But Lispers Are Worse

Last week I made fun o’ Ruby for the crime o’ being used by idiots who don’t e’en know why they like it. But Lispers are hilariously crazy. Just read through the “SmugLispWeenies” pages on C2Wiki, a TV Tropes for programming that bewilderingly has e’en fewer standards & civility. Just look @ this: Most “commercial […]

Garfield: Search for Pooky

Pictured: a smug fuck. Also pictured: JPEG artifacts in a GBA game. That’s right, bitches & kitchens: I’ve officially dedicated April to the… um… less pristine classics o’ the Game Boy Advance as a tail-end to my GBA tribute that’s lasted o’er a year1. ¿Why April? ’Cause like my main gangster T. S. Eliot told […]

10 Reasons this Post is No Ruby

Since I’m sick o’ political bickering, I’ll focus on the much mo’ important issue o’ programming language wars. The most interesting thing ’bout programming languages is how their quality is inversely related to the quality o’ the people who use them. While I’ve found nobody who defends PHP beyond “it’s faster” & “it’s convenient”, & […]

The Shot that Was Not

You ‘scaped my camera eye this time, my lovely waxing-gibbous morning moon, by making its battery run out o’ time just in time. But next time…

Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy: Jawbreakers!

I wanted to end my GBA Tribute with Mario vs. Donkey Kong on March 21, exactly 1 year after I started it. But then I remembered I absentmindedly forgot this pillar o’ gaming & knew I had to continue. Also, I ne’er did Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. But that’s later. We have, ahem, a […]

An Inquiry into the Proposition in Regards to Economics Utilizing Programmic Language ( or: Economists Should Use Programming Languages ‘Stead o’ Math Language )

A common criticism gainst economics is that it uses incomprehensible math language to describe itself, as if that’s the true reason a bunch o’ rich academics prefer philosophies that benefit rich academics. ‘Cause we know from the Tea Party Movement that plain ( AKA sloppy ) language ne’er leads to sloppy economics ( i.e. economics […]

Mario vs. Donkey Kong

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is ’nother game I neglected to write ’bout. It’s based on the Game Boy Donkey Kong, — or “Donkey Kong ’94”, as we say in Rogueport — which was amazing & underrated: it’s a puzzle platformer wherein each level is split into 2 parts: in the 1st, you need to grab […]

Debunking the Linguistic Rule Against “Mo’ Unique”

It’s truly the greatest threat to our present society — much mo’ than Hairpiece, fascist corporatism, or Google searches that give me stupid listicles ‘stead o’ useful info. A common grammar “rule” is that unique can’t be modified with words like “very” or “mo’” ’cause “unique” means “1 o’ a kind”.1 E’en in the comments […]

The World’s Worst Review in which I Disagree with Its Conclusion ( How Not to Write a Review: Lessons from Gather Your Party )

Actually, sadly, this negative review o’ Wario Land 3 isn’t as bad as the positive one I made fun o’, since this writer actually managed to consistently follow his thesis. Still, his arguments are shallow, so let’s take the effort to defend this 10+-year-ol’ game. This reviewer argues that Wario Land 3 is not only […]
