My neighboring dorm and a small brick patio with a bike rack, a grill, and a table with an umbrella sticking out of it.

I essentially lost on that one.  Love me a little bit of false math proofs every now and then.

I played a friend's copy and got all but Rhythm Rally 2 perfect a while back.  Man, that game is picky with timing, and it's never the fast ones I miss.  Getting a perfect on Remix 8 felt pretty awesome, though.

That's almost as amazing as the revelation that the bushes and clouds in SMB are recolors of each other.

I slept through my alarm today and I was supposed to take a stats test at 11:00.  I woke up around 1:40 and emailed my professor right away about a makeup exam.  Around an hour and a half later it occured to me that he might still be in his office for whatever reason, so I checked my email and the course information website, to make sure he hadn't emailed me or put up test solutions.  After a fruitless fifteen-minute walk to and from his office, I checked my email again, to find out that he emailed the entire class something about his not being in his office today mere seconds after I'd last checked my email.  And somehow he either missed my email or ignored it.  It's thereby very likely that I'm going to get a 0 on the test due to my sleeping in today.  I hate my alarm clock now; whose idea was it to invent an alarm of gradually increasing intensity anyway?

Or that picture could at least be used for an "Options" icon or something.  I'm pretty sick of these generic menus we've been getting since roughly SM64DS.

Technically, it's got an element of truth in that the statement is not true, but it's also not false.

I'm dreading what my calculus professor will come up with to fill a fifty-minute test this coming week.  One sufficiently complicated optimization problem would suffice, but I'm sure he'll throw in an iterated integral or two as well.

I heard about that via The Spriters' Resource or such; pretty dang sweet, IMO.  Also, I need to learn to stop posting in the last three spots on a page.

So I was bored today, and I decided to try to TAS something in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.  This was the result.

The low HP sound in any game would probably suffice; Super Paper Mario's rather incessant iteration comes to mind.

Forgot I was reading this in this topic and came very close to losing.

I'm all for online cheaters that cheat their VR up to 35,000 and don't modify anything else, due to that reflecting positively on everyone else's experience.  That's about it.  Offline, however, anything goes; though I don't partake in either kind myself, nor do I intend to.

I'd be more impressed if it actually conformed to the abbreviations on the real periodic table.

I lost, but if I hadn't started coughing due to the virus I recently came down with, I probably wouldn't have.
