I'm gonna try to 100% mario kart world, and nothing will stop me, no matter how insane this will be

Merry Christmas!

My parents just gaslit me and messed with me SO HARD this morning but it's all good!

There were three strikes and seven presents to go through (it will be obvious why at the end)

Bananza was in the second present I opened, wrapped into a pair of pants, and my hopes skyrocketed. I didn't ask for S2 for Christmas, but y'know. They said they got the wrong Donkey Kong, which is understandable because of all the different ones. My eyebrow dropped a bit after that.

Then, Sonic Shadow Generations (Switch 2) was in the fourth present, below another pair of pants and wrapped in bubble wrap. Eyebrow height increased by 25%. They said they just bought the wrong version.

In the one after that, a Switch 2 carrying case. Hmmmm. It was the only one they could find, they said. Eyebrow raised so high it could be touching the roof.

Then the one they said to open last. Amazon box. Switch 2. They messed with me so hard, and apparently the path to get it was ridiculous at target, but I really appreciate it now lol

Merry Christmas Eve! It's a Christmas miracle I managed to win this run and find a synergy in cards, and in one hand no less


So I'll explain the Jokers in play here, from left to right:
Photograph doubles the Multiplier for the first face card scored
Hiker permanately adds 5 Chips to every card scored
Blueprint copies the ability of the Joker to its right, if compatible (Hanging Chad)
Hanging Chad retriggers the first scored card as well as any other Jokers triggered by it twice (so Blueprint makes it 4 repeats or 5 total redos)
Abstract adds 3 Mult for every Joker you have (so 21), but it was disabled by the Boss here
Crazy adds 12 Mult if you played a Straight
Burning levels up the first hand you discard (so if you discard a Pair, it upgrades the Pair which increases later points)
So yeah a deck with lots of face cards caused that

Merry Christmas Eve Eve. I lost another game on the Pirate board by one stud, and the CPU made sure to chance time one brick away from me to the guy in second, and the game ended with that guy with 3 stars and 187 studs, and me with 3 stars and 186. Why are they so evil on the board but they can't compute in minigames lol

Man, LEGO Party's Pirate board is evil. I'm going against EASY CPU's (learning still) and losing horribly because an event that, with an increasing toll, fires off something at a random other player, which can knock a Star (golden brick really, but eh) off of you to another space, so you lose 50 bucks and give someone a star for free. Then in the same turn I get my money stolen, and get hit by another chicken, so there goes my Brick and 75% of my money in one turn to easy CPUs. This game's so difficult in cases, but I love it anyway as my first departure party game since Mario Party

After getting Sonic Racing Crossworlds yesterday (my first racing game I've gotten in a few years, only other besides MK is CTR on Switch), its safe to say that I like this game's gimmicks and the way it differentiates itself. I mean I never expected there to be a choice to make in the middle of a race if you're ahead at the end of Lap 1. Already done 3 cups with a rival on Lvl. 4 each time, on the slowest speed though

Well its been quite the year, so I decided to start a new lil tradition: birthday posts being about my past year.

(clip taken from a Pizza Tower humor video)

Best way I could describe it is with one quote from Berdly from Deltarune: "Time's-a pretty good, time's-a pretty bad."

The first part of my year was pretty rough, finishing out middle school and dealing with bullies galore, while also gaining a trigger for that anger because of all the brainrot words they used, which is why I get triggered by that so easily. I don't remember much else about the first half, but this stuck the most. I passed classes, graduated middle school, and got to move on to my summer, which was pretty uneventful. I think I remember 100%ing Pizza Tower around then and finding out about the Necrodancer series and other games through it.

The second half was much, much better. Continuing onward through my Necrodancer saga, I beat both games (just barely on Crypt ) and continued to get better at them, like taking high scores on my favorite tracks and reaching the skill required to beat Impossible tracks. I made some awesome friends through my new school's esports program (who are still awesome to this day) and got to play some more games I love more and more by the day. Balatro, Celeste, Just Shapes and Beats, more I can't easily recall or haven't beaten. What's more, I'm officially back into writing 'Shroom articles (I NEED TO GET TO WORK LOL) and I can't wait for the future on that. I also got to experience Deltarune Chapter 1 and 2 for the first time with little spoilers, so that's great.

Not sure much about the further future, but I hope more like the latter half is to come. I'll be learning how to drive more soon (which I am not fond of, but I can do it) and hopefully starting to develop my own games. I also hope to learn to speedrun more, and who knows, maybe a spot in the top 1000 eventually in Odyssey, if I can get my capture card working? If I do, I will officially start making videos as well, but that's a bit up to straws until later on my birthday.

Other than that, thank you all for being here for me the times I needed it. I'm tearing up a bit about it as I type, but here's to all the more years here, there, and everywhere!

Reach for the Summit from Celeste has become my new inspiration kind of song, kind of like how when I listen to Unexpectancy Part 3 and it motivates me and I get better at stuff

Nothing like finding a glitch in Odyssey while doing my practice run


I struggled to find the Corridor Beneath the Floor, so that's why the moon count is at 7 when it should be at 5

Ah the duality of Among Us.

Working with someone (and almost carrying the round to fix some blunders)

Begging for my life in a situation where I saw the same person self and am begging for my life to the remaining player (who believed me)

Now that I've perfected Matriarch on Impossible (here's a video of an example, they did way better than me but there are different servers between platforms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsM4UzccrNc), I want to try something new. Should I try to learn the routing to speedrun Mario Odyssey, or something else besides that?

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of my high score on Rift, ported directly between console and computer!

I made a Sporcle about Cascade Kingdom's moons, but every name is Google Translated 10 times. Try it out here, there's some crazy ones lmao https://www.sporcle.com/games/Fizzle1491/translated-cascade

I think the main reason Balatro makes me happy is because it turns the gears that have been running in my head for a lot of my life. Most of my school time, I've had various math problems running through my head (of varying difficulty) and even have memories of it stopping sometimes. Balatro makes that part of my mind get excited, because I can calculate those numbers somewhat before playing them and hit big Chip totals
