I'm trying not to post until my computer is fixed (in the process of doing so, but it's going to take a good amount of hours) because I don't want my posts to be full of spam, but I'll just make one more before I go to bed.
We were both hardcore into antiquing. He played A LOT of Mario games. His favorite Mario game was All Night Nippon Mario, which I actually managed to track down and get a copy of for his birthday. I remember he would get really unreasonably vitriolic when we played Mario Party. He would in complete earnestness yell "I WASN'T READY!" and "THIS ISN'T MY FAULT, THE GAME IS BEING GLITCHY AND RANDOM!" when I would beat him at minigames. We were playing one time and he actually got up and shut the N64 off in rage because I was winning. Playing Mario Party was one of the first things we did together and I had to do a double take, thinking 'is he...really seriously getting upset over this?' That should have been a red flag. That and the diaper he was wearing. We both loved old, obscure game consoles and had an Atari Jaguar, 3DO, and LJN video art. Shmork wasn't much into reading but he would collect comics. Not superhero comics, like...collections of Sunday funnies, I think that's what they were, type of stuff. I tried to get him into rollerblading with me, but he wouldn't. He would accompany me to the skatepark, however, and climb up the ramps so he could roll and tumblesault down them. He also made weird, experimental type music as a hobby which I really wish I could find and post here. Aside from that, he also spent hours in his room where I wasn't allowed in, so he could have had tons of hobbies I didn't know about. He might have been doing deep meditation or yoga in there...but he was most likely looking at piss porn.
I thought I remembered your avatar! I think Shmork's used it in his samples for his avatar commissions. I think I've posted every pic I have of his and his "secret" art, I'll post more if I find more.
Is he...doing that thing that high school girls do with their books to make their boobs looks bigger?
