When you play Super Smash Bros. Melee in single-player mode, the result of a match is immediately indicated by the voice of the Announcer. If you win, he enthusiastically proclaims "Success!". If you lose, he declares
Failure
with a sneering voice so dripping with censure, so inappropriate to a lighthearted video game that I find it funny. But now it's the loudest admonition echoing in my head.
Yes, I'm dealing with failure today.
I'll just say that I'm glad I'm not going into bioinformatics, because this would be an inauspicious way to start.
