May 11 was once again bimshwel’s birthday. That is somewhat confusing since I have lately taken to allowing myself to be called bimshwel, and that is not my birth-day. I sold mine to cover ransom expenses. However, it was very close to mother’s day, and I am like this website’s mother. It gave me no honor on my day, and when I waited for its day, I decided it should also wait, hence a post on May 12. But then I could not find the pictures I needed, so I pushed it back to May 13. However, on May 13 I need to issue an education presentation on the subject of dopes at the debut of the world famous “Jess and Ian Show” (featuring Ian of Joey and Ian: Gettin’ Dead fame) in New Haven, so I brought this post back to May 12. All this time travel is wearing me out.
Legally, the website is thirteen years old. I remember when I turned 13, in 1996. The nintendo 64 ehhhntertainment system was just being released, and I became almost instantly disillusioned with and bored by 3d, and it never let up in the years since, thereby thoroughly cutting me off from about the only interest I up to that point shared with people my own age, concurrent with video games becoming the PRIMARY bonding medium for those people. And they act as if video games prior to the point when I started hating exist only as meritless kitsch to use in obnoxious breakfast cereal advertisements. I took a picture of some tacky “retro” pixel art being used to sell some surely appetizing packaged ingredient formation in a 7-11 a year ago and just now spent an hour searching for it, with no results. What misery! How could you treat your own mother like that! I would send you to your room, but I decided being vicariously lived-through by an abusive parent is punishment enough.

This here`s me trackback!

Good luck with the show! if I still lived in CT I’d attend some of your fabulous performances. I can’t imagine what it would be like, and that excites me.
Frimpinheap sez:
I will take the luck, thank you, but I would not call the performance fabulous and this is at present the only one scheduled! However, I would like to progress in that direction since I am concerned this one will be boring, and I am not getting anywhere while boring! I mention it here more to explain any odd recent actions/inactions than because I think I will reach someone who can attend.
Purplespace sez:
I too wish you good luck on your show!
Everyone always mentions how Mario 64 supposedly revolutionized 3D gaming because it had a camera view that wasn’t as awful as other games. However, anytime I see anyone play that game of the Mario, they almost always end up complaining how the things you have to do are annoying.
Frimpinheap sez:
My issue was that after Mario 64, I didn’t want to do any more of that, but then almost everything was just a less good version of it. Jumping was fun, actually landing on something was not. And then going through the same stage 8 times seemed rather unoptimized and repetitive. I probably bring this up too often!
The show went rather long and I was not able to exhibit, but that just gives me another week to fixate on my routine’s possible inadequacy and not let myself move on to something else.
Indighost sez:
You have a routine! :D Ok, now I am very excited. Are you sure there won’t be a youtube recording? And how would you categorize said routine? Comedy? Vaudeville? Burlesque? Cabaret?
Frimpinheap sez:
Literally I planned to show drawings I made and talk about them in the same manner I would on the internet. I intend to make a video of it (I meant to for a few years) but I will not be physically present in that.

“3DPD” is the theme song of several boards I’d rather not name. You couldn’t find the specific pixel art game through reverse image search? I couldn’t imagine why! You probably accidentally invented an entire new genre by holding the camera slightly sideways and causing the pixels to be angled. If the pixels were depicting a sad female then you deserve an award.
