"From Sakurai's latest Famitsu column (http://ryokutya2089.com/archives/29665), he states the presentation of the next Smash Bros. DLC fighter has been delayed due to the coronavirus."
Great. That means the last six DLC fighters will NEVER be released, because as we all know, "delayed" means that it'll just keep getting delayed over and over again until the apocalypse is over which it never will be no matter what we do. The world is going to end no matter what we do and nothing we can enjoy will ever be released. :'(

Super Mario Maker 2 has been updated?!

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 )

I'm still not sure whether these are more or less weird than I expected. Or both? :)
Let's get a good stretch
By now you no doubt have heard the news about Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's president. :(
I intended to write a tribute to him as soon as I had heard the news (a very short tribute, of course, because I'm still not a very good writer), but I ended up putting it off until the 14th, which was my birthday, and every time I want to post about something sad and something fun at the same time, I'm faced with the decision of: Do I try and write one entry about both topics, with some sort of "On a happier note..." transition? Do I post two entries in one day? Do I just pick one and post about it?
ALL of those options have either always worked out badly for me in the past or have never been tried because I KNEW they'd work out badly, hence why I ended up not even posting at all on the 14th. I was considering waiting until the 18th to post about my birthday anyway since that's when my birthday party was, but I still ended up procrastinating so long that by the 18th I was in the same scenario: ready to post about my birthday party, but I still hadn't posted about Iwata, and still didn't know how I should go about writing about either topic.
And then, as you can tell, I ended up procrastinating even further because I feel like there's a huge hole in my journal now there's three consecutive entries that I'm posting way too late. At this point, I think the only way I might be able to make myself not feel this way is if I ask you to pretend that this entry doesn't exist but the three below do and were posted on the dates listed. (note: this probably doesn't matter at all, but I don't know whether or not the repost buttons will work correctly...)
( 3 entries that I should've posted instead of this one, and 10-17 days earlier )

← Age 19 Age 21-22 →
At age 20:
Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and cofounded Microsoft.
Canadian hockey player Scott Olsen founded Rollerblade, Inc.
English novelist Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, which was immediately successful.
Ragtime composer Scott Joplin became an itinerant pianist and travelled throughout the Midwest.
Despite a lack of experience, James Cagney fast-talked his way into a vaudeville dancing job.
Egyptian hermit Saint Anthony gave away his inheritance and joined a group of ascetics, eventually becoming the father of Christian Monasticism.
D. H. Lawrence began writing his first novel, The White Peacock.
Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, her second and most famous novel.
English author Elizabeth Barrett Browning published her first volume of poetry.
Polish-born Joseph Conrad, one of the great English language novelists, began learning English, his third language.
Charles Lindbergh learned to fly.
John Stuart Mill pulled himself out of depression and found that the ordinary events of life could again give him some moderate amounts of pleasure. He decided that happiness is attained not by making it the direct goal of life, but by fixing one's mind on some other pursuit.
Leon Battista Alberti wrote a Latin comedy that was hailed as the "discovered" work of a Roman playwright.
The Greek philosopher Plato became a disciple of Socrates.
Sir Isaac Newton began developing a new branch of mathematics that would help him precisely predict the position of the planets at any given time. Today we call this branch differential and integral calculus.
Alexander Graham Bell taught a stray Skye Terrier to talk. By training the dog to growl on cue and then manipulating his mouth and throat, Bell could make him produce the phonemes "ow, ah, ooh, ga, ma, ma," to say "How are you, Grandmama?"
At age 20 Mona could use her second language, English, quite proficiently, so she began learning French, learned how to juggle and play classical pieces on the piano, began to draw with her non-dominant hand, studied animal and human anatomy extensively, applied for art universities, began writing a book on drawing, became a swimmer, and decided to learn to play the violin.
