Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

Oh man!!! Could this be the day that Nintendo FINALLY brings back Mary O.?! It's probably too late to have her be part of the tutorial, but maybe there could be DLC jobs in the story mode and some of them could be by her?? Or at the very least, a Mary O. Mii costume as DLC??


Version 1.1.0

On October 1st, 2019, an update was made for playing online with friends, minor changes and bug fixes.[17]

Course World

Network Play
Added "Play with friends"
Added features to "Nearby Play"
Added "LAN Play"

Official Makers
Added a list of Official Makers in Leaderboards


...oh. I see Nintendo still doesn't care about the feelings of Mary O. fanboys like me. (Unless Mary O. is one of the "official makers" like she was in the first SMM, but I think we all know that won't be the case.) :(


( the more rant-y portion of this entry is cut for your convenience )

Happy 10th anniversary, mezzacotta!

(The site that is. It's more than ten trillion years too late to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the comic. ;) )

I was supposed to have posted this one last week. This feature just keeps steadily getting less and less regular...

Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto
Considering how hard Dragoneel is to avoid, how did we beat it with 3 Star Coins on 1 try?

Sorry, Boos! In Soviet Russia, Baby Yoshis scare YOU!

(Huh. Apparently my first two [and only two, I think] Soviet Russia jokes on Miiverse were a mere four days apart. I thought there was a longer time span than that between them.)

Why am I still calling this Miiverse Backup Twuednesday if half the time I'm not sticking to my planned update schedule of every Tuesday or Wednesday?

Oh well, here's the last four of my 33 Miiverse posts in 2012! :)

1-player mode as Pikmin: In Soviet Russia, Olimar follow YOU!

(This is probably the first Soviet Russia joke I ever made - not just on Miiverse, but ever. I used to find them overused along with many other Internet memes that I hadn't heard of before 2008 or so and didn't understand, but then when I discovered mezzacotta in 2011, I really liked how certain characters make surreal Soviet Russia jokes - with this one probably being the most famous - and decided Soviet Russia jokes in general weren't so bad after all. Most of the Internet memes that annoyed me back then are a lot funnier than certain more recent Internet memes...)

This has been kind of a disappointing April Fools' Day because:

1) Homestar Runner didn't update at all today, even though they did for April Fools' Day 2014, 2015, and 2016, and April Fools and Halloween are almost the only times they ever update nowadays.
2) I don't think many people noticed my April Fools prank at all.

For reference, my April Fools prank was this entry; however, when I first posted it (on March 31 in my time zone, but late enough that it was April 1 already for some of you), it was an exact copy of my first entry. Then I waited a few minutes or so and changed it to a copy of a different past entry in the same way... then changed it to another after a few more minutes, and so on - basically, if I was at my computer, I'd change the entry anywhere from once an hour to once every few minutes. (At first. I gradually updated it less and less often because it seemed like no one was noticing...)

By "exact copy", that means including the subject line, repost button, userpic, tags, mood, music, location... basically, everything except the timestamp, the comments, and friends-only status [though, of course, the only friends-only entries I used were ones that probably would've been fine being public]. And anything that I intended to change each time but accidentally forgot sometimes. Though if I used an entry I'd posted in _dreams_, autism, or asperger, I added a notice saying that it was cross-posted (even though I don't think copying a community entry to my own journal years later for April Fools' Day actually counts as cross-posting).

I chose the entries semi-randomly, sometimes by going to my Calendar for random years and months and picking a random entry I'd feel comfortable posting again, and sometimes by just putting in notable entries that I remember and wanted to include in this prank at some point. Some entries were used more than once.

And just to mess with your heads even more, I thought it might be fun to come up with a hypothetical FUTURE entry and add it into the mix! That's what the 2023 year in review is for. It ended up being my favorite thing about this prank, so I left that one up significantly longer than any other single entry.


Now that April Fools' Day is over, all the entries I ended up using are listed below for posterity. (Don't expect the repost buttons to work correctly, though...)


( The entries that you could've sworn that you'd seen already and/or that they said something completely different a few minutes ago, in order of their first use in this prank )

I'm trying not to overuse this phrase too much nowadays, but HOLY WHOLE HAND DEALER.


While watching this, I paused pretty much every second just so I'd have more time to try to identify some of the characters in there. (Which I had to do again anyway so I could put all the characters I recognize in the tags. [EDIT: And, as I usually do, a few that aren't in there and are just tangentially relevant to jokes I used in this entry.]) :D

3, 2, 1, repost

I'm not sure if the person who made the 2009 version of this has made a 2010 one yet, but I decided I might as well make it anyway:

Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2010. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".

← 2009 2011 →

Fill out your year in review

It's finally the weekend. That took forever. Only one more week to go!

In about an hour and one minute I'll leave to watch Star Trek. Can't wait!
