If you guessed Fleabane, you were right!

Fleabane is a wildflower in the daisy family. I used this tag in 2001 to sign up for an online community activity run by Nintendo celebrating the launch of Pikmin.

More info in the article below.


Prior to this point in time, I was too shy and nervous about interacting with other people online to have any need of an online identity. This community activity run by Nintendo, however, did not require direct interaction with other people.

The goal was simple; everyone worked together to locate and collect items from the game that were scattered across Nintendo's sites. While there was a leaderboard, emphasis was really put on teamwork. We were the Pikmin! There wasn't all that much to it, but it just felt cool teaming up with people from all over the world to get as many points as we could before the activity ended. I do believe there was a chance of winning prizes for those who shared in the activity, but can't remember what they were. LOL

Sadly, there isn't any remaining trace of my leaderboard placement for me to show you, and my identity as Fleabane ended along with the activity, but here's the best snapshot I could find of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20020403094303/http://www.pikmin.com/flash.jsp

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Bulbasaur N.º 0001

【No Man's Sky】

Possibly the most barren desert moon I've seen so far. Kind of mesmerizing. I installed a base computer just in case I want to try and build something cool here eventually.

My internet is absolutely terrible today; can hardly do anything. I hope this post gets through!

Here's a doodle that depicts my daily life pretty accurately. (Just kidding. )

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Bowser's Furious Disaster

Random purple freefalling floof doodle.

Hope everyone has been doing well. Since I'm limited as to what I can do online at the moment, I'm planning on working outside quite a bit today. Leaves are falling like crazy! Take care!
