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! )
matt1993: (game theory ruined my life!)


Let me get this straight. There's a video on Nintendo's OWN YouTube channel where Matthew Patrick (a.k.a. MatPat, a.k.a. the reason your friends are telling you that Mario is mental and are bullying you for playing Mario games) creates a level for Super Mario Maker (one where you have to kill Yoshi, no less)?

This makes me wonder: does Nintendo even KNOW about ANY of the things he's said about Mario that many people are taking WAY too seriously? Because if I worked for Nintendo, I wouldn't think that having the guy who's effectively (intentionally or not) brainwashing fans to hate Nintendo's mascot appear in a video promoting Super Mario Maker (or any other game) would be a good idea.


The mere existence of this video is so paradoxical, it's probably going to destroy the fabric of space-time at any moment nof7(ny p9ru8P(URW*P(ngfrwP?O@-0o43]-0o342o/O~|.P|[p/\~L[.`?L|`.\.`(yugwp9rypfyw9y Welcome!

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm finally gonna post what I gave and received for Christmas even though it's still an incomplete list. I wasn't trying to make posting this around the new year and posting my New Year's memes around Christmas a tradition by doing it this way two years in a row, but I guess it happened anyway.

← 2012 2014 →

What I got:

- Super Mario 3D World (as I've mentioned) from Mom (and she also preordered Mario Kart 8)
- Wreck-It Ralph game for 3DS
- Mario Party: Island Tour (although I can't play it all the way yet because my R button broke again :( )
- Portal and Portal 2 from [livejournal.com profile] ellaina02 (The first two Xbox games I've ever owned. I'd realized this year that I've thought "This Xbox game looks cool, but I don't think it'd be worth getting an Xbox just for this one game" enough times that it might be worth asking for an Xbox and some of those games for Christmas. Except I eventually decided I'd rather have PC versions of them, so that's what I got. :) )
- DVD of Monsters University
- The Hyperbole and a Half book and Garfield: From the Trash Bin from [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien
- "I ♥ Enya" T-shirt (contrary to what this userpic implies, I didn't have such a shirt until now) from Jake
- Garfield "I hate Mondays" 2014 calendar from Mom
- GameStop gift card from my roommate
- $50 from my grandparents

What I gave:

- I got Mom an Air Supply CD, a new pair of headphones, and a butterfly needlepoint
- I got Dad a subscription to a magazine I thought he'd be interested in
- I got my grandparents a turtle solar light for their garden, since they like turtles
- I got [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien a book or two, some supplies for knitting, and I think something else
- I got Jake some supplies for painting
- I got Nace filters for his humidifier
- I got my roommate a DVD of the Mortal Instruments movie

And there was more (because I know I got ellaina02 something), but I don't remember it all now and I probably have some of these mixed up with things that I considered giving until I decided on something else to give.

Yes, I'm a bad person for not remembering what I got everyone. You don't need to remind me :(

Speaking of me being a bad person... what entry was the last straw now? Because a couple of recent entries in my journal don't have any comments at all, so I feel the need to ask again...

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

http://news.yahoo.com/congress-puts-brakes-anti-piracy-bills-050144281.html

YES! I had a feeling they would listen to Wikipedia, Google, and so on! Dunno if anyone in Congress saw some of my replaced userpics too, but I'll keep pretending they did :P

Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna change the userpics I did manage to replace back to normal, although the darkened versions will remain in my userpic space until a) we find out for sure that the compromise won't be just as bad (which I doubt it will, but still...) or b) I run out of room for normal userpics (which will take a while, as I'd need over 120 more for that to happen).

I'll also continue to make more, because even if SOPA did not ruin my life by making it impossible to ever finish my creative vortexes, the darkened userpics still count as at least 300* new creative vortexes that I've gotta get rid of. They just won't be my highest priority for now.

To celebrate, I'm gonna type as many words and phrases that SOPA's too-vague wording could have cracked down on my use of despite them being fair use or not even trademarked as I can in 10 minutes:

Time's up. I managed 172 (if I counted right), although there were a few times that I paused because what first came to mind would have been a bizarre juxtaposition had I written it down right away (though apparently not always, as I put Mocorono Nodle next to Bilbo, Pac-Man next to Celine Dion and Grey's Anatomy next to Dr. Octagonapus & Watch).

*It's been a while since I counted how many unmade normal userpic ideas I have and added them to the amount I've already uploaded...
matt1993: (roy 666)
Okay, this is really creepy.

