Can't get on Instagram suddenly because I guess they logged me out for some reason, and none of their 2FA login methods actually work. Maybe this is where I finally just stop using it

Thank you all so much for the incredible outpouring of support in light of my condition! I am endlessly grateful and honored that my work was able to have such an impact. Now, I would like to meet my future with optimism, so regular posting will resume immediately!

I think I'd try the mushroom that makes you see tiny people. I'd rather see the tiny people than see my skin melting or whatever other bad thing that would def happen to my anxiety riddled brain if I took any other type of psychedelic. Tiny ppl mushroom is really the safest option for me

Hey everyone- as someone who's always had scary health, lost my mom not long ago too, & is dedicated- if you have any rare Mario stuff that you don't think is on the web please break it out and share it/publicly archive it now so he can see it & to also help further doing what he loves so much

Supper Mario Broth@mariobrothblog.bsky.social · yesterday

I am scared I will soon not be able to see Mario again. However, I promise that until that day arrives, I will always be here, posting Mario facts. Thank you all so much for your support through the years.

A month ago, I have started experiencing a sudden rush of serious health issues. It turns out I have heart failure. Despite a lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle, the underlying causes in my case have been genetic so I could have done nothing to prevent it. I have a 2/3 chance of surviving past one year with this condition.
Worse yet, one of the complications from this I am experiencing is retinopathy, a degradation of my eyesight. It is unknown how fast it will progress, how bad it will get, and whether any of the treatment I will receive will be able to slow or cure it.
Further courses of action like surgery may be required in the future.
Since being able to see well is fundamental to my ability to both myself research Mario games and compile the discoveries of others, this may affect my ability to run Supper Mario Broth in the future. However.
I will never forget the promise I have made to you: I will continue running Supper Mario Broth for as long as I am physically able to.
Further health-related issues and hospitalization may result in gaps in content, but only blindness or death will result in me no longer posting Mario facts.
Mario is my life, and sharing these findings is my only purpose.
Please note that this is not a request for any sort of help of support. I already have all the support I could need. All I can do is hope for my frail body to overcome this.
I hope with all my (failing) heart that I can continue doing this for years to come. And if I should one day stop posting: thank you very much for reading.

its not ai, except for the part that would have been done by the largest departments. inbetweens are not a SMALL part. They are not just disposable inbetween keyframes. thats so antithetical to the actual feeling and craft of animation i am BAFFLED.
