For the last three month, I've done nothing but watch games of the social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower, and today I went to an in-person meet-up to play for the first time! And oh my god, it is so fun! Absolutely chaotic and overwhelming in the best of ways. I might do this regularly!

i feel like i'm insane as i drop hurricane from my mega dragonite for rain dance, on my team which already has rain dance as a move on a politoed with drizzle

I submitted UFO 50 to SGDQ with two other runners as a showcase, so imagine my EMOTIONS when I saw the other two runners in the list, thinking that must mean our showcase made it in, only for it to JUST be the other two runners. 😭

Having to drive 50 miles to and from work every day might mean that I have a long commute, but at least it means that I never run into students outside of work.

Student: "I hope somebody eats your eraser one day."

Master Ball rank in Pokemon Champions! My friends have always said that I'd be good at VGC, and my win rate has been VERY good, so maybe they're right!

I have filed a legal petition to change my name to Kirby.

"MGK stands for 'My GOAT Kelly.'" I say as multiple people scream at me to shut the fuck up.

I've become an expert on changing clothes in my car.

My social life has exploded over the last year, to the point that I am now planning a party for next month.

why is castform in pokemon champions lol

I don't I ever mentioned here that I watched season 2 of Beast Games with a friend specifically to make fun of it. It was a very miserable watch, but it is occasionally hilarious just how incompetent of a production it was. So much of it is just fundamentally broken.

"Thousandths" is the hardest math word to say.

Saw this arcade machine from a distance, and I briefly thought that Harley Quinn was rocking a GIANT pair of balls.

A new level of hell has been reached: I received an email response from a parent of a failing student that reads like it was AI generated.

I am now fully caught up on seven of Dropout's currently airing shows, to give you an idea of just how much content I've consumed from them this year. That is 20 seasons of television, not even counting the 7 additional seasons of other shows. Dropout's content is so good, y'all.

Committed psychological torture on @chongosky.bsky.social while playing Mario Kart.

There are two truths in this world: 1) Mario 64 Mario is a whimsical cryptid. 2) Melee Mario is racist.

eventually, i want all of the rotoms in the pokemon world to unionize

The Mario Galaxy Movie was... fine. The story had basically no substance of any kind, and essentially just existed to justify the action setpieces, but I kind of expected that from the posts I read, and the action setpieces were fun enough. I liked it fine, I guess.

Played a bit of Super Meat Boy 3D, and it's really fun! It's kind of wild seeing a 3D platformer also be a precision platformer, but this combination activates every single neuron in my brain to release as much dopamine as possible. I'm honestly loving it so far.

Me a week ago: "There is no chance I go to see the Mario Galaxy movie." Me now, after being invited to watch it with friends: "okay but what if i cosplayed at the mario galaxy movie"

This happened again today, and the student just *could not* figure out that the answers were printed on the page. She asks where they are, and I just smile and say that they're on the page! She's just looking at me confused, thinking that I'm messing with her in some way. (Which was correct, I was.)

"What is gooning?" my boss asks during our lunch break, who is asking because of a student who came to school wearing a shirt that says "I ❤️ gooning."

Thinking about getting into something new that would be SO fun, but would eat up a LOT of my time. I can't help but feeling that I'd have zero regret if I decided to take the dice, so why am I not just doing this RIGHT NOW? This is about improv. I'm thinking of taking some improv comedy classes.

Pokopia is EXTREMELY overwhelming to play. There's SO MUCH to do at any given time, that choosing to do any one thing is stressful. It's an absolute thrill to play, but after turning the game off after a few hours, I find myself shaking a little bit. It's a lot.

Kamen Rider Gavv (2024) Episode 8

4 episodes into Gavan Infinity and... I don't get it. There's something so uncanny about this series. The multiverse aspect of this show removes any potential grounding this series could have and makes it hard to get invested in any given episodic story. The cop-ness of it all also doesn't help.

After two-and-a-half years... we finally released the next batch of subbed episodes for HadoGumi!! The delay is pretty much entirely on me. It'll likely be a while until the next batch, unfortunately, but I'm glad to finally push this out to the world.

Two days in, and it is absolutely CRAZY how good Pokopia is. Absolutely incredibly crafted from every single aspect of its design. It's so compelling to get lost in this game's sea of tasks. While the Dragon Quest Builders inspiration is obvious, the ways this game sets itself apart are amazing.

These first few days of Pokopia's launch has been the first time that I have consistently used handheld-mode for either the Switch 1 or 2. Getting to play it a little bit during breaks at work, or when riding in someone's car. Before now, I almost entirely played in docked. I finally see the vision.

Played about 30 minutes of Pokopia between classes and it's so lovely. It really is just Pokemon's Dragon Quest Builders, and that's just such a lovely combination. It's oozing charm. I cannot wait to really sink my teeth into this.

a history teacher trying to hip with the kids: "threescore and seven years ago..."

My Doctor Who thread has slowed down significantly compared to the last two years. I have a lot more stuff I'm listening to during my 2.5 hours driving a day. I've also been listening to Dimension 20, the I'm in Love with the Villainess audiobooks, and the podcast Off-Book: The Improvised Musical.

I just had a student who skipped my class today ask if she could stay after school for tutoring.

student just randomly said "konnichiwa" to me in the middle of class, and then immediately fell over because he walked into his desk

My gaming hot take that I've felt stronger about over time is that I HATE unlocking things in competitive multiplayer games. I demand to be able to play the full game from the second I boot it up. Mario Party? No unlocking boards. Fighting Games? Give me my characters. Mario Kart? My vehicles, now.

Once again, @qlurian.bsky.social and I have watched every 2025 movie nomined for Worst Picture. Here are our picks for the "winners" to each category at the Razzies. Red are my picks, and blue are Qlurian's.

I don't know why Errant Signal isn't a bigger YouTuber than he is. I think he's one of the best video game essayists on the site. His writing and narration is incredible, and I particularly love the insight he brings into his criticisms. Very thoughtful and concise critique. youtu.be/txAUh3M_7Jk?...

You know, it's funny, I feel like I can fall on either extreme end, based on the people I'm with. If I'm with online folks, then speedrunning, blindfolded runs, and fansubs is a lot of cool stuff that makes me look cool. Among "normal" people, it feels like all I do is play games and watch TV.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

I've had this last week off work, and boy has it just been the BUSIEST week I've had in a long long time. I had so many engagements and outings. It was such an abnormally social week for me. It fucking rocked.

Me: "If girls go to Venus and boys go to Jupiter, where do enbies go?" Razz: "Hell."

After watching so much Dropout, it's given the urge to go to an actual improv show, and I have to say: Improv comedy fucking rocks.

AQUARIUM

oh my god what is @razzbexxa.bsky.social doing in my car
