Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

About time I posted another one of these. If I'd stuck to my intended schedule of posting my Miiverse backup entries once a week, this would've been posted between June 24 and 30, 2018.

I'll get caught up someday...

At least I can prove I'm still capable of posting entries that don't mention the Quidd drama!... wait a minute... DANG IT! :P

For my birthday I got (along with other games and things) money to get NSLU from the eShop, so I'm gonna do that now… If I'm not back in an hour, send a not-being-distracted-by-Miiverse after me XD

(I wonder what I was doing if it took me three whole days after my birthday to post this. Probably playing Kid Icarus: Uprising - I got that for the same birthday, but didn't get to post about it on Miiverse for a while because there were no 3DS game communities back then except for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Also, I think this is the only time I posted about a game that was out by then, but that I didn't have yet. I may be wrong though.)

Got NSLU and liking it so far! I wish there were an official in-story explanation of why Mario's not there, though, if only so there wouldn't be fan speculation... But I'm liking the game :)

(That's how you know that this post predates Game Theory's "Mario is Mental" videos - I found some other Mario-related fan speculation annoying enough that I had to post a mini-rant about it.

Also, like the next few, this ended up in the NSMBU community instead of NSLU because for whatever reason, New Super Luigi U didn't give me nearly as many opportunities to post from in-game, which was the only way to post in the NSLU community at all.)

(Despite making a lot of posts/drawings about things that happened to us in specific New Super Mario Bros. U levels, this is the only time I ended up doing so about a specific New Super Luigi U level. And I don't even know what level it was except that it was clearly a castle.)

(This is the second of my only two Miiverse posts to have no words, and technically my last post in the NSMBU community since the next NSLU-related post actually made it to the NSLU community.)

Beat the game!
Why is it that this is the first time I've gotten asked to post to Miiverse in NSLU?

0 0

(Again, this is my first AND last post in the NSLU community. I think we continued playing New Super Luigi U for a while after this, but not long enough for us to get around to 100% completing it unlike with NSMBU. I should finish that someday. This was also my last Miiverse post of 2013 - it would be about 5 or 6 months [139 days, to be exact] until I finally started posting again, setting another new record for my longest hiatus.)

Once again, it's time for some archived Miiverse posts I was hoping to have posted here last week! :P

Run for It
It's so hard to hit the switches! Especially if we bubble if the A button merely twitches!

(I think this is the only time I actually obeyed the "write a rhyme about this level on Miiverse" prompt that came up in-game, not counting the time I subverted it by rhyming "Star Coins" with "can't think of a rhyme related to this level". I did the "warning sign" prompt a few times, though. And apparently I also only ever followed the "two words" prompt once but didn't think to point it out in these Miiverse backup entries.)

This is the only level I know that's easier with more players…but we're STILL not past it!

I think we'll have better luck if we just stay at the beginning until the timer runs out…

(Or rather, pathvain_aelien thought this and I made a post on Miiverse about it.)

Run for It
FINALLY made it with two ☆ Coins but only because one of us touched the goal by accident!

2 0

(Considering the trouble we had in this level, I'm surprised it apparently only took us two days to beat it [even if that's not counting going back later for the remaining Star Coin]. I see it did take a few hours, though!)

If there were ever a Three Stooges video game, it'd be a LOT like 3-player in this game...

(Oddly enough, within the past month or so I discovered that there are in fact TWO Three Stooges video games already. Since 1984 and 1987, in fact. The former apparently has three-player mode as its ONLY mode, even! Maybe I should try these out someday...)

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...)

I meant to take this quiz on my birthday, but I ended up forgetting to for 30 days :(



For some reason the text of the result isn't part of the "post to LJ" code anymore so:

(EDIT: I had the result down here, but then decided to try to put it where it's supposed to be.)

(music tag should be: Snippets of Mario, Kid Icarus, SSB, BtVS, Enya, Dido, Céline Dion, Sarah McLachlan, Moya Brennan, Matchbox 20, Rascal Flatts, & Savage Garden music thrown together randomly in Audacity)

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 )

http://www.garfieldasgarfield.com/

"Haven’t you always wondered what the Garfield comic strip would be like if President Garfield was starring in place of the lasagna loving cat? No? Well, maybe you can enjoy this site anyway."

Neat!

EDIT IN 2018: ...The site is gone now, and due to the way the site is organized, web.archive.org didn't even save ALL of the comics. :( So I went through all the pages WERE saved one by one and made this entry into a hopefully-complete, more useful list of links to all the Garfield as Garfield comics that survived. Note that some comics were able to be found on various versions of the main page, week-by-week archives, or the "Best of" page, but not the individual comics' pages, or vice versa.

Party with James Garfield and friends

I had an appointment scheduled for today at the disability office to determine what accommodations I would need at 10 AM. However, I woke up after 9 today, got in the shower at 10:01, and got out at 10:thirty-something.

Then, when I finally got to the room that I thought the appointment was at, it was locked. So I had to call my mom and ask her what room it was in, and finally found the right room - just before the person I was going to talk to reached the end of her shift, so I had to reschedule for 2:30 PM on Monday. AFTER my first three college classes. Hopefully I can get through the first day without accommodations.

Yesterday was actually pretty good, though! :)

Repost this entry an hour late

SNOW CONES ARE IN SEASON!!! I still have yet to get one, though :(

I finally finished my research paper last Thursday! I sure hope I made a good grade...

I also participated in Challenge Air again! (read about the first time)

I WISH TO REMIT $21 MILLION TO YOUR COMPANY FOR REPOSTING
