I remember Stephen Colbert referring to the experience of watching live-action Speed Racer as being like being put into a dryer drum with a bunch of ignited fireworks, and this is like that for people who play video games imo

And the hidden message says "please may this sell"
Once I decided to rip a bunch of models out of N64 racing games and found a hidden message in unused texture data which hadn't been read by anyone else on earth tcrf.net/AeroGauge

"fuck, man, why am I not as famous as ramesses II?" many people are asking this. the poem got it as wrong as possible.
November 25, 2025 at 9:02 AM
idk how to tell you all this but the guy who did the 'look on my works, ye mighty' thing had it all wrong, because that guy's actual name was ramesses 2. he is literally one of the most famous guys of all time. his works did in fact kind of make many people despair,
