So something I noticed about the Cheep Cheep from Mario Kart: Super Circuit it resembles the Big Blurp. I wonder if this implies Blurps are a subspecies of Cheep Cheeps.
I just bought a new Huion HS64 & I'm going to be drawing at least one picture every single day! If it wasn't abundantly obvious, I'm not exactly an artist, but I've always wanted to be able to draw little cartoons. I looked online for some drawing advice, & every single source said that the only way to get any better is to "practice, practice, practice", so I figured I should show the entirety of Tumblr where this practice will take me!
For day 1, I decided I needed to draw something super simple that I could easily recognise - why I didn't just draw an apple is a complete mystery. This is a whomp from Mario Kart Super Circuit, or rather, this is a terrible drawing of a whomp from MKSC... I'm not proud of this drawing, but it is (admittedly) hilarious & an honest representation of just how awful I am at art.
If anyone has any advice whatsoever, then feel free to comment, I need all the help I can get!
Search Engine Optimisation filters internet searches to the appropriate target by optimising the relevance of the query. Accomplished using keywords, 'bots' scour the search engine in its own language and series of code, abbreviated to HTML - hypertext markup language (Bradshaw, 2013). As a consequence, this provides a search engine results page, hopefully bringing the browser to an applicable outcome.
First, by application of Panda techniques, the content must be clear and concise for consumers to locate the magazine. It is vital to ensure accurate spelling and unwavering product descriptions, whilst diminishing the chance of encountering a low-quality website.
Secondly, under the penguin method, referencing reliable links can aid in SEO, based on their trustworthiness (Berman et al., 2013). For increased traffic, it is more effective to use established links. Nudges towards sites, such as Instagram or Youtube, will be favoured in contrast to lesser known pages.

I am soooo freaking excited to re add this to the collection! Guys. Real talk? This is literally one my highest rated games of all time. It’s such a holy grail to me. I grew up on this game. And while I might have nostalgia glasses on about my childhood games, but I love this game more than most. Gotta give a huge thanks to @worldofretro for sending this my way. A (mostly) sealed copy at that. Wow. Incredible. - #gamer #videogames #nintendo #gameboy #gameboyadvance #gba #mario #mariokart #supermario #supermariokart #mariokartsupercircuit #mksc #32bit #racing #racinggames (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2kVTNnuYx/?igshid=1vpt3q1dixkd7
Since the division of Mario Kart series grand prix cups in new and retro cups, certain names have been reserved for certain types of cup (e.g. Mushroom Cup always contains new tracks, Shell Cup always contains retro tracks). However, the Lightning Cup did contain new tracks in the game it was introduced (Mario Kart: Super Circuit) before being changed to a retro cup in Mario Kart DS.
Sky Garden debuted in the Lightning Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit before returning in the Lightning Cup in Mario Kart DS, making it the only track in the series that has ever been twice in the same cup it debuted in.

I got Mario Kart: Super Circuit on VC thinking it would be just like MK64
It is not. It’s more of a mix of Super Mario Kart and MK64, more like the former than the latter.
This game lacks depth graphics wise. Walls and ramps are just as flat as the road ahead of you. Cheese Land, a course which I adore in MK8, suffers the most from the lack of depth as it has many overlapping roads.
I guess the GBA wasn’t powerful enough to define walls and ramps clearly. Not even the coins stand up straight.
Oh, and the controls are horrible. Sliding everywhere to the point of almost going in the wrong direction.
Yeah, this is not the “critically acclaimed” game I expected. Maybe it was wonderful in 2001, but it’s aged terribly. Either way the courses have interesting themes, ignoring the culturally insensitive thing about Sunset Wilds, and I hope more of them can be re-imagined in later games, like they have with Cheese Land and Ribbon Road.
Playing SRB2 Kart with the same group of friends again. The playback desynced but don’t know by how much but looks like it was fixed so after.
But I used to hate this stage since It’s very easy to miss your mark but after learning tricks from my friends, the stage is not as bad but still not fond of it but it was fun.
I am glad that SRB2Kart replays are handy for watching a race or match.
Goes without saying but I’m playing as Princess Daisy. :3
Prompt from ff.net for Andy not to appreciate seeing a witness flirt with Sharon. Parts of this aren’t how I would normally write them, but the prompt made it hard to avoid it.
...It was after 7:00, so Sharon decided it was best for everyone to call it a day and start fresh the next morning. She was too tired to deal with Andy, so she took her time packing her things in her office, hoping he would be gone by the time she had her office locked up. If she knew him like she thought she did, he'd probably left as soon as he could to give himself a chance to cool down before he saw her again. Which was fine with her. She was too tired and in too ill of a mood to deal with his sad puppy eyes.
Sure enough, the murder room was empty, but Sharon was surprised to see Andrea leaving the electronics room as she walked toward the elevators. When she wasn't in the murder room when she'd gotten out of the interview, she'd assumed she left as soon as it was over. "Oh, good, you're still here. You free for dinner?"
Andrea nodded. "Please, I'm starving. And I could kill a couple of glasses of wine."
"Me, too. It's been a minute since I've really talked to anyone that doesn't have a penis. I need some girl time."
“You should've seen Andy," Andrea commented as they sipped their glasses of wine. "He did not like you flirting with that lech."
"It was just to get him talking more," Sharon defended herself, "and at least someone's flirting with me, for once. I might as well be Andy's sister."
Andrea nodded. "It wasn't a judgment—Andy needs to pull his head out of his ass. Even if you were genuinely flirting with that creep, who could blame you? He was freaking hot."
"Wasn't he?! I think my tubes came untied just from sitting across the table from him. I'm pretty sure he could've unhooked my bra with his eyes if he wanted to."
Andrea shrugged. "I certainly would let him try, should the situation present itself. Damn."
Sharon sipped her wine. "I've been just as uncertain about Andy as I guess he is about me, if not more, but I let him know not long ago that I was ready to date when he was. I know he got the message, because he looked a little panicked. It would be so much easier if we didn't work together and weren't already good friends. We care a lot about each other, but if our relationship didn't work out for some reason, there's a lot at stake. I wouldn't want things to be awkward at work or to lose a good friend, and I'm sure he feels the same way."
"You guys still need to give it a shot. How will you know if you don't try? You'll spend your life wondering what could have been."

...Andy grinned. "It's pretty funny now, but then, not so much."
Sharon wiped her eyes. "I can't imagine." This wasn't exactly traditional first date conversation material, but they'd gotten through that when they were oblivious to the fact that they were dating. They were comfortable enough with one another to have more personal conversations now. The reservations Sharon'd had about "officially" dating were starting to fade. She spaced out for a minute, so she jumped when Andy pulled her into his arms.
“Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you, but when Lionel's singing, you have to dance."
Sharon looked up at Andy. "Another rule?"
Andy shrugged. "Hey, at least my rules are fun, unlike someone's I can think of."
"I'll give you that." This was where she wanted to be. Making dinner with Andy and swapping stories about their pasts and dancing in the kitchen and Andy having rules like you have to dance when Lionel Richie is playing...
Full story is on AO3, and will be on ff.net as soon as mine starts cooperating. Hope y’all like it! :)
