You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Just realised that between the months of June and September, I will be doing virtually no handwriting, and will most likely have to retrain myself to write neatly.
Few years ago, I had an extended summer holiday due to study leave and crap. I went to my new school and my handwriting was atrocious.

Hi Tools.
Since I completed most of my high school education online, there was a span of four years where I did almost no handwriting. When I started college I had trouble at first because I almost had to re-learn how to write both neatly and quickly.

I made a thing yesterday but no one commented on it. Oh well. I haven't been doing much music lately either, I'm really tired of the amateur music scene and all the bullshit that comes along with it.
also are you up to speed on Adventure Time by any chance? I caught up yesterday.
Fernando Vallejo Rendón (born 1942 in Medellín, Colombia) is a novelist, filmmaker and essayist, born in Colombia. He obtained Mexican nationality in 2007.
Vallejo was born and raised in Medellín, though he left his hometown early in life. He started studies in Philosophy at the National University of Colombia in Bogotá, but after one year he abandoned the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. Soon after he began new studies on biology at the Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, which he finished. Then he spent one year in Italy at the film academy Cinecittá, where he obtained basic notions on cinema.
Vallejo then returned to Colombia with the project of filmmaking. Yet after difficulties with the Colombian Government in producing and, after he produced it, in presenting his first film (it was censored), he decided to leave his country.[citation needed]
In Mexico he produced and distributed three films about the violence in Colombia. He also wrote an award-winning children's theater script, "El reino misterioso o Tomás y las abejas." He has been living in Mexico since 1971, where he not only produced his cinematographic pieces, but also the whole of his literary work. Despite time spent in other locales, mainly Europe and the United States, most of his novels take place in Colombia. Some of his themes are grammar, biology, philosophy, physics, violence, pederasty, adolescence, drugs, death and politics, mostly related to places such as Antioquia and Medellín; yet his main theme is his life. His books are written in first person, in an autobiographical style, although he manipulates the conventions of autobiography such that the line between autobiography and fiction becomes significantly blurred.[1]
His best-known novel, La virgen de los sicarios, has been translated into English as Our Lady of the Assassins. It deals with his fictionalized return to Medellín, and his relationships with two teenagers caught in the local cycle of violence. The autobiographical/fiction La virgen de los sicarios was made into a full feature film in 2000 and released in the United States as Our Lady of the Assassins.
In 2003, Colombian filmmaker Luis Ospina made a feature-length documentary about him: "La desazón suprema: retrato incesante de Fernando Vallejo ("The Supreme Uneasiness: Incessant Portrait of Fernando Vallejo").
In April 2007, Vallejo obtained Mexican citizenship and published a letter in which he publicly renounced his Colombian nationality. The letter presents the reasons for his decision by mentioning several incidents during his career, among them the recent reelection of President Uribe, that eventually led him to this decision.[2]
Vallejo is openly gay and lives with his partner, scenographist David Antón. He is known as an animal rights defender, and because of his antinatalist views. He has no children.

Hallo, again
Just realised that between the months of June and September, I will be doing virtually no handwriting, and will most likely have to retrain myself to write neatly.
Few years ago, I had an extended summer holiday due to study leave and crap. I went to my new school and my handwriting was atrocious.
Four years? That's a long time.
Luckily there is only four months between me finishing my last exam and me (hopefully) going to University. But a lot can happen in four months...]
Maybe, a week before I am due to go back, I will retrain myself.
And it will need to be neat, considering I want to go into forensics where neat handwriting is important.
I made a thing yesterday but no one commented on it. Oh well. I haven't been doing much music lately either, I'm really tired of the amateur music scene and all the bullshit that comes along with it.
also are you up to speed on Adventure Time by any chance? I caught up yesterday.
that DND fanboy would be uh...Pendleton Ward, dude.
well the creator is a big DND fanboy.
Also a Halo fanboy interestingly, though that doesn't show up as much just cuz the setting doesn't invite that sort of reference too well.
I'm watching Northernlion's old Let's Look At of the Basement Collection. Interesting stuff.

Time Fcuk is one of the games in The Basement Collection, yes.
I'm not a huge fan of Edmund McMillan just because I find most of his games sort of gross, but I enjoy his work on a gameplay level.
which reminds me, i have not finished Spewer yet
eh. Cute in some interpretation of the word I guess.
The Binding of Isaac in particular, I could never get past the imagery. Which sucks because the game itself is really good.
The characters in Aether are adorable though.
I still haven't played that one.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Spewer's pretty good, as was the original Meat Boy. Super Meat Boy ramped up the wrongness factor to a level that I'm not really comfortable with.
where are youuuuu
the original Meat Boy had abysmal controls, though.
I've never played Super, as the original didn't interest me enough to want to buy it.
weirdly enough, the controls seemed easier on Kongregate than on the version in the basement collection
which is weird, because shouldn't they be the same?
They were allegedly actually tightened up for the rerelease.
I think that Meatboy was on Newgrounds not Kongregate, by the by, but I might be wrong so w/e.
I'm also kinda surprised you're familiar with this stuff, since I thought you like didn't play video games. Like at all, I thought you said that once.
Evidently, it's on both.
mahbad
also you should check out my Memory of a Broken Dimension thread, strikes me as the kind of thing you might maybe like?
nooope
