I never thought I'd ever go to a real gaming or hobby convention. It never really seemed like it would be much up my alley. But now that we're less than a month from MAGFest... I'm unbelievably excited. It almost feels like I'm counting the days until my flight. It cannot come sooner.

I gave myself a checklist of things to get done this weekend, and I wrote the word "ears." I have no idea what that means. Please, Kirby of a few days ago, please explain to me what the fuck that means.

I have recently come to realize that I actually really like romance as a genre.

i have successfully gotten a friend diving into the deep end of doctor who soon you will all join me

It's still wild for me to think that I wrote a fanfic earlier this year. It may be a joke fic, but I put effort into it. I never really think of myself as a creative person, so I never thought that I'd release something like this.

I think we're far enough away from Kamen Rider Gavv to say that Shoma/Hanto is my favorite toku ship of all time. That, or it's a close battle between them and Domon/Honami from Timeranger.

Meeting somebody for the first time, and the very first thing they ask me is "So, how did you start speedrunning 5 Hot Dogs?" My reputation precedes me.

I just finished watching A Man and His Cat and it is INCREDIBLE. One of my favorite TV series that I've watched. It's so unbelievably heartwarming, and it made me emotional almost every episode. Masao Kusakari gives one of my favorite performances that I've ever seen. It's just... immaculate.

I just finished Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved, and it is incredible. Aside from what I mentioned in my previous post, the story is just incredible and unravels so beautifully. The characters feel so much richer and better realized than we usually get from this genre. Just amazing.

getting invested in a storyline in gozyuger feels like going to kick lucy's football. it's gonna be pulled out from under me, and i should have realized it each time.

they call it a straight flush, because when you get that poker hand, you should just FLUSH it STRAIGHT into the toilet

you need to watch Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko

You should know that whenever a student in one of my classes makes a six-seven joke, at least four other students will loudly tell them to shut up.

In the original, 1963 run of Doctor Who, writers owned the characters and monsters that they created for the episodes that they wrote. With the exception of characters explicitly created to be recurring, if the BBC wanted to reuse the characters or monsters, they have to pay the original writers.

Youtube Recap: The channels I watched the most, the songs I listened to the most, and the musical artists I listened to the most.

I don't know what it means that the best years of my life have been 2016, 2020, and 2025. I feel like these have all been pretty horrendous years for most people living in the US, but they've all been pretty spectacular for Kirby.

oh my god not 2 days before release www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLIv...

I baked some cookies! :D

My 20s have been an absolutely incredible time in my life. I graduated college and started my dream job, and it only feels better and better with each passing day. I've gotten into several hobbies that have enhanced my life so much, such as speedrunning and fansubbung. My life is incredible.

i don't know about you but i'm feeling 30

Maybe this is weird to say, but I've had a pretty good experience with my insurance providers this year.

I'm only two chapters in, but I'm really enjoying Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved. It feels like a perfect mix of Hotel Dusk and Famicom Detective Club. The soundtrack is amazing. The mystery is intriguing. I'm invested in the main character's story arc, which is rare for this genre.

I need to play more retro games tbh

Just finished the NES game Adventures of Lolo, and it was pretty fun! Fun little simple, cozy puzzle game. I played this a bit as a kid when I got into emulation, but it felt great to finally finish it as an adult.

I recently finished Peacemaker, and I LOVED it. Exactly my type of television. The characters are all amazing and have insanely good chemistry. The story is wonderful. The pacing is incredible. The comedy is hilarious. I do not have enough good things to say about it.

Playing Kirby Air Riders with a group of friends on voice chat when my name is Kirby is an experience.

Me: "Hey Jacko, you should play Sonic 1 GBA." @jackosr.bsky.social : "Why would I torture myself by doing that?" Me: "Because I told you to." And two days later... I have immense power over my friends.

We need a compilation of raocow reacting to Big Boo sprite edits.

aw fuck dude not you again

I don't repost memes. I laugh at them, and then think about which of my friends would enjoy the meme the most, and individually send it to them.

I think Mixed Nuts (The first OP from SPY x FAMILY) would be in the top tier of my favorite songs of all time, but the official music video is just... so bad. It so utterly fails the captures the vibe in any way. It feels like it doesn't even fit the rhythm of the song. Sours the song a little bit.

Kirby Air Riders is good.

And there we go, 5 Hot Dogs% world record in Kirby Air Riders in 38 seconds! For various reasons, this is *significantly* easier to grind than the first game, and for reasons you might not have expected. That said, I grinded this category for more than 15 hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2LX...

Got my first hot dog chamber, giving me a 50 second 5 Hot Dogs time! Technically there was a faster hot dog chamber recorded during the Global Test Ride, so I've got more grinding to go. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=D29M...

The Kirby Air Riders hot dog grind has begun.

They put Waddle Dee in jail! D:

Next Saturday, @jackosr.bsky.social will be running Shadow the Hedgehog for Games Done Quick's Disability and Neurodivergence Special, and I will be providing commentary! Make sure you tune in!

why do they keep putting spongebob in racing games when one of his defining character traits is his inability to drive

I just finished reading the manga for She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat, and I'm not going to go more into it, as I already did in this thread below, but I love it so much, and for very different reasons than I love the live-action adaptation. I'm really gonna miss this series. 😭

Do any of you all have game soundtracks that you love, but struggle listening to casually because they bring up so many emotions? Minecraft has one of the best soundtracks of all time, but I can't put it on as background music, because I genuinely get so caught up with nostalgia that I can't focus.

would you believe me if i said that i've convinced my parents to start calling me kirby

Conspiracy Theory: The superstition about walking under ladders was made up by people on ladders to prevent people from walking under their ladders.

people are focusing on the scary part ("AI-generated") but why, why on Earth, would I want content "from users"

Number of toku actors who went on to star in a gay romance: Four.

Been thinking more about She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat. I've started reading the original manga, and while I still *love* it, it's not the emotional powerhouse that made me cry almost every episode. I've been thinking about what I loved so much about the series, and how the manga differs.

Now that I've seen Talons, it's going to be a WHILE until I get back to the television show. For those new to following me, as I've been watching the classic era of Doctor Who for the first time, I've also been listening to every EU story released on audio, chronologically with the show's timeline.

why is it snowing in november in georgia

Fun fact, while I haven't streamed Planet Zoldath in a while, when I'm playing in my personal time, I'm recording and constantly providing commentary as if I'm streaming. Nobody gets to listen to this commentary, but you know. The commentary exists.