For the past 666 weeks or so, I've been working on a fairly long LJ post with more images than I've made for a single post before. About as many as you'd find in the average Hyperbole and a Half post, in fact, which is why it's taken so long even though most of the images are edits of images I found online. (Of course, one of the ones that isn't is a huge graph...)

Today, my calculator (which I've made a program on to keep track of how fast I need to work if I wanna finish the graph and post this entry before the next semester of college) ran out of battery power, and since I wasn't sure if we had any more lithium batteries (since replacing the regular batteries didn't help), I made an Excel spreadsheet instead.

Now here's the creepy part. About 8-10 times today, the spreadsheet's calculations gave numbers containing 666 (e.g., 16662.somethingsomething).

Plus, recently I've been rolling 3 dice (or 4 when there were 4 unfinished parts of the entry) to determine what parts of the entry I'm allowed to work on next (e.g., if I get a 1 or 4, a 2 or 5, and a 3 or 6, it's up to me, but if I only get 2's and/or 5's I have to work on the graph); just recently, I rolled the dice, and out of 216 possible outcomes, guess what I got?

6-6-6

Even scarier is the fact that just yesterday (well, technically the day before that since it's after midnight), [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien saw the dice and thought they read 6-6-6. They didn't, but still, scary how all these actual 666's ended up appearing... :O

Dip this entry in holy water

What keeps you up at night?

Answer View Answers

Well, tonight, it was the English paper that's due tomorrow. I've been procrastinating it and unable to focus on it for so long that I had to stay up all night working on it, only to just now, at almost 6 in the morning, finish all the parts of it that I don't need my sister [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien's advice on. (i.e., the introduction and first body paragraph) And, to make matters worse, I have a report for College Connections due next Monday and a 1500-2000 word essay in Computer Science that I haven't even started on (aside from some notes) due next Thursday. And since P_A can't help me with it this weekend or next week, they might as well all be due tomorrow. :'(

Blood is going to explode out of this repost button any second now
matt1993: (tree + b = mailbox)
Go look at your blog/journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How [screwed] are you?

I actually have several different possible teams depending on what does or doesn't count as a "fandom-related thing". They are:

- /crazymegavideo/ and The Back of Us, because I joked that /crazymegavideo/ was on a top-secret mission from The Back of Us to steal [livejournal.com profile] glowing_dragon's water. I doubt TBOU has its own military considering all it did in my dream was get McDonald's to add prison cells, but watching /crazymegavideo/ fill herself up with water and roll over those zombies would be the best thing ever, regardless of whether or not it kills them.</weirdfetish>

- Mario, Luigi, Enya Mii, Moya Mii, and two Koopa Paratroopas, because my editing a screenshot of NSMBM could, in a broad sense of the term, count as fanart. As long as I'm fighting in an area with enough walls for the Paratroopas' shells to bounce off of and the Mario Bros., Brennan Sstrs., and I are adept at dodging them, we should be fine unless the shells end up hitting each other. Otherwise, it'll be pretty tough unless at least one of us has a Fire or Ice Flower. But either way, it has my all-time favorite strange juxtaposition (Seriously, cartoony plumbers from a video game and classy singers from real life?), so it'll still be awesome.

- Just Pac-Man, because of my maze in The World's Biggest Pac-Man. We'd better have a lot of Power Pellets...

- Garfield, Odie, Jon, Liz, Ed (from some restaurant in the Garfield strip, I'm assuming), and one of those guard dogs that's always barking at Garfield, because of my latest Garfield Randomizer comics. The guard dog would be useful as long as one of us can train him to only attack the zombies, and Liz might find the cure to the zombie virus, but I doubt the others would be much help.

- Just the simple dog from Hyperbole and a Half, because she's in my most recent userpic. That would definitely end badly.

How screwed are you?

As everyone that's been to my journal for at least one Planck time knows, MACARONI & CHEESE!

Post toh yohr johrnohl!
matt1993: (identicon from antheastrezze.com)
For a while, I had gotten better at making new LJ userpics as opposed to procrastinating making them. I made one new userpic on Thursday, three on Saturday, one on Sunday, and what I think is a new record - FIFTEEN yesterday!

But then, apparently I flipped back to being a procrastinator, because pretty much all I did the rest of the day yesterday was play Data Worm on Facebook, read random pages on the Homestar Runner Wiki, and reading random stuff on Gadzillion Things. The only other eventful thing I did was watching part of the eclipse last night with [livejournal.com profile] pathvain_aelien and Stephen.

I think I set another new personal record today, as well - I didn't get up until 2:22 PM because I was so tired. :(

Collect this entry and post it 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
