    Goddammit people. Mario Kart was one of the last real pure and innocent and good things in this godforaken hellscape of a world we now have. Why? Why go and ruin that? Can we have nothing?

        I missed the memo. How did they ruin it again or is there some other missing context? We'll always have the N64 version. Although Double Dash!! will always be my favorite.

        Oh child. So innocent. So sweet. Please don’t read any book excerpts in The Guardian today. Or maybe ever again just to be safe. Stay just as you are, free from the burden of knowledge you do not want.

        Well, we both make a living partially because of the Internet and I have found money to generally be a good thing. So solid maybe?pic.twitter.com/Me4AvWsfA5

        Today makes me think about my backup plan to build houses and leave computers behind.

        I think @jacobian timing to do the PCT (https://pct.jacobian.org/ ) was pretty perfect.
