What was your first reaction when you found out about the existence of Braille? Probably a little bit of shock and confusion at first. Likely some disbelief that it actually functions, or that people are willing to manufacture it. Maybe even something resembling disgust or agitation was felt by 7-year-old you. Whatever that strange pityContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and The Banality of Karen – Level 14 : Objecting to Accommodations for the Disabled is like Making fun of New Game Controllers [Nightmare B: Good Taste]”

Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 10 : Controversial Scientists have the Humble Audacity of Tier Lists (a maddeningly hopeful climax)
I took a class called “Scientific Issues” back when I was in college. It was a philosophy course, I guess. It was pretty engaging. There was some weird logic stuff about “ravenswans”. Debates about “direct observations” with microscopes or glasses. And some general talk about people getting bad vibes from heliocentrism.

Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 5 : Lazy Content Recyclers are as Chill as Fans of Emulation (and bank robbers)

Do you know about Missingno.? It’s a “glitch Pokemon”. A creature that exists entirely by accident. It’s a topic of much fascination and intrigue. Many even have affection for this garbled mess of pixels and data. When I was younger, and my social life was about as dull as it possibly gets, I found solaceContinue reading “Spicy Gamer Vibes and the Banality of Karen – Level 0 : Lonely Teenagers Admire Glitch Creatures on Game Boy”
Inner Beauty Parry 12/11/21 – That Time I Messed Around with Super Mario Himself
I used to go to the Nintendo World Store a lot of the time. Did you know Mario’s voice actor does this motion capture thing where he talks to people looking at the screen? Apparently he’s been doing it since even before Mario 64. He does a few silly impersonations, lets kids and adults askContinue reading “Inner Beauty Parry 12/11/21 – That Time I Messed Around with Super Mario Himself”
