each deck has its own personality, so I end up with some interesting messages...
The Rainbow Unicorn Tarot is the snarky one. It loves to give reads that are accurate in oblique ways, and more often for specific moments than overall theme.
The Crystal Unicorn Tarot is the honest but slightly confused one. There's no telling whether the upright or reverse reading is the right one, but whichever it is will be significantly as a strong theme over the course of the day.
Today, Rainbow gave me the Wheel of Fortune.
Crystal gave me the Tower.
I dunno what that's gonna mean, but I feel like I should call what few relatives I have left to make sure everything's all right...
