  • I'm happy to report that I now have bright red hair.

    (at least in the front, most of my hair is black but that's just to help accent the red)

    Black with bright red in the front does sound like a stylish hairdo. What cut is it in, if you don't mind me asking?

    I don't know what to call it. I don't know the cosmetology words so all I can tell you is that I get the sides cut pretty short but keep the top a little longer.

    All good, that's enough for me to be able to get a mental image of what it looks like.
    I know there's a Fail Award for Nintendo's worst business moves but I feel like there should be one for decisions in specific games that are just completely incomprehensible. Things like introducing tank controls into SM64DS, making battle maps out of regular tracks in the original MK8, bringing back the car in MP10 after no one liked it in 9, or leaving Galaxy 2 out of 3D All Stars.

    I've played Mario Party 9 and 10 rather extensively and I can assure you, the car is not good. It's really fun to strategize your moves in Mario Party and the car entirely takes that away because the entirety of what you can strategize is whether to go left or right if you happen to be captain at the intersection. 10 having the best minigames and music... I'm not so sure about that either. It has its moments but I wouldn't call it the best in the whole series.

    However, I do agree that 9 and 10 look really good. 9 looks a little crunchier than what came after it because Wii but they definitely nailed the style.

    I'm unreasonably passionate about this, I know. Spending like 50 hours or something ridiculous like that on a video script about Mario Party will do that to me.
    Shoutout to this one particular gnat who's been bothering me for the last week or two, at least.
    I realized today that I'm going to have to make lecture outlines for all my class periods once I start teaching. I know that's just a part of the job but it's going to be so uninteresting.

    I just know that my least favorite part of the actual teaching process is going to be preparing outlines and handouts beforehand but if I don't come prepared, my ADHD will start teaching and my class will get absolutely nothing done.
    I'm sure this is a Xenforo thing and not something our staff could do anything about but why does the "you can't change your username yet" message say "You can change your username after X date" and give the last day and can't change it instead of "You can change your username on Y date" and give me the date I can change it?

    I'm sure this is just petty semantics but I come from I field of study where we do everything we can you avoid stating things in needlessly roundabout ways.
    My dreams are always incomprehensible but I genuinely think the one I just had was the most feverish dream I've had in a while.

    I have the dumbest soft spot for early to mid 2010s pop music. I don't care if it's not objectively good, I'm just a sucker.

    What would be the word for the state of being otherkin? Would it be otherkinism? Otherkinness?

    Otherkinship.

    No, I've got no clue.
    I'm replaying Miitopia on a different save file and I'm being reminded just how much of a drag the first part is. So much of it is just doing laps back and forth from Greenhorne Castle to do various people's busy work and it is so dull.
    Technically, you could still review the Wii Shop Channel as long as you're okay with your only sources of content being the Wii U Transfer Channel and the Twilight Princess Update Channel.

    The update channel fixes that permanent softlock that you can get relatively easily in Twilight Princess (as far as I know, I've never played Twilight Princess) and I'm pretty sure Nintendo never made another channel like it.

    It's the final enemy in my journal (not the Iron General, no one cares about him) and I went into the fight, immediately closed the game, recast the abducted friend as myself, and then actually did the fight.

    There's something kinda funny about the idea that I'm finishing my monster journal in the same place the game starts.
    Either no one saw or no one bothered to get rid of the wasp that I ran away from the other day even after one of my classmates killed it.

    I clicked on an MSBT file to open it and it didn't open so I clicked on the program itself to open it and it still didn't open.
    Look, I don't care if the official title is "Gonna Make You Sweat," that's not what I or anyone else calls it. Let's just all collectively agree that the real title is Everybody Dance Now and that C&C Music Factory got their own title wrong.

    Well technically it's called Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

    Presumably because someone realized during the process that oh yeah, "everybody dance now" is the most recognizable lyric in the song.

    I'm 6'7" and 300 something pounds but I just had to bail from class like a wuss because there was a wasp flying around the room.
    So I had some kind of software issue that made my 3DS think I changed the time to March 29, 2050 so I set it back to today, but now all my islanders seem to think it's actually been 25 years since they last saw me even though it was like, half a day at most.

    If it happened on your 3DS, then your islanders would actually be villagers, since the 3DS Animal Crossing is called New Leaf, which takes place in a town rather than on an island like its Switch 1 successor, called New Horizons. 🤓☝️

    That's great and all but they are definitely called Islanders in Tomodachi Life :)

    Ohhhh, my bad. I thought you were talking about Animal Crossing, since in those games, characters will also comment on the absence of your characters for prolonged periods of time. 😂
    I got custom Miis working in Wii Sports Club 👏👏👏

    I'm not the first person to do this but with all the tech it required to get to this point, I'm proud of myself for it.
    I think my fears about breaking the back plate of my 3DS from taking it off so much are justified when the little rings that hold the screws in place have broken and now the screws don't like going in properly.
    Someone at Ubisoft didn't proofread Wheel of Fortune because in one of the trivia factoids, they say "bankrupt wegdes" [sic].
    Public transit continues to win. I got to all the places I needed to go today just by taking the bus around my area.
