Just got this today from LiminalCraft on Etsy:
Happy to finally support the much maligned Ea-Nasir and their amazing copper emporium! I hope I'm not 3750 years too late...
After Ea Nasir notoriously failed in the copper business, he went into computers under the name Ea Games, where he received even more angry letters of complaint than before.

I tried but some BDSM performer already got it. He really dominated the trademark, though maybe he’ll be submissive about it later.
MARIO 3D MAKER ANNOUNCED!!!
FIJMU NEWS 3-6-23 by Kirby Bigboo
With the success of the 2D level designers Mario Maker 1 and 2, Nintendo has announced the upcoming release of Mario 3D Maker, in which players will be able to design and play their own 3D levels like in Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Bowser's Fury.
"The skill level required of the player is greater in 3D," said Mario spokesman Namu Wartveggie, "So Nintendo will be providing classes in 3D design, as well as online courses in 3D modeling, shader construction, and non-uniform rational beta spline modification, which will be the main tool for Mario 3D Maker."
Some fans have expressed concerns that the learning curve may be too steep for casual gamers, but praise the Nintendo's ambition to allow players across the world to make their own levels. According to James Beefcloud Jr., "I have a degree in 3D game design from USC, and worked as a developer on Unreal Engine for several years. This new Mario Maker game is pretty hard to figure out." 11 year old beta tester Daisy Thompworthy disagreed however, "Yeah I mastered it in a couple hours. The interface is slightly counterintuitive but once you get past the non-euclidian modality of the boolean interactions it's pretty easy to make a level. I figured it out between Sekiro speedruns."
Mario 3D Maker will release for the Super Switch console and computers with over 30 terrabytes of RAM in July.

Charlotte’s Web was written by E.B. White as a satire about how people would believe anything they read on the web.

I don’t have too many jokes that have been spread as real facts. Trying to keep track of who’s posted more lies, me or the “real” fact blogs would be an impossible chore.
Quoth the fact blog, “Who keeps score?”
‘The Raven’ was almost ‘The Parrot’. When Edgar Allen Poe first conceived of the poem, he wanted a ‘melancholy’ feel and planned to use ‘nevermore’ as a refrain.
Deciding that a talking, non- reasoning animal would be the best way to repeat the word, Poe first thought of a parrot - until he realized ravens are ‘equally capable of speech, and infinitely more in keeping with the intended tone.’

Why is it so much easier to hit every wrong note when im recording?
If there were no proof of your mistakes, they would not be so agonizing. Thus recorded notes are 780% more likely to be hit wrong.
