Did the Gexposter just lose interest? I remember Mary Worthposting started like a full ten days later and then all of a sudden Mary Worth is catching and passing Gex.

Absolutely loved those games. I never played all the way through 2, but I beat the first game, including wobblewok and milked 3 for more playtime than anyone should reasonably put into any videogame. I am still mourning the loss of ykw3 pvp. It was almost dead for basically the full run, but it was such good shit that I'd just hop on and leave it searching for a battle and do something else and usually someone else would get on an hour or so later. Might have been the most fun I've had playing any game. I hit S+ but was stuck there for the last couple years before nintendo shut down the pvp. I almost 100%ed that game, the only things I couldn't get done were getting to S++ on ranked battles, getting the last orignyan voice that was a prize for reaching S++, and getting the trophy for finding pandanoko or starry noko in the VIP room (very rare streetpass, almost impossible to get legitimately without living in downtown Tokyo to be nearby a lot of people who have the game).
Here's the hexbear post I made on yo-kai a year ago.
I loved how weird Hazy Lane was, amazing feature. I think the infinite tunnel in 2 was essentially the same thing, but I never did much of that one.
Also one time I was trying to look up how a game mechanic worked and I stumbled on a twitter post that was like five months old about being really impressed with a creative strategy someone used in pvp and they gave a screenshot of my profile and finding that might be the biggest high I've ever gotten from a video game.
I'm 13/15 on my posts being objectively bad.
No idea what the count is, but Tervell's record for hexbear posts with no engagement will never be topped. I swear it's been years where if I see a post that's been up more than a couple hours with 0 comments or just one comment and it's the video bot, there's like a 90% chance it's him. Just looking now, he has more posts with zero engagement in the past four days than all the posts, engagement or not, that I've made over the the five years I've had an account here. Absolute GOAT.
Gonna be honest they did the person woman man camera tv test with me when I was in the hospital with sepsis a couple months ago and I only remembered three of the words at the end, I couldn't get the last two even with reminder hints. Oh well, we can't all have the best brain.
I was almost positive op had some form of "he'll conclude vaccines are the cause" under the spoiler.

Source for that claim?
Yes, but Oveckin will probably finish his career with maybe 5% more goals and like 60% fewer assists. For players with point totals in the same ballpark you'd defer to the goalscorer, but they're not remotely close. Gretzky had more assists than any other player, Ovi included, has points (goals+assists combined).
I grew up near DC and hopped on the bandwagon in middle school when they were in the conference finals against Buffalo. I was just tuning in occasionally for a while, but the winter classic on new years 2011 really drew me back in and I've caught probably about 90% of their games since then. It's a part of my down time.
This whole thing is surreal. Until this season I really didn't think it would happen. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't follow hockey how out of reach this was thought to be. When I was growing up, breaking this record was understood to be impossible. Ten years ago, it was impossible. Crazy to see the guy from my team do this. He broke his leg in November.
Context: Hockey keeps track of goals, which are self-explanatory, and assists, the last two players to touch the puck before a goal, usually by passing. Sometimes a goal is scored with less than two assists attached, eg a player steals and scores without passing. On average, most players will have about three assists for every two goals.
Gretzky held the goals record for over thirty years and he (still) has more assists than any other player has goals+assists combined. The numbers are beyond the stratosphere of anyone else to ever play. His highlights are the most boring you'll ever see. There have been a number of players who seem to just embarrass everyone else on a regular basis, looking a million times more impressive, and none of them come close. He had an intuition for where the puck and the rest of the other players were going to be in ten seconds and happened to be in the perfect spot with far too much regularity to have been happy accidents.
Ovechkin is 39 and will not come anywhere near the assists record, he won't even get halfway. He doesn't come close to Gretzky's career. But no one will. This was still impossible just a few years ago. He defied the aging curve and kept up with the top goalscorers all the way to age forty.
Will you all stop bragging and just explain the damn thing?
Correct approach, it's the only way to browse this website. We're all in this together.
I kind of feel like if my child died as a direct result of my own stupidity and negligence I probably would find a way to remain in denial over that too. Maybe not for forever, but I don't think I'd be capable of facing that right after.
Not sure if that says something bad about me.
