I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

  • SMG4 is one that comes to mind, having watched his channel since its early days. His older videos, while clearly lacking polish and obviously made by a teenager, were actually funny and memorable. As time went on though, his content started to slip. Sure, the production quality improved as he started Glitchy Boy and later Glitch Productions, but the humour ended up becoming secondary as he switched from self-contained episodes to various “seasons” with ongoing storylines. It meant you had to keep up with every episode to know wtf was going on (the same mistake South Park made), and his attempt at making the series more of a drama than a comedy meant that the humour was more of a distraction that made it hard to take the drama seriously. Why should I believe Mario will die this time if I’ve seen him survive being blown up, set on fire and shot dozens of times before? Some of the best characters (Bowser, Toad, etc) ended up taking a backseat to his numerous OCs as well, and the voice acting sucked compared to back when everyone spoke with various meme clips and subtitles.

    SMG4 was at its best when it was a bunch of multicoloured Marios just doing random funny shit, and didn’t take itself seriously one bit. It’s pretty clear Luke’s passion is with Glitch’s other productions, hence why SMG4 finally ended.




  • I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.

    Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.


  • I’m not even a liberal you dunce, find a better word to describe people who think differently than you do lmao

    I’m well aware and pissed off at of how fucked up America is and the awful things they’ve done and continue to do, that does not make it any more okay for Russia to do the same awful things. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and I can and will criticize both. Whether it be genocide, imperialism, attacks on its own people, or any other harm they cause.
