It’s just like grandma’s house in here. We’re getting pickled.

1-2 tonight. ORIGANE TIDELINE LANTERN HAVIOUr and FErVIDLY were mine. Matt had a fairly sick opening bingo of Q(U)aTORZe. Heidi's UNGRAVED* came off. Lost to Heidi by choosing to empty the bag with IAMBI, holding a blank. Challenged off COPA*, and drew both blanks to cruise in to a win vs Shafique.

1) Hyperkin with Mayflash SNES to USB adapter to be used on a Mac. Needed to find and install a driver and then type a specific command in the command line to stop Launchpad from opening whenever I pressed select. Controller is stiff and clicky, and often a frame too late for kaizo inputs. 2.5/5 🧵..

Paint day. I’m not sure the person who gave me the idea for this wants to be identified on social media 😆, but I thank you all the same.

RIP my iBuffalo controller. Faithfully played SMW romhacks for 3 years. I will miss it. I rotated the rubbers 2 days ago. Was dealing with Y button sticking and accidental up inputs just now, and changing the rubbers caused other new problems. I’ve nudged the rubbers a few times to no avail.

i think I despise genAI because art is one of the things that has kept me alive and breathing and genAI is yet another way for capital to pervert art and stop us from connecting with each other

Botched Endeavor speedrun: Yesterday I used R and L to make save and recall save states for practice. Today, I was having a little trouble with a dick vine so I practiced running through it a few times, and muscle memory from yesterday's practice made me tap L. Save state recalled, ruining my run.

On YouTube if you want to watch Suicidal Tendencies: “Posessed to Skate” for the nostalgia of the late 80s, you’ll first get a pop up for a suicide prevention hotline, and the video will have a three digit number you can call right below it. I’m glad it exists, but seriously I’m okay YouTube, gosh.

Some scrabble. 1-2 tonight. Had to work hard for that comeback win, and the others losses? No chance. Got gangbanged. Where’s my hot drawing hand lately? Had a fun rack of BOWTIE? and I knew BOWTIES is no good. I knew the only 7 was HOWBEIT which didn’t play but I got BLOWIEST down anyhow.

THE ICE BREAKER SCHEDULE IS OUT oengus.io/marathon/ice... Join us on Friday, Jan. 30th starting at 11:00am ET for a weekend full of the best speedruns we could find in support of Minnesota against ICE!

I’m from an even colder place so this is EZ cold for babiez if you dress for it. But it’s still really fuckin cold and it sucks.

My one birb friend is back. I hope you like birb!

First customer at the new birb feeder!

I just finished a Super Mario World kaizo romhack by @nixkillsmyths.bsky.social , “Endeavor”. It was recommended to me by @alyssasmw.bsky.social . It was fun and pretty tough. It took me about 25h30m. Caution: I swear a lot when i play this.

2-1 tonight. My bings: RELEVANt MARBLIER FRICANdO FLATTERS eNGRAVE ROUNDEST. I passed up GUTTLERS. I knew GUTTLE meant to guzzle, but was not sure about -R. And I let OvERSPUN* through. Seemed logical if OVERSPIN why not -SPUN?

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally

Played 6 games of rated tourney pub Scrabble. Won 2 of them. Scored a lot of points in 5 of them, but opponents outdid me. Was a little sad there were no bar staff to order a Belgian beer from in my final round, but it was fun.

@tanukidan.bsky.social found you!

2-1 at club: 320-523 L to Matt, 459-297 W vs Shafique, 478-387 W vs Heidi. SCALARE EU1OGI(A)E (E)dUCATES PROSS(I)ES DARTLES NITRATE were mine. Playing a pub tourney on Sunday :-)

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

hello we're having a one day comics festival in Ottawa this April and I'm never going to shut up about it tell your friends!!! ottawacomicsfestival.com

Snotface groovin'

I just made a thing! I need views. Help share this around and get me to a billion views so I can retire! www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1h4...

Lost to Matt 493-616! Combined 1100+ is super rare. 1000 is rare. Lucksack had 5 bingos after 8 turns. Switched to NWL and beat Deen in a more defensive battle, and then got beaten by Heidi, because I drew and exchanged unplayable Q twice, and then drew it a third time for good measure.

Will Anderson interviews Adam Logan about his recent World Championships of Scrabble win.

Scrabble and Kaizo together! Beat STEE Bot on Woogles(.)io while speedrunning Quickie hahahaha. sub 20:00 100%. Should I go for Hastybot next? 18 minutes?

I just saw a painting I had never seen before The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus by Hendrick Goltzius - 1558 and I had to check if Skinny Puppy’s Too Dark Park album art referenced it.

I just dropped another minute off my Quickie World PB. 10:07 any%, and 13:47 100%. Nothing fancy, I just didn't die very much. This was my first execution of the stage 1 bullet bill strat, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=haah...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6mX... @alyssasmw.bsky.social started doing Quickie speedruns, so I decided to pick it up again too and see if I'm any better after 3 years. 3rd day of running a few hours a day and got my any% run down just over a minute to 11:27. Yay!

Made a large batch of vegan hot Jamaican patties, filled with mashed sweet potatoes, caramelized onions, and a habanero. Might not look like much but OMG these are good. First try, so give me a break on not being the neatest pastry chef. Thanks for the recipe @leisl.bsky.social

Holiday art things. Comic made by me. Gingerbread cookie made by me, decorated by husband.

For the holidays, the Super Mario Makers have made levels for each other based on a unique prompt and wrapped them all up in this romhack. Pour some eggnog, gather around the CRT, and enjoy some jolly kaizo. We hope it can bring you some joy this holiday season 🎁 www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=...

Merry X-mas, baboons!

1-2. Crushed Deen. Was crushed by Adam after we both had a slow first 6 turns where neither of us were hitting anything. Heidi opened with back to back bingos. I clawed back and had 2 spots to drop AMATEUr, unless.. Heidi drops RACINOS for 95 blocking both spots. Aarrghh! But oliebollen means I win!

I don’t drink much these days but I just got a box of Blood Brothers Balam for the holidays. Vanilla imperial bourbon barrel-aged stout with hints of chocolate. This batch is coffee’d. Of all the craft beer I’ve tried this is the best.

1-2. Lost to Deen by 4 after giving him 5 for a challenge. Beat Noah. Nobody was beating Matt tonight even after a double blank opening bingo. Matt went 3-0 with like a 670 against Noah, a 565 against Adam, and 486 against me. I think every turn was over 40 except one. I didn’t add SEELiEr the list.

some stuff I'm working on

Weird Scrabble draws tonight. Just 2 bingos in 3 games, but 2 wins. Lots of JQXZ bombs. I had GLOXINI(A) blocked. Sad. ORACH does not take S just E so ILLUDES should have gone one space lower. and BERATER is also phony.

Small bit of progress on Dram 3. I'll get it tomorrow I think.
