New Super Mario Bros. U "Deluxe" is out today...

The Super Crown singlehandedly broke the Internet long before its official debut... Now it HAS officially debuted...

This is scary. VERY scary.



Today is the worst possible day to be a Mario fan that doesn't like that stupid meme. I still am a Mario fan, of course, but never before have I been so ashamed that my favorite video game franchise led to THAT.


In here I rant about that meme again and ramble about the fact that I was considering temporarily removing ALL Mario references from my profile just to spite the people who are into that meme, especially the ones who seem to HATE anyone who dislikes it. And in here I once again mention a certain *other* Mario powerup that *I'm* obsessed with, so if you don't like reading about that then skip this )



I have no idea how much sense this makes... it's just that all I can think about is how annoyed I am that this meme is still around and how annoyed I am that I'm powerless to do anything about it. I felt like I needed to vent about this somehow...

As I've mentioned a while back, I plan on replacing some of my userpics with more legible versions. (even though I've procrastinated that for probably at least a year now...)

Since I knew that doing that will cause me to lose track of what order I added my userpics, I kept a list of my userpics in my profile in order added - but I'm starting to run out of room on my profile now, so I moved it here and reformatted it into a table that hopefully looks better than the old layout.

Note that this excludes the following:
- Old versions of these userpics
- Alternate versions of some of these that I made to protest SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/etc. a few years ago

Here they are! )

I can't believe it - I finished the creative vortex poll I mentioned I've been working on!!

cut for LOTS of length )

I hope the poll shows up...

EDIT: It did, but I accidentally put "Finish rereading" as an option when it should've been "Finish rereading therapy notes" and I can't change it now. Oh well.

Have a surprisingly good reason to repost this

Finally got to finish this list!

← 2011 2013 →

What I got for Christmas:

- Wii U from Mom & Dad
- Wii U games: New Super Mario Bros. U & Nintendo Land from Mom, and Scribblenauts Unlimited from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02.
- Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (3DS version) from [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien
- xkcd stuff from Mom:
> Self-Description, Flowchart, and Compiling shirts
> mousepad
> xkcd: volume 0
- My annual Garfield calendar from Mom
- Paid account extension from Mom and renewed add-on userpics from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02. Notice that I finally took down my blackout userpics from the WCIT-12 protest and started using userpics other than the one blackout userpic that didn't become inactive again!
- Assorted candy from Mom
- Mario pajama pants from Jake
- Pocketknife from my grandfather, and $50 from him and his wife

What I gave for Christmas:

- I got Dad a 10-in-1 survivalist tool
- I got Mom a Patricia Cornwell book: The Bone Bed
- I got Jake some tea from Adagio: earl grey, mango oolong, and... I don't remember the other one
- I got [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien two books: Murder Most Royal by Jean Plaidy and The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown
- I got my grandpa and his wife an Olive* Garden gift card
- I got Nace an iTunes gift card

*I still haven't made any comics for Lightning Made of Owls, and I already typed "Oliver" instead of "Olive" by accident at first?

Wii wish U...um...had a good reason to repost this entry?
matt1993: (Default)
Right now sources vary on what the outcome of WCIT-12 was, but from what I can tell, the ITR (the resolution they made) is at least mostly about the energy efficiency of the Internet and not its content and probably won't take effect until 2015. So if I'm at least half right about what the ITR is, we either won't need to worry about it censoring the Internet for another two years or we won't need to worry about it at all.

Of course, given how little transparency the conference had and how many governments want stricter regulations on the Internet, this is only because we were very lucky... Nonetheless, this is much better than what seemed like the inevitable outcome, so I might as well go ahead and take my blackout userpics down. (A week from now, just in case.)

EDIT: My paid account time ran out yesterday, so instead I'll wait until I get my account upgraded back. Probably on Christmas.

Post to your journal, but make sure it's energy efficient

OH SNOT.

I just now found out, a little over 18 days and 8 hours before the End Times* begin, that there could be as little as only 1 or 5 hours (dunno whether these are UTC or Dubai time) before the End Times begin. (Minus 37 more minutes due to how long it took to write this entry...) And yet Google knew about it as early as November 19...

