More silly MXTX polls to mull over for the week:

The Fourteen Hidden or "Bug" Audios In Order, With Reasoning

(i think! I'm fairly confident in this! I'm willing to Debate!)

12-14 / Howdy & Barnaby

[we know that Barnaby and Wally go to Howdy's every morning]

8-14 / Eddie & Frank

[the post office is right across from Howdy's]

6-14 / Julie & Frank

[Wally isn't scared of bugs, so he could be recruited to help with Frank's gardening problem]

1-14 / Howdy & Poppy

[Howdy mentions that he has a shipment waiting for his signature]

3-14 / Howdy & Sally

[it's possible that Wally went to Howdy's to get something for the beetles]

13-14 / Howdy & Eddie

[it looks like Wally just bought a box of apples, or something similar. Howdy signs for the shipment]

4-14 / Barnaby & Frank

[behind the pins, it looks like there's an apple or two on the ground. the shape and color is wrong for it to be tomatoes. an offering for the beetles?]

9-14 / Frank & Poppy

[the table is clear of yarn, and Frank references the damage done to his garden]

2-14 / Sally & Poppy

[there are cookies - Poppy mentioned to Frank that she might have a non-seed recipe for his butterflies]

10-14 / Julie & Sally

[Wally could have gone with Sally to help with the script reading]

5-14 / Barnaby & Eddie

[Eddie mentions that it's late in the day, and he already delivered the bowling balls]

7-14 / Eddie & Julie

[Barnaby calls, asking after Wally]

11-14 / Julie & Barnaby

[the lighting through the trees looks like afternoon/evening]

14-14 / Barnaby & Home

[the end deterioration is very final, and Barnaby references things that happened throughout his other audios]

for me, some level of trauma related to being the least-favourite child is directly related to playing videogames and boredom

growing up my younger sister got handed the SNES controller and i didnt. she played with my parents and by herself and i watched but didnt play. sometimes this was because i wasnt allowed and other times i thought it was a choice, even though, my choice was because i didnt know how to play and if i asked my mom would have said "really? you want me to start a whole new save file JUST for you?" and i would have quietly said nevermind, and remembered not to ask ever again

when we got a wii, for my sister's birthday she got 2 wii games. for my birthday i got decorations even though i was too young to understand what a decoration is and i just tried playing with them (emphasis on try). sometimes i would come home from school and my sister would have a random gift (something i never got) - another wii game! because it was on sale at blockbuster, and oh sorry Luna, we didnt get anything for you because they didnt have anything you would like.

by the end of our wii, i had 1 wii game that was mine - i chose whenever i wanted to play it, for how long, and if anyone else wanted to play it they had to ask. that was the rules, because it was mine. my younger sister has 11 wii games.

when i was in middle school, i was not allowed to get a better (real) console. it was too expensive. plus, we have the wii, it works perfectly fine, just play on that. m...my one game? that i've been playing since i was 9? that i've 100%'d 5 times? yes.

when i was in highschool i wasnt allowed to have money, especially not to spend online. "luckily" i met an internet friend who was a hacker and sold what he claimed to be abandoned steam accounts. he gave me one for free. i played stardew valley and oblivion religiously, because my laptop was built in 2010 and could barely handle the lowest graphics settings of a game several years older than it. it ended up getting double-hacked so after a year of using it, i once again had no more videogames

now im an adult and i just... cant play videogames. basically none of them. after abut 30 minutes of playing i get so anxious that i have to stop. i havent played stardew valley in about 2 years, my favourite game of all time that i used to stay up until 8am playing.

the game loads, and im anxious because i forget the controls. i walk up to an npc and get anxious because if i dont pick the perfect dialogue tree, im failing myself by not being perfect, so i'll pause the game and go on my phone for 10 minutes to find the answer (i HATE doing this.) i approach a puzzle and im anxious because what if im not smart enough to solve it and i fail again? i need to check if anyone's in the room with me now because if anyone is watching me play they'll know i'm a failure too so i should stop playing. but, videogames are communal (they must be,) i have only ever experienced playing them with someone else there (watching sibling/parents play, watching youtube letsplays) but if someone else sees me fail i'm the worst person ever. and i mean, realistically, how do you even play a videogame for more than 1 hour? how do focus on 1 thing for that long? sounds fake to me

but... i want to play videogames. i know they're experiences. and i want to have experiences. especially because as a disabled person my only other option is youtube. so if i'm not playing videogames, i'm bored out of my skull laying in bed, doing nothing, staring at my youtube screen watching the exact same video essay for the 6th or 7th time this week because the algorythm's only other choice is "perfect damascus steel knife blade DIY"

other than youtube, what am i supposed to do? i cant play videogames - i'm not perfect at them, i cant focus, and i just dont deserve them. there is nothing else.

Hey Cam! Do you like to play sports? If not, what's your favorite video game?

"In more detail, I played a shit ton of basketball back in my high school days, and I was one of the best players on my team! It's just a small hobby of mine nowadays, though."

Family get-together with the pack: Loud blaring music, muffled conversions and gossip, people raging and laughing over video games, lots and lots of food. Just utter chaos, but the best kind of chaos.

Family get-together with the Solaire clan: William is knitting/crocheting, Sam is reading, Lovely is painting, and Vincent is studying for DAMN. Just in pure silence. This is bonding.

Who the Batfam mains on Mario Kart Wii

According to @godlytomatoes and me (also sorry its not the full list that i usually do ): )

Dick- Toad (he likes the funny noises that Toad makes and repeats them back to the screen like a big blue parrot. also high acceleration and low weight makes a character that can zoom off the track in funny ways)

Babs- Birdo (Birdo is cool and anyone who thinks otherwise can play Babs in Mario Kart and lose.)

Jason- Bowser (to quote 50% Off, “it’s a serious game. i pick Bowser. i play to win.”)(also i main bowser when im not toad and i love jason and yeah it just fits. the aesthetic is immaculate -ketchup)

Tim- King Boo (edgy boy. “have you ever known an emo kid who didn’t play king boo?” - @space-specs )

Steph- Daisy (funky little redheaded princess who doesn’t get enough love. steph also doesn’t get enough love. also steph thinks daisy is better than peach)

Cass- Rosalina (rosalina is a goddess, okay, also she’s a female heavyweight character and that is fantastic and good. also she has a little friend luma that follows her around when you race and cass would love that.)(i also love that so of course she would -ketchup)

Duke- Peach (he doesn’t care that steph thinks that peach is a loser. she is so much better than mario and was treated poorly by nintendo. she is a princess and is also a badass. let her be a badass.)

Damian- Yoshi (he likes the green dinosaur boy. yoshi is a awesome character and damian preferred that option over bowser jr like jason was trying to get him to play)

Bruce- Mario (he’s a basic bitch but also calls mario “wario”.)(he does it to mess with his kids. he knows the character is actually called luigi)

Alfred- doesn’t partake (he has to referee, bc competitions over mario kart get intense.)

[hoppinkiss]

I played my childhood wii today. I’m actually surprised this system held out since like, 2007 with no repairs yet. Anyways I left some messages for future me on that board thingy, thinking maybe I’ll look back and be as nostalgic as I am for the ones my family used to leave.
