best thing I've ever written

thank you devtesla for writing dungeon meshi

i'm gonna invoke something horrible here so i'm sorry in advance: it hits the same note as the best parts of harry potter. i think it's the worldbuilding: you've written a world, with all of the little tiny details, creating a vivid place such that you want to put yourself in the characters' shoes. kui ryoko arguably did it better than the risible person responsible for harry potter, obviously without all of the baggage so that's very nice.

(in fact you could argue that kui ryoko has the inverse of "baggage" with regard to ~that topic~ specifically)

you don't usually miss out much with super bowl anyway: obviously you can’t judge the super bowl “purely” by “game quality”, whatever that means, because there’s the stakes involved and all of the accoutrements of the show. and cteball’s not a nice sport to watch in the first place. but as with this version, super bowls tend to be very nervous, very tentative games. there’s usually one trick play that people will talk about for a long time but everything leading up to that will usually be sludge.

but this one the kickers did show out. i’m not even trying to joke here: they kicked the ball very far in this one

...i've genuinely never considered that ahahah. in my mind it's a given that if i got a new laptop i'll just use it for encoding and if the battery's non-removable then well it's fried lol. but yeah that's probably. that's probably an obvious available option to a third party reading what i wrote, huh

i've never finished celeste because i have fucking demand avoidance for playing video games. like not even for difficulty reasons

though i did remember, a few weeks after last playing it, i read about how there's wavedashing in it, and i fired up the game just to learn (and pull off!) wavedashing. so i can put that in my resume at least

maybe i should try and pick it up again idk
