I took some dirt from a nearby construction site and made one of those Japanese mud balls. It came out kind of mottled and with some irregularities that I'm sure could have been avoided with actual skill. Still, it came out much shinier and better than I expected. It's cool that you can make something like this out of dirt and now I have something to occupy my hands whenever I want because it can always use one more round of polishing.

And in the car is a hat! So here is someone who both has a means of personal transportation and a warm head. We’re happy for them, right?

After my father died last year I was able to use the inheritance to upgrade my gaming rig. By which I mean just switching the batteries in his portable Cambridge Z88 computer from 1988 worked and it just turned on. I’m gonna see if I can convince it that the 80s are over and then see what kind of games I can run on it!

My job just trensferred me to suddenly being responsible for managing the blood sugar levels of a diabetic 5-year-old. Not without instruction, and I have been doing fine so far, but this is absolutely terrifying because it is so important. I think I can do this, but it is so scary. I'm experiencing whatever the opposite of alienation from your work is right now. It's actually an amazing feeling. Still terrified though.

For the third year running, but the first since federation, this is your yearly reminder that US politician Dan Crenshaw wrote several guides for the 2002 JRPG Suikoden 3. The guides consist of the most comprehensive walkthrough of the entire game, a guide to the endings and story scenes and a list of all the things your private investigator can tell you about the underage girls who are part of your army because it is a JRPG from 2002.

Recap of the evidence gathered previous years:

1. The guides are written under the user name dan_crenshaw, which is a good starting point for evidence but by no means enough on its own.

2. The guides were written right after Dan Crenshaw finished high school, and stopped being updated once he started attending university, so he was the exact right age to be writing these guides and they coincide with a "break" in his life when we don't know what he did.

3. The email adress for providing feedback (dshaw999@bellsouth.net) matches a likely internet service provider for where he was in 2002.

4. He clearly poked his own eye out to be able to look more like main character Geddoe (see picture)

I am still curious if there are any reliable websites to find out how many Dan/Daniel Crenshaws there are in the US. The ones I have found were pointed out the previous years' iterations of this thread to be not too reliable.

EDIT: Forgot to link to the actual guides! Here they are: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/536777-suikoden-iii/faqs

I know I am a few years late to this trend, but I did that thing that used to be huge on the internet and took a hammer to a bunch of aluminum foil and it actually worked! I thought it would be terrible, because every guide I found eventually suggested that you bring out your belt grinder and a bottle of aluminum polish, and I am not a metal worker, so I don't have that. Turns out you can get a very satisfying ball of aluminum with just the foil, a hammer, any kind of flat surface to work on and some toilet paper for polishing.

It's shiny and I made it and I can use it as a stress ball by just tossing it from one hand to the other and feeling the satisfying weight. I love it!
