Well, it happened. I actually needed to go back to a full HD monthly backup from 2022 in order to retrieve one specific file, thus justifying keeping it around for the rest of my life.
Watching some Smash Bros.
I've been playing the new Netrunner set for eleventy-twelve hours since it came out yesterday, and now I'm all worn out
The Internet Archive reader for this paginates the scanned pages incorrectly, so the descriptions are for the NEXT illustration, not the displayed one, and now I'm thinking that having descriptions turn out to actually be off by 1 on purpose would be a HUGE puzzle book twist.

God, the post-lawsuit (not this suit, the previous suit) situation with Internet Archive is so painful. I found three copies of Maze: Solve The World's Most Challenging Puzzle on there. Two of them were prohibited from lending, but ONE arbitrarily wasn't.
OK, I'll admit it, I was this close to almost being sorta interested in Blue Prince. Then I realised I could instead get baffled by the predecessor, the muse, the original.
Honestly the ENA Dream BBQ world is just the Homestar Runner world but where Teen Girl Squad and the 20X6 characters and the like are just part of the same world instead of being in-universe fiction.
Just today seen two different posts from people who read spoilers about what the postgame of Blue Prince is like, and who promptly lost all desire to ever play it ever again, while simultaneously strongly recommending it.
Biggest surprise recontextualisation of out-of-context SNES assets I encountered while playing Betterified VI wasn't any of the actual jokes, but simply the realisation that the glass tube shatter noise from Super Metroid is actually juicy as hell.
I mean, I *could* pay $40 for Blue Prince, oooooooor I could pay $15 for the ebook version of the webcomic A House Divided and get the "plucky heir explores infinite shifting chaos mansion" concept but significantly wackier
Website called howlongtoboat which lists the time in a game until the first appearance of a boat. It immediately erupts into chaos over whether rafts count
Puyos are the Madou world's slimes… so that means garbage puyos… are metal slimes.
So when you finish a round with hundreds of garbage puyos left onscreen…… you're wasting millions upon millions of potential EXP (°Д°; )
Gray from Void Stranger painstakingly assembling a brand by rearranging tiles for five minutes, and then jumping into the hole and discovering it's a one-foot-deep painted black floor.
Tetris The Grand Master 4's backgrounds look so much like super-saturated Touhou UI backgrounds. It's unreal. I can see a TGM4 background and immediately think of a Touhou game that it resembles.
"Daddy longlegs" has to be the most old English name for an animal that is mysteriously still widely in use. The Robin Redbreast of spiders.
Rather old text file on my HD… This was an idea for an Undertale fangame that was a falling-block Puyo-like. The main gimmick was that the single-player CPU roster consists of characters no one particularly likes (with 3 exceptions).

Funny bit of Netrunner "symmetry" that I've liked ever since learning about it is how runners have a neutral economy card called "VoicePAD", a phone for taking jobs, but the equivalent card on the corps' side is "PAD Campaign", an advertisement for that same phone.
