For some reason, I always go to Solarbabies, despite having never seen the film. 🤷‍♀️ My brain is weird.

Completely unsurprising, Super Metroid (SNES) is the one that got me coming back again and again, playing it differently, grinding to improve. Sequences breaking, speedrunning, more fantastic music, Samus lore, all of it. If I’m a “gamer” at all, it’s because of this one game.

This is a surprisingly tough one. I think I can point to three for different reasons: - Keystone Kapers (Atari 2600) was the first game I felt an attachment to. - Battle of Olympus (NES) was what got me exciting about game music, which in turn shaped my relationship to games for decades. But…

Right after a shower is the most well-controlled I can get my natural hair. After this, it poofs into completely untamable “curls”. I’m still growing it out anyway, hoping one day I can tame it. But until then, this is why I wear a wig. 😂😭

My second favorite thing I’ve done with my nails in the past was when I put this smiley face on the back of one nail, so I could have a smile every time I flipped someone off.

See, this is tough. I’d agree with 1 or 2, because you are indeed very approachable and… um… inviting. The intimidation comes later when we realize what we’ve gotten ourselves into and start living this workshop sign. 😂

Oh fun, look what I found in the giant pile of book boxes. This one was still taped, meaning I hadn’t laid eyes on these since at least early 2022, possibly as far as back as 2019, two moves ago. Maybe I should take a poll on what to do with them 🤔🤷‍♀️

It took me quite a while before I started seeing myself in any of mine. Here’s the one that hit me hardest four years ago, compared to me a couple months ago. Even if you ignore the hair color (it’s a wig, after all), FaceApp was way off the mark!

It’s the 40th anniversary of Metroid, so here’s a commission I once got from @bryanvelo.so of a metroid eating a moogle.
A metroid (from Metroid games) latched onto the head of a moogle (from Final Fantasy games). The metroid has a small heart next to it, like it’s happy, while the moogle has “help, kupo” in a thought bubble.

For school, my kid was asked to explain how to make their favorite dish. The result is absolute perfection, and I’ll fight the teacher over it if I have to.
My favorite dish is Jonathan Sawyer's miso-glazed salmon. It's the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and savory, and the texture is perfect.

The first thing you do to get Jonathan Sawyer's salmon is make a reservation at Kindling, his restaurant in the Willis Tower, in Chicago, Illinois.

Next, if you don't live in Chicago, you plan a trip.

Then, you take the bus or "L" from your hotel or house into The Loop.

Lastly, you enter the restaurant and order the miso-glazed salmon.

In the spirit of making something exist before making it good, and to join the celebration of Metroid’s 40th anniversary, here’s my drawn-on-my-phone rendition of Samus.
Very crude linear drawing of a woman with a ponytail and high heels and a visible bust. She has very little definition and no distinction among skin or clothing. Mostly just a white blob inside black lines.

Another thread got me thinking about my early days, so behold the glory of this image from 2021. This was taken after 2-day shipping from the day I said “Fuck it, let’s go. I’m doing this.”

I just noticed I missed another question on ngl.link/gulopine This one’s easy: Christophe Beck’s soundtrack to Paperman (2012). Not only is it beautiful, it specifically starts out down and depressed, meeting me where I am. And then it actively drags me back to joy halfway through.
do you have a piece of media that always cheers you up? music preferably, but other media is fine too.