This is how I feel right now:



Anyway, I brought back ten of my blackout userpics from earlier this year when SOPA and ACTA were impending our doom. Specifically, I brought back the only ten I made that either have no text at all or still could be construed to make sense when used to protest something that threatens the freedom of the Internet in general rather than specifically anything that is currently considered fair use.

I probably won't get to make any more considering how busy I've been lately, but hopefully either everyone else's voices will still be enough to get ITU to change their minds, or after they see everyone else's voices, my ten userpics will end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back.

*Caveat: While it's interesting that this should come up so soon before December 21, I still don't think it can be considered definite proof that there's anything to that date - it's still "maybe something will happen, maybe not" to me. The only difference is the "maybe" is now mostly tied to what happens during the ITU's meeting...

This probably doesn't make a lot of sense because I had to finish writing this really quickly before they start making decisions on stuff, but oh well.

Post to your journal! There is still time!
matt1993: (truth in another out there)
So turns out ACTA was postponed today! Yay!!

I'm gonna wait a little longer before I revert my protest userpics, so that just in case we find about another bill like SOPA/PIPA/ACTA that's somehow secretly been signed by nearly enough countries for it to pass without anyone knowing for years, I'll have slightly less work to do. Until then, I'll just use the ones I didn't get to replace. :)

To celebrate, here's another Previously on the X-Files:

I wonder who glued Mulder's hand to his face? Or maybe he's just taking "talk to the hand" too literally. :)

EDIT IN 2018: Not only is the image gone now, but I don't remember what any of it said :( But at least I remember that Mulder appearing to have his hand glued to his face throughout the entire thing was the best part in my opinion. :)

Secretly have reposted this entry 6 years ago
matt1993: (homestar sued)
Okay, so SOPA and PIPA are gone, but ACTA apparently a) has been around since 2006, b) has already been signed by the U.S., and c) will ruin the Internet in exactly the same way? Sheesh. I'm bringing back my protest userpics (in fact, I brought back the ones that didn't mention SOPA specifically before I posted this entry), and I'm gonna put the protest-userpic idea out there again for anyone else who wants to protest with me. Don't know how to edit your userpic? No problem - let me know what userpic(s) you want to replace and what you want any text changed to, and I'll make it for you!

Does anyone know when the vote on ACTA is? I can't seem to find it, but I'd really like to know when the somewhat more impending apocalypse is...

The world is burning. RUN.

EDIT ON MAY 12, 2018: THIS IS THE OLD VERSION OF MY GLOSSARY... or at least the oldest version that was a sticky entry rather than on my profile, anyway. THE NEW GLOSSARY IS... nowhere, yet, but I'm going to FINALLY get around to updating this glossary for the first time in years after I'm done fixing all my entries on both LJ and DW.

I made this sticky entry in 2011, but then I didn't update it much after that and left it outdated for nearly SEVEN YEARS - long enough that I decide I might as well preserve the old version of the glossary, but make it no longer sticky in favor of a NEW sticky entry with the updated glossary.

Everything below this point is as the entry originally appeared, except I got rid of the lj-like buttons. The former subject line was simply "Glossary of Matt1993isms".

----


I finally got around to updating this glossary and moving it to a sticky post so that it wouldn't clutter up my profile and I could have LJ-cuts to jump to certain sections!

Although the whole point of these multiple LJ-cuts is for ease of navigation (i.e. if I reference a Matt1993ism in the definition of a Matt1993ism in a different section, I'd link to the proper section), I haven't had the time to actually go through and add all these links, so stay tuned for that. I also thought about adding artwork for certain entries *cough*/crazymegavideo/*cough*, so stay tuned for that too. :)

As I said in the old glossary, if you spot a Matt1993ism I used that I haven't defined here, or if FoxReplace messes up the "pucker up because it's time for lunch" entry again, etc., please let me know :)

EDIT: Added some more Matt1993isms and tags, but still need to add the links and artwork. I'm also pretty sure there was another Matt1993ism that I still forgot to add...

Too bad I don't have a Matt1993ism that has to do with reposting

Uncensored version below:

Nowadays, most teenagers find sexual innuendo in almost anything. I feel that one of these days, every letter of the alphabet except Q will be banned, because for every other letter of the alphabet, there is at least one word starting with it that has sexual connotation of some sort, and so every word containing letters other than Q can be made into an abbreviation for some sort of sexual innuendo. And what if someone comes up with sexual innuendo for a word that starts with Q?

