Thank you for 6 years of service, Shining Live!

#utapri #uta no prince-sama #shining live #thank you OP for all your work covering shining live in the past!! i didn't really use tumblr when i was actively playing the game #but i loved checking your blog for updates and news anyway #love seeing the lil references to past events and stories in these two pieces 🥺 really cute n heartwarming #i miss this game!! but it had a good run #i've just never been really good at keeping up with gacha games because of fomo and burnout and all that #and as a f2p player it's easy to fall behind but i refuse to spend money since i would def fall into an uncontrollable spiral LOL #so yeah i actually deleted shining live a few events after setsugetsuka because i didn't get Ai and was sad HAHAHA #but if i kept the game i knew that i would probably fall prey to gacha mechanics and spend money sooo. rip to my boy </3 #also deleted prsk on a whim because of gacha reasons + i couldn't connect to most of the characters/the story #and then decided to never play a gacha game again after dragalia lost ended (still brokenhearted about that btw vio rhyse alberia ty dl) #though this new utapri app may drag me back i am in shambles HSKJDAKJ i would do nearly anything for ai.... #anyway im off to reblog that new QN single album art thing because wow that was life changing

For those unaware, Super Mario Maker for the Wii U disabled uploading levels in March of 2021, and is shutting down its servers entirely in April of this year. I don't know if there's a good estimate on how many levels have been created in SMM's lifetime, but in 2016 Nintendo reported about 7.5 million levels created by players, so the number is High.

In the meantime there is a community dedicated to taking every level that has yet to be cleared for the first time, and clearing it. Some of these levels take 6-10 hours of attempts to beat, and some of them use obscure glitches that no one else has discovered. Nevertheless, as of a few months ago there were less than 20,000 uncleared levels and currently there are less than 1,000.

Nothing remains but the most difficult platform experiences you can imagine. The community is confident they can "beat Super Mario Maker" but the deadline is fast approaching. It will be a tight race, and this is shaping up to be a potentially historic moment.

As of yesterday, all levels uploaded in 2016 have been cleared.

#mario #mario maker #smm #smm1 #a mario maker post spotted in the wild... #been watching mm1/mm2 streamers/ytbers for years now #really the only streamers i watch other than oxboxtra shdajfk #was keeping up with thab's and riley's team 0% attempts #and was there for the stream(s?) where barb got sucked into mario maker again LMAO #but i've been kinda offline for the past week or so #and MAN the cleared levels have soared haha #my estimates on how long it'd take based on how many levels were being cleared vs how difficult the remaining ones were very off lol #i was correct in thinking that they'd be able to do it though!! i mean. trimming the herbs is very difficult (understatement) #but i have faith haha #hope i can be there for the clear #anyway i've seen people spend more than 6-10 hours for a clear + way more attempts for tth if counting practice/editor #these people have a level of patience and perseverance (and collaboration!) that i could only dream of and i admire them #something something the human spirit #video games #gaming #nintendo

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

#text post #poetry #in a way #i haven't read the zodiac order origin story in so long haha #happy year of the dragon! #got a lil sick (inauspicious) #but my family came down to visit me so that was very nice :) #here's to a gentle new year #filled with the power to help others.

the beginning and end

#kyousougiga #kyousougiga fanart #the shapes and color and movement here are all just so breathtaking urg my heart #ushering in the year of the dragon by first saying goodbye to the year of the rabbit! #cw: kinda vent-y below! just me using tags to share unrelated thoughts as usual instead of making a personal post like a normal human lol #been in a bit of a sentimental mood lately. thinking about the things that defined who i was/am during those rough teenage years. #things that Changed me. you know? #kyousougiga being one of them...i can only remember the general Vibes (tm) though. no plot points remain in my brain at all haha #there was just this period of time where i was so open to new things even if they weren't popular and/or good (lol) #to be clear kyousougiga was in the unpopular but good category LOL ofc there were also popular and/or bad things too though. #i'd spend all my free time reading books/manga or watching anime i knew nothing about partially to escape and partially to live #oh! listening to music and like. playing indie flash games and visual novels and such too. and fanfiction on luna. those too. #so even though life sucked back then & i can't remember much about anything...i'm thankful. #thank you for teaching me how to live! how to love! how to find happiness in the small things! despite it all! thank you! #even if i forget their titles or plot or characters parts of them live on inside me!! they'll forever be a part of who i am!! #i hope that the rest of 2024 (and beyond!) will also be filled with joy and discovery and love. #i'm so glad i'm alive! even when it sucks i'm still alive!! i'm so thankful to my past self!! i can't wait to meet my future self!!! #despite it all i'm alive!!!!! we're going to make it through this together!! i love you!!!

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

#text post #ouch ouch ouch #the immortality of fiction... #a beautiful phrase #comforting in a way? in that they'll always be there when i go back to them. but also bittersweet in that i've left so many of them behind. #or maybe they're the ones who've left me behind? #anywhoo thanks for putting this into words OP #time waits for no one and all that. i think about this a lot. #about how so many of the characters i fell in love with and grew up with are kids. like wow! i'm older than you! #it's extra weird when it's a character i used to have a crush on but they're like. 16?? i try not to dwell on that too much hah. #they'll still always have a special place in my heart though. #and they've helped make me into who i am today so i'm vv thankful regardless of the dissonance (?) growing up has caused sadfkj #probs related to one of the reasons why i'm still so fond of digimon adventure #because those characters have /literally/ grown up with me - they've actually aged in their canon haha #well. i guess in the end fiction is fiction and life goes on. #just gotta get used to the passage of time + how a lot of the stuff i read/play/watch will continue to feature high schoolers lmaoo #i hope that as i continue to grow and mature that my tastes will change too but that has yet to be seen HAHA

02/02: a promise; bound to meet again.

#persona 5 #persona 5 royal #persona 5 fanart #fanart #beautiful art OP - your stuff is always so gorgeous and a joy to look at urg my heart #lotus - symbol of reincarnation? i always associate it with buddhism. growing beautifully out of the mud. despite despite despite. #searching adds: resilience. new beginnings. detachment. remaining true to yourself (ouch) #couldn't ID akechi's flower so searching time LOL why did i become a biology major if i didn't have the chance to take a botany class. #anyway #possibly forget-me-nots though i tend to associate them with a paler/pastel blue. #symbolism in the name yeah? the poem is already there. searching adds: loyalty. love. memory. (double ouch) #shuake #akeshu #2/2 really is just getting punched in the gut over and over and over again and yet continuing to yearn for more. #and i don't think i ship them HAHAHA #but i am in love with their relationship dynamic and all the symbolism and the delicious things that people create about it #it's so complex and beautiful and destructive and bittersweet and real and heart wrenching and and and #and so much of how i understand joker's character is based off of his relationship with akechi - and vice versa #that i really can't see them as separate entities sometimes. two sides of the same coin and all that. #robbie daymond “you're nothing without me” cover vibes LOL though i am forever faithful to the japanese dub / english sub heh #got to talk a little bit about persona to a real person today - attended a con to support my friend - and what a treat! #so fun to share your hobbies and interests with people. #anyway happy 2/2 everyone. what a day! so much amazing art + writing for this and p3reload. #if i was braver and better at social media i would reblog them all. soon though. gotta get over myself first uurghhgg. #i'm learning how to use tumblr like i haven't been here for nearly a decade already LOL #starting with reblogging things more instead of only liking! and then eventually im going to ask people things off anon! yippee!
