Happy Mother 3 20th 🌎
A screenshot from the ending of the English localisation of the 1987 arcade version of the video game "The Ninja Warriors". Scrolling white text over a background depicting the collapsed ruins of a large mansion reads: BUT THE PEACE DID NOT CAME. BECAUSE NINJA WARRIORS, THEY ARE THE IMMORTAL MURDER MACHINES. . . . .
hotel room number plaque that says "2006"

a photo of my tv with the game Tama: Adventurous Ball in Giddy Labyrinth on it. at the top of the screen it says in blue stylized letters "FROZEN CAVE STAGE"; then below that there's a little frame labeled "THIS WORLD" with a small picture of a snowy scene; and below that is a dialogue box with a picture of tama, a blue mischievous-looking circle, and some text mostly in japanese but starting with "JAX!!", which is the name I put in
lssq brought the saturn over yesterday. I would lay down my life for Tama the Adventurous Ball
lol I totally forgot about that
seeing more public positive appraisal for this one lately and it's giving me student loan forgiveness syndrome. "when I thought this game was interesting it was a dark secret I had to keep to myself, why should all these people get to enjoy it openly now"

I meet a couple with a child who are actually just pretending to be a couple with a child in order to smuggle rare collectible toys over the border. she opens her bag and it's full of sonics and also some of my clothes that she must have stolen out of my bag when I wasn't looking
last night's dream: walking around the airport confused until I realize my flight isn't til the next day. while I'm punching random numbers into a kiosk they're playing a really good song called "Persono" by a cambridge emo band I've never heard of called "SHIS/HER".
broke: hey that voice sample is from the chrono trigger arrange album
woke: hey that drum loop is from grinch's ultimatum
trying 2 get good at street fighter update

screenshot of an old post by me that says "this is too personal for the feed"
anyway I've been playing metroid fusion
two text messages that read: like it's not unlikely that while I'm bumbling around looking for the thing I'll run into some I know and they'll say "[redacted]I didn't know you were queer" and then I'll have to yell "uh actually I'm just here to pick up something I left here, which is not necessarily to say that I'm not, but it's actually a matter of some contention whether my thing counts and I've never really felt like I should get to decide" and they'll say "well you should stick around" and I'll have to yell "actually I hate this and I need to leave asap but not because of the queer part, I just hate unabashed joy and self-confidence" and then I'll walk outside and jump in front of a car like that's what is probably going to happen tonight but I'm going to try anyway do I hope you all give me some credit for that
we've all been there
note for note me when I left a cymbal at the venue and had to go back to get it the next night during "queeraoke"
two panels from the swan boy comic "philly trip 2". the first panel has too much text to transcribe but it's rona panicking about a conplex hypothetical scenario which culminates in a cvs employee mistakenly thinking she's propositioning them. in the next panel swan boy says to her "rona, cassie's been honking for like ten-- whoa. you okay?" and she mutters to herself "I'll run in with a gun shouting "I'm asexual! I'm asexual! yes... yes..."
this is the only asexual rep that has ever mattered. I don't want to see that stupid yellow beanie guy again
safe travels!!

it's not bandcamp friday
this kind of self-awareness will save us
can't decide whether it's reassuring that the terrible hollow bitterness of that stuff does not originate from real people's feelings about music. or if it's terrifying that the corpos have identified that as the most profitable impulse to capitalize on
wow is it possible that every "guys who think they're special for listening to geese are so annoying" video shoved in front of my face for the last year was part of a calculated campaign to make guys think they're special for listening to geese...
so cool that in that first arrangement you can hear a lot of those elements of 60s pop that would later influence some 90s music in japan. it sounds like utena bgm to me. takahashi was ahead of the curve on reviving this stuff of course
prob well known to people who follow me: burt originally wrote this for dionne warwick but yukihiro takahashi totally made it his own. youtu.be/HOrcRmS-MgU
Preliminal design for a 1993 Sega ad, recovered from the archives of the Brio toy company, which handled Sega's marketing in Sweden [a picture of Sonic asking "WHO THE F*CK IS MARIO?"] Final design of the ad, which replaced the attack on Mario with the slogan "Happiness can be bought for money" [a picture of Sonic saying "LYCKA KAN KÖPAS FÖR PENGAR"] Source: Martin Lindell, martinlindell.com/2019/11/24/sonic-springer-snabbt-in-i-sverige, via @FeoUltima, x.com/feoultima/status/1964670301712908579
In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.
this arranging is no joke