I'm not saying we actually should ban twenty-five letters of the alphabet; just annoyed at the way most teens are.

EDOT: I hate this question now. I had to ban several people from commenting in my journal in advance because of it.

200th post!

Mon, Aug. 17th, 2009 16:09
matt1993: (afer ventus or the river sings backwards)
For my 200th LJ entry (my profile will say 201, but that's because I haven't deleted the welcome entry that's automatically made for new users), I decided to do something completely pointless: take the first word from my first post, the second word from my second post, the third word from my third post, and so on, all the way up to this one. (If post #X has Y words, and Y is less than X, then the remainder of X ÷ Y is Z, and I use the Zth word instead, or the last if Z is zero.) And yes, this is a ripoff of 160 Seconds.

So here goes )

Context )

While doing this, I've noticed that I have quite a few posts that are exactly 48 words long, by the way. Coincidence?

On a less pointless note, I had to get my braces tightened again today. And this time, there are rubber bands holding the top and bottom braces together (which have to be changed every time I eat or brush my teeth, and also before I go to bed), so it probably won't pull a my wisdom teeth this time. :(

Word for Word
How many (if any) songs do you know by heart? What are they?

Answer View Answers

I don't think I know any songs completely by heart. I memorized most of the backwards lyrics to Out of the Shadows by Sarah McLachlan though. I'd post them if there weren't any other students around me that might potentially get confused by what I'm typing.

EDIT: I ended up getting to go to the computer lab twice today, and no one's at this desk but me this time, so here goes. And no, I did not copy and paste any of this from Ours Will You 1-Up. Honestly.

(stuff I don't remember and actually will correct on OWY1U later)
Oh, so slow tiiiiiiiiiime
Yeah, no more sweeeeeeeeat
Oh, no more set, a fishnet's it
So I should hear it all, [bleep]
Awesome, awesome, a solution in the knee
Knee shuts thirst thin, he finds it
Hush with all hiding in my Mars, ours will you 1-Up
Hut must niftly fare a world, ease it yawn, make my blood
Looks like you're the one that lugs me on the bug, you snow

WhoooOOOooOOOooOOOOO!!
Only the slow lawn
My ear may sleep
(stuff I don't remember)
No, no one theeeeeeere
I know what's it
Hot if there's any words there
So I should hear it slow, no one
Slowly fear holes in DS and smears and yet there's Sally
Slowly push my ear and we say laws and other
Looks through only in the arm, such a salmon
On the car Nathan and I hear to mental hole
(stuff I don't remember)
So I should hear it all, [bleep]
So that's enough, the one you hear through it, gals in holy angle (OWY1U says "angles", but I'll correct it)
Smell a nine, it was singing yak notes and wean Amos (OWY1U says "we're Amos", but I've recently been thinking it's "wean Amos" instead)
Release the knife-y, help me, the totes barf your wizard
Early's in awesome hole, we snarf


What's weird is that it's the first song I ever wrote the backward lyrics to, and I still don't remember all of it.

Wait, this post still says "bleep" instead of "censored"? Wow, it's older than I thought. Oh, right, repost in holy angle.
matt1993: (Default)
I finished the final copy of my research paper. It was easy to do, since there were only a few corrections my teacher suggested. About time.

I also got my braces tightened yesterday. Ouch. Fortunately, my braces pulled a my wisdom teeth and only hurt that day. :)

By the way, there was something I was wondering. You see, on Ours Will You 1-Up, I currently censor not only actual cuss words found in backwards lyrics, but also things like bathroom humor, sexual implications (even without cuss words), and some euphemisms for cuss words. I came up with an idea for a feature to add in the redesign I am planning: clicking the last letter of a song title takes you to a version with only actual cusses censored (a trick I will actually mention on the site, so it's not a secret), but clicking any other letter takes you to a version like I have now. If I did that, would I have to mark Ours Will You 1-Up as containing adult content in the site settings or not? (@[livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien: I know "shizzle" means "real". I'm not talking about that.)

Post to your $&@^!#% journal

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
