Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

I'm so behind my planned schedule of posting these Miiverse backup entries - if I'd kept to my schedule, I would've posted this entry between June 10 and 16. Maybe this will become Daily Miiverse Backup until I'm caught up!

Balloon Trip Breeze

(I'm surprised this had 6 Yeahs, because it's kind of hard to tell what's going on and I remember one person couldn't even read the third panel. In fact, it's kind of hard to illustrate any sort of "I died because of this" moment in Balloon Trip Breeze in a way that it's easy to tell what's going on, especially if I try and illustrate two in one post...)

One of these prizes is not like the others...

(Yay, my first Miiverse post to have a screenshot in it! Did the screenshot feature not exist until then, or did I not know how to use it until then, or did I simply not have a good reason to post a screenshot until then? Who knows?)

Anyone know why my TV doesn't show anything from the Wii U now even though it's still plugged in?

Pikmin Adventure
For me, this was the first level that seemed more difficult than just "throw Pikmin at everything"…

That awkward moment when you accidentally shove a random Mii out of the way in the plaza...

(And then after this was my first longer-than-a-month hiatus from Miiverse; my next post was 56 days after this one. Hopefully it won't take me that long to post the next Miiverse backup entry!)

For whatever reason, I only made two Miiverse posts in March 2013. I have no idea why I posted so few of them that month even though it was when I was still pretty obsessed with Miiverse, or why I somehow still ended up two weeks behind my self-imposed schedule for these Miiverse rerun entries regardless.

*rereads my LJ entries from March 2013*

...okay, I guess that answers my first question, at least.

Well, whatever, here's my Miiverse posts from March 2013. :)

(And then after this, it was another 25 days until my next Miiverse post, setting another new record for my longest hiatus from Miiverse.)

(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 )

Here they are finally :)

I also manually added information to make it easier to compare to last year's results. The colors aren't coordinated to the amount of ranks you've went up or down, but rather to (1/y-1/x), where y is your rank this year and x is your rank last year. This means that a jump from, say, 5th to 4th is better than a jump from 23rd to 21st.

Ties, at least for the purposes of how many ranks people went up or down and the colors, are handled by ( I worded this in a weird and kind of cringey way, so I'm retroactively LJ-cutting it in 2018 ) If you weren't on last year's list, you're considered to have been tied for 48th through (how many LJ users there were, are, or will be)th place that year, since there were 47 total commenters.

I think it's interesting how last year there were 47 total commenters and this year there were 74 total commenters :D

Singles Awareness Day
Do you love or hate Valentine’s Day?

Answer View Answers

I know practically everyone else on LJ disagrees with me on this, but even though I'm single, I love Valentine's Day! I understand why some people might be depressed about being single on Valentine's Day, but personally, just the idea of romance in general makes me feel happy, even if I haven't gotten to experience it yet. In fact, on a more general scale, while some depressed people might not be able to stand being around cheery people, that's not the case with me even when I am depressed - instead, their cheer just rubs off on me and I feel better.

That, and Valentine's Day candy is just plain delicious.

Of course, I'm only 18, so I might not be the same way if I'm still single in 10-30 years, but for now, I'd like to enjoy Valentine's Day while I can, please.

Complain about me being too happy

I just realized that last Thursday was the Ides of Author Cancelled. Which means I finally get to unban people a year after they are banned. Yay?

In other news, I seem to be getting stupider in general. :(

Forgive and forget?
Do you tend to forgive and forget or hold grudges? What is the longest you've ever stayed angry with someone? Is there anything the other person could say or do to win back your friendship and trust?

Answer View Answers

I don't really know, but I'm almost certain my policy of unbanning people from commenting my journal a year after I ban them will be the longest once it actually comes into play (it still hasn't been a year since I banned anyone).

Hold grudge
