I added Ransei's virtual pet to my site at 2 am and thought it didn't work because I was too tired to remember to clear my cache. I'm super glad to see them here today and will add a little more for them later!

Superbly appropriate Mario Paint art, I still sing the music demo songs with my brother. I hope you feel better soon!

Saw you mentioned Blazblue the other day, heck yeah. Shoutouts to that and Soulcalibur II, which are both legendary fighting games. That explosion sound could have been a firework given the time of year, or it could have been an electrical transformer popping somewhere nearby. Those booms sound insane, but it's really just the sound that's bad.

@sd-geno I think it was a transformer popping- if not, I am impressed by some neighbors acquiring that grade of firework! They are both so good! I used to play fighters a lot when I was in high school and college and kind of want to get okay at them again. If nothing else, it's just fun to vibe with all the interesting characters and settings in fighters.

Somebody near me was setting off a bunch of fireworks on Monday. The 13th. Y'all been calmed down for a week, but you're going to pick it back up on a random-ass Monday???

Were they at least after dark? This neighborhood has had fireworks in such abundance that people have set them off in daylight. Now that all the fireworks stands are gone, that is cooling down, but what is the point??

On the other hand, getting through a single day can feel like a damn miracle sometimes, maybe we're celebrating that

Call MoMA! Call the Louvre!

Just wait, my inherent laziness means this will be part of a set- I'm gettin' my own gallery show.

Mario Golf on the 64 is so good. Incredible soundtrack.

It still plays so well, too! It's no question one of my favorite games on the console.
