tl;dr: “yo im leaving wasteof, i actually like touching grass, still available on discord, cya” (paraphrased by @late)
Due to numerous personal factors, I have made the decision to leave wasteof.money, and the public-facing internet at large, indefinitely.
I initially didn't plan on making any kind of announcement because I didn’t want to come across as attention-seeking or performative in my decision. But honestly, leaving people in the dark feels like it’d create an adjacent problem, so I hope this can suffice.
You can continue to contact me in a few private spaces (Discord: kiwi.two, Steam: kiwitwo), or you can leave a message here for the time being. In theory, the only remaining public-facing places I plan to be active are YouTube (youtube.com/@kiwi-two), my currently in-development website (idk lol), and a couple of extremely niche places literally no one cares about. The ultimately unconstructive crapposting you’ve seen here is going to stop for a long while, however.
Just know that I'm doing well in real life and I intend to part on good terms. Having that forced two month break from wasteof honestly did wonders for my mental health so I’d like to keep that up. Ultimately, real life is something I'd like to spend more time enjoying, and this decision reflects that goal.
I hope you guys understand my decision, thank you for the laughs. I did learn quite a bit from my time on here and I’m not going to forget that any time soon.
video essays in a nutshell:
The Simpsons is a show that needs no introduction, but here’s an introduction anyway even though you know what it is. But why is it that so-and-so has happened to it? Today, I’ll be exploring why so-and-so has happened to it. Oh by the way before I start, please subscribe and like the video and join my Discord and join my Patreon and buy me a coffee and follow me on Twitter and I’m on Bluesky now so follow me there too, even though you literally just clicked on this video and don’t have any valid reasons to do so. Anyways, let’s just get straight to the video.
PART I: Entertainment Developments in the Early 16th Century (1501 - 1523)
the beatles: compose songs that come to be recognized as some of the greatest of all time
also the beatles: BANG BANG MAXWELL’S SILVER HAMMER CAME DOWN UPON HER HEAD 
i hate apple!!!1! they make an appbillion dollars every year, yet they can’t afford to support 41-year old hardware?!?!
i tried playing balatro after watching the game awards
all i can say is, HOW DID I NOT DISCOVER THIS GAME EARLIER.
i’m not into solitaire/poker, but wow it’s fun
it kinda gives me tetris vibes, like the concept is so simple and fun i don’t understand how nobody had thought of it earlier
i still don’t exactly understand how everything works, but it’s fun regardless, i recommend checking it out!
i still have my passport from kart kingdom, the mmo-type platformer game that pbs kids used to have! i joined during the beta in 2015 and it was one of my favorite games on the website. i was pretty sad when 2020 rolled around and they announced it’d be closing! oh well… at least i have the memories.
my thoughts on the game awards
1.) they didn’t announce the highly anticipated concord 2: 2 con 2 cord :(((((((((((((
2.) astro bot won game of the year :))))))))))))))))))
3.) i don’t have a ps5 so this doesn’t affect me :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
