tearing into the mod files for the mysummerdog addon and finding the funniest UV unwrap ive ever seen in my life

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

i have another thing planned but this one looked fun lol

im stealing an idea from geekcritique:
give me 5 dollars or more and ill make a very short video essay about your question or topic

The president keeps talking about how he knows he is going to hell and the material pleasures of life are just a balm for a wound growing deeper by the day. Which could be good or bad. It's impossible to say.

but also i feel weird bc i dont see myself in this picture

story: I had a collection of some mangled renditions of SMB 1-1 BGM that id been making just because they're funny.
generating some janky ai marios for the album art crossed my mind but didn't feel right, even 4 years ago.
so i drew the worst mario i could.
that decision feels better every day.
