"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

I also forgot about Super Mario Wonder!!

I forgot about and will probably play Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

I beat it, I reckon I’ve been playing the game on and off for 2 maybe 3 years. I set myself a bizarre goal of beating every traditional 2D Mario level to ever exist (including the Mario 3 e-Reader levels and Mario Maker for 3DS) and I’m fairly close to the end point.

Luigi U and SMB2 I think?

My Switch 2 was out of battery but my Wii U gamepad is charged… I’m so very close to finishing New Super Mario Bros. U

Don’t you see, baby, THIS is perfection

Remember when plaid shirts and hoodies were in? I wore this get up daily.

Rolled up sleeves over the sweater, timeless.

I refuse to spoil myself by watching gameplay of it, so until I get the system here’s some stock photos of some real 2011 people enjoying it.

Bop-It Is The Best $8 I’ve Spent On The Switch You really can't go wrong with Bop It.

Read @mikedrucker.bsky.social article about Bop-it and put some money down on Bop-it Tetris based on his recommendation.

Doing some vague research and Pokemon Colosseum comes before XD, why not release that first?

I’m going to watch Lawrence of Arabia in full tonight, it has a 4 hour runtime.

Nothing more self satisfying than clearing all the gutters before a huge surge of rain.

Had a casual run at Super Easy today and was shocked to find Stage 10 is my 1CC limit… I thought it would be lower. Would like to practice and maybe 1CC it this year.

I started playing Hollow Knight, what I enjoy about it is that you can play a brief 15 minute stint - delve deeper than you had previously, save and peace out.

Or you can obsessively turn over every stone for 2 hours declaring you’ll take a break after the next one.

There is no in between.

I find “Top 3 Zelda” discussions sorta funny, they’re like picking the top 3 records by The Beatles.

My gut says:
Original
Link’s Awakening
Majora’s Mask

Effects of a video game intervention on symptoms, training motivation, and visuo-spatial memory in depression By Moritz Bergmann, Ines Wollbrandt, Lisa Gittel, Eva Halbe, Sarah Mackert, Alexandra Philipsen, Silke Lux Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2023 doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173652 Methods: a total of 46 clinically depressed individuals were treatment including psychotherapy and/or randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental "3D video gaming" group (n = 14) which played Super Mario Odyssey, an active control group (n = 16) which trained with a computer program "CogPack," and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (n = 16) which received a standard clinical pharmacotherapy. Results: regarding depressive symptoms, a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who showed clinical levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory was only found in the 3D video gaming group (which played Super Mario Odyssey). Conclusion: besides a standalone cognitive training, the current findings suggest that cognitive trainings using a video game have potential to increase subjective well-being, show higher levels of training motivation, and lead to improvements in visuo-spatial memory functions in MDD. The proportion of participants that showed depressive symptoms (BDI-II ≥ 13) at pre- (T1) and post-assessment (T2). For Super Mario Odyssey, 100 at T1 and 57 at T2. Note: information heavily abridged. For the full paper, see link above.

A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.

Received praise from my dentist, not many teeth are less riddled by gum disease than mine.

I imagine this is how Bob Dylan plays Virtual Boy.

Somehow got this on my first go, I like the occasionally video pinball just slots in a basic shooter.

Just in time for dinner

It’s funny that in 2026 I’m loading up an application from the 90’s to patch an NTSC rom to PAL so I can play Bangai-O on my system
