    so a thread on twitter apparently dedicated to making fun of a person who said that murder is wrong, in the context of some current drama, got thrown my way for fuck-knows whatever reason. my morbid curiosity got me to sift through the replies and i came by this:

    https://twitter.com/x/status/1581902819007004673

    can please someone smarter and more social media literate tell me if this meme is satire or not? with the amount of horrible takes i've seen from twitterites and how facetious everyone in that particular thread is acting, it's really hard to tell for me.

    Big Joel is left-wing youtuber who posts really well-thought out video essays on stuff, so I recognize him for being ironic when he's posting something about a terminally online far-right troll

    "this unlikeable person should outright die for saying something bad and you're stupid for criticising my extremist views" suggests an attitude more fit for the middle ages. not exactly good publicity for his supposed well-thought out material.

    you're saying he's ironic but he must be covered in a hundred layers because i'm not really getting this vibe at this point. besides, no, you don't excuse batshit insane claims with "haha it was just a joke bro"

    Donkey Kong. Castlevania. Wario Land. Earthworm Jim.

    Why the hell am I so attracted to dead franchises.

    Good thing Metroid Dread came out last year or Metroid would've been up there too.

    That first line reminds me so much of the way I started my English paper with "Super Mario. 80s music. Fanfiction."

    With TVTropes excising their coverage on wiki sites, I'm reminded that I honest to god want to see a take on Super Mario Wiki from Encyclopedia Dramatica.

    (little me feeling super sad about this): Boo…now I'll never get to see anyone make a page on there about MCCW. The only notable thing about it other than the RP itself is a wiki on fandom that isn't even being edited that much. I wish more people on the web would talk about it outside of us Marioboards people! We need more recognition or else we won't get any reviews or merchandise deals!

    I want a Mario Party minigame where you have to imitate a belly-dancer's movements, Simon Says style, using motion controls.

    Question for native English speakers: how do you express, as colloquially as possible, that a drink doesn't quench your thirst? In Romanian, it would be (word for word transl., sort of) "it doesn't hold your thirst"; I'm wondering if something similar exists in English.

    I was once asked by people who don't speak my native language why I prefer bottled water over tap water; when I candidly replied, in English, that tap water "doesn't satisfy me" (simply because I wasn't aware of a less snobbish way to put it), they looked weird at me. I'd, uh, like to avoid situations like that in the future.

    not too bad, y'know! it becomes less frustrating if you learn to be vigilant and traipse through it. the mobile controls aren't a huge hindrance. getting the chaos emeralds beforehand helps a lot, too.

    Reminds me of the time I beat Sonic 1 (Game Gear) on the PDA. Those PDAs have a tiny analogue stick to which you control Sonic, as well as a button where you can press to make Sonic jump. The game's difficult meant that I usually used save states to beat it, so I can't say that I did it the proper way.

    Thank you for reading.

    Do you want a PINGAS? Or a Pipe Bomb? Or do you want a trollface? Maybe a rickroll?

    Need a good intro sentence for your game-related video essay? Just say "[game] is one of my fffavourrrite games of aaaall time. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's my favourite, period!", with emphasis in your speech.

    well, i still like Toadette.

    but if you start employing cloning shenanigans to make her the second most common NPC in the universe just so you can annoy me... i'll retaliate by asking Wario to Wario Waft the entire state of California, in addition to having him throw Birdo eggs on your walls. TRY ME

    "Carol of the Bells", barring the lyrics, honestly sounds to me like something you'd chant with your comrades as you ride into battle, not something you'd sing on Christmas.

    I drank pumpkin spice latte once in 2017 and I'm not embarrassed to affirm it's since been a personal favourite.

    Why the fuck is it only sold seasonally, though--and, more importantly, why do sellers NEVER seem to meet demand for it?! The reason I haven't had it since is because coffee bars are always fresh out of pumpkin spice whenever I go grab it. And I'm too lazy to prepare one myself but whatever. Talk about bad luck. It wasn't even that good, actually. Grumble, grumble...

    I love belgian waffles, we used to find packages of them in the dollar store so we got them occasionally

    Now they're being sold in Walmart for like 3-4 dollars I think?
    Which I guess is good since it means people liked them enough for it to be bumped up

    I'm curious how many are packaged at once and if the price is warranted relative to that.

    Anyway, Belgian waffles are great, but you can never go wrong with stroopfwafels. Dutch waffles, as in.

    Don't know if they're sold in the US, but they're never too expensive here. 1.65 bucks / 10 pieces. Be sure to put one above a steaming hot cup of tea/coffee so it gets a little softer. Or, you can eat it the way it is. Either way, it's heaven.

    i've seen belgian waffles, i know my city has a couple places with them as restaurant items (like a food truck that focuses on them, for example)

    dunno if i could get them out of the store though

    I'm currently pissed as hell. Why, you ask?

    Dusted off New Super Mario Bros. 2 and played on my old 5-shiny-stars save file. Out of boredom, I decided to use a certain trick that would increase my score quickly, which ended with me dying five times consecutively in a level. The White Super Leaf consequently appeared—now, I was mindful of the fact that it removes the shine in your save file stars, but this stupid IGN guide assured me that would only take effect if you pick up the leaf, which I didn't.

    Save game, quit game.

    Suddenly, the shine on my old save file is gone… And I DID NOT pick up the leaf.

    Oh, what a reprehensible world…

    In NSBMW that didn't happen.

    The best way to beat NSMBW without fear of losing shiny stars is to play in multiplayer, that's where the block doesn't show up at all.

    I did play NSMBW in multiplayer with Mario just floating in a bubble, because fuck playing as Mario, I want to be my modded Baby Luigi/Blue Toad.

    At that point, why not just mod the shiny stars in? 😄

    Might be a cheat that keeps shiny stars even when the super guide block pops up. Or you don't lose a life at all if you die.

    I remember a teacher in elementary school bringing up how Coca Cola is actually green before it's given the characteristic brown dye (which is a myth, by the way). Everyone in my classroom went "EEEWWW", which I found baffling because I woulda drunk that shit in a heartbeat—and I still would.

    I'd lived at the opposite end of the Black Sea from Georgia and Russia almost my whole life, but I never heard of this drink. It looks delicious!

    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the plants it's made of. Is it similar to any other, more widely commercialised drink?

    I drank tarragon before! I actually bought it from a Russian deli. It tasted like liquid liquorice and it was ectoplasm green!

    Video game essayists/critics and food analogies apparently go hand in hand like dry wine and blue cheese.

    "[GAME] is like a medium rare steak with rosemary, MEANWHILE [SEQUEL] is like a burger patty."

    Sometimes, it feels as though every word in the English vocabulary, on its own, has been used at least once as a title for a movie, book, or band.

    This is best illustrated when you search up an arbitrary word, and the first subject that's bound to be highlighted by Google's algorithm is a piece of media that has ascribed itself that word.

    O, First World, let thou squalid well of problems dry not.

    So, going off a handful of comments on Bob Hoskins' talk page, it seems the wiki hosted some, uh, kid-unfriendly ads in its early days, huh?

    I was here in 2009, every site had ads for Envony, which is pretty much spywares with lying boobs ads, though I suppose that could be the result of my parents going on "free movie" sites on my Wii browser
