I just finished watching the second season of Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko. While I thought the first season was pretty good, the second season is a MASSIVE improvement. The first few episodes are HILARIOUS, and the drama of the second half felt so much more real.

The best part about speedrunning is bopping your friends.

I worry that I'm updating my Doctor Who media thread too often right now as I'm reading through a short story collection, but also like... I have the tag for a reason. If people were annoyed, they probably would have muted the tag by now. (I hope so, at least.)

(Playing American Truck Simulator) Yeah, sorry I was almost late with your package. I suddenly noticed I could take a scenic route around this mountain path, but then I fell off a cliff and heavily damaged my truck and your goods. Luckily, I got towed, and still made your delivery in time!

I just finished watching Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games and... it was okay. I didn't like it very much. There's some fun moments, but it all felt so trite despite it's novel premise. The themes are so basic, yet it also feels constantly confused by its own themes. It shouldn't be this dull.

Pride was fun, but more importantly, I got to hang out with my friends while around a bunch of queer folks. :D

Friend: "Have you ever seen so many queer people in one place before?" Me: "Yeah, I've been to a speedrunning event."

At pride!! :D

Trains are awesome. I don't get the chance to ride trains very often, but I always love it.

I'm opening a box of staples to fill up my stapler, when one of the sets of staples pushes itself out immediately. I'm like, "Wow, you must be really eager to be my next set of staples! Well alright then, little one, you can go next :)" as I gently place them in the stapler and give them a nice pat.

Donbrothers has been frying me literally every episode is way funnier than it has any right to be

In class today, I showed a video today that I recorded five years ago. All anybody commented on was how different I look now. One student said I sound more like a girl now, which is so funny. I guess not having a beard just manipulates people into thinking I sound more feminine?

me, not wanting to do chores: i'm the best house cleaner in all of japan out of nowhere, ken hayakawa:

Finally watched the first three episodes of Kamen Rider Zeztz, and I am *super* on board with this. The vibes are off the charts, and there are some really interesting plot ideas being set up. The Kamihoriuchi difference baybeeeee

I feel like the developers need to work on a new Azurillkirby patch. There are some features that have been broken for years that REALLY need to be ironed out.

Apparently, our internet service provider received a copyright complaint and forwarded it to us regarding me streaming Peacemaker over a private discord call with a friend. What the fuck?

Just watched The Onion's Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. Greatest documentary of all time. That pedophile sure could dunk. At the theatrical screening was also a screening of The Onion's Sex House, which is absolutely as good as everybody makes it out to be.

The simple joys of teaching: Students asking where the answer key for the assignment is, I hand them this, and they're like, "But the answers aren't on this..." until they slowly realize the answers are burned in. That moment of confusion is amusing every single time.

Do you think that whenever a viral phrase gets created, the creators think about how much high schoolers will quote it for no reason and annoy their teachers? (My students will not stop saying "six seven.")

I'm about to watch four movies in theaters over the next four days. In the last decade, I have only watched four movies in theaters in total.

Friend: "Have you played any Final Fantasy games?" Me: "Let's see... well, I've played Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special... also Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable... oh yeah, and Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary."

I've been playing a lot of American Truck Simulator lately, which has led to me to a terrible realization Something that I've secretly known, but been afraid to admit for years: I like driving.

ace doctor ace doctor ace doctor

I just finished watching There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... and it's pretty alright? The characters are all great, especially Rena. However, there were many moments in the narrative that just straight up felt uncomfortable to watch, and not in a good way.

Student 1: "Yeah, so this lady was released from jail, and then she killed her mother and her sister and the rest of her family..." Student 2: "Womp womp."

War of the Worlds 2025 is a horrible, hilarious movie. It's definitely one of the funniest bad movies I've ever seen, but I feel a little urge to defend it. It's absolutely not good, but I found myself getting genuinely invested every once in a while. It's awful, but it's not irredeemably bad.

Me, sitting in a car after playing American Truck Simulator for four hours: "This is just like driving in American Truck Simulator."

I feel like my dreams have been getting more and more vivid lately, which feels SUPER weird. More and more, I'm having to anchor myself back to reality when I wake up, which feels harder than it used to be.

I haven't played that many new games from 2025, but there are four games coming out in the next 2.5 months that I really want to play. (Lego Party, Once Upon a Katamari, Kirby Air Riders, and Detective Instinct: Farewell My Beloved) So that's exciting.

A student showed me his Pokemon Emerald team today and asked me if it was good. His team was Swampert, Lairon, Skarmory, and Zigzagoon. I told him to his face that his team sucked.

Just watched a YouTube video about a guy breaking the record for the longest Mario Party game of all time (1154 turns, played for like a week straight) and my stupid ass was like "I bet I could beat that." This has the chance of becoming 5 Hot Dogs all over again.

This student wrote "Name" where their name should be. 1000 IQ

My brain is so broken that when Smooth Criminal came on the radio, my brain automatically inserted the GameCube opening jingle. youtu.be/VlmDPC6ai4Y?...

A few months ago, one of the Pokemon VGC casters, casting a match, said, "And he just punched his ticket to a game two!" after a player won a game. I have not stopped thinking about it since. All matches are best of three. All matches go to a game two. Their ticket was already punched.

Went to get a leaking tire patched up on Saturday, only to wake up today to find the tire completely flat. 🫠

hear me out: transfem jamie mccrimmon from doctor who

Everybody is like "nagito jumpscare," but I clocked it as being Danganronpa 2 as soon as I saw their subtitle before the announcement as "A killer return to paradise." Anyway, the idea of a new scenario with the sane characters sounds AWESOME to me. I'm really excited for the new game.

Finally finished with this book! Perfect timing, too, because I'm feeling VERY eager to get back on the Doctor Who full-cast audio plays. I've got plenty of 4th Doctor stories before the next serial, as well as some new releases to catch up on, such as the new River Song or the First Doctor Unbound.

So I was *going* to play Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, but Walmart canceled my order and refunded my money. And now I'm learning that the developer of Psycho Waluigi released an original game? That he's been working on for over 10 years? FOR FREE? I'm getting on Psycutlery immediately.

I've finally found a clothing style that I actually really like. Something that actually makes me feel good to wear. I never thought I'd ever feel GOOD about the clothes I wear. Wild feeling.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

For all zero of you wondering why the Doctor Who thread has been on pause, I have a Fourth Doctor novel that I have been listening to... very slowly. It's a great book, but I just haven't been in the mood to listen to it very often, and I'm too stubborn to move on until I finish it.

The student kept asking me this over and over again until I just said it was him to get him to stop. Later, he got in trouble, so I told him that I was revoking his title. "No! You can't do that, Mr. [Kirby]! I'm the skibidi-est! That's not fair! I'm the skibidi-est!"

Student: "Mr. [Kirby], I have a question for you. Skibidi skibidi on the wall, who is the skibidi-est of them all? It's me, right?"

Honestly, I haven't been feelin' Silksong. Nothing against the game, but rather that I just don't think that my current Gaming Mood supports such a massive Metroidvania. I'd rather play something with actual levels. You know what I do have the urge to play, though? Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Every time I try to enable "Adult Content" on Bluesky, it immediately disables it as soon as I leave the menu. Not that I care that much, since I'm super ace and do not consume "adult content." But because it won't *let* me have it, now I want it! Let me have it!
