I am fascinated by Earnest Evans. I have been on the internet so long that I have developed aversions to other people’s hive mentality about what “retro” games are “good” and “not good” and worth hoarding the original ephemera for and trying to impress your grandchildren with.
or even simply stating awareness of an old game as a point of your religion,

and it wears on me beyond reason.
Evans is hilarious to me, but since I never knew of it before I saw internet folk mocking it, I have worried that me thinking it was funny was inorganic to me and hypocritical, since I find their cycles of praise and mockery equivalent to what the previous generation of media did with the likes of britney spears.
However basic taste isn’t necessarily any individual’s fault. And also the judgement toward me tends to not be as harsh as my judgement toward others or myself, because while a lot of people think dumb things are important I generally think different dumb things are important.



However I refreshed myself with it and despite its interesting programming it still feels fairly irredeemable. Even save state cheating I apparently couldn’t get anywhere years ago, and trying it now* I still couldn’t.

but the important thing is I had an excuse to post that image I started with and also this stupid gif, since initially I made it after dwelling on my declaration of evans as “horrible” in response to arguably more worthless content on the twittor website. I give far too much effort to the crafting of remarks and imagery that nobody will see on there. I would much rather nobody see it here, where I can actually find it later.

And where I don’t risk losing followers for saying “obsequious mario fans aren’t just scum but also extremely boring” because the I don’t have followers here, and in fact the concept doesn’t even exist. But the real question, is it possible to be an obsequious fan of anything without also being scum and boring? probably not but that is what I get videos shoved at me about, generally. I should be glad their idiot fandom economy is largely created by them rather than the entirely corporate papacy that exploits obsequious american football fans or the crypto currency criminal pseudo-psience-pselling aspiring murderers who exploit obsequious mixed martial arts fans, but I don’t know any of them on twitter now that my brother is banned again. He also moved into my basement yesterday so I suppose I will know if he sees this.
