If you like Batman & Robin, I have a feeling you'll like Super Mario. They're very similar in tone. Kinda dark and grimy but not in a serious way, and everyone involved in making it was embarrassed by it later

Yeah, the Super Mario Movie is definitely on my to-watch list!

I also remember something else I am super fascinated by but have seen nobody else care about: UMDs! Specifically movies on UMD!

For those who have been living under a rock for the past 15 years, UMDs (Universal Media Discs) are what the discs the PSP used are called, the tiny discs inside caddies.

It’s like the latest technology I’d genuinely be excited to talk about but have nobody to discharge my obsession on! The idea of using tiny discs on a game console is unusual enough, though it made sense at the time, what didn’t make sense was putting movies on it when portable DVD players were a thing and iPods that can store and play video were just rolling around.

Despite this, just about every studio signed up for it, and you can find any film that was around during the late 2000s on UMD. I’ve been collecting them, and always jump at the chance to get my favorite films on the format! They’re also dirt cheap, mostly because I’m the only person in the world who actually wants them!

I’ve heard about this. It sounds insane! How on earth do they do it?

I recently got the "complete" box-set from a flea market a while back. (Quotation marks because it was released before the revival)

I love Futurama, it's one of the funniest shows I've ever watched!

I got an network extender as the new router my family got doesn't extend far enough into my room, and it uses the power-lines on our grid to do so.

I had no idea you could even do that, but it evidently works!

Summer because I'm not freezing cold in the house...

Mario or Sonic?

I've always been kind of critical of Neocities because while it allows people with no computer experience to set up a website, it's all controlled by a singular entity, and really, it's not your website at all: you borrow someone else's computer to upload your HTML.

I mean, that's generally how web hosting works, right? Not everyone can or are bothered to self-host. This isn't a criticism of Neocities, it's just standard practice.

If Neocities shuts down, we will be before yet another exodus like Geocities itself and all will be lost. If they decide to monetize, people are pulled in. If they decide to ban you for the content on your website, they can.

This is also a fear of mine. As great as I think Neocities is, a molopoly is still a monopoly. It would be great to see proper alternative hosts like Neocities. Only one I can think of is itci.city, and I don't know anyone who uses that.

I enjoy listening to mixtapes I've made while browsing the net. These tapes are full of songs I enjoy from Youtube, Soundcloud and Spotify. I like not having control of what song comes next, and I typically don't look at what tape I select, so there's also an element of randomness to it!
