the Mario & Luigi series has some great writing

nothing in particular prompted this. I was just reminded of the Oho Jee who says something along the lines of "Eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity eebity BLEEB"

truly excellent writing.

I really should do a vgm selection on this sometime

there are fascinating things about this piece both from a musical and a technical standpoint--if you just go by its published specifications the SID (the C64's sound chip) wouldn't be able to play this at all, lots of it was made using an actual hardware bug

(this is the Tetris music for the commodore 64 version of Tetris, by the way. It's not Korobeiniki and it's fantastic. Not earworm-y, but legitimately good music.)

is it just me, or is it really weird that virginia was, instead of being named after a person, named after the fact that a particular person had never had sex?

people are talking about nintendo direct and we never actually watch those because of reasons and I just keep seeing people say things like "mario maker" and "dragon quest" and even just "oh this looks cool" with no context whatsoever

The Opportunity rover’s final message from Mars was “My battery is low and it is getting dark.”

NO I’M NOT CRYING OVER A SPACE ROBOT SHUT UP

A ton of people is actually only about a dozen people.

Gryphons of weird combinations are Good. I still want to see a bat-eared fox / flying fox gryphon.

because a) bats are like birds but not and foxes are like cats but not and b) it's a bat named after a fox and a fox named after a bat

Friends and fellow cyclists.
Consider using just steady lights instead of blinking ones. I am epileptic and have to bike everywhere to get around. Blinking lights, at best, give me a searing headache, and at worst a seizure.
Yes, it may take more battery or more charge power, but you are Still visible and not hurting people's heads and putting them at risk.

Thanks.

I had a thought many years ago about how weird it is that the phrase “raised by wolves” is used to refer to someone who lacks social skills, because real wolves actually have strong and complex social relationships.

have you ever read someone's message complaining about heavy snowfall, misread it as from someone else entirely, and then wonder what apocalypse just befell Australia?
