well, this brings back the classic SPUF memories

We had to put our dog down last night. In the past week she just went on a sudden down-swing, stopped eating her food, would only eat eggs or rice, and then stopped eating at all. She started throwing up... But she made it through Christmas. We put her in a wagon and pushed her out front of us on our walk, and she stood up straight and tall looking at out everything, just like on all the car and boat rides she loved so much. Then in the following days she just shut down, she could hardly stand and started having seizures, just seemed out of it. We didn't want her to suffer any longer; the vet said it was probably cancer and renal failure. She's alright now.

Uh oh, oh no! The Annual Smissmas 2020 LordAIDS Monkey Extravaganza has been CANCELED due to the widespread outbreak of CORVID-19!

Can't wait for Below Zero.

Got to go on a trip to Arizona the last week,  visited Phoenix and its suburbs, Sedona/Red Rock state park, and the Grand Canyon,  hiked for about 20 miles in total, great weather there (compared to chicagoland) too, was a fun trip.

Wow! This dream was by far one of the bizarre ever, but it was a lot of fun. For some reason everything looked like an anime, and there was like this all-girls motocross club. But this was no ordinary all-girls motocross club, you see. Everyone wore cute lolita-style dresses, like Touhou except everyone is riding a motorcycle. I guess I REALLY wanted to be a part of this club because I went so far as to put on a wig and dress; I apparently passed because they let me into the club with no problems.
 
I think the whole building the club used was like some sort of VR chamber, because I just remember appearing straight onto the track with everyone else once the race started. That would explain why nobody wore a helmet either. The track reminded me of Choco Mountain from Mario Kart, but less dark brown and more light brown. I just barely won my first race; I think everyone expected me to be some veteran or something because of my performance, so they were confused when I was confused that they were congratulating me. But they were all very kind and helpful when I explained that it was my first time, one of the girls even gave me a pamphlet. I think I fooled around a bit more on a training course, doing some cool tricks with my bike alongside a few other girls, before heading home.
 
Reading this all back, I would be surprised if this does not already exist as an anime or manga or something. It sounds like it's right on the perfect bizarreness threshold to. "Guy dresses up to become part of all-girl lolita VR motocross club."

I am proud. Beat Pikmin 3 on Ultra-Spicy with 0 deaths while 100%'ing it as I said, getting all the data files, fruit, and Piklopedia entries, all a day faster than my first playthrough which was not 100%. I really want to play Pikmin 1 and 2, and my friend who has both games said he'd mail them to me if I got a Wii to play them. But there's also emulation, which would be out of the question if only there weren't a mouse injector for Pikmin on emulator. So hmm...

I always wanted to play a Pikmin game, but never could, so I was very happy when it was announced, and thus Pikmin 3 Deluxe was my first one. From what I understand, it's less of a huge bombastic expansion on the previous game like the 2nd one was to the 1st, and more of a return to form that anyone could play without previous knowledge or experience. Something I really appreciated was how smart the Pikmin AI was -- like 90% of the time doing exactly what I meant it to do -- and how many tiny QoL things there were. Like for instance, if you're spamming throw, then captains and bomb rocks will get skipped so that you don't throw your captains into danger or kill your entire army of Pikmin with a bomb. Or how if a Pikmin is working and you whistle them, instead of coming straight over, they'll sort of stop and look at you; if you whistle them twice or whistle them once for long they'll get the message and stop what they're doing. All sorts of tiny things like that made the gameplay feel very smooth, smart, and refined.
 
The campaign was very fun the whole way through but I did find myself yearning for some more challenge in combat, even on Hard, which is why I'm gonna 100% it on Ultra-Spicy. All the Mission Mode levels were super fucking challenging though to get platinum on and they were very fun. The prologue Side Story was pretty short and basic and didn't give me high hopes, but then the epilogue was actually way longer and had some really cool objectives and gameplay twists; I liked it a lot. I really want to play the 1st and 2nd games someday; it'd be awesome if Nintendo didn't do away with Virtual Console on the Switch, but that's not the case, so it looks like I'm getting a Wii.

The truth is a mixture of the two positions.  While I did look up videos from each of these channels before making the list, I don't regularly watch content from all of them.  A lot are there for completeness (like getting practically all of Hololive; I'm not going to even attempt to get all of Nijisanji) and I wouldn't have seen anything about if I hadn't made the list. Roberu would be an example of someone in that position; I knew about him and had been meaning to check him out, but honestly before making this list and looking at a few minutes from a couple of videos I hadn't actually seen any of his stuff. And you could divide it again I suppose by removing channels that I only watched a few times back in the day but haven't watched for literally a year or more; YUA would be an example of that.  Hell, I don't even remember when the last time I watched a Sora video was when you get right down to it.  And beyond all that there are some extremely minor channels that only appear on the list because I happened to link to them earlier in the thread.
 
You also should be aware that a lot of these virtual youtubers do like 2 hour long streams which I don't watch completely.  Like I don't think I've ever watched a complete NoraCat video because they're all that long.  But I've watched enough parts of that channel's videos that it's equivalent to watching several smaller videos from another channel.
 
So it's not true that I am an expert on everything in the list, but at the same time it's also true that my choices weren't exactly "thoughtful" in that many are based on only a little exposure.
 
Probably can actually make an explanation for the whole list.  I've already done 25 of them previously, and that was long enough ago that it didn't include any hololive channels.  But obviously it would take a while to write.

I like my cargo shorts. I can put my phone and my wallet in each pocket and it wont look obvious, while if I do that in my jeans, it looks like two obvious bulges to the sides.
 
And it has four side pockets, while the pants only have two! I gotta put my keys on the back pockets because the pocket is barely enough for just my wallet, so putting the key in the same pocket would mean either less space for the wallet or the keys stabbing my leg. I find back pockets terrible.
 
Like, why would you even use them? You cant see them, you have to take stuff out from them before sitting, you might break something if you forget about it and putting keys there means getting stabbed in the butt.

Mushrooms are like alien plants.

I grew up in a desert and I still know how to swim!
 
Though I haven't swam in years because I don't want chlorine to mess up my hair

Generally big number good, that goes for every part you need. The only thing that can be obnoxious is making sure everything fits in your motherboard but there's good sites for that too.
 
The big problem right now is that because of bitcoin mining, gpu prices not only have skyrocketed but any high end gpu is just constantly out of stock.

TFW you can't find lobbies at 2:30 in the morning.

You can make a lot of shitty jokes with your friends with this one. Like

Ah yes, another example of the Halloween version of the map being superior design-wise, like Helltower.
 
*sigh*

Let's hear it.

Just lock the old people, immunocompromised, and anyone who doesn't wanna risk it in like gay baby jail or something for two years while the rest of us fight through it while living life normally. FUCK it's so easy why the hell doesn't the government listen to me.

"Weekend at Bernie's" is I think a unique movie in that it has entered the English language as a phrase that most people understand, despite not being a very good movie and being something that I doubt most people today have actually watched.
 
The only thing that I can think of as remotely similar is "gaslighting", but "Gaslight" is actually a good movie.
 
I guess the English language just needed a phrase for pretending that someone who is dead is actually alive for your own personal benefit.

I'll have you know it's called "Sorry!"
