He'll be so happy to have something to keep his mind occupied by when he loses Benjin.

Whenever it turns out that the perfect word I have for a situation in my writing is one I've quite possibly made up, I just keep it in anyways. 

Because if Will got to make up as much shit as he wanted then so can I.

"Indignance is inevitable in life. There will always be days that seem to be messing with your plans. People's inconsistency will drive you crazy. But whatever happens, try to live life and enjoy what you're doing, thinking that everything happens for a reason, even the most illogical ones. This will help you to move on with bitterness"

nintendo

"ok, just how the hell did this guy make a mockery of something as innocent and pure as nintendo," this title might prompt you to ask

and i have to admit, what happened today is not something necessarily confined to the realm of nintendo

there are likely analogs of these behaviors in any game

video or otherwise

but to set the scene

me and other roommate have been playing around with the nintendo 64 we have at our apartment

because we are men of good taste

we've each started a save file on paper mario

and i also brought up a cartridge of f-zero x, which we had a good time last night being utterly humiliated by

so tonight, republican roommate came downstairs

while other roommate is watching the ending to paper mario, having just beaten it

republican roommate decides

just at this moment

that the nintendo is perhaps lonely

or aching

but, at any rate, direly in need of human contact

rough human contact

and the lovely animations are replaced immediately with a cascade of random numbers

if you have ever - ever - owned an old cartridge console

you would know without ever having been told that you should NEVER

TOUCH IT

WHILE OPERATING

to make matters worse, this nintendo 64 is in fact the property of republican roommate, so it's not as though he's unfamiliar with the machine

and, to add a new layer of perplexity, he is rabidly defensive of his far-less-finicky XBoxes (he has two)

well, we both stare at him, indignant at the massacre he's purveyed upon the newly righted mushroom kingdom

luckily, other roommate just shrugs it off - it's the second time he's beaten the game

so we make, perhaps, a peace offering - we ask republican roommate to play f-zero x with us

i have to admit that part of me just wanted to see him play a game far out of his league

and i was indeed rewarded with such a result, if only because he hasn't played in years

but the result had itself a result:

as soon as he fell off the track, he paused, scrolled down to Retry, and pressed A

all in one unfeeling motion

and this

is not

ok.

other roommate and i were doing particularly well, and were already on the second lap

tracks don't even last long - he'd be out of the game for perhaps half a minute

but nay, this was too much to ask of him

when our indignation was again apparent

through, perhaps, our immediate voicing of it

he acted like this was a very normal thing

a mere accident

an unrestrainable impulse

i am afraid that i should now seek medical help

some type of optical restraint

because a person's eyes can likely roll only so hard

before they gain sentience

wrench free from their sockets

launch across the room

and bore through a man's cranium
