Over a decade after the game released, I decided to finally beat all the staff ghosts on Mario Kart 7. Some were definitely trickier than others, but the hardest was by far Cheep Cheep Lagoon. The strat for that track is pretty jank with doing tricks off the ground underwater. Definitely the...
My first scientific article was published today! I'm so happy. I started writing it last June, so it took almost a year to get it out. Now that I have experience, I hope the others go quicker. I need to publish at least 3 articles for my PhD.
James Cameron's Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time with over $2 billion grossed. I remember so many people seeing it back in the day because of its then innovative and impressive use of 3D. Unfortunately, the movie hasn't aged all that well due to its lackluster story. It's...
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 8/10
I enjoyed this movie a lot. It felt much more like a videogame than the first one. I especially loved the maze section and the final battle. Gave me classic Sonic level/boss vibes. Also, I loved the dance scene in Siberia. I thought they would copy the bar fight...
I had a lot of fun writing for this round. I hope my entry wasn't too long! Thanks to everyone who voted for my entry and congratulations to Mighty Mario and Mido as well!
Made in Abyss - 10/10
One of the most emotional and beautiful anime I have ever seen. Those last few episodes traumatized me. I now need to watch the canon third movie next.
One Piece Movie 7: The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle - 6/10
Luffy finding out massive secrets by being...
Honestly, I stopped growing somewhere around 20 years old, so I've been wearing the same clothes comfortably for years now. I would say shirts last a little shorter for me than pants. I also tend to buy underwear and socks more often. Maybe every 4-5 years.
In the past year or so, I finally got some of the things I wanted to learn off my bucket list like learning to code. I wouldn't say I'm an expert by any means, but I'm at least competent at HTML5 and CSS as well as Visual Basic. I'd like to tackle Python sometime next.
Aside from that...
Still slowly making my way through several games, namely Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby's Adventure, and my replay of Kid Icarus: Uprising, but then I inevitably go and play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Super Mario Maker 2 instead.
Jimmy brings up a great point about never truly owning games and losing them potentially forever when the subscription service ends. Although I dislike Nintendo closing the 3DS and Wii U eShops in the near future, I'll still have the games I downloaded on my system. That won't be true of the...
One Piece. I've been making my way through the series since January. I've watched over 270 episodes and the first 8 movies so far. That might not seem like the fastest pace, but I've definitely watched it faster than most shows. Hoping to pick things up again in the second half of May.
I voted for Shadow because we haven't gotten an early game shadow themed dungeon in any Zelda game if my memory serves me correctly. So that'd be a cool break from conventions. Maybe something that relies more on some puzzles revolving around darkness more so than enemies.

This makes sense. We haven't heard...
I had my first poster session at a scientific conference today. It was all on Zoom, so a little less pressure. I had a great time and the people there asked some good questions. I just wish the time was a little better for me, haha. It started at 4 AM. Now I'm going back to sleep. Over the...
