christophwarner<p>Today, in the year of our lord 2025, after a long day of slinging code. I decided to play my son for the championship in Mario Kart 8 of this household. For the last 30 some odd years, I've held the crown, the trophies... I've walked around pompously, arrogantly. I knew the day might come, I didn't think it would come this soon and in such dominate fashion. Instead of having a drink, or reading, or any of the other things I could have done to retain the championship. I was slaughtered in a 4-0 crushing defeat by my son. Same karts, same handicaps, same everything (except controller I suspect something is wrong with my controller). As are the ways of Mario Kart. I cannot challenge for a rematch unless he accepts my challenge and I am to remain silent on all things Mario Kart. I cannot give tips, walk around like I know what I'm talking about or generally bask in the glory i've enjoyed for nearly my whole life... We are in dark times... I don't have time to practice, due to all the responsibilities that lay before me.</p><p> ☹️ let this federated post serve as public notification and documentation for the record that my offspring Sir, <REDACTED> is now Mario Kart Champion of this household. May his reign be long and someday I hope he is humble enough to allow me a chance at the crown though I do not deserve it due to my own hubris. <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/mariokartchampion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mariokartchampion</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/mariokart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mariokart</span></a></p>
