    Returning to Mario Kart DS

    So, one of the GOATs of all time, Summoning Salt, put out a new video about Mario Kart DS. I’ve always loved MKDS and even thought it was the best MK game to date. At some point, I got discouraged from improving at the game because “it’s too hard,” “snaking hurts my hands,” “mk8 is the best one anyway.”

    WRONG. The video resparked the passion between me and this old racing game. I decided that, at the very least, I was going to upload all of my time trials to the official players page and get ranked. Then, maybe I’d be motivated to beat all my hard earned times?

    Well, I did upload my times. I did get ranked, and it did motivate me to try time trials again. I wasn’t wrong about snaking hurting my hands.

    Here are all the times I uploaded!

    (Non-PRB times)

    As of August 8th, 2024, I was placed 1253th out of 1472 🏆.
    I think that’s pretty good for times I landed back in like 2010.

    Since then I’ve improved some times! I think I improved Luigi’s Mansion by 9 whole seconds. Insanity.

    Link to my players page, in case I forget somehow.

  • Making stupid stuff in Godot 4

    This has been really fun and I’ve learned so much these past few days. Ultimately, it would be really cool to have a playable Dragalia Lost based game. There’s so much to learn still, and I think it might be best to put the idea on hold until I have more experience.

  • Hey, there.

    Yes, hello. I’m bibbleskit (a.k.a Andre).

    I like a lot of things. This site is kinda sorta a way to keep track of all the things I do. It’s mostly for me and future bibs, but it would make me happy if anyone else found anything else here interesting.

    Thanks for visiting.
