turns out my body is still a machine that turns work stress into GameCube games. luckily, I have also fashioned it into a machine that turns GameCube games into played GameCube games. small victories!

Yet another irresponsible amount of GameCube games accumulated over an admittedly less high-stress (but still relatively high-stress) period in the last few months. In order, the games are...

- Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc (2003)
- Custom Robo (2004)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time + Master Quest (2003)
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006)
- The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (2004)
- Sonic Mega Collection (2002)
- Super Monkey Ball (2001)
- Super Monkey Ball 2 (2002)
- Super Monkey Ball Adventure (2006)
- Odama (2006) (big box edition)

In the background, the Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc (2003) can be seen peeking out from behind the stack of games. Similarly, Pikmin New Play Control (2009) for the Wii can be seen lining the bottom of the stack, trying not to call attention to itself.

evergreen:

A Xeet (formerly Tweet) from Internet "Keep it down please" Hippo (@InternetHippo) that reads

"They taught AI how to talk like a corporate middle manager and thought this meant that the AI was conscious instead of realizing that corporate middle managers aren't"

I should write more game reviews

A purr-fessional business cat, looks forlornly past his newspaper, now gently resting upon the table as if he had just been reading it but placed it down to ponder thoughts that only recently came into focus. It's as if he has had a gentle but somewhat tiring realization. In the foreground, a teacup sits, untouched. Is business cat British? That's up to you to decide.

not pictured: several "tested working" copies of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. my own eternal darkness sanity's requiem was hunting down a working copy of this godforsaken game

Three copies of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (2004), one in a GameCube game case and the others in various mismatched game cases. They are all visually indistinguishable and in ostensibly great condition, but only one works!

perfection

A screenshot from "your ai slop bores me".

The prompt reads "draw me your favorite videogame!!! do it!!! show me peak!!!" The "AI" responded with a picture of Baba, arrow pointing towards Baba, with the caption "this mf is YOU". This is a reference to the videogame "Baba is You".

Snagged these mere days before Pokémon XD dropped on NSO, inspired by the way FR/LG guides are now skyrocketing in price. Felt like Apollo opening my mail while watching the Pokémon Presents. Maybe one day I'll use this gift of prophecy on something that matters...

The Official Nintendo Power Player's Guides for Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Nintendo GameCube.

I pulled one of these immediately

Been a red hot minute since I posted an update about this work-induced crash out, but after a brief, fleeting moment of "we're so back" we have reached dizzying new heights of "it's so over" that scientists are studying in labs across the country for its potency

[ FAVORITE ALBUM OF 2025 ] "Skeletá" (2025) - Ghost ghost.bandcamp.com/album/skelet Sorry to all runners-up, but you never stood a chance in a year with a new Ghost album. I am as obsessed with this satanic hair metal arena rock sound as I was with Opus Eponymous's catchy ritual worship tunes.

Key art for "Skeletá" by Ghost: a perspective-warping view of a skeletal take on the Mormon Mirrors of Eternity that evokes the warships of classic Star Wars.

[ FAVORITE TV SERIES OF 2025 ] The Rehearsal, Season 2 (2022) www.serializd.com/review/34668... I don't know which god we scorned to create Nathan Fielder, but watching this in 2025 felt like discovering a prophecy just moments before it came true. Captivating but madness-inducing cinema.

Key art for the Rehearsal, Season 2 (2022): Nathan Fielder with his portable laptop station standing on the wing of a commercial passenger plane, as viewed through the window of a plane seat.

big fan of this goofy game about cooking eggs

A cyber-enhanced woman is dancing at the club and shouting "fuck daylight savings"

A man lays face-down on a table, totally distraught, lamenting "why isn't anyone interested in discussing politics with strangers anymore!"

A cyber-enhanced man sits at a table in a chic cafe, suggesting "kill yourself" to his date

A prison guard addresses two cybernetic android prisoners who are seated on two separate toilets in their cell, arranged next to each other, cheek to cheek, stating "I assure you, we can reconfigure the toilets if needed"

A sealed copy of "Office Space" (1999) on PSP UMD Video (2005) felt too appropriate not to be my final pickup of the year (2025)

A sealed copy of "Office Space" (1999) on PSP UMD Video, purchased for a crisp $24.99 entirely as a bit. If you look closely and don't get distracted by the Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 desk mat, a sneaky NTSC-J PS1 copy of "Policenauts" (1996) can be seen in the upper-right corner.

Real as hell, I was literally thinking of this one from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night when I wrote that:

A retro achievement for Castlevania Symphony of the Night titled "Rondo of Blood Gaiden" that reads "Finish the game as Richter in one sessions defeating all the bosses and without using save points to refill your health." It's currently sitting at a 1.12% completion rate.

Gex: Enter the Gecko (Gex 2) had a generally offputting artstyle since everything was an off-brand, uncanny valley pastiche of pop culture, but those horror channel levels legit fucked 6yo me up. Cute mascot platformer my ass

A candle lit gothic castle hallway with impossibly high ceilings and a frightening alien robot thing portrait in the center.

A pitch dark, multi-tiered room with sparse candles throughout, marked by a blood-splattered sign that reads "step into the light".

A hospital morgue at the bottom of a steep slope with a completely blackened corner at its deepest point.

The vantage point from a ledge above a grimy, industrial hospital morgue, with one of the morgue body compartment doors open and empty, surrounded by bloodied hospital gurneys.

that's totally valid, I bought it on sale and I feel like I borderline robbed the devs

I immediately thought of LocoRoco as soon as I saw that goofy face

Alright, I'm locking these in. I'm never gonna be fully satisfied though because jfc 2015 was such a stacked year that every single individual category was a complete bloodbath
