Rediscovered a classic in my collection
Between moving thousands of pounds of books twice in a week and having to dig my car out after getting stuck yesterday, my back is not very happy with me.

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

“We need Greenland to thwart the military ambitions of Russia and China.”
Is there anything so helpful to the military ambitions of Russia and China than shredding the transatlantic alliance and the post-WWII order?

My goal this year is to get one new subscriber for Unwinnable Monthly every day. Is that you, today? If you do it, you also get all 24 issues from 2025 right now, which is a pretty good distraction, if you want to be distracted.
